Chamberlain Not to Rstn.
The repeated rumors of Joseph Chamber
lain's resignation of tha office of colonial
secretary which recurred after the publl
catlti of his signed denial may be utterly
disregarded. They rise out of eerlous dif
ferences existing between himself and the
chancellor of the exchequer over the West
Indies and other colonial matters requiring
treasury co-operation which have been fre
quently mentioned In these dispatches and
which appear to be no more acute than
they have been for months.

ON THE VERGE OF A REVOLT
Belgium faces Political Crisis as Result of
Labor Troubles.
GENERAL STRIKE TO BE DECLARED
Socialist Farce Oovernmeat to Issne
on Electoral Law, Modlflcatloa of
Which Means Revision of
the (anstltntlon.
BRUSSELS, April 12. This exciting week
ends with the lull before the storm. The
coming week hss already been dubbed re
vision week, and it promises to witness
Important events. A general strike has
beeen proclaimed for Mondsy and- Wednes
day a political crisis will be reached by the
opening In the Chamber of Deputies of the
discussion of the question of the revision
of the constitution, on which the Belgian
people are now divided.
The socialists and liberals have for a long
time past been seeking to force the clerical
government to an issue on the question of
lectoral law, modification of which will
necessitate a revision of the constitution.
At tbe present time any elector can cast
from one to three votes, according to his
qualifications. The socialists and liberals
laim that worklngmen cannot obtain more
than two votes, whereas the rich get three;
moreover, that In tbe rural districts voter
who are under the domination of the priests
and who support the present government
are often fraudulently given three votes In
stead of the two of which at the most they
are entitled.
To Revise Constitution.
The liberal leader In the Chamber of
Deputies, M. Jansen, submitted a motion
for the revision of the constitution, which
the government has agreed shall come be
fore the chamber next Wednesday, if the
clerical majority consents to take the prop
osition under consideration it will be re
ferred to a committee for examination.
This will be the first gain for the revision
ists, and it undoubtedly will have an Im
mense effect In calming the country, which
at the present moment Is everywhere in a
state of ebullition. The belief prevails In
many quarters that the government will
give this sop to the revisionists with the
Intention of afterward, when the country
has been quieted, throwing out the proposi
tion. In the meanwhile, from almost every
mining and Industrial district comes news
that large numbers of men have decided to
strike on Monday. Partial strikes began
yesterday at Liege, Mons, Charlerol and
elsewhere, and It Is reported that 20,000
men are already out.
No General Strike In Brussels.
There is little indication, however, that
general strike will occur in Brussels it
self. The workmen's committees will meet
tomorrow to come to a decision regarding
the action to be taken in this city. The
government Is very anxious concerning the
situation In the mining districts. Regi
ments of Infantry and cavalry have been
drafted to the various centers, and quarters
have been, prepared at many mines and In-
ustrlal works for detachments of troops
to guard the properties.
The papers report that no fewer ' than
17,000 old pattern rifles have been trans
formed into breech-loaders and sold and
are now In the hands of workmen. This
figure Is probably greatly exaggerated, but
there is no doubt that a large number of
these weapons are in possession of the men.
Le Peuple, a socialist paper of Brussels,
Is openly selling revolvers to workmen.
For some time past a big advertisement has
appeared in Its columns dally headed:
Gives Pistols for Prises...''
Prlzea for our readers," and offering re
volvers at specially low prices.. On of the
weapons offered, described as. a "cowboy"
revolver. Is sold for 8 francs 75. centimes
while more formidable weapons are offered
at IT francs. It Is stated that 4,000 revolv
era have been sold In the last four months,
which fact explains the frequency of re
volver firing In- the recent disorders.
The rioters have been temporarily awed
by the display of armed forces. Up to noon
today no further disturbances had occurred
here. The number of police, gendarmes and
soldiers at the disposal of the authorities
appears sufficient to cope with disturbances.
so long as the troops remain loyal.
The . strike continues to spread In the
central coal districts. Elsewhere tbe
socialist leaders are trying to keep the
men ' at work until Monday or Tuesday,
when they contemplate an Important move
ment.
Perhaps the urost significant event of
yesterday was the open rupture in the
Chamber of Deputies between the socialists
and the liberal taction, heretofore associ
ated with the former, with the object of
forcing the government to grant universal
suffrage. This split notably atrengthens ths
government In the present crisis, as the
coalition of the moderate parties promises
to last ss long as the Incipient revolution
continues.
Rioters Tlactared with Anarchy.
The police, gendarmes and civic guards
who are all regarded as thoroughly trust
worthy, are being utilised, so far, as pos
sible, in dealing with those who take part
In demonstrations, but not" In riots.. These
demonstrations' 'are mostly composed of
earnest socialists, while''' the 'rioters are
more clossly allied with anarchism.
. Regarding the troops, there Is no doubt
that they are leavened with socialism.
Many men In the ranks have been beard to
expound socialistic doctrines and there Is
some apprehension aa to their loyalty when
the acute atate of the agitation la reached
with tbe begtpnlng of tha strike next week,
The government has taken the most com
prehensive measures not to be taken by
surprise and is firmly resolved not to
yield to the revolutionary movement, hold
Ing that In order to deal properly with the
questions of the revision of the constitution
and universal suffrage it la essential that
Parliament be called to deliberate un
influenced by the mob.
In consequence of the receipt of a letter
threatening to blow up with dynamite tbe
works at La Louvlere, unless work there Is
stopped, the manager has shut down the
factory and has ordered the 1,200 employes
who Include (00 women, to Immediately
leave tbe premise.

