AN[D BY TIE TROOPS
Rioters at Brussels Are Quieted
Ay the Display Of an Armed
g Force.
Igian Government Preparing
s Meet the Crisis Expected
: Next Week.
>
!: beral Faction in the Chamber
Of Deputies Desert the
Socialists.

Brussels, April 1.-THE rioters have
been temporarily awed by the overpow-
ering display of armed force. Up to
noon no further disturbances have oc-
Cured here The authorities have suf-
ficient soldiers to cope with the dis
turbances SO long as the troops remain
loyal The strike continues to spread
in the central coal districts. Elsewhere
the socialist leaders are trying to keep
the men at work until Monday or Tues
day, when they contemplate an impor-
tant movement.
Perhaps the most significant report
|is the open rupture in the chamber of
deputies between the socialists and lib
eral faction, heretofore associated with
the former with the object of forcing
the government to grant universal suf-
frage. This split notably strengthens
the governments hands in the present
crisis, as the coalition of the moderate
parties promises to last as long as the
incipient revolution continues.
The police, gendarmes and civil
guards, who are all regarded as thor
cugh1y trustworthy, are being utilized
SO far as possible in dealing with those
who take part in the demonstrations,
but not in riots. These demonstrators
are mostly composed of earnest social
ists, while the rioters are more closely
allied with the anarchists. Regarding
the troops, there is no doubt that they
a re leayened with socialism, MANY men
IN the ranks do not hesitate to expound
subversive doctrines and there is some
apprehension as to their loyalty when
the acute stage of the agitation is
reached, with the beginning of the gen.
eral strike next week. The government
has taken comprehensive measures not
to be taken by surprise and is firmly
resolved not to yield to the revolution-
ary movement, holding that in order to
deal properly with the questions OF the
revision of the constitution and univer-
sal suffrage it is essential that parlia-
.nent be able to deliberate uninfluenced
by the mob.
In consequence of the receipt of let
ter threatening to blow up with dyna-
mite the Faience works at LaLouviere,
unless work there is stopped, the man
ager has shut down the factory and or
dered the 1.200 employees, including 500
women, Immediately to leave the prem
ises.
A dispatch from Mons announces
that preparatory to a general strike at
the Borinage coal mines on April Ia the
men from the several pits have already
brought their tools to the surface.

Washington, April 12.-The state
nent is made in morning paper that
the post at Pekin will soon be vacant
and Conger is to be recalled. There
is evidently foundation for the report.
Information from high official is to
the effect that the president is not
particularly pleased with Conger and
is looking for a successor. From an
other high official source it is learned
that month ago when a similar ru-
NOR was afloat the president was
asked about the question of asking
for Conger's resignation and he said
he did not propose to make such a
request.

eloquent speeches which are so admir-
ed 10y his friends in Virginia and so
dreaded by his political opponents
through out the Ninth District.
He scored in unmeasured terms the
Republican party for the course
it is pursuing IN the Philippine
Islands, and denounced its "inhuman
policy of crime, torture and cxploita-
ton and said that 1.-The American peo-
pie VII see to it that no black star of

speech and when he resumed his seat
he was warmly congratulated by his
colleagues on the floor Of the House.

from the Ninth Virginia District has not
been of the smoothest sort and his own
constituents, who visit Washington. al
ways speak with pride of his aggres-
siVeness and bulldog fighting qualities.

here in Washington, tempered with a
great deal of adroitness in the manage

this is off his hands he will probably be
heard from frequently.
