100000 OUT IN
BELGIAN STRIKE
Fight for Man Suffrage Begins
in Mining Districts.
MANY INDUSTRIES TIED UP
Walkout in Some Districts Is Scarcely
NoticeabIe--2o,oo Are Idle in
Brussels, 10000 at
Mons.
MANY INDUSTRIES TIED UP

Brussels, April 15.-The great strike
of workingmen in Belgium to force the
government to grant manhood suf
frage began quietly. and it Is estima-
ted that 100000 men throughout the
country quit work. This number is at
least 100000 short of the Socialist pre-
dictions, and the Clericalist press is
beginning to call 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 increased as
the day advanced it is generally be-
lieved the strikers will be reinforced
by several thousand.
The strike thus far has been marked
by neither disturbance nor any special
inconvenience to the general public.
The gas, electric and street cleaning
services and the street cars and rail
roads are in operation as usual, but
Brussels merchants say trade is at a
standstii. The city Is full Of children
of the provincial strikers, who are be-
ing cared for by the families of Lib.
erals.
10000 Out in Brussels.
The only act Of sabotage occurred
In d suburb, where three big machines
in a leather factory were damaged
Brussels is not an industrial center
There are about $4,000 workmen here,
of whom less than 10000 are out.
The strike is complete in such places
as the mining districts. but is scarcely
discernible In some localities.
In Brussels itself the strike must be
looked for in order to be found. Prob
ably one-fourth of the workmen en-
gagged in the suburban factories did
not report for work. The Socialist
committee here estimated that 10000
men had struck in the capital.
Reports from the provinces tell Of
complete or nearly complete stoppage
of work at Liege, Charleroi, Mons, La
Louviere and smaller cities. At Mons
Louviere $4,000, most of them belong
ing to the metal, carriage building and
tobacco trades.
The comparatively small number OF
strikers at the great seaport Of Ant
werp is explained by the fact that the
steamship companies have been d.
verting so much business from this
port in anticipation OF trouble that
there Is little work to do.

WILSON HAS FAITH
IN TARIFF BILL
Sees No Business Depression
Following Its Passage.
FREE CATTLE IS DEFEATED
Anne ndment to Take OF Duty on Live
Stock Is Turned Down
BY the Democratic
Caucus.

Washington. April 15.-President
Wilson came out in open defense OF
the Underwood bill as it now stands.
At conference with newspaper men
he said he did not believe that bust
ness depression would follow the pas
sage of the measure.
Explaining his desire for free raw
sugar, the president said he thought
1t proper and fair to the consumer,
although the consumer would not get
immediate benefit from the sugar tar
If reduction. In the end, in the opin-
ion OF the president, the consumer
will be benefited immensely. Compe-
tition, he said is what the Democrats
are seeking.
Defeat Free Cattle.
An effort made in the Demo
cratic caucus to put live cattle and
sheep on the free list met decisive de-
feat. The free cattle amendment
went down under the first roll call.
1872 to 7S. No rail- call was asked on
the free sheep amendment.
This is the first defeat of the ad-
ministration forces to write into the
tariff bill some of the tariff views of
the president with respect to the
further extension OF the free list by
the addition OF food products.
The Underwood bill carries a duty
of ten per cent. ad valorem on cattle
and sheep. The duty was carried in
the bill to prevent the free introduc-
ton OF cattle and sheep from Mexico
and Canada and competition with the
American products.
Underwood Is lndisposed.
Although a temporary indisposition
held Underwood at his home, all as
saults on the bill were checked and
no alterations were made in the agri-
cultural schedule, which was under
consideration. Francis Burton Harri-
son of New York was in charge OF the
bill and defended it's provisions.
Hundreds of amendments were sub
mitted, most Of them seeking to place
on the free list various articles used
for food. All of the amendments were

posed in this bill are permitted to

His amendment was voted down.

POPE GROWS WEAK
DOCTORS ANXIOUS
Fever Abates and Temperature
Goes Below Normal.
HEART ACTION is sTEADIER
Fight Against Pneumonia Has Proved
Successful But Patient Ia Left In
a Depressed Condition--Ar-
teries Are Hardening.

Rome, April 15.--After day OF
alternately rising and falling temper
ature, some of the changes being
quite rapid, Pope Plus was reported
resting comfortably with his tenn
perature slightly below normal.
Coming as it did after a day OF
varying temperatures the official bull
letin issued stated that the pontif's
fever had left him and that his tenn
perature stood at SO, was received
with considerable apprehension. The
guards about the sick chamber were
further increased.and two extra beds
were set up in al adjoining chamber
for the night watchers.
Danger OF Pneumonia Past.
1t has been expected by those OF
the pope's household that were the
physicians successful in fighting of
pneumonia that the departure Of the
fever arising from this cause would
leave the patient In an extremely
weak and depressed state. This has
proved true and owing to the pontir's
extreme age there Is no Disgusting
the fact that much anxiety Is pervad-
ing the Vatican over the outcome.
Although the pope's heart appears
no weaker under the steady admins
tration of stimulants and the affec-
ton of the kidneys is apparently
thing of the past. the frequently re-
curing periods of fever followed by
the consequent depression to which
is added the new ramification Of hard
ening of the arteries which has APP
peared again the physicians admit
that the pope will pass the crisis to-
day.
Pope's Sister Is Exhausted.
When the pope's sister, Anna, left
the Vatican after having spent tho
night In her brothers household, she
was sobbing and looked tired and
haggard She stated that the pope
had slept very little the catarrhal af-
lection having prevented repose.
Although both papal physicians
made hopeful statements regarding
the condition OF their patient. activ-
tiles at tse Vatican indicated that the
church officials regarded the situation
as very grave