The soul of the socialist movement In
Belgium Is M. Van der Velde, a member ot

Asked If he thought the anarchist were
profiting by the- opportunity afforded them
by the demonstrations recently made, Mr.
Van der Veld said h thought not, saying
that their number in Belgium I Inslg-
Meant. He admitted that there were a
few anarchist In Liege and the other eoal
fields, but declared they had little Influence
with the workmen. He does not believe
the explosion at the National bank Monday
was perpetrated by anarchists or revision
ists, but think It waa merely the act of
mlsoblef maker.
Regarding toe demonstrations of Wednes
day, he declared It was unpremeditated.
Nevertheless, we approve It, and' favor
any demonstration ot a peaceful character
which will show the king that we want

what will happen."
AFT REPLIES TO CRITICISM
Explains Caae oi Manila Editor's Ar
rest and Major Hardener's
Report.
CINCINNATI, April 12. The Times-Star
today publishes the following: Governor
General Taft of tbe Philippines was today
shown a copy of the letter written by Rev.
David Phlllpson. published this morning.
After reading Dr. Phlllpson' .letter Gov
ernor Taft said: ,
"His communication relates to two mat
ters: ,
"First, as to the arrest of the editor ot
the Manila dally newspaper, the Freedom.
Dr. Phlllpson assumes that the prosecution
of tbe editor of the Freedom is based on a
criticism of the policy adopted by the com
mission. In this I know that he la entirely
in error. The prosecution of the Freedom,
as may perhaps be gathered from the dis
patches, and as I know from previous his
tory, is for charging that the members of
the commission, or some of them,, without
naming anyone, enjoy what la vulgarly
known as a 'graft.' . That Is, that they are
corruptly receiving money for their action
aa commissioners. Prosecution ha been
begun, It is said, under the aedttton law
against the editor of the Freedom, In which
he will have' a full opportunity to show as
defense that such corruption exist. If It
does exist.
"The action Is begun under tbe (edition
law because It could not be prosecuted suc
cessfully under the libel taw.
"The queetldn presented simply Is
whether a newspaper shall be permitted
day after day to charge that the highest
governmental body In the Islands Is com
posed ot men who are corruptly using their
power to make money, without any oppor
tunity to any member of the body, or to
the body as a whole, to take action by a
ult before a court regularly constituted.
to punish such malicious misstatements, if
they are malicious, or to give the person
making them the opportunity of showing
that they are true. .
"The animus of the charge Is manifest.
The Frsedom Is a newspaper which had
devoted its columns to the denunciation of
the Filtpinoa. . It attack - the commission
dally for appointing Filipinos to office, for
legislating In the Interest of tbe Flllnlno.
for npt .lopklng to the Interest of Amer
ican 10 the island. It seeks to stir uo
American prejudices against the Fllipnos
and ha a tendency to destroy tbe confi
dence of Filipinos In the friendly interest
of American.
"The Freedom ha now made general
charge of corruption without any specifica
tion that some members of the commission,
without mentioning names, are getting
what Is called a 'graft.' The question 1
whether the freedom ot the press requires
that persons making such charge should
be Immune from prosecution. It 'seems to
me not. '
"The second circumstance referred to by
Dr. Phlllpson Is the Tayabas report of
Major Gardener as civil governor of that
province. Dr. Phlllpson say that the re
port wa suppressed by the governmental
authorities.'
"How suppressed T The fact are that In
testifying before the committee I volun
teered, without suggestion from the com
mittee, to present to It certain report to
rebut the charge that there was no tran
quillity In provinces said to be pacified, and
were admitted to be in a state of tnsurree
tlon. There was no obligation on my part,
therefore, to present any report lit regard
to the Tayabas, for I wa not asked to do
o. Before the time when Iresented the
report I had submitted the Tayaba report
to the secretary ot war for investigation,
The Tayabas report needs Investigation
before It shall be acoepted. I advised the
secretary of war that there had been great
friction between Colonel Gardener and the
military authorities In Tayabas and In tha
Islands. Before a report thus written
should be given to the public It waa, I sub
mlt, entirely fair that he, as governor,
should be oalled upon to make specific
tlons, and that thos charged with the' serl
ons" Offenses Should b given aa. opportunity
to reply, -
"It seem to me. therefor, that Dr. Phil
lpson, In hi - Justifiable seal ' for securing
proper methods ot government In the Phil
ippines, should not us th expression char
acterUlog the action ot tb secretary of
war or myself aa a 'suppression of the r
port.' "

