RIOTS IN BELGIUM.
Troubles Consequent upon the Revision of
the Constitution.

TROUBLES consequent upon Inc 1SSNlSich Oh
the Constitution.
In Belgium the most serious disturbance that
has yet occurred during the agitation against
the deputies for rejecting the universal suf-
frage bill, took place at Jolimont. In fight
between the strikers and the gendarmes one
woman was killed and three strikers were
wounded. All sorts of weapons were used, and
the strikers were dispersed only after a charge
with drawn swords by the police.
In Client the strikers have caused much
damage They are weavers, and persist in
their attempts to drive substitute workers from
the looms Conflicts have been going for
the past several days in Amsterdam and Ant
werp between the police and rioters, and at
Mons the strikers using dynamite. All
over the Province there are reports of strikes,
disorder, and struggles.
The Belgian Government has issued decree
calling out all the militia, which means the
mobilization of some $4,000 men against the
strikers. The feeling of unrest continues to
spread slowly bnt surely. and there is no deny
ing the fact that the crisis is acute.
A Partisan journal says that when the first
disturbances in connection with the revision of
the Constitution occurred in Belgium, the
French Government was informed by the Bel
gian Government that in the event of King
Leopold being obliged to leave the country
Belgium would be occupied Immediately by
the German army
The journal adds that in the event of a sue
eessful revolution in Belgium, the Seventh,
Eighth and Eleventh Prussian Army Corps
would within "a hours occupy Namur and
Liege. Indeed, so perfect are the arrangements
for the mobilization of the German army that
wi thin As hours 10000 troops could be sent
through Belgium and take up position be-
tween Lille aud Maubeuge.

Rebellion in Honduras.

The revolutionists in Honduras have carried
everything before them, and now in full
possession of the Government The capture of
the ports of Celba and Truxillo was affected
almost without opposition with the aid Of the
steamship Rover, which had been seized and
improvised as a man. Of war. President Levia,
who had fed from the interior. leaving Gen.
Vasquez in command, was at Puerto Cortez, on
the Gulf Coast, and an expedition was being
prepared against that place in order to capture
Levia, who has but few men.
When Puerto Cortez is subjugated, it is the
intention of the rebels to attack Ruttan and
the Utla Islands. At the latter place it is
said there is quantity of arms. No news is
obtainable from the interior. The people gen.
orally have fed from the coast because the
rebels have been forcing them into their army.
This has sadly interfered with the banana
trade

Boring Sea Arbitration.

The proceedings in the Boring Sea matter
drag along. Last week Mr.. j. c. Carter, coun-
sci for the United States, discussed the law
governing the tribunal and likened the pelagic
sealing to piracy. He devoted some time to
the original rights Of Russia in Boring Sea,
which, he claimed were founded on the dis
covery of the waters by Russian navigators,
whose achievements Mr.. Carter related and de-
lineated to the court, with the assistance OF a
large map exhibited on the wall, and which
embraced description of Boring Sea and the
adjoining regions.
Mr.. Carter proceeded to quote from the de-
cision of Chief Justice Marshall to the effect
that the right of seizure and search was not
limited to three miles. Mr.. Carter said he had
no doubt that Great Britain admitted this
theory,
Sir Charles Russell, counsel for Great Britain,
intimated that Great Britain held a contrary
opinion.
Mr.. Carter replied that in that case the judg-
ment of Chief Justice Cockburn must be upset,
as nc upheld the theory referred to- 80

OLD GLORY HAULED DOWN.
Commissioner BIount i'm Hawaii Makes a
Very Significant Move.

On April 1, at IL a. M, the American flag
flying over the Government yard at Honolulu
was hauled down. The action was by the
order of Commissioner Bount, sent to the ISL
ands by President Cleveland.
1t was on the afternoon of the previous day
that Commissioner Blount held conference
with President Dole and the Ministry of the
Provisional Government, at which he notified
them of his intention to declare off the prOtec-
torate established by Minister Stevens Feb. 1.
1t is understood that he gave as his reason
therefor that the Washington Administ ration
did not regard the protectorate as necessary,
and, further, that it was incompatible with any
diplomatic negotiations that might be arranged
between the two countries The United States,
however, would brook no hostile interference
in Hawaiian affairs by any foreign power.
The Provisional Government acquesced and
ordered out their forces to maintain the peace
if necessary At 10 o'clock, April l, about 400
men in all assembled in the iDclosure before
the Government building. In rear of them a
battery was stationed. President Dole and
the members of his Cabinet Chief Justice Judd
and other officers, officers from the vessels in
the harbor, and press representatives. As the
hand of the clock reached the hour of IL min
utes past the hour of IL, Lieut. Draper stepped
forward, and facing the Government building,
raised his bugle and sounded the call in \
clear and distinct note Drawn by unseen
agencies the flag sank from sight and a mo-
ment later the Hawaiian emblem was flying.

The Gold Reserve.

