UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE
Must Come in Belgium or Outcome
Cannot Be ForetoId.

Brussels, April 15.-The government
has firmly declined to yield on !. the
question of revision, and, unless King
Leopold should override the govern
ment there seems to be nothing to pre-
vent the development of a serious sit
uatiOn.
Tomorrow, the Socialist members of
the Chamber will present their demand
for universal suffrage. This will in
evitably be defeated, and it is feared
that this defeat will lead to trouble,
particularly in the provinces.
The strike movement in Brussels and
its environs is of minor character,
but in the industrial districts it is, to-
day, more formidable than ever.
From Renaix, in Flanders, some dyna-
mite outrages have been reported, but
nowhere was any serious damage done.
Several arrests have been made in Brus-
sells and in the provinces. The executive
department in the international socialist
bureau has issued a manifesto appealing
to workers in all countries to support
them in their struggle against reaction.
They declare a general strike to be the
only legal weapon left to them they
claim that 100000 men are already out
and that this number will be doubled, to-
morrow, as protest against the attempt
of the government to terrorize the WORK.
ers. The Socialists ask material and
moral support and for means to assist
the poorer strikers.

lowe Republicans - Conf.
dence EXPRESSED.

Hampton, Ia, Sept. 26.--Judge b. +.
Birdsall, of Clarion, Ia, was nominated
for congress yesterday by the third
district Republican convention. The
nomination was made on the secono
ballot by vote of 88 to rs for @. X.
Ransier, of Buchanan. The third dis
trict at present is represented by the
speaker of the national house, David
b. Henderson, who recently declined q
denomination. The report Of the COM
mittee on resolutions was adopted by
the convention in part as follows:
"We, the representatives of the Re-
publicans of the third congressional
district of Iowa, heartily indorse the
platform Of principles adopted by the
late Republican state convention at
Des Moines. We deny. that the Ding
ley tariff breeds and shelters trusts.
We interpret the tariff plank in the
Des Moines platform of 1902 to be near
ly reiteration of and to mean no
more than the st. Louis plank Of 1896,
which recited: 'h
1--WE are not pledged to any partic-
ular schedules. The question of rates
Is practical question to be governed
by the conditions Of the times and OF
production. The ruling and uncom-
promising principle Is the protection
and development of American labor
and industry
The resolutions pay a high tribute to
Speaker Henderson and express regret
at his withdrawal.
