A VOTE ON SUFFRAGE.
The People of Belgium Ballot Under
the Auspices of the Liberals.

The People of Belgium Ballot Under
the Auspices of the Liberals.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 96.-The referendum In
stituted by the liberal societies to learn the
sentiment Of the people on the suffrage
question was taken to-day throughout the
kingdom. In this city there were forty.
nine polling stations. AS the referendum
was entirely unofficial most of the stations
were at cafes, cigar stores and
newspaper offices. All the OUT
lying villages had polling stations,
so that as large vote as possible mi ght be
obtained in the district Despite the rain
the streets were thronged all day and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed, and es-
peclally in the quarters occupied by the
workingmen, although there was no dis
order. In Brussels some $4,000 votes were
cast. A large majority favored NJ.
Jansens proposal Of universal man
hood suffrage. The socialists voted
Tor it to men. The Catholics
and the more moderate liberals abstained
from voting. In the smaller cities and IN
the towns the majority for Jausen's pro-
posal is still greater than here. Although
the opponents of universal suffrage are try
ing already to break the force Of the verdict
by making charges OF bribery there is no
doubt that the opinion expressed by the
people to-day will have strong influence
upon the suffrage in the chamber on Tues
day

BOTH LIE IN ONE GRAVE.
A BIG CROWD AT THE FUNERAL,
OF THE FORCE SISTERS.

The Services Conducted By an Rpisco-

The Statement Written by the Muir
deress in Possession of the Chief of
Police.
ATLANTA. GA, Feb. 26.-Chief Of Police
Connolly this afternoon succeeded in Iocat-
ing the statement written by Miss Julia
Force of the causes leading up TO the killing
by her Of her two sisters, Minnie and Flor
ence, on Saturday. Miss Force, It will be
remembered, when she gave herself in
charge of the police after committing the
horrible double homicide, said she had writ
ten such statement, giving in detail the
Incentive to her crime. but steadily refused
TO give any cIew as to the party into
whose hands she had placed it. De-
tectives have been searching for the
document since the tragedy, however,
and this afternoon placed il in the chiefs
hands. Chief Connolly declines to allow
the statement to be seen for publication,
holding it to be used as evidence on the
trial. He stated Tonight, however, that in
effect it showed Miss Force to be under the
impression or delusion that her sisters and
brothers were discriminating and un-
friendly toward her. The climax was
reached last week when j. NJ. High & Co.
were notified to sell her no more goods on
credit Miss Force appears to be perfectly
rational, and while the general impression
is that she is a monomanic, there is a
theory that jealousy is the real cause Of the
killing. John L. Hardeman of Macon,
prosecuting attorney in the Voolfolk case,
and a second cousin of Miss Force, arrived
here this morning and will act as her coun-
sci. A preliminary trinl may be held to-
morrow.
The funeral of the Misses Force took place
from their late residence this afternoon. Il
was probably the largest attended funeral
in Atlanta's history. Episcopal and Pres
byterian ministers ofliciated, one of the
dead women being an ardent worker Of the
Episcopa lohurch and the other a Presby-
terian. The sisters were buried in the same
grave,
