Copenhagen. April 4.—(By The As
sociated Press.)—The general strike
called as a protest against the resigna
tion of Premier Zeahl on March 20 was
called off Sunday morning, it was an
nounced following a meeting of the chair
men of 11 political parties in the rigsdag,
called Saturday nignt by King Christian.
The announcement stated that all the
parties had agreed, it would be neces
sary to hold elections after a new elec
toral law has been passed.
Premier Liebe declared, on the king's
suggestion, that he desired to be retired,
The king will now ask the former direc-1
tor of the ministry of justice, Friis. to
form a cabinet with the understanding
that the rigsdag will resume its sessions
soon as possible and begin negoti- j
it ions for an electoral bill. All the chair- j
men promised to co-operate with a <
cabinet formed on that basis.
New Electoral Bill.
The resignation of the Liebe ministry, j
after five days tenure of office, means i
that the Socialists will consent to call I
off the general strike providing the new I
electoral bill is carried through all the
of the rigsdag and the new elections. !
To find a parallel for the recent j
scenes witnessed in Copenhagen it would
be necessary to go far back in Danish !
history. The striking procession from 1
the town hall to the palace on Saturday j
was followed bv thousands bearing red ;
flags, who awaited with more or less !
impatience the result of the visit of the i
deputation of councillors to the king, i
This deputation implored the king to j
dismiss the newly appointed ministry, j
The monarch replied: " j
Concede Electoral Reforms 1
"I will negotiate on everything when j
the general strike is called off". I
A Socialist councillor interjected, "It j
is too late, your majesty." and all the
Socialist Democrats present echoed Iiis ;
words. j
Meantime, outside the palace were i
heard shouts of "republic,—long live
social democracy." These cries were re
dou bled when the deputation reappeared. !

275 ,0000 emigrants have left the coun

To consider the problem the national

<S> At Dublin Castle is was stated that
destruction of the tax records would
avail nothing; all citizens whose records
have been destroyed will be re-assessed
and their taxes are likely to be increas

barracks and huts destroyed.
Attacks on the police barracks and
government offices are reported from

casualties are yet reported, except for
the wounding of two soldiers by John
