Belgian Ministry Refuses to Yield
to Demand for Revision.

Brussels, April 1.-THE Government to-
day firmly declined to yield on the question
Of suffrage revision. and unless King Leo
pold should override the Ministry. which is
possible. there seems to be nothing to pre-
vent the development Of serious disorder
Tomorrow the Socialist members Of the
Chamber will present their demand for uni
versal suffrage. This will inevitably be de-
feated. and it is feared that this defeat will
lead to trouble. particularly in the Prov
.inces.
The authorities have taken extraordinary
measures to avert disorders, and the whole
quarter. comprising the Chamber Of Depu-
ties, the palace and the Ministries is kept
in complete isolation from the rest Of the
city by cordons of the City Guard.
A torrential storm, which began at
o'clock this evening. has cleared the streets.
The strike in Brussels and its envirors
is of minor character, but in tho indus
trial districts it is to-day more formidable
than ever.
The appeal Of the Socialist leaders for q
demonstration at the Chamber Of Deputies
Tomorrow has created some uneasiness.
Many shopkeepers- have barricaded their
places Of business.
