The Recent Violent Agitation In Belgium
Has Its Effect on the Chamber of Rep
resentatiyes-Action Taken in Favor of
Universal Suffrage by a Decisive Vote
The Labor Leaders will Now Call on
the Great Strike.
BRUSSELS, April 19.-The chamber of
represen tatives reassembled after the
preparation of the reports on the re-
vision of the constitution, and by q
vote of 119 against ., with fourteen
abstainers from voting, adopted uni
versal suffrage, with provision for
plural voting by the classes owning
property, according to the amount and
situation Of the property.
Cheers within the chamber were fol-
lowed by prodigious acclamations
from the enormous crowd that awaited
the result of the voting outside the
chamber. The greatest enthusiasm
was displayed everywhere and the peo-
pie joined in jubilee in honor of the
great triumph which they had achieved.
The vote in favor OF universal suffrage
will have an allaying effect upon the
popular excitement and agitation,
which had been assuming the dimen-
sions Of general insurrection.
The dread of terrible uprising of
the people, similar TO that of the
French revolution in its resistless rage
against privilege and power, had the
effect of bringing the chamber OF rep
resent ntatives around to the popular side.
There is no doubt in mlny minds that
had the chamber not acted promptly
there would have been a revolution in
Belgium.
In view of the action of the deputies
the labor leaders resolved at the meet
ing held yesterday afternoon to advise
the abandonment of the general strike.
At the same time they decided to issue
to the people a manifesto against the
Nyssen bill, which opposes the combi-
nation of plural voting and universal
suffrage. The leaders viii urge the
people to follow up their victory by
agitating increasingly for universe
suffrage, pure and simple.
Police and workingmen had several
encounters last evening. and seven
rioters were seriously injured. Never
theless the end Of the riots is bound to
be near. The decision of the labor
leaders to abandon the strike has pro-
dneed general feeling Of relief

the woods on every side. About
200 yards further down half
dozen other Hungarians were
at the schoolhouse on the
Harleigh road and near by other Hun
garians were met The fight that en-
sued was terrific. The IIungarians,

the first onslaught prepared to defend
themselves, and n volley Of bullets
poured into the attacking Italians
served to check them for a moment It
was only for moment however, as
the next instant they closed in upon
their adversaries and a fierce hand-to-
hand conflict ensuel, the Italian rsti-
letto playing havoc with the Hunga-
rians The latter were outnumbered
largely. and, becoming dismayed, broke
and ran precipitatcly.
The yells ct the victorious Italians
echoed through the mountains and
soon attracted q numer Of villagers to
the scene. At each point of attack in
jured men were found lying on the
ground groaning from wounds received
in the melee.

were picked up unconscious and
brought to the hospital in this city.

THE adoption of bullet proof cloth
for the uniform of Austrian soldiers
seems like a return to the old habit of
dressing in coats of mail. For years,
50 far as comba tive purposes have been
concerned, all idea Of protecting the
body from bullet or sword or bayonet
thrust has been abandoned, the chief
qualities sought for in the armed
soldier being quicl1ness and ability to
stand long marches. The new cloth,
however, is said to be remarkabl

The part of the city that was devas-

bodily from the tracks and overturned
them. AS soon as the storm had passed
