LANSING, Mich, July 6.--The Mich

case brought to test the validity Of the
Mcleod law, which authorizes the APP
pointment of the Detroit street railway
commission, whose object was the pur-
chase and municipal ownership and op-
Grafton of street railways Of Detroit.
The decision is that the law is unconsti-
tutional, so that there is no such office
as the Detroit street railway commits
sion, that Governor Pingree and the
other commissioners have no title
thereto and that judgment of custer
must be entered against them. The
Detroit plan for municipal ownership
had been temporarily blocked by the
legal difficulties in the way of holding, a
special election on the question. BY

t"The United States Flour Milling
company has acquired all the. property,
mills, good will and business of the
Northwestern Consolidated Milling
company and the Consolidated Milling
company of Minneapolis. These mills
have an output Of 1860 barrels per
day. In addition to the requirement Of
these properties A. G. Loring, who was

This addition to the properties of the
United States Flour Milling company,
the promotion of which was due solely
to Mr.. McIntyre's perseverance, half re-
allies his original project. This was to
merge the -four milling interests on a
capitalization of $3.50, 900, the con-
solidated mills to have a capacity of

PUBLIC PACIFIED,

isfactory to the Opposition.
BRUSSELS. July Gin the chamber of
deputies M. Vandenperebom, at the
opening of the session, reiterated the
governments strong desire to affect a
Cancellation and pacify the public mind.
He continued:
1.-The government considers there is
ground for entertaining the counter
electoral proposals suggested by various
members and submitting them to a
committee on which all parties will be
represented. The government, in the
meanwhile, is prepared to consider the
necessary steps to accomplish the de-
sired understanding.
NJ. Wander Velde, Socialist, on behalf
of the two parties Of Leftists, supported
the ministerial proposal, which he de-
clared was equivalent to the withdrawal
of the government scheme. The coun-
try, he continued, has thus achieved a
signal victory and is convinced that the
only solution of the existing party diff
ferences is an appeal to the country,
either through all early election, disso-
luton or referendum.
At a large meeting held in the Fallo-
mond the speakers exhorted the popu~
lace to continue the fight for universal
suffrage. A number of civic guards
entered with arms reversed. One of
them said:
eve have ten cartridges; too many
for seven minister's"

THE BELGIAN SITUATION.
Explanation of the Crisis That May Yet
Provoke q ReVolution.

Ezp.anation of the Crisis That May Yet
Provoke Revolution.
PARIS, July 6.-The Brussels CORE,
spondent of The Figaro gives some
striking official figures which reveal in
clear light the moving cause Of the
crisis that has shaken Belgium to its
center and still threatens revolution.
The chamber of deputies is composed
of 152 members. The government or
clerical vote at the last election for rep
resentatives in this body was 995, 800,
while the opposition vote for Socialists
and Liberals together was 956,s27. On
a fair equitable system Of representa-
ton this would give the government
about IS and the opposition "A repre-
sentatives, or a meager majority of a
for the former. Now as a matter
of fact the clericals have liz members
and their opponents only 40. That is to
say, while the clericals outnumber the
Liberals and Socialists at the polls by
fewer than IS, 900 votes in the total vote
of nearly 100000, they outnumber
them in the chamber by nearly three to
one. ~
Such is the practical effect of the
present system of proportionate repre-
sentation and plural voting since its
adoption some six years ago. That sys-
tenn has been assailed by Socialists and
Liberals and has even been disapproved
by moderate clericals. The necessity of
reforming it has been recognized by
King Leopold, but the bill brought for
ward by Premier Vanden Peereboom,
though ostensibly reform measure, is
really designed to make matters worse.
Its practical effect can only be to
strengthen the clerical majority. That
evidently is its purpose. That the gov
eminent has made not only a mistake,
but dangerous move in bringing it
forward is sufficiently shown by the Sc
rious crisis it has preci pitated. It has
united the Socialists and the Liberals in
solid opposition, whose strength and
determination may well cause the king
as we'll as the clerical premier grave
concern.
Now that the crisis has been forced
and the allied Socialists and Liberals
have demonstrated their combined
strength, the question is will they stop
short of insisting upon an electoral re-
form that will give them parliamentary
representation approximately proper
Tomato to their voting numbers:
Therein lies the danger that hangs over
the government, if not the monarchy
itself in Belgium.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July GA fire broke
out in the establishment of the Mem
phis Paper company at the corner of
Gayoso and Front streets during the aft
ernoon and before it was subdued had
caused the loss Of one life, the fatal in
jury of ex-Fire Chief Cleary and the Sc
rious injury of Assistant Fire Chief
James Ryan, besides property loss of
about $450,000. The Gayoso hotel, one
of the oldest landmarks of Memphis.
was one of the buildings totally de-
stroyed and while the guests were all
rescued in safety some of them lost
valuable effects in the fire which ragged
iercely for over six hours. During the
PR ,ress of the fire in the Blumenthal
liquor plant Assistant Chief Ryan had
his leg broken by falling stone and
was carried away. Ex-Chief James E.
Cleary had his spine dislocated a little
later and will probably die as a result
of the injury. An unknown negro was
caught under the falling walls and
crushed to death.

