Copyrighted Students of international politics have ar- " rived at the conclusion that serious trouble is in store for Belgium in connection with the question of universal suffrage, the agi tation of which is now going rn. It is very grave and important and may even lead to revolution before long. Belgian workmen have solemnly declared in conference as sembled that there shall be a general strike on September 1 unless universal suffrage .shall have been conceded by that time. The scheme savors of insanity, but the workmen seem to be in earnest, believing it would coerce the bourgeoisie into a con cession of sweeping reforms. The move ment is the more dangerous, says onr Brus sels correspondent, in that there is not the slightest love of Fatherland among the Bel gian workmen, wbo wonld not budge an inch from their position even to save their country from, the intervention of foreign powers. A LACK OF PATBIOTISM. They are aware that whereas Belgium has remained politically unchanged since 1SS0, all other States have been moving for ward. They see that universal suffrage practically prevails in France and Germany, and that in those countries men of all classes are liable to military service, but in Bel gium the burden of military service is borne by the masses, and the workmen seem to be v- as far removed from political privileges as ' tLe Bussian peasants. The result is that there is co devotion to the Belgian flag, and no patriotism amoni; the working classes. The governing classes are beginning to realize this, and at any moment fear may drive them to repressive action, which must involve much shedding of blood. There is some talk of the present clerical Government asking Parliament to pass a reform bill, but such ameasure would certainly be a sham, and an attempt to pass it would probably still further embitter the political strite. TEOUBLE IN AJTOTIIEB LOCALITY. The great railway strike in Wales has re sulted, as has been predicted, in the victory of the men. The struggle between the dock owners and their laborers, which had been deferred pending the result of the railway dispute, has now commenced and may be long and bitter. Bin Tillett, the able young workman who was John Burns' chief lieutenant dur ing the famous fight in London, is organiz ing the Welshmen, and Sir William Lewis, agent to the Marquis of Butte, heads the group of stubborn capitalists who declare that they will spend millions to secure the defeat of men who have dared to de.'y and threaten them. Lewis is a pig-headed man of tbe stamD of Norwood, chairman of the London Dock Committee, but with more brains. Lord Butte, wbo owns docks, collieries and land in South Wales worth many millions, has left the conduct of the struggle to Lewis, to whom he has given carte blanche. A EELIGIOUS FEATURE. Tears ago the Marquis joined the Roman Catholic Church, of which.hehas since been a most devout son. As Cardinal Manning is taking a keen interest in the Welsh strug gle, and is anxious to have the points in dispute submitted to arbitration, the relig ious belief of the Marquis one word from whom would stop the strike is an im portant factor. While this is being cabled, news comes from Cardiff to the effect that Sir William Lewis has promised work Mondavto several hundred men whom he locked out yester day. He has evidently beard from his noble master, but whether his complaisance to-day presages complete surrender to the men will not be made clear until next week. By a curious coincidence, the London dockers will celebrate to-morrow the first anniversary ot the memorable triumph of organized, unskilled labor over capital. Nearly all tbe London trades will take part in the demonstration, and tbe various pro cessions will probably aggregate 100,000 men. PBOGBESS OF SOCIALISM. The Socialists and their allies among the extreme radical section have captured the London Trades Council, whose members .. - represent some 80.000 workmen. The coun- ff - cil met Thursday evening to select delegates to the Trades Union Congress and alter a long and excited struggle between the moderates and extremists a resolution was passed by 62 votes to 30 instructing the del egates to vote at the Liverpool Congress for the legal eight hours a day. The result is full of significance, attesting as it undeniably does, the progress made witnin a few months by the Socialistic propaganda, of -which one of the chief points' is an eight-hour working day legalized by statute. The action of the Trades' Union Congress upon this matter is still uncertain. Should it follow the example of the London Coun cil, Xiberal leaders like John Morley and Charles Bradlaugh who have from the first rebemently opposed the eight-hour, a day will be placed in an awkward position. FESTIVAL OF