On April Is there was S1,790, $50 in gold
lying in the vaults Of the sub-treasury in New
York City. but on the aftern Don of the same
day 81 $50, 900 had been drawn for shipment to
Europe leaving on hand balance of $40, $50 of
free gold. This matter seems to BIO giving the
Treasury officials considerable trouble, and it is
hoped that before the next shipment of gold
the amount may be increased by a sufficient
sum to meet the export demand.
The large gold exports are ascribed to the
balance of trade against the United States, the
exports being by no means equal to the imports
The Bureau of Statistics in its statement OF
foreign commerce for March, 1893, shows the
excess of imports over exports to- he as follows :
For the month of March. 500. 075. 600; for three
months ended March 81, $6l916,000; for the
nine months ended March 81. $47, 900, and
for the IL months ended March 81, 500, $40, 000
reversal is looked for next month, owing TO
the opening of the Worlds Fair and other
causes of minor importance
Secretary Carlisle is inclined TO think that
the heavy expectation of gold is due to peo-
pie whose interest would be favored by a
bond issue. 1t is said that the Secretary is OPP
posed to the issue of bonds save in the gravest
emergency. He would much rather prefer a
temporary use Of the gold reserve until matters
have a better aspect. That such a case as the
present one was expected by the Treasury
officials seems to be certain. The order to issue
no more gold certificates, so as to have as much
free gold az possible on hand was precautiOn-
arv measure.

A Fatal Sercnade.

A young man by the name of Anderson was
married to a young lady of Hodgeman County,
Kan, and took her to the home he had pro-
vided on farm near Meas City, Kan. On April
Is about midnight his house was surrounded
by about 40 serenaders, including all the hood

A Murderer's Fearful Fate.

1t was a fendish- looking scene April II
across the border in Georgia and near Eufaula,
Ala, when an angry mob stood around the
funeral pyre which had for its sacrifice negro
who had committed murder during the early
part of the day. The crowd was composed of
200 people, of whom ne-third were white
The victim had been brought to the spot by
the. whites. and when it was resolved that the
wretch should expiate his offense upon the pile,
the negroes were called in to do the work of
gathering the fago,s.
On the line of Clay and Quitman Counties
there was a store kept ny Jefferson Burnett.
On Thursday morning Burnett was found in a
dying condition, with several shots in his body.
In an hour he breathed his last. A clue was
obtained casting suspicion upon strange negro
who had been seen coming toward the Alabama
line. A posse came upon him within four miles
of Quitman.
The negro would say no more about himself
than that his name was Ed" that he was
from Florida, and that he was on his way to
Eufaula for work. He was seized, bound and
thrown across a horse, and taken back TO the
scene Of the crime. No sooner did he come
near to it than he began to appeal for mercy.
He acknowledged that he had slain the young
man. "It was the devil that tempted me-" he
said.
BY the store there was the stump of an old
pine tree. LET us burn the wretch" said
one, and Immediately the crowd began making
preparations. The negroes readily Joined in,
| even the women, and began carrying rails and
fagots to the spot which were piled up around
the stump until they were about 10 feet high.
With heave the screaming victim was thrown
to the top of the pile. kerosene poured upon it,
and in an instant, by the application of match
to the fat pine, the flames rose up Is 90 feet
The wretch made desperate attempt to roll
off but he was prodded back whenever he came
to the edge by negroes, who apparently enjoyed
the privilege of taking part in such scene
Finally his efforts to escape became so strong
! that several shots were fired, which was the
signal for general fusillade. The quverine
body did not much longer give signs of life, but
became rigid, while the fire was kept punched
up until there was not a vestige left except a
| pile of ashes to tell what had happened.

The Chinese Exclusion Act.

A prominent San Francisco custom official,
who has made careful investigation of the
doings of the Chinese Six Com panies in their
efforts to fight the Geary Act, finds that if the
law is held unconstitutional it will be the loss
OF large revenue of the companies Every
Chinaman that the Six Companies brings into
case the sum is paid, the collections being easy.
The companies land the Cinnamon in this
country, secure them positions, and deduct,
generally. S. per month from the wages OF
each; but, on extra occasions, sometimes SIC
per month is held back, the amount depending
altogether on the wages received. The Geary
Act, If declared unconstitutional. will destroy
this money making scheme of the Six Com
panies, and it is to be expected they don't pro-
pose to lose this enormous revenue monthly
without a contest

Changing Kentuckv,s Capital.

1t begins to look if the fight for removing
the State Capital from Frankfort is in earnest
this time. The Louisville Council has ordered
an election on April II on proposition to
issue 81 100000 of bonds, which will be given
the State, together with suitable building
site if the Capital is removed to Lexington.
Lexington has offered $3.50 600 and a building
site. The Legislature is strongly in favor OF
moving the Capital away from Frankfort, and
unless this Legislature does it, according to the
new Constitution, it must remain whore it is.
1t is confidently claimed by the friends of re-
moval that Louisville will vote the bonds and
that the new State buildings will be erected
here ..-.
