Brussels, April 1.-THE great strik q
Of Workingmen in Belgium to force
the government to grant manhood suf-

nightfall it was estimated that 200,-
600 men throughout the country had
quit work This number is at least

Nevertheless the strike has shown
greater strength than was expected
by impartial observers and by the fact
that the numbers increased as the
day advanced, it is generally believed
that the strikers will be reinforced by
several thousand tomorrow.
Thus far the strike has been marked
by no disturbances or inconvenienccs
to the general public. The gas and
street cleaning service and the street
cars and railroads are in operation as
usual, but Brussels merchants say
trade is at a standstill. The city is

Walter Baker returned Saturday from

time of the flood. Mr. Bakers YER
sion Of the flood was about the same
as that given out by the. different
newspapers. He related some in
stances, however, of which the news
papers made no mention.
The Hagenbeck-W Wallace circus was
the heaviest loser. Mr. Baker visited
the circus headquarters, where he is
personally acquainted with a number
of the animal trainers. When the
waters reached the buildings occupied
by the elephants, they became frantic
with fright and began to demolish
their quarters. In order to prevent a
panic, the keepers attempted to shoot
the beasts, but only succeeded in
Wounding them. They fought their
way for two miles from the circus
grounds tearing down fences or any
other barrier that got in their way
and finally got mired in a lot of
wreckage and We're carried off in the
main current of the Wabash river.
young ones were all that was saved.
A number of the lions, tigers and
other members of the cat tribe were
shot for fear they would get away
and create havoc among the people.
Two highly priced polar Bears sur
vived the flood but died from the ex-
posure a few days after it had abated.
Some so pure white horses which We're
used for parade and ring purposes
stood in water that came almost to
their shoulders for two days and after
being rescued seemed to show no i'll
effects from their experience.
All people. in the central part of the
town are being kept under quaran-

count of the appearance of number

of themselves in getting the streets

OVER PROGRESS
OF COLLEGE
STATE BOARD MEMBER FAvORS
FLAT-RATE PLAN FOR UNI
VERStTY SUMMER SCHOOL.

S. ID. Largcnt, member of tho
state board of education and superin-
tendent of the city schools of Great
Falls, spent yesterday in Missoula in
annual trip Of Mr.. Largcnt and he ex-
pressed himself as pleased with the
advancement of and the good spirit
shown at the university.
When asked regarding the summer
school at the university, Superintend-
cnt Largent said that here was Of
fered an opportunity that the teachers
of the state could not afford to miss
He was pleased with the plans of the
summer session, as outlined by Presi-
dent Craighead and stated that every
teacher in Montana ought to be here
for the summer session as the work,
from all indications, was to be fully
as good as that offered in any institu-
tion in the country
In regard to inducing teachers and
others to attend from every section
of the state, Mr.. Largent expressed
himself emphatically in favor of the
plan that has been suggested where
by the railroad fare will be included
in the tuition fee with the exception of
flat rate of SIS to each teacher, no
matter from what point he may come
to the university. This will raise the
tuition fee IS but wbuld mean that
the fare and tuition of each teacher
would be the same. The teacher from
the eastern part of the state, where
the railroad fare might be $15> or $50,
could, under this plan, attend the
school as cheapy as one coming here
from Bonner, town seven miles dis
tant from Mssoula, where the fare
on the electric railway would be but a
few cents.
Il am in favor of a flat rate to
Mlssoula from all parts of the state"
said Mr.. Largent. I'm this way the
summer school will be placed within
the reach Of all teachers and others
who may care to attend but who may
be deferred from coming on account of
the high railroad fare. This rate should
be made by all means, and intend to

EFFORTS ARE MADE
TO LET CATTLE
ENTER FREE
CAUCUS DECIDES AGAINST PUT
TING BEEF ON THE FREE LIST
OF THE TARIFF.