CO-OPEBATION. , A, remarkable scene has been witnessed to-day at Crystal Palace, where 40,000 people, mostly working men and women, have taken part in the third national co operative festival. The programme in cluded a superb flower show, the majority of exhibits coming from workmen's gardens, an exhibition of some industries embracing wonderful specimens of the skill of work men in their own trades, amateur work and work of women and children, an exhibition of co-operative productions from workshops in which the workers participate in the profits, and singing by a choir of 5,000 voices, all drawn from the working classes. It is claimed that no other country in the world could show a gathering like this, and anti-Socialists point to it as proof of the ability of the people to work oat their own salvation without the aid of tbe State.. A RELIGIOUS SENSATION. CAUSED BY THE WISH TO BURY NEWMAN AT WESTMINSTER. A Special Act of Parliament Wonld be Nee essaryto Authorize tbe Ceremony Too Lnlp in tbe Scanlon for Sch n Move Now. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE CO IIP ANT. 1 London, August 16. An extraordinary proposal emanating trom certain influential people has worked a good deal of feeling not confined to religious circles throughout the whole country. The proposal is nothing less than that the remains of the late Car dinal Newman be buried in Westminster Abbey, and to carry it into effect the pass ing of a special act of Parliament would be required. In accordance with the laws which govern the Roman Catholic Church, the dead Cardinal's remains can be buried only with the rites of that service, so that for the time being the Abbey would be turned into a Eoman Catholic place of wor sh iD- There are certain places in which services in accordance with the customs of the Boman and Protestant forms of worship may be held in tbe same building, but under no- circumstances whatever would it be possible to allow a Boman Catholic priest to conduct a service in Westminster Abbey. Not even the late Dean Stanley, who was remarkable for the liberality of his views, would have been permitted to pro pose anything of tbe sort The idea ot passing a special act of Par liament at this late period of the session is considered highly ridiculous, but it is never theless seriously urged by many of the ad mirers of the dead man. So strongly does the feeling of affection run that it has been openly stated that if the religious difficulty conld only be got over, the idea would find universal approval. T1KT1 TJP THE ESTATE. Tbe Doko of Manchester Rather Particular About His Will. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPACT. London, August 16. The will of the late Duke of Manchester, which has just been proved, does not give much latitude either to the heir to the estate or to the widow. The present Duke, who is better known by his former title of Lord Mande ville, is bequeathed a third share of the estate for life, so long as he shall not become a bankrupt or seek to anticipate the pay ment of his portion. This protects Lord Mandeville against creditors and money lenders during the rest ot his life. The present Duchess of Manchester, who was formerly Mus Consuella Yzuaga, of Bj vena wood, La., is not mentioned at. all in the will. Tne widowed Duchess, who will for the future be known as the "Dowager Duchess," is bequeathed a share of the property for life, but "only as long as she remains mv widow," addsthedocumenu This is regarded as a cruel provision, for it is a well-known fact that the Dowager Duchess and the Mar quis of Hartington are very much attached to each other, and a marriage has already been talked of between tbem. The Duke's son, William Angus Drogo, who now suc ceeds to the title of Lord Mandeville, is a boy of 13 who was formerly known as Lord Montague of Kinbolton. KICKING OH FUNERAL EXPENSES. The Radical Members of Parliament Make Another Attack on Royalty. fBT CABLE TO THE DISrATCH. J London, August 16 Kaiser Wilhelm having promised to visit Osborne every year, Queen Victoria has been compelled to en large the accommodation there, for which, the place being her personal property, she will nave to pay out of her own pocket. A fine banqueting hall, now being built, will have cost 20,000 by the time it is fitted and furnished. It is many years since 'he Queen has dipped so deeply into the privy purse for such a purpose, the taxpayers "having generally been called upon, upon one pre tense or another, to find the money. But the House of Commons yearly be comes more radical and by consequence less subservient to royal demands. Only this week certain members dared to object to votingJElSO, the costof burying the Qneen's aunt, the late Duchess of Cambridge, nd Mr. Conybeare, the