NEAR REVOLUTION.
The Situation as 1t Looks in
Belgium.
FIERCE FIGHT WITH A MONS MOB.

Fourteen of the Civic Guard Wounded,
Three of Them Fatally, and Four of the
Mob Known To Be Killed-GOvernment
Taking Extraordinary Measurss-Des-
perate Struggle at Antwerp.
BRUSSELS, April lS.-Extraordinary mill
tary measures have been adopted to pre-
serve order in this city. Strong enforce
ments of chasseurs and carbiners are ar
irving with every train. The government
has issued a decree calling out all the mill
tia for the defense of the state. This means
the mobilization of $1,000 troops against
the workingmen. The turbulence of the
working classes amounts to little less than
a revolution, and it is not known how soon
Prussian and Austrian troops may be seen
on the streets, if order is not restored.
These powers have the right according to
treaty to help put down rebellion, but
France would look with jealous and angry
eyes on the execution of that right.
Fierce Fight at Mons.
A fierce fight has taken place at Mons.
There the turbulence began with an ex-
plosion of dynamite and the noise of the
explosion seemed to be a signal for the out
break of violence. The strikers at once
proceeded to take possession of the town,
and collected in large crowds. They pa
raded the streets singing the "Carmagnole"
and the @Marseillaise." An attempt to dis
perse them with the civic guards was paid
no attention to and the order was given to
fire.
Bullets Did Deadly Work.
The mob defied the guards to fire upon
them and threw heavy stones, bottles and
other missiles at them. The guard fired
upon the crowd, but this did not effect their
dispersal. On the contrary, it only infuri-
ated them and q charge en- masse was made
upon the guard. A desperate hand-to-hand
conflict ensued. The main body of the
strikers was broken up, but groups of
struggling men could be seen in the side
streets leading from the main thorough
fare. The battle was long and bitterly con-
tested but finally the civic guards were
victorious 1t is known that four OF the
miners were killed. Many Of the rioters
guards. three fatally.
Barricades at Antwerp.
At Antwerp the police with drawn
swords attacked the mob and were re-
pulsed. Reinforcemeuts were called for
and meantime the mob threw up barrcades
and women and children fastened from
the houses with firearms. When another
squadron of police supported by detach-
ment Of the civic guard tried half an hour
later to drive back the mob they were met
with volleys from the revolvers and rifles
of the men behind the barricades.
Many of the soldiers were wounded.
More military was summoned and after
two charges carried the barricades. The
strikers retreated, firing.

CINCINNATI, April ls.-In 1892 the lsgis-
iature passed law making it a INSIDE
meanor for an agent of any company to
roerce or threaten to discharge any smploye
because of his membership in any lawful
labor organization. The Cincinnati Edison
Electric company, through Superintendent
Davis, last week notified the employees of
the pla Mt that they must choose between
the union and their jobs. They stuck to
the union and were locked out. Seven of
the men have sworn out a warrant against
Davis under the statute referred to. The
result of the case will decide the validity OF
the law.
