Protest Against Rejecting the
Universal Suffrage Bill.
POLICE CHARGE THE MOB.
Several Thousand Rioters Parade the
Streets Of Brussels.
An Excited Mob Surrounds the Chamber
of Deputies-Attempts to Arrest the
Leaders-A Row in Which
Many Are Injured.

BRUSSELS, April 13.-The strike inau-
gurated by the labor leaders as a protest
against the rejection OF the universal suf-
fra e bill is still spreading. In the vici-
nifty of Mons fifteen thousand men are on
strike. Fifteen mines and two factories
in the central district are idle. AT Vaver-
des fortyfve factories were compelled to
close in consequence of the exodus of en-
ployees. A large and excited mob was
around the chamber Of representatives
today when the session resumed and
many of the more turbulent were ar
rested. While ex-Minister Wooster was
returning home from the chamber man
attacked him. The man tried to escape,
but was caught after trying to draw re-
volver on his pursuers.
A savage encounter between strikers
and gen d'armes occurred this evening.
Three thousand strikers raised barri-
cade to prevent the gen armes from pa
trolling their beats. The gen d armes
repeatedly charged the men. One gen
d arme who was thrown off his horse was
maltreated by the mob and several other
gen d 'armes were seriously injured. The
rioters afterward attacked the shop of q
butcher who supplied the gen d 'arnes.
Paturges, near Mons, was also the scene
of an encounter between strikers and gen
d armes.
Several thousand rioters paradsd the
streets in the lower part of the city this
evening. They smashed the windows of
many cafes and shops as they marched
along. The police charged the rioters
with drawn sabres and eventually sue
ceeded in dispensing ths~mob. Several
persons were severely injured and many
arrests were made. Among the men ar
rested were the socialist leaders Volders,
Vanderveld and Macs.
They were arrested while melting riot
ers to further violence.
1t is reported that the anarchists dis
tributed cartridges among the crowd.
The civil guards were called out and held
in readiness for any emergency. They
are supplied with ball cartridges and in
structed to act promptly and with all the
severity necessary to suppress any dis
order that may arise.
at midnight the city is tranquil. Vols
ders, Vanderveld and Macs were liberated
and extra police and guards were ais
missed for the night. Two gendarmes
were seriously hurt, others slight.

BEHRING SEA COURT.
Dir. Carter Continues His Address on Be-
half of the United states.

Dir. Carter Continues His Address on Be-
half OF the United States.
PARIS, April 13.-Upon resumption OF
the sitting OF the Behring sea court OF ar
bftration today, James G. Carter con-
tinued on behalf of the United States the
presen tation of the American side of the
case, commenced yesterday. He read
letters bearing upon the question at
issue, sent by Blaine when secretary OF
state to Sir Julian Pauncefote, BRUSH
minister at Washington. After reading
these letters, Mr.. Carter lengthily COM
mented upon them. He contended that
Biaine's communications to the British
representatives should be the basis of ne
gOtiations for a regulation of the sealing
industry and was TO preserve the species,
and this apart from the question of the
rights. Lord Salisbury, Mr.. Carter fur
commended, in his dispatches to Paunce-
tote in response to Blaine's letters, ably
and ingeniously avoided rather than an
swered Blaine's arguments that pelagic
fishing was cOntraband moreS.
At this point John T. Morgan, one OF
the arbitrator on the part of the United
States, inquired whether Canada had ap-
proved the draft of the convention before
Lord Salisbury made his suggestion rela-
tive to the 10-mile limit? This question
II
Sir Charles Russell, OF counsel for Great
Britain, Sir John Thompson of Canada,
one of the British arbitrators, and Sen
ator Morgan took part.
Mr.. Carter admitted the facts that
Pelagic sealing was wrong and did not
give the United States the right to inter-
! fere but contended when it proved such
sealing injured American industry it
became the duty OF the United States to
stop the practice. Mr.. Carter in conclud-
ing proceeded to question the right OF the
| United States to protect its sealing in
dustries. He began by declaring that
however valuable to the United States q
seal herd might be, its greatness as a
nation forbade its accepting any decision,
unless founded upon principles of JUS
tice.
He was convinced that Great Britain
! shared these Views and demanded only 6
decision dictated by these principles.
| He appealed to members of the court to
dismiss from their breasts every feeling
OF partiality and give Judgment not As
citizens of any particular country, but as
citizens of the world. Mr.. Carter had
not finished when court adjourned.