beloved representative of the humble Cornish miners, had so little sense of shame as tp declare that 10 should be sufficitnt to burv anybody. The Tories literally howled with indignation, and the calmness and firmness of the Chairman alone prevented a free fight in the sacred House of Commons. MICHAEL DAvTTTS PLAN To Relieve the Distress Caused by the Cruel Potato Blight. BY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY. London, August 16. Michael Davitt writes to the papers suggesting that some thing shall be done quickly toward replac ing the blighted potato crop by other vege tables between now and March. He says that eatable nourishing roots, snch "as broc coli cabbages, could be planted and made to produce the necessary nourishment by the spring of 189L He advises a consultation between the priests, Protestant ministers and others, and urges that help may be ob tained by building railways to meet the magnitude of the threatened calamity. He further says that whatever is done should not be ot the ordinary and demoral izing relief order, such as was associated with the last period of distress. , KING OF HOLLAND ILL. Fears Expressed That He Will Not Recover From the Attack. TBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.1 London, August 16. There is reason to believe that the King of Holland is in a dangerous condition of health. The Dutch newspapers are not permitted to discuss the matter, but it is known that the King suffers from a combination of disorders whinh his constitution, enteebled by age and past ex cesses, cannot shake off. His young wife, Queen Emma, is almost worn out by the long nursing of a peculiarly fractious and ungrateful patient, but she re fuses to leave her husband. HAIL SIX INCHES DEEP. Tbe Vineynrds In Lower Austria Kulaed by a Furions Storm. fBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.! Vienna, August 16. Districts in lower Austria and Southern Moravia, the most important in the Empire, were visited to day by a terrific hailstorm, which totallv ruined" the vineyards. The hailstones were of unusual size and lay six inche deep on tbe ground. Tlie dis tress in the country is great, j THE 'CZAR IS ANGRY BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF HIS PLANS IN BULGARIA. The Situation Is Ripe for Russian Occupa tion et Armenia. However The Visit of the Knisei Political Matters Certain to be Discussed. IBT CABLZ TO TOT mgPATCH.1 London, August 16. The hea'th of the Bussian Empress is said to be so unsatis factory that the Czar would gladly have canceled the invitation to the Kaiserhad he not been restrained by motives of state policy. Meanwhile the Marine Palace in the Crimea is being prepared for the im perial family, who will start South as soon as the German Emperor's visit has been concluded. The two monarchs will meet to morrow, and the tame delights of Osborne will be exchanged for a week of military reviewing and maneuvering. As Chancellor Caprivi accompanies the Kaiser and M. De Giers will be in the Czar's suite, it is evi dent that the Emperors mean to talk poli tics as well as inspect troops. The Czar will not be found in good humor, for the Kaiser's arrival coincides with the receipt ol news from Bulgaria ne- culiarly offensive and irritating to the great autocrat. It is a Bussian contention, to be found alike in newspapers and diplotnatio notes, that tbe Bulgarians are disgusted with Prince vFerdinand and yearn for an opportunity of getting rid ot him. But during the last few days the people have been celebrating the anniversary of Ferdi nand's accession with remarkable enthus iasm. The Prince himself has been the re cipient of many popular ovations, and has nude patriotic speeches worthy of a born Bulgarian. If the people really detest the Prince they manage to bide their feelings very cleverly. The truth is, Bussian agents have utterly failed to stir up strife in the Balkans, and diplomatic intrigues have been equally futile at Constantinople. The Czar has a more promising field in Armenia, and he may be permitted to enter it. Turkish misgovernment and tyranny stand confessed before the world, and the oppressed Christians are crying aloud to Russia for deliverance. It would be a good thing for the triple alliance it the Czar's at tention could be turned for a while trom the Balkans to Armenia, and there is not ons power in Europe that would venture more than a mild remonstrance should Bussian troops be moved into the Province. If, as is not improbable, the Kaiser should give the Czar a hit to this effect autumn will wit ness stirring events in Asia Minor. Bussia has a mobile force of a hundred thousand soldiers of all arms along the frontier, while the Turkish troops are scat tered, disorganized, unpaid and mutinous.

