DEMOCRATIC LEGISLATORS
 ARE RIDING THEIR TIME
Waiting for Full Attendance to Act
 on County Commissioners Bill.

Hartford, Conn, April 1o.-Both branches of the legislature kept close to the calendar today after receiving such reports as committees had pre- pared. There was little of interest in either branch. With only six weeks left in which to transact business, both the democrats and republicans are manoeuvering for tactical position in readiness for a>otion on some e the big measures which are to come in. The bill providing for election of coun- ty commissioners by the people with the house amendment attached, lies on the senate table. It is understood the democrats will let it remain there until the party leaders in the house can give assurance of a full attend ance of democratic members which might be a. factor in securing reces- sion on the house amendment and pas sage of the senate bill. As the house amendment passed by 9. margin of but a single vote and as reconsideration was not voted down the democrats are confident of changing the present plan for choosing commissioners.
 The reluctance to hold Friday ses- sions is still strong. More than half the measures introduced have passed the committee stage but in the re- maining portion there are the bills which will require great deal of at tentiOn.

CompIete Absence of Fever---Pontifs Strength
 Begins to Return Also His CheerfuIness
ENCOURAGING STATEMENT BY HIS PHYSICIAN
Believes Medical Advice Followed the Recent Attack Will Leave Any II-Efecs Necessitate Any Change In Mode of Life-In Need of Period of Rest-Sisters of Pontif Rejoice at the Favorable Outlook

Rome April 10-The change for the better in the condition of Pope Plus K was absolutely certain today and the improvement is so marked tonight that if no complications intervene the speedy recovery of His Holiness seems practically assured.
 There was complete absence Of fever today and signs that the pope strength is beginning to return and the 're-appearance of cheerfulnesS in the patient are all indications that even the relapse of influenza which the pope suffered on April has been mastered.
 Sits UT in Bed.
 The pontiff was again able to hear mass this morning and to take com munion He sat up in bed while hear ing a report from the papa1 secretary of state. Cardinal Merry del Val
 His Holiness again granted long CT conversation than usual to his sis terS and niece, who although dressed entirely in mourning because of the recent death of an elder sister of the pope, showed unmistakable signs of relief at the apparent improvement in the pope's helth-
 Sisters Greatly Relieved.
 Now we breathe again" said one of the sisters. What we have suffer ed these last few days is terrible. When he is i'll we feel as though we are dying. When he is well we are in a seventh heaven. We live in his life"
 Has Robust Constitution.
 Professor AIarciliafava made the fol- lowing statement tonight to the As SOciated Press:
 "The pope is much better If there are no complications he will have en- tiFely recovered in a few days. The pope's constitution is robust and he has never vested his strength. The heart and other organs have done their duty and are performing their functions normally.
 No New Complications.
 The pontiff had entirely recovered from the original attack of influenza; even convalescence was over and per haps the relapse was due to the re- peated changes in the temperature these last days, during which the pope gave several audiences.
 *'Tlle present illness from which the pope is suffering is merely a recur- renee of the disease. No new con- plication has supervened and no alarm ing symptoms have been present.

NO HOPE OF AVERTiNG
 A STRIKE IN BELGIUM.
Fund Now at ss,oooooo and contribu-
 tions Steadily Pouring In.

Brussels, April 10.-Au the hopes that the general strike for manhood suffrage would be averted have van ished one by one. and it now seems certain that the most sweeping at tempt yet made in the worlds history to apply the methods of organized labor for purely political ends will be- gin Monday.
 The leaders in the movement dis play the utmost confidence. The strike fund now amounts to approximately $3,000, 900, and fresh contributions from home and abroad are pouring in hourly. The Belgian cigar workers of Boston, Olneyvi1le and Manchester, U. $. A, have sent 1000.
 The bulk of the conservative middle class population who up to the pres ent, because of the assurances of the government and clerical press that the strike was a bluff and a bogey, regarded it with unconcern, are now beginning to be badly scared and their fears are increased by forebodings of disorders and brigandage with which a certain section of the press is filled. Many Storekeepers as consequence have announced that they would close their establishments and place their Valuables in security. The rush to ob- tain stocks of provisions is increasing.
 The socialists, however, laugh at these terrors. They profess to believe that the measures they have taken are fully adequate to prevent serious trouble They urge prohibition of the sale of liquors and the closing of sa- looms and have themselves forbidden parades and meetings of their adher- ents.
 Ihe government, working in con- E8Actfon with the provincial and com muna1 authorities, is putting the f1n- ishing touches on it's measures to pre- serve order. but as yet hesitates to call out sections of the militia. not wishing to greatly exaggerate the i'm portance of the movement, and also because it fears a repetition of the acts of mutiny which occurred after the last elections.