Everything is under water, from 2 to

that for vast area it completely sub

poles along the line. In truth, portions
of the Navasota bottoms are even now
perfect sea, extending four or five
miles wide at certain points. I saw
hundreds of houses there totally sub
merged and as many more were swept
from their foundations and destroyed.
The planters of the bottoms are still
moving their help, and whatever is left
of their stock, to places where they can
be cared for. They are all nobly help

wherever they can; some seeking safety

All planters stated that the outside
world has no conception Of the floods, or

them through the flooded districts tc

possible, save some of their drowning

DETROIT, Mich. July 6.-The officers
of the United Society of Christian En-
deavor did not arrive in time to hold
the annual business meeting of that
corporation at the hour set, viz, 10 a.
H., and the meeting was late in con-
vening. The special train from Boston
was a victim Of temporary congestion
of railroad traffic, caused by the large
number of Christian Endeavor special
trains en- route to Detroit. The leaders
of the Christian Endeavor movement
were consequently late in arriving.
Skies, which gave promise of showers,
greeted the thousands Of Endeavor DEL
egates who focked into the city from
every direction, but for a July day, the
atmosphere was reasonably cool. The
earlier arrivals, who had travelled all
night, spent most of the morning seek
ing their temporary homes and getting
settled for the week. Street cars and
steamers carried thousands of young
strangers, who employed the prelim-
mary day of the convention in seeing
the points of interest in and about the
City of the Straits. The convention be-

Shaw arrived at 1890. At II o'clock
DR.. Clark called to order the annual
meeting of the United Society in the
Hotel Cadillac. DR.. Clark addressed
the meeting of the legal organization, in
part as follows:
THE past year Of Christian Endeavor
work has been one of remarkable pros
perity; year signally marked by the
favor of God.
Il recently made journey to the
West Indies which was full of encour-
agement. l found in the island of
Jamaica very deep and intelligent in
terest in the movement. In Cuba, too,
I found the beginnings Of Christian
Endeavor and a very hopeful outlook
for the future. In other lands Chris
tan EndeayOr seems to be obtaining
constantly a frmer foothold Russia,
which a year ago was the only country
without Christian Endeavor, has now
been invaded by the movement, and we
hear of our society almost within the
cars household.
Our efforts in behalf of universal
peace and international arbitration have
been great success. It has received
the hearty approval of many Of the
greatest men in Europe as we'll as
America.
The spirit of brotherhood, of ma.
tional and nter-denominational fellow
ship, of seeking after God, and not the
things that pertain to Office and station,
will, believe, characterize this 10th
annual convention, and I pray God
that His spirit may pervade every flu