What may be termed the English method of observing'Snnday is rapidly gaining ground on the continent, and especially in this city, so far as abstain ing from labor is concerned. In all the more fashionable parts of the gay city the majority of the shops are now closed on the first day of the week; tbe railway companies hare lately agreed not to reckon Sundays in charging for tbe rehousing of goods, and after September 1 the posloffice will close at 6 in the afternoon, instead oi 8, both even ing letter deliveries being abolished. The inauguration bt the 'new order of things will work a decided change in the domestic arrangements of many Parisians, and give needed relief to a large class of weary toilers. FALSIFYING THE LOB BOOK. , A Coarse Emend Acnlnst the Record BrcnklnK Stenmrr Teutonic. TBT DUNLAP'S CABLE COMPANY.! Qtjeenstown, August 16. The official record shows that the Inman Line steamer the City of New York passed Roche's Point on Thursday, August 7, at exactly 1:30 P. M., Greenwich time, and that the White Star steamer Teutonic passed Boche's Point on the same afternoon at precisely 1:47, also Greenwich time. The official abstract of the logs published bv both companies show that tbe City of New York passed Boche's Point at 150 P. M., and the Teutonic at 2:15 P. at. Thus the log of the City of New York agrees ex actly with the official record, while the log of the Teutonic mates out 'that the ship left 23 minntes later than she really did.

In spite of the repre sentations made at tbe Vatican, it is not probable that any Irish bishops will be at present raised to the Cirdinalate. It is understood that the vacancy made in the sicred college by the death of Cardinal Newman will probably be filled by the selection of some distinguished German scholar and prelate. His Holiness, the Pope, has expressed himself as greatly displeased at the attacks made in tbe English House ol Commons on the mission ot Sir Linton Simmons to the Eternal City, and is also indignant at the attitude ot the Maltese press toward the Bishop of Malta.

P PITTSBURG, STXNDAY, FIGHT TO THE DEATH Between Senator Quay and the Rabid Force Bill AdTocates. A KNOCK-DOWN FOE THE LOTTERY. The Measure to Destroy It Passes the House Without Division. RIVERS AHD HARBORS PROVE WINNERS. Edmonds Bays That the Treasury Will be $50,000,000 Short Jane 30. Quay called up his now famous resolution in the Senate yesterday, but Republican objections prevented a vote. A lively time is expected in the next few days. The House yesterday passed the anti-lottery bill and the Senate the river and harbor measure. During the debate on the latter Edmunds said the Treasury would soon be 5p,000,000 short. y i WHOM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT. 1 Washington, August 16. If anybody was in doubt before in regard to the ear nestness of Senator Quay in pressing his resolution looking to a vote on the tariff bill within a fortnight, and tbe cessation of consideration of all other legislation except ing appropriations bills, and the forestry and lottery bills, they cannot doubt aftar to-day. The Senator asked leave this after noon to reintroduce his resolution. Objection was made by Senator Edmunds. The resolution will go overtill Monday. It will be brought up again then, according to present intentions, and under the rule, will go over one day. The vote will be taken, almost beyond a doubt, on Tuesday. A DETEEMINED INDIVIDUAL. Senator Quay is determined to press the matter to an issue, and discover if the im becile rnies supported by Edmunds and others who have dominated the Senate for years, will continue in vogue or whether a ray of common sense will momentarily light up the somber precincts of the Senate Chamber. If the majority refuse to accept Senator Quay's resolution of the snarl in which the Bepublicans find themselves en tangled through the rule of the antique, and the tariff bill and other legislation tail, on account of it, the disaster will not be the fault of the Pennsylvania tactician. The situation is intense and dramatic, and the outcome is awaited here with more in terest than has attached to any, other meas ure of the session. The stories ol Beed's op position, and of the bitterness against Qnay of the advocates of the elections bill, are the most unmitigated bosh. Nearly every advocate of that measure recognizes the impossibility of passing it at this sessioD, and the antagonism of the Quay resolution in the Senate springs from no en thusiasm for the elections bill,but from sheer jealousy of Quay, who Vbey think should be snubbed for his assurance in offering a reasonable and sensible way out of a distress ing dilemma.

