An Audience With the King.

Brussels special to the Paris edition Of the
New York Herald of March % has this to say of
Washington boy: Mr.. R. Dorsey Mohun,
commercial agent of the United States to the
Congo Free State, has had an audience with the
King Of the BelgianA His majesty expressed
himself as being gratiied that the United States
government was sending q representative to
the Congo to fill the vacancy caused by the
death Of NJ. Taunt.
He added that he hoped some large Ameri-
can company could be formed to develop the
resources Of the Upper and Lower Congo VAL
ley. While the Free State was poor and the
conditions Of transport we're such that business
was carried on under many difficulties, yet
when the railroad was finished he hoped to see
the rubber trade developed. The money to be
made in ivory was infinitesimal compared
with what could be done in rubber if the ma
tives could be induced to cut it properly.
MIR. Mohun replied that the knowledge he
had gained in the rubber districts of Central
America he hoped would be Of benefit to the
officers and merchants of the Free State.
His majesty thanked and told Mr.. Mohun
that il he would give the benefit of his expert
ence to the traders he would appreciate it.
The audience terminated with some COM
plimentary remarks about the United States
on the part Of his majesty, who in conclusion,
wished the American commissioner q pleasant
voyage and a safe return.

brother Of the Duke of Wellington and thereby
became the Marchioness Of Wellesley. Another
of the sisters married the Duke of Leeds; the