Martin to his seat as senator, and stating
who was legally elected, was presented

Republican senatorial Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Republi-
can senators in caucus this morning de-
cided to insist to the last on an investiga-
ton of the charges against Roach and the
claim of Ady to Martin seat.
1t was decided that vigorous opposition
should be made against consideration of
Roach behind closed doors. But one con
cIusion they insisted, could be the out
come of the struggle that was precipitsted
aud that was that the Senate should
agree that the committee on privileges
and elections should by subcommittee
or otherwise, investigate the Roach case
and the validity of the claim of Martin to
his seat during the recess and report TO
the Senate at the next regular session. #
finally the Democrats are prepared to
assume the responsibility of voting down
a resolution to Investigate, it must be
done, the Republican senators asserted
with vehemance, by a voting quorum
and the responsib ility for such action
be thus placed where it belongs.

THE CLAYTON TRIAL.
The Defendant Hickey Identified as a
Former Resident OF Arkansas.
Hickey Is Committed to Jail to Await the
Action of the Grand Jury-Burk-
hardt Taken to the Pen.

MoRRnToN, Ark, April 13.-The first
witness to identity Frank Hickey, de-
PENDANT in the Clayton trial testified this
morning. 1t was D. Q. Mclaughlin, en-
gineer OF the government building at Lit
tie Rock. He stated that Hickey was in
Arkansas in December, 1888. Defendant
was greatly disconnected when identified.
Burkhardt's brother was examined and
he was unable to recognize Hickey as the
boy raised by his mother at Shawneetown,
Ills. Burkhardt this afternoon said he
knew about the case but would not give
evidence until summoned before the
grand jury when the case comes before
it. This afternoon an order was made
committing the defendant to jail to await
the grand jury and Burkhardt to the
penitentiary at Little Rock for safe keep
ing.
This morning Hickey received tele-
gram from Cedar Rapids, Ia, signed
ssKate, - supposed to be his wife. The

WHO Is BEHIND THE DEALl
That Is the Question Agitating
the Bears.
A COLD FLOODED AFFAIR.
Squeezing the Shorts for Every Dollar
in Sight.

bridge Is Now a Lay Figure
Will His Wife Help Him?

break of ten cents from yesterdays high
point. The general air on change Is of
awful uncertainty. To many it looked
like the celebrated bull clique had aban-
doned their deal. This theory was not
generally entertained, however. Another
object of letting down the price was
thought to be to encourage the shorts to
respond to margin calls more freely than
they have for two or three days. The
deal, it is asserted, Is being run in abso-
lutely cold blood and it is determined to
get every dollar out OF it that can be OBJ
tanned.
Partridge was decidedly lay figure to-
day. He is quoted as saying that as soou
as his wife returns from California he will
have another million dollars in cash at his
disposal. He has telegraphed for her.
Those best acquainted with the inside
situation say Mrs. Partridge will never
put her signature to paper involving a
dollars worth of the e, coo, 600 real estate
standing In her name, but the clique
seems willing to give him a chance to
raise all the cash he can scrape together,
evidently acting on the theory that the
more he puts up the more they will get.
In confirmation of the theory that the
pluHBer Will ger no aIQ from MS D6bber
half, story is told that she made him
pledge himself not to speculate in a line
of over million bushels, and that his
son was given charge of his bank account
and check book TO prevent violation of
this agreement. Several times since she
has called him down on reports from the
son, but the Spectator has still operated
beyond the limit.
There is still great amount of specula
ton as to who is really behind the deal,
and Drexel, Morgan & Co, James R..
Keene and others are most frequently
mentioned.
a strange coincidence is the fact that C
j. Kershaw is in the city. He is the man
who was one of the principal brokers in the
big Harper wheat deal in 1887, and occu-
pied the same position as the Cudahy's
do in the present operation. This is the
first time he has been back since then.
E. A. Pillsbury arrived from Minneap-
oils during the day, and made several
trips between the offices of his brokers
and Cudahy's. 1t is reported that he is
settling up as much as five million bush
els, and had not brought money enough
with him and had to make big draft on
his English partners.

