UNDERWOOD is ILL.
But Congress Continues Its Pursuit
of Tariff Question.

Washington, April 15.-Chairman
Underwood was ordered to bed to-
day by his physicians, who declared
that he had slight fever and is in
danger of a break down from his
hard work on the tariff bill. He
may be confined several days. The
illness didn't interfere with the
house caucus, which began its sec
ond week of consideration of the new
tariff.
The prospect was that no mater
ial changes proposed could get
enough support to be effective, not
excepting free raw wool against
which definite opposition has de-
veloped. Wheat and citrus fruits
were the particular targets for some
members from the milling and fruit
bearing states.

Washington, April 16.-The war
department today asked the state de-
nartment to decide how long the
limited States should continue TO
keep open house" on the Arizona
Mexican border, for the entertain
ment of Mexican federal refugees
who enter the United States to es-
cape capture by the rebel army.
AS a result it is probable the state
department will give instructions to
release the several hundred Mexl-
cans now being fed from the stores
Of the United States army maintain
ing the border patrol. Many OF
these refugees have been cared Tor
at Nogales, Ariz., ever since their
flight from Nogales, Mex, few

BELGIAN STRIKE
Socialist Attempt to Force Manhood
Suffrage on Country.
$50, 200 woRKMEN ARE OUT NOW

Was Expected-Work in the
Provinces Is Completely
Stopped.

Brussels, April 15.-The great
strike of workingmen in Belgium to
force the government to grant man
hood suffrage began quietly today,
and at night fall it was estimated
that 100000 men throughout the
country had quit work. This num-
Der is at least 100000 short OF the
Socialistic predictions, and the cleri-
calist press is beginning to cali the
movement "a pitiable fiasco."
Nevertheless the strike has shown
greater strength than was expected
by impartial observers and because
of the fact that the numbers in
creased as the day advanced 1t is
believed the strikers will be rein
forced by several thousand tomor-
row.
The strike thus far has been mark
ed by neither disturbances nor any
special inconvenience to the pub
lie. The gas, electric and street
cleaning services and the street cars
and railroads are in operation as
usual, but Brussels merchants say
trade is at a standstill.

One SCHOOL
BOOK A Term
Kansas Commission Has Novel Plan
20 Cheaper Texts.
PRESENT SYSTEM CUMBERSOME
All Books Needed in Grade Should
Be Bound I'm One Volume
Another Proposal to Issue
Pamphlets.

Topeka, April 15.-The state text
book commission has started an in
vestigation of two propositions to
be settled before the commission
begins the actual publication OF the
common schools books for the school
children OF the state.
At present each subject has Its
own book, and under ordinary cir
cumstances the publication OF the
state texts would follow the present
system. One suggestion is the print
ing and binding Of all the books used
in one school term into one volume.
The present system involves the
carrying by each child OF five TO
seven books. The proposal is 10
have the commission work out a
complete course of study for two
terms of each school year, and then
print single book for each term,
each book containing the work In
arithmetic, grammar. reading, writ
ing, history and other subjects Tor
that entire term. For the second
half of the year there would be an
other book of the same nature.
1t was suggested that single
book for an entire school year be
printed, but this would make the
book too large. 1t is estimated that
the saving on binding would enable
half-year book to be printed on
good paper and bound in heaVy
boards and buckram for little more
than dollar.
The other plan suggested Is to
bind the school books in cloth only
and get them out in pamphlet form
The use of board covers is expen'
siye. and 1t has been suggested thai
1.-The books could be made sufficiently
Istrong with cloth covers to last tnt
ordinary child at least two years
or two children in the same family
