BRJ SSELS. June 4.-Beleium IA in
state OF riot on account Of elections
and rioting throughout the country
has taken on a revolutionary charac-
ter. Many persons have been killed
or wounded in various cities. and a
large number OF reserves have been
called out. Every hour brings fresh
news OF the laboring class against the
governmental victories.
The national disorders generally
generally are attributed TO the acute
disappointment OF the laboring class
over the pronounced victory OF the
Clericals in the recent elections. The
Socialists have allied themselves
with the Liberals on the public school
question. In opposition to the govern.
ment policy. hoping thereby TO win a
majority in the chamber. Their fail.

over the country.

WASHINGTON.

A bill to abolish the U. S. Commerce
Court has been favorably reported to
the House by the interstate commerce
committee.
The 100000 appropriation for the
completion of the Denver postoffice
that passed the Senate will not pass
the House, it is reported.
The bill by Representative Hughes
of New Jersey, virtually taxing out of
existence the phosphorus match indus
try in the United States, was passed
by the House after heated debate.
The House interstate and foreign
commerce committee reported favor
ably bill to amend the law giving
the Interstate Commerce Commission
authority over express companies. Pro-
vision would be made for rate zones,
the charges varying according to the
distance the package was carried from
the point of origin.
The Senate of the United States will
run a lottery to determine the length
of tenure of office of the new senators
from Arizona and New Mexico. There
will be two five-year terms, one three
year term, and one one-year term. The
new members will draw from a box
squares of paper on which appears the
length of the term they are to serve.
President Taft will send to Congress
soon what he regards as one of the
most important messages he has writ
ten this year. He will recommend leg
islation designed to save millions of
dollars each year, consolidate several
general bureaus and generally make
the machinery of the government con,
form more nearly with the plans
drawn by the economy and efficiency
commission appointed in June, 1910. 1t
will be Mr. Taft's second economy
message during the present year, but
in the one he wrote in January he
made no recommendations as to legis.
lation. Practically every department
of the government is concerned in the
proposed reforms. Reforms indicated
as feasible in the Presidents January
message, he said, would probably save
the people more than $2,000,000 an
nually but 1t is said that other
changes worked out since then would