Should be be victorious the tariff and other impera tive bills will be passed within a lew weeks Should he be defeated, legislation outside of the appropriation bills will be ended for the session, and tho fossils of the Senate will be responsible, while the Pennsylvania Senator will be able to point clearly to what might have been. Lightnkb. THROUGH THE SENATE. THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL PASSES WITHOUT TROUBLE. It Will Now Go to a Conference Committee Edrannrts Asserts That tbe Treasury Will be S50.O00.000 Short Jnno 30, 1S91 A Reply From Frye. Washington, August 15. The river and harbor bill was debated to a finish to day. In the course of a discussion on an amendment offered by Mr. Bite as to an improvement in Tennessee Mr. Edmunds expressed the idea that an appropriation in bulk of $13,000,000 (half of the amount car ried in the bill) would, with the $5,000,000 unexpended out ot the river and harbor bill of 1888, be amply sufficient for all really national works of internal improvement He expected that it wonld turn out that on the 30th nf June, 1891, the Treasury would be ?50,000,600 short, even if the duty were not taken off sugar. In that state of things he was auite unwilling to bear his one-eighty-fourth part of the responsibility of tending to the President a river and harbor bill ap propriating ?26,000,000 when there was al ready $5,000,000 unexpended but of the bill of 1888. He had intended to submit a proposition such as he suggested, but he was convinced that it would beonly wear ing the patience of the Senate withont any good effect Mr. Frye (in charge of the bill), replied to Mr. Edmunds and gave some tacts and figures to prove the immense advantage to the commerce of the country which had fol lowed the deepening ot rivers and harbors. The army engineers in charge of the several works had reported that $16,565,000 ought to be appropriated this year lor rivers and harbors. The chief engineer has reduced that estimate to $38,532,000 and to that sum was to be added $8,346,000 estimated for by the Mississippi and Missouri river commis sions. Tbe pending bill covered two years; and, if it did carry $26,000,000, that" was not over one-tbird of the chief engineer's estimates, and not over one-fourth of that of the local engineers. In view of the commerce of the country; in view of the onmmerce of the great lakes; in view of the increase in the size of vessels and of the ne cessity of an increased depth of water he asked whether $13,000,000 a year was an ex travagant expenditure lor 364 rivers and harbors. The bill was then reported to the Senate. All the important amendments adopted by the committee of the whole were agreed to and the bill was passed. A conference was asked and Messrs. Frye, Dolph and Bansom were appointed conferees on the part of the Senate. Oliver nt the Capital. Washington, August 16. Harry W.

THE A Louisiana Member Denounces tbe Octopns In Strom Terms, and Chnrsea it to Reconstruction An Emphatic Voice From North Dakota. Washington, August 16. The anti lottery bill was taken up in the House to-day. Mr. Wilkinson, of Louisiana, in supporting the measure, admitted the pollu tion which the Louisiana lottery had wrought upon his State, but attributed the birth of that pollution to the days of recon struction. "The people of Louisiana looked with gladness to tbe time when lotteries would be prohibited in that State, but the revenues to the State had been too great to be resisted without a struggle. When the Louisiana Legislature met the very elements themselves conspired to give the Louisiana lottery a chatter. The floods had borne down from North and West. The lottery company could afford to pay for a new charter tar better than the State of Louisi ana could afford to accept it The price had not been accepted and he thanked God for it All sense of honor and shame in his State was not dead. He had been asked how the lottery com pany had secured two-thirds of the Legis lature in favor of submitting tbe question to a Legislature to be held tno years hence. Every solitary Bcpnblican member had voted in favor of that proposition. There had been other members wbo had thought it their duty to submit the matter to the people. That some members of the Legis lature had been bought and sold, he had not the shadow of a doubt, but he believed that he conld count those members on the fingers of one hand. He was as confident as he was that he stood here that the lottery scheme would be overwhelmingly defeated, and that this blot upon the State of Loui siana would be wiped off the statute books. Mr. Evans, of Tennessee, advocating the bill, dropped into statistics and stated that the chance of a ticket holder in the Louisiana lottery to draw tbe capital prize wus 1 in 67,005. Mr. Hansbrougb, of North Dakota, favored the bill, and, in reference to the recent attempt to establish a lottery in that State, thanked God that his people had not yet reached that condition of pov erty that they were willing to sell their honor and manhood. The bill was then passed without division. STOPPED A WATER FAMINE. Prompt Action of Philadelphia Agnlnat the Schuylkill Nnvlgatloa Company. tSFECtAL TELEQUAM TO TUB DISPATCH.

