Coal Mines and Factories of
the Central Districts and
Around Liege.

Brussels April 15.-From end to enc
Belgium is under armed guard. On
the faithfulness of the army depends
the stability of the monarchy.
Adequate measures have been taken
to enable the soldiers to reinforce the
police at a moments notice at any
point required.
There has been thus far no question
of proclaiming martial law. Such a
step cannot be taken in Belgium with
out special legislative action.
There has been rioting at Poulseur
about ten miles south of Liege, where
the convent of the Little Sisters of the
Poor has been stoned.

decision of the labor leaders, general
strike has commenced in the coal mines,

coal mining hamlet ten miles from
Charleroi, and Bascoup.
Advices from Liege, city tifty-four
miles east Of Brussels, say that gen

mines of the Seraing district, five miles
southwest of Liege, and at the Keith
foundries at Sclessin.
Troops Start From Mons.
From Mons troops have started for
different points in the Borinage dis
trict, in the province Of Hainaut to
the south of Mons. About $4,000 men
are now on strike in the Mons district.
At Cuesmes. Il town in the province

work
A general strike has been declared in
most of the large boot and shoe fac

1t now develops that the first out
break of violence was coincident with
an attempt that was to be made on the
life of King Leopold at Biarritz. The
plot was frustrated by his return to
Brussels earlier than was anticipated.
The news Of Queen Marie Henriette's
condition has not had quoting effect

EXCLUSION OF CHINESE.
Senator McLaurin Advocates Exten.
sion of Present Law.

Washington, April 15.-The Chinese
exclusion bill was taken up by the
senate after the disposal of routine
business, and Mr.. McLaurin Is. c.
spoke in support Of an extension Of the
present law.
Mr.. McLaurn said it was inconceiv-
able that any honora BILE nation, least Of
all the United States, should surrender
its integrity by deliberately adopting
policies and enacting laws in violation
of its own sworn compact and treaty
with any other power and that, too,
during period of profound peace,
without any provoking cause from the
other nation.
The pending senate bill. he declared,
was calculated by its restrictive action
and inimicable spirit to kill our trade
with China. This was consideration
Of vital Importance to South Carolina,
with it's vast cotton production and the
growing shipments Of cotton goods to
China.

asked Senator McLaurin, "just as they
are beginning to prosper in manufac-
turing and commercial enterprises aft
er long years of trouble and privation.
to tear down and crush their new en-
terprises on the assumption that such
ruinous policy is necessary in order
to keep out the Chinese when, in point
of fact, it is not at all necessary and
the Chinese are being kept out by the
existing law"
Mr.. Foraker CO., followed in a speech
opposing certain features of the meas
ure.
Mr.. Foraker took up the various trea
ties, showing the development of eX-
clusion policy and the various rights
given and restrictions imposed. Reply.
ing to question from Mr.. Platt
Comm, Mr.. Foraker said that Ii Hung
Chang would have been excluded from
this country under the provisions of
the pending bill, and China could recip-
rocally exclude our missionaries, en-
gineers and students

Florence Nightingale's Real Name.
The fact is but little known that the
family name of Florence Nightingale
was not originally Nightingale, but
Shore. Her father was rich Sheffield
banker of the name of Shore and con-
nected with an old family which had
been in possession of land in the coun-
ties of Derby and York since the tif-
teenth century Mr.. Shore assumed the
name Of Nightingale long after the
birth of his children and because he in
herited the fortune and estates Of his
mothers uncle. There were but two
children in the family, both girls. The
eldest was named Parthenosse, be-
cause she was born in Athens. and this
name was supposed to indicate her ia
TIERS profound admiration for the Par
thenon. The younger, Florence, was
also named after the city of her birth.