Taft replies, I rabbi of th Mound Street

Hebrew Union college of tht city.
MANILA, April 11. A number of promi
nent business men at a meeting her to
day decided to petition the commission to
drop the proceedings against Freedom, the
local paper, the editor of which la charged
with sedition, but the editor objected, say
log he would prove every statement made.

FLOUR MILLS FORCED DOWN

MINNEAPOLIS., April 11 About 60 per

Th shutdown Is due partly to th pre

Defeat Leagrae Team Play
Aajala Taday.
Like t,be steady rattle of a Galling gua
In action, the hit followed one another
at Vinton street park yesterday afternoon,
when for the first tlm this year two league
teams met In Omaha, but when the fire ot
singles, double end triple had ceased the
Oat City plat dusters found that they
had capitulated to the besieger from De
Moines by a score of I to 5.
From start to finish It waa a case of
'the Beleagured City," but each team took
a hand In th beleaguering. The batting
was of the most satisfactory kind, for It
wa not only constant, but In some places
sensational. That is about th only plea,
ant feature ot the game for Omaha fans,
however, for they went home very sore to
think that they had been beaten by a team
which rushed In with a bunch of base ball
execution that was far Inferior to the work
their own peta did.
Omaha made twelve hits, De Moines
eleven. Three errors were chalked to the
visitors, four to Rourke'i employe. Yet
the game was really won and lost by two
twlrler. Rlsley went Id tor tbe locale In
tht sixth. The score wa 4 to 8 for Omaha.
He put the first two men on bases by de
livering a series of snake shots which Buck
Keith wa unable to construe as strikes.
The next man Rlsley threw out at first and
tha next he struck out. Then came Mr.
Warner with a single hit and this let both
the waiting one run home. Meanwhile the
ball was fielded to the plate and Johnny
Gondlng tried to catch Warner at second,
but ha threw wild and the ball went fur
ther out lu the field than Warner had
batted It, so the Iowan scored easily on
th error.
Havrkoyea Take Advantage.
That lost tbe game. Omaha made a run
In tta half ot the fatal Inning, but no more
followed, while Des Moines took advantage
of two more of Rlsley's gift bases In tb.4
eighth and made each count a run, an
error by Captain Stewart and a hit making
this possible, despite Rleley's strenuous
efforts to stop th avalanche by striving
out two men and throwing another out at
the plate.
Let It be said her that It was not ex
actly Rlsley's fault. Tb day wa very
cold, too much o tor good work In the
box, and the Mormon' lack of control can
well be excused when It Is remembered
that all he has done so far this year waa
to throw two Innings against the Orig
inals last Saturday and part of a game
against the Nebraska 'varsity boys last
week at Lincoln. It was noticed, too, that
he struck out more men than anyone else,
and he did very pretty work in the several
critical places which his own wlldness
caused.'
Pitcher Barry won the game as much as
Rlsley lost It, for be pulled together In
great atyl at a crisis and held himself
at that tension till the end. In tbe first
three Innings Omaha had made seven hits
and two runs. Then In the fifth, after
Stone had fouled out, Calhoun, Dolan and
Stewart hit a trio of two-baggers In a
string, each one prettier than Its prede
cessor. Calhoun and Dolan scored, and
It seemed that Barry was going to pieces.
But Field Csptaln O'Leary, acting In place
ot Joe Qulnn, who did not play, loft Barry
In and was rewarded. Not another hit did
Omaha get all through tb remaining four
innings and the additional score that came
In the fifth resulted only from an error
by Lett Fielder Bachof.
Barry and O'Leary Good.
O'Leary 1 another Des Molnea man
who Is a first-class ball player, bht the
rest of them did not make any bit with
tbe Omaha critics. The whole game of tbe
foreigners centered around these two.
O'Leary made three hits and did ssren as
sist and a trio of putouts without an error.
Pltchr. Barry added to hla box honor by
hitting a single and a triple, and h had
four assists and two putouts without an
error.
For Omaha Calhoun led In hitting, with
two singles and a double. Stewart cam
next, with two hits, on a double, and did
a big amount ot fielding. Alloway pitched
with good success tor Ave innings, barring
ths first, when the visitors made three
run.
Th same teams, meet this afternoon and
Omaha Intends to have a revenge so aweet
It will be sickening. The score:

L0WTHER FORFEITS RIGHTS
Violate Rale of tbe Methodist
Thatch and Loae rrlvl
leae of Appeal.
WICHITA, Kan.. April 11 Rv. GranvllU
Lowther, who was convicted ot heresy at
the recent session ot th Southwest Kansas
conference ot the Methodist Episcopal
church, and who hni announced hla de
termination to appeal the case, cannot have
that privilege, according to the statement
ot Rev. W. H. Rose, who was Junior coun
sel for Rev. Mr. Lowther during th trial.
Rev. Rose Is now stationed at McPheraon,
where he le psstor of the church lately
served by the deposed minister. He say:
lTnder the law of the church Rev. Mr.
Lowther has forfeited hla right to appeal
by continuing to preach after he had been
convicted ana expelled from the ministry.
He Is still a member of the Methodist
church, but has no authority to preach or
exerclee ministerial functions.
Rev. Mr. Rose bad In mind the two time
that the convicted minister bss presched
since the announcement' ot the verdict.
Th Sunday after the trial ha, preached in
the Methodist church at Geuda Springs, and
last Sunday afternoon he preached to a
large congregation In the McThersod opera
house.
Bishop Merlll In his digest ssys:
A member (referring to a member of an
annual conference who has been convicted)
may forfeit hla right oi appeal by ab
senting himself from trial and by auch
flagrant misconduct after the trial aa
would necessitate his expulsion; by re
peating the things alleged against him In
the former trial; by contumacious treat
ment of the church ana Its authority? by
consummating a union with another church
or otherwise abandoning the Jurisdiction
whose favor Is sought In the appeal.
The Idea Is held that, whoever would
avail himself ot the right of appeal, must
conduct hlmee'f so as to be In condition
to enjoy the benefit which the successful
prosecution of his appeal would bring to
him. He must also bo so related to the
liurch that In the event of restoration to
his ameniabillty .for his conduct during
the pendency of the trial would be com
plete. No one can use the discipline of the
church, occupying the time of those
charged with Its administration, without at
least professing to be loyal and submissive
to Its authority.
HOLDS WALLER RESPONSIBLE
Jndge Advocate Klngrsbnry Blame
Major for Disaster Which
Befell Marines.
MANILA, April 12. The Judge advocate,
Major Henry V. Kingsbury, replied today
to the summing up before the court-martial
yesterday of Captain Arthur T. Marlx, rep
resenting Major Littleton W. T. Waller,
who Is being tried for executing natives ot
Samar without trial.
Major Kingsbury made an eloquent ad
dress. He contended that Major Waller
was under military and not martial law
and there was nothing In the conduct ot
tbe men who were shot deserving ot such
punishment.
The Judge advocate blamed Major Waller
himself for the disaster which befell the
marines and accused him of abandoning ten
helpless comrades to die of hunger and
"whosS bones were now bleaching on the
banks of tbe Lanang."
The Judge advocate's denunciation of tbe
methods by which the prisoners were to be
shot were chosen, was dramatic. "They
were lined up," he said, "for the raffle of
death, at the sole will and pleasure of
Private Davis, a marina who was Judge
and prosecutor and professes many arms."
He referred to Davis' testimony In terms
of withering scorn, accused Major Waller
of listening to the dictates of ambition
and not to the dictates of duty, asserting
that the natives, according to the evidence,
acted in many instances In a highly com
mendable manner and declared that their
faithfulness and not their treachery had
been disclosed before the court.
Captain Marlx requested permission to
make a short reply.. He protested strongly
against criticism ot the way In which
Major Waller had conducted th campaign.
which, he said, was outstds the case, and
again Insisted that martial law ruled bv
the mere nature of the conditions.
The court deliberated less than half an
hour. No decision was announced.