THE MICHIGAN CYCLONE
At Ypsilanti The Loss Reaches 500, 900
Other Towns Damaged.

Other Towns Damaged.
DETROIT, Mich, April ia wind and
rain storm passed through the township
of Royal park last night. Nearly every
thing in its path was leveled. The house
OF Christian Brick was demolished and
took fire. Brick, his wife and children
escaped, but his father and mother were
burned to death.
A cyclone passed south of Milan last
night. At GAINESVILLE house was blown
down, woman was killed and much
damage done in the country
A terrible wind storm passed over Dun
dee last night. At Rea, three miles west,
only one building was left standing.
Mrs. Jacob Heiser was killed and her hus-
band fatally hurt. Hundreds OF acres OF
orchards are ruined.
There is no truth in the report that the
village of Saline was wiped out by cy-
clone.
The city of Ypsilanti today is in lam
entable condition and business is sus-
pended owing to the havoc caused by last
nights storm. Almost all of the princi-
pal business blocks, stores, opera house,
post office, hotels and several dwellings
were either demolished or badly damaged
Houses were lifted from their founda-
tions, buildings unroofed and the walls
tumbied into the streets mass of ruins
In some places the debris is piled fifteen
feet high. All electric light and other
wires were blown down and the city is in
darkness. The heavy rain which followed
the storm added largely to the damage OF
stocks of goods left exposed.
There were many narrow escapes but
so far as known not life was lost as a
result of the storm. Roughly estimated
the loss on business houses is between
500, 900 and $50, 900 divided up among
large number of persons. Somewhere
near 100 dwellings and barns were des-
troyed on which the loss is estimated al
$4,000. The work of clearing up the
streets was rushed as fast as possible al
day and considerable debris is already re.
moved.

WANT AN INVESTIGATION.


Protest of Kansas Legislators Regarding
Senator Martins Right to Seat.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The seventy
four members of the Kansas legislature,
vino ask that an investigation be made
into the right of John R. Martin to his
seat as Senator from Kansas, says: If
these members were permitted 70 vote no
one would have had majority, as all the
votes are cast in joint assembly and there
would have been no election OF United
States Senator. They, therefore, resolved
to enter a solemn protest against what
they declare to be a revolutionary and
illegal transaction. and instructed the
president of the joint assembly to appoint
committee to prepare formal state
ment and emphatic protest to the Senate
of the United States, which protest was
the one presented to The Senate today.

Towards the Wall.

The Detroit Electrical Company Crowded
Towards the Wall.
DETROIT, April ia local paper says
the Detroit Electrical company is embar-
raised, owing to several reasons, the prin-
|cipal of which is competition. The paper
adds: For fourteen years the concern
was fairly prosperous, but two or three
years ago there was tremendous devel-
ment in electrical industries which in
volved great deal of expensive expert
ments. The company raised their capital
TO 81 900, 900 and tried to keep up with the
procession, but did not succeed.
Then it issued $500, 000 preferred stock
and tried to place it, but the attempt was
failure and creditors became ciamorous.
The president of the company secured the
company by paying and endorsing notes
to the amount of SS75 200, and on Friday
last the company secured him by mort
gage for that amount on the entire prop
erty, but the total Indebtedness amounts
to $3.50, 600. A meeting of the stockhold-
will be held tomorrow at which lively
time is predicted.

An Investigation Had and lie VIII Proba-
bly, BE Recommend for Confirmation.
WASHINGTON. April 13-The Sub Com
mittee on Judiciary was engaged this af-
ternoon in examining charges that were
made against A. B. Fall, nominated to be
associate justice OF the supreme court of
New Mexico
1t is said by Repu bIicans from that ter
ritory that Fall was not competent for
the place; that he was more of politician
than q lawyer and further that he is a
man disposed TO be tyrannical in those
essentials that go to make up unpre-
JUDGED iurists. No imputations upon
his integrity were made. The charges
did not reach the committee in the shape
of specific assertions, but they asked Fall
why they should respond to them and he
produceda number of gentlemen who
knew him, all of whom appeared before
the committee this afternoon. These men
say Fall is good lawyer and a member
of one of the leading legal firms in the
territory and that he is in every way
competant for the place. The committee
will probably recommend his confirma-
ton.

tatives personally interfering in the con-
duct of the government of foreign
