What Caused the Trouble.
The bill of M. Van den Peereboom seeks
to perpetuate the clerical domination of
tional representation in districts eleeting
more than three members. The Liberals
and Socialists realize that It's effect would
be TO maintain the Catholic representa-
ton in the smaller constituencies, and
practically to exclude the Liberals and
Socialists from the larger districts.
A new Beernaert ministry is predicted
as the outcome of the agitation. In any
event the crisis Is one of the most serious
that has occurred in Belgian history
The Liberals being in hopeless minor
itv in Parliament, abandoned the idea of
lighting the bill by parliamentary meth
ods. and started campaign OF obstruc-
ton.
To-day the city wore a completely revo-
futionary aspect Tram cars We're over

mauder of the civic guard asked to be sup
plied with fifteen thousand cartridges. The
street lamps were smashed; The rioters