taken In Omaha.
This Entire Stock of 175
Pianos Will Be Closed
Out ot Less Than
Factory Cost.
Circumstances seem to combine to msk
the house of Bcbmoller Mueller the foun
tain head for piano and organ bargains. We
have Just brought to a aucceseful close one
ot the greatest piano sales ever held In
Omaha. Over 100 people took advantage
of the excellent bargains given during our
annual spring clearing sale; hundreds ot
other people, for some reason or other, did
not get In.
NOW COMES THEIR OPPORTUNITY.
Wo have Just purchased the entire stock
of pianos and organs of the western branch
of Hardman, Peck A Co., of New York,
known a the Mueller Piano and Organ
Co. Few people realize to what propor
tion this western branch of thla famoua old
factory had grown. Started In Council
Bluffs In 1859, they expanded, year by year,
until they numbered several thousands of
th best people of Iowa and Nebraska
among the users of the celebrated "Hard
man" piano.
They always carried at this brsnch,
(owing to It being their western distribut
ing point), a very large assortment, not
only of the VHardman" but also of the
popular Harrington, Standard, Palmer,
Schaffer, Story & Clark, Carlton, Madelon
and others. Now this Immense stock, con
sisting of about 175 pianos and a number
Of new and used organs, also several
square pianos, will be sacrificed at prices
never before dreamed of.
MONDAY MORNING,
la the time set to throw this olegant stock
on the tender mercies bf the people. If
ever genuine bargains were offered to the
purchasing publlo this Is surely the
GREATEST BONA FIDE PIANO OPPOR
TUNITY. Wo dislike to slaughter the
prices on such standard, high grade In
strument aa. thla stock constats of, but
w Are simply forced to do It the lease on
the building now occupied by the Mueller
Piano and Organ Co. ha about expired,
and It la quit out of the question to put
thee 175 Instrument on our already over
crowded, wsreroom floors where we at all
times have over 250 pianos covering thirty-two
different make consequently ire
have decided to aacrlfloe this immense
stock of .strictly standard Instruments until
w can reduce our stock to It normal else.
Thla means that we shall slaughter prices
on 175 to"2W Instruments you know that
this house has the reputation ot being
able to "finish what they start" and you
c,an safely investigate the bargains, with
out having your expectations disappointed.

: .:'.. ;'.-Paranaa:'. '
- Mr. C. A- Lockhart, through hla concelv.
Ing of tho mill-end sale fdea, has become
on of ' tb best known chuf acter of tbe
country. His plan of controlling the out
put of mill-ends of th representative man
ufacturer of the country has proven a
boon to th consumers in all the large
cltle whsr these mill-end sales are held.
Mr.' Lockhart wa found In a very genial
mood and quit disposed to discuss the
merit of hi ' sale. The mill-end sale
em part of th man and his herculean
task la a pleasur to him.
"Th success of tb mill-end sale," said
Mr. Lockhart. "Is directly due to the fact
that It enables th people to secure th
most dealrabl claass of merchandise at 4
pric that 1 considerably under tbe or
dinary. Of course that sounds simple, but
It Is no easy matter to bring about such
conditions. Now I am not going Into de
tails; all tbe public cares for anyhow ar
th results, and tbe results have been
demonstrated to tb people of Omaha with
a vigor on three different occasions. Tbe
sale that I am going to start tomorrow at
J. L. Brandels 80ns promise to be on
of th greatest I have ever held, and you
must bear In mind I bsv conducted sales
in the largest stores la the United States.
I do not feel a stranger in Omaha any
more.' There ar thousands of th Boston
Btor patron that knew me and- the em
ploye exert their utmost energies to aid
me. 1 feel grateful to them and am glad
of an opportunity to tell them ao through
a local paper."
Mr. Lockhart wa also very emphstlo la
his declaration of th fact that J. L.
Brandels Sons ar aa aggressive mer
chants as b has ever known. He says:
"Ths people of Omaha hav reason t feel
proud of such a business Institution. It fa
undoubtedly a benefit to them and. Judging
by th (tore's grsat popularity, it la ap
preciated." "Now," he aay. almost pleadingly,
"Come down to th stor tomorrow. I want
you to see th mountain ot mlll-tnds
ad I want you to a the crowd of buy
srs and tb sstlsfisd look on their face:
that will tell you why my mill-end sal has
bsea s uccen."
