Revolt Feared.
NO DISORDERS

BRUSSELS, Belgium. April IA
Belgian workmen struck a mighty
blow for manhood suffrage today when
the national strike went into eect in
a large number of districts. In other
quarters the beginning of the strike
was postponed until tomorrow.
The district hardest hit is the min
ing region, where over 100000 men
are Idle today. II was declared that
by tomorrow night 100000 men will
have obeyed the call
The object OF the strike is to com
pei universal suffrage for men and TO
prevent the plural voting of rich men.
Although no violence was the slo-
gan adopted by the socialistic leaders
it was reported that the telegraph
wires leading into Brussels from sew
eral directions had been cut today by
the strikers
Fear has been expressed that the
suffrage strike may ultimately result
in a revolution and extensive military
precautions have been taken by the
government.

MEETINGS OPENED
At. BAPTIST CHURCH
Evangelist Williams Spoke on
Transforming Power of
the Gospel.

The Transforming Power Of the
Gospel was the subject of Evangelist
Luke P. Williams at the Baptist
church last Sunday morning.
''The gospel stands on its record
as the power to change things for the
better" he said. THE difference be-
tween the hovel that Is called home
in China and the real home in Am
erica is measured by the gospel Diff
ferent sections IN the same city in our
own land can always be identified by
their contentment and comfort, or
strife and misery, as communities
where the people are Influenced by
the gospel of Jesus Christ or not. The
same thing is true in the Individual
1t is not hard to tell gospel man.
His attitude towards the great ques-
tions of life, his stability and content
ment distinguish him from the selfish
man of the world and the abandoned
wretch of the street"
In spite of the inclement weather
there was a good attendance at both
morning and evening services. At the
meeting OF the brotherhood in the af-
ternoon the men who made the every
member canvass of the church the
Sunday before made their reports
The result Of their canvass was very
satisfactory.
The Evangelist's subject for the
meeting tonight will be Every One

CONDITION AT NOON.


ROME, April 14.-At l o'clock this
afternoon it was announced that the
condition of Pope Plus X had remain
ed stationary throughout the morning
and that hour showed no change.
Following the suggestion Of DR..
Marchiafava, all the cardinals in
Rome have written entreaties to the
Pope to follow the doctors orders so
that he might recover.
At neon the papal doctors and tho
cardinals of the Curia visited the Of
fee of Cardinal Merry del Val, papal
secretary of state, to receive formally
news of the Pope's condition.
They were informed that Drs. Mar
chiafava and AMIGA were satisfied
with the condition of the pontiff and
believed that he would eventually re-
gain his normal health unless he again
disobeyed the orders of the physicians
and overtaxed his strength.
In addition to the complicated i'll
mess which his attacked the Pope his
strength has been further taxed by a
disinclination to take nourishment.
The pontiff has no appetite and has
repeatedly told the doctors that even
the thought of eating is repugnant to
him.
- PrcIate Spits Blood.
Fear has developed that the Pope's
lungs are affected and there is con-
.cern lest pneumonia work havoc with
the aged prelate. This fear has arisen
from slight trace of blood in his ex-

(NationaI News Assooiation)


ROME, Italy, e p. m.)-With-
in the last hour the Pope has
suffered an alarming increase of
temperature. He has grown very
restless and shows signs of great
distress which has led the physi-
clans to fear that the tendencies
toward pneumonia are develop
ing.
Two additional beds were
placed in the antechamber of the
Pope's apartments for additional
night watchers.
Cold, heavy rain during the
day led the physicians to fear
unfavorable results upon the pa
tient. The chief cause for ankle
ty was that the raw air might
provoke a fatal coughing spell or
aggravate the symptoms of bron-
chitis and pneumonia. At noon
it was announced that the condi-
tion Of the Pope had remained
stationary throughout the morn
ing.