The situa tion of the strike here to-night is apparent ly the same as yesterday, except tbat the road is losing time on tbe passenger trains. The Knights are jubilant The greatest excitement resigns among the strikers and the public generally over a fracas between the Pinkertons and a crowd of people. A freight train was run down the grade from West Albany about 7 o'clock. Tbe car had tvo Pinkertons on it, and as they got down to the Van Woert street crossing a small boy fired a stone striking one of the guards. Instantly the fellow brought his rifle to his shoulder and fired. The ball missed the boy, bnt struck a man named John MoCarthy, who was in his own yard, in the leg. Instantly the other Pinkertons who lined the track opened fire on the in offensive crowd near the station. THOUSANDS ON THE SPOT. As if by magic the place suddenly swarmed with strikers hut almost as quickly a squad of blue-coated policemen came upon a run. The crowd was kept back with difficulty. Chief of Police Willard ordered the arrest of five Pinkerton men, Bobert Taylor, Thomas O'Connor, Edward Kenny, Charles Parkhnrst and Joseph Lewis.

Buffalo, N. Y., August 16. To say that the local striking Knights o' Labor are jubilant would be to put it mildly. They are overjoyed at the turn affairs have taken, and seem more confident of success than ever. They held an important meeting this afternoon for the purpose of discussing the situation. Major Horner, of the Edecutive Commit tee, says: "Buffalo is considered the key to the situation and we will do our best to hold it J made one prediction and that materialized, so I will make another: Inside of five days you will see steps taken by the railroad company looking toward arbitra tion; yon mark my words." The live stock shipments from this point, despite the assistance given by the West Shore, Lackawanna and Erie are at least a Hreek behind. It was learned to-night that the switch men on the Central and West Shore peti tioned for Chicago wages before the strike in the Eist; they asked that an answer be returned to their petition on or before Monday, Arighst 18. No concession has been received. "Therefore," siys one of the labor agitators now in town, looking on and encouraging tbe strike, "tbe switchmen were ready to strike" next Monday anyway if this had not been precipitated. As it is now the switchmen declare that their men mnst be taken back and the wages of all raised, too." . The police are all sleeping at the station houses to-night, ready for a cill to quell a disturbance at any moment TJp to a late hour everything was quiet. WHAT POWDERLY SAYS.

Deacon Wood, of Talmage's Brooklyn Tabernacle, is a defendant in a lawsuit brought in the Supreme Court which will probably afford 'some fun when it comes to trial. He is sued for $300 dam ages by J. Schwartz & Co. for failure to fulfill the conditions of a contract for the manulacture of 50 busts of Talmage in terra cotta at 86 each. It was suggested to Dr. Talmage last spring tbat a bust ot him self would sell like wild fire after the re markable experiences of the learned doctor in Palestine, Mars Hill in Athens, and other places in his trip abroad last summer. Tal mage thought so, too, and a contract was made with Schwartz & Co. The firm's sculptor visited Talmage, and tbe preacher gave him a sitting. The sculptor made a clay model, and counsel for Schwartz & Co. declare that Talmage saw the model and ex pressed his hearty approval of it Later on the trustees of the Tabernacle decided tbat the bust was not a good like ness. It made Talmage's mouth too large, they declared; and furthermore it did not look half so majestic as Talmage does in the pulpit. The busts had been finished, how ever, in April, but Deacon Wood refused to take them off Schwartz & Co.'s hands. WBECKED JOB B0BBEBY.

He Hay Have Been Drovrned and Burled as a Panper. rSPZCIAL TZLZORAM TO THX DISPATCH; 1 Haeeisbueo, August 16. The mystery of the disappearance of Warren Jackson, colored, who was the repository of many of Senator Quay's politieal secrets, remains to be cleared up. Jackson was last seen in this city about five weeks ago. A week be fore that time be exhibited evidences of having been on a protracted debauch and a colored friend employed at tbe Pennsylvania Bailroad station here had him cared for at his house, with the understanding that as soon as he had sufficiently recovered from the results of his spree, Jackson wonld re turn to Washington, where Senator Quay had secured a position for him in the Treas ury Department Three days subsequently the body, of, a supposed Italian was found in the Walnut street lock in the Pennsylvania canal. The fact that the man found had on a blue suit and a white necktie, such as Jackson wore, has led to the belief among many of his Harrisburg friends that he was the drowned man fished out of the IocJc. Jackson's color was not any darker than that of most Ital ians, and this circumstance is considered in the light of additional evidence that he was the drowned man hurried to the almshouse for burial.
