test against the rejection by the cham
Der OF deputies OF the universal suffrage
bill is still spreading. In the vicinity
of Mons, the capital of the province of
Hainaut, which is always prominent in
labor disturbances, $1,000 men are Oh
strike. Fifteen mines and two factories
in the central district are idle. AT
Verviers, an important manufacturing
town, fourteen miles east OF Liege,
siXty-five factories have been compelled
to close in consequence Of the exodus of
their employees. The decree ordering
the strike has not as yet been obeyed,
either at Charleroi or LEGO. There was
a large and excited mob around the
chamber of representatives today when
the session was resumed. Many of the
more turbulent of the mob were ar
rested. While Minister Woeste was
returning home from the chamber,
man attacked him, striking him
violently on the chin with his fist. The
man then tried to escape, but was soon
caught, after trying to draw revolver
on his pursuers.
There was savage encounter be-
tween strikers and gendarmes this even
ing in the town of Quaregnon, four
miles from Mons. Three thousand
strikers had raised barricade in the
Rue MonSville to prevent the gendarmes
from patroling their beats. The gen.
darmes repeatedly charged the mob.
One gendarme, who was thrown off his
horse, was savagely maltreated by the
mob. Several other gendarmeS were
seriously injured. The rioters afterward
sacked the shop OF butcher who had
supplied the gendarmes with ropes
with which to bind rioters who had
been arrested. The town of HaturageS.
near Mons. was also the scene of an

Mr.. jacobson tried to have the house

much opposition that the bill was sent

ever going through. The passage of the

strongest Republicans very sore.

FIXED FOR FAT FEES,
Oil Inspector Foote Gets His

And a Bill Passes Which Will
Net Him $4,000 a
Year.
Senate Gets to Work Looping
OFF the Big Appropria-
tons.
Editor Day Has His Lynx Eye
on the Judiciary
DOings.

Aside from the scorchlng given "your
Uncle'' Loren Fletcher, the most nota-
bic feature of yesterdays session of
the senate was the bill providing an
enormously fat Office for the clever and
ingenious II. w. FOOte. This was done
in the new oil inspection bill, giving the
inspectors the entire fees provided in
the act. Shrewd guessers approximate
the sum that he will reap at from S4O,-
600 to $4,000, and the most conservative
estimate places 1t at $4,000. 1t did not
pass the senate, however, without the
most vigorous protest of several mem
berS. nor without stubbOrnly fought at
tempts to cut down the fees. But it
passed, and by prOdigiouS majority.
The general appropriation bill also
met with no unmeaning opposition on
the part of senators engaged III combat
ting extravagances, and then, after
adopting six sections, the bill was laid
over for passage this morning.

VIGILANT AND VVATCHFUL.
Senator Day Keeps His Argus Fey
Upon the Judiciary Committee.

Senator Day Keeps His Argus Eye
Upon the Judiciary ConnlIttee.
Senator Day moved that the judiciary
committee be discharged from further
consideration of House File 100, and,
furthermore, that it be placed upon
general orders for consideration in the
committee of the whole. Mr.. Day forti-
fed the intention of the motion by ex-
planning the purpose Of the bill and by
appealing to the members to protect the
interests of the farmer. The bill, it
should be related, is the measure to
prevent any one with dog and gun to
cross farms. The effect of the bill Is
manifest. 1t proposes to stop city hunt
ers and gamesters from hunting game
upon farm lands. and making the farm
a preserve for the owner to hunt at
pleasure. 1t is one of those acts
that will meet with the act
i've opposition of all who take
pleasure in hunting, and who believe
that wild fowls and other game belong
to the entire people, and not to the
owner of the lands upon which they
chance to land or to feed. In order to
reach certain lakes where ducks make
the temporary homes it is necessary to
cross farms, it is said. That is to say,
there are lakes that public highways do
not lead to. But Senator Day will adj
vocate the passage of the measure upon
the hypothesis that domestic ANIMALS
and fowls are menaced by the average
civ hunter.

Providing for the Public Institu-
lions Maintenance.
The general appropriations omnibus
bill came up yesterday afternoon as a
special order and was placed on its final
reading and passage. 1t provoked des-
ultory discussion at times, but repeated
and persistent explanations were &C
cepted as satisfactory by senators who
had manifested inquisitive and doubt
ing proelivities. The bill was consid-
cred section by section.
The educational feature, or the por-
ton of the bill providing maintenance
for the normal schools. brought Senator
Leavitt to his feet. He protested that
no man placed more value upon educa-
ton, but he c0ntended that there should
be some limit TO the normal school SyS-
TEN, and in substantiation of his theory
he moved to strike out the provision for
additional normal schools. He insisted
that the present school capacity is ample
! and adequate for the education and
training of all the teachers required to
conduct the public schools of the state
Senator Lommen argued that the nor
nal schools should be given liberal at
tention, for the reason that the normal
schools are of rare benefit to country
schools. 1t is more necessary for the
state to provide for the education of
teachers than for making liberal appro-
! priations for providing systems of tech

$1,000, on which he carried an insurance
of $1,000. Frank Apple, who has charge