Washington, April 14.--Persistent
efforts to put cattle and sheep on tho
free list; to cut the duty on swine,
and otherwise to alter the ways and
means committee tariff revision bill
We're defeated in the democratic eau
Gus of the house today.
On the senate side of congress, the
tariff revisionists were inactive.
The agricultural schedule was before
the house caucus all afternoon and
thre We're some lively speeches. Many
of the new members of the house aired
their views, but each time there was
test, the committee was ovcrWhelm-
ingly sustained.
Representative Logue of Pcnnsyl-
vania, a new member, precipitated the
biggest fight of the day With an
amendment to put cattle on the free
list. Cattle and sheep now are duti-
able at 10 per cent and swine at $3.50
a head.
Representative Baker of California,
Representative Russell of Missouri and
others urged against free cattle, do-
caring that it would destroy the cat
tie-raising industry in their states.
Representatives Kinl<ead Of New Jer-
sey and Curley of Massachusetts con-
tended free cattle would mean
broader field of supply for the inde-
pendent packers against the so-called
beef trust.
Representative Curlcy declared that
the United States might soon cease to
be an exporter of food. He said the
Argentine republic with a population
of only 100000 AS against 92,00O,000
in the United States, exported more
than five times as much beef and
meat products as the United States
and that the tariff protection in
America could only benefit the trusts.
What It Would Mean.
Representatives Garner of Texas.
member of the ways and means COM
mittee, said cattle last year raised a
tariff revenue of $1,23S,000; that the
rate had been so adjusted in this bill
that it would raise 100000 the first

PHYSICIANS REPORT AT NIGHT
INDICATES DANGER is PAST
FOR THE PRESENT.
'P0NT|FF HAS A DREAM
Imagines in His Sleep That Sister
Tells Him From Heaven That His
Work Is Not Finished, and That His.
Time Has Not Yet Come-Nephew
Arrives to Cheer Him Up.

Rome, April 14.-The pope has rail-
lied in a wonderful manner from the
serious attack from which he suffered
yesterday. He appeared to be on
the point of death last night, but the
physicians report tonight indicates
that the danger is past for the pres
ent
Dr. Amici paid a visit to the sick
room shortly before midnight AL
though the pope's temperature has in
creased slightly, he found the general
condition satisfactory. He adminis-
tered a heart stimulant and shortly
after the pope went to sleep.
Throughout the day, the tempera-
ture was normal, the pulse remained
at about IS and the respiration, 26.
This indicated a considerable. anchor
alton in the bronchial symptoms,
which was further shown by easier
breathing and freedom for long periods
from coughing.
In addition the pope was able to
take some nourishment and he showed
much interest in what was happening
about him. When Professor Mar
chiafava allowed the pontiff's nephew
to enter the room, there was an af-
fecting scene. The frail and aged
pontiff and the young and robust
priest embraced tenderly, the latter
being unable to restrain his emotion
at finding the pope SO changed phys
ically.
Professor Marchiafava repeated to-
night his assurances that if prudence
were exercised, the pope would rd-
cover. He declared that his exani-
nation of the chest showed that the
inflammation, which yesterday was
marked on the left side, had been
checked and was diminishing while
the bronchial sounds Were less
noticeable.
After his afternoon sleep, it was
observed that the, pontiff looked
bright and happy. Although he was
advised not to talk, he insisted on ex-
planning how he had just awakened
from a most wonderful dream.
He seemed, he said, to have re-
turned to his beloved Venice. Ap-
parently he was in his patriarchal
gondola on the Grand canal Every
thing was blazing with sunlight
when suddenly above st. Marks the
sky opened and he saw a vision Of
his dead sister, Rosa, who, descend
ing towards him, took his hand, say
ing:
THE moment has not yet come for
you to join me. Your work is not
yet finished.'
The sisters of the pope and his
niece are happy in having the pope's
nephew with them as he is most hope
full for the recovery of the pope and
keeps up their spirits.
Cardinal Kopp, archbishop of Bres-
1au, is expected to arrive soon. He
has the highest veneration for the
pope, and being deeply affected by
the reports of the pontiffs serious
condition, desires, even if he cannot
see him, to be near him in Rome.

but futile struggle.
Moschner then retraced his steps,
first covering up Norman's boCy with

Myrtle's body. Then, entering his bed
