Belgian Government submits IL Plan Sat.
isfactory to the Opposition.
BRUSSELS. July 5.-ln the chamber of
deputies NJ. Vandenperebom at the
opening of the session, reiterated the
governments strong desire to affect
conciliation and pacify the public mind.
He continued:
''The government considers there is
ground for entertaining tho 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 10 the withdrawal
of the government scheme. The coull-
try. he continued. hH: Seus achieved a
signal victory and is convinced that the
only solution of the existing party diff
ferences is IN appeal to ,lle country,
either through an early election, disso-
luton Or a referendum.
AT large meeting held in the Fallo-
mond the speakers eShorted the popu-
lace to continue the fight for universal
suffrage. A number of civic guards
entered with arms reversed. One of
them said:
"We have ten cartridges; too many
for seven minister's"

SITUATION VERY GRAVE.

Belgian Monarchy In Danger of Over-
throw Whatever In Done.
BRUSSELS, July 4.-The excitement
among politicians continues. though
further outbreaks are improbable until
the governments proposals are sub.
mitted to the chamber Tuesday, Wien,
if satisfactory, a permanent compro-
mise may be effected, 6e4erwise the
Socialists threaten excitement, even
revolution. The bills satisfy only the
Clerlcals ana there is strong feeling.
in which The Socialists join, that new
elections ought to be held before any
change is effected in the way of redis-
tribullon of votes or seats. II the gov
ernment does not then introduce a bill
providing for universal suffrage, the
working classes promise to precipitate
matters by a general strike throughout
the country. The government Is be-
tween the devil and the deep sea. If
they oppose universal suffrage they are
threatened with revolution which
may sweep away the monarchy On
the other hand, universal suffrage is
liable to result in the return of such
large Socialist and Repub blican majority
in the chamber that the monarchy will
be equally threatened.
