RELGTUu AND THE CONGO STATE.

While nearly every Government OF the Old
World is scrambling for and grabbing al terri
tory in Africa, splendid empire furrowcd by the
finest waterway on the Dark Continent Is prac
tically going a-bcgging. The Congo Free state
is in pecuniary difficulties, and Its sovereign
King Leopold Of Belgium, has reached that point
where he finds himself unable to bear any longer
fine terrible drain which 1t has until now con-
stituted upon his private fortune BY will he
bc0ueathed the Congo State to Belgium, but
declared that II his people were inclined to enter
into their inheritance during his life. they should
always be free to do So Some five years ago
King Leopold was obliged to seek financial AID
from the Belgian nation for the Congo Free
State. and the result was a convention by which
Belgium agreed to advance $5,00O,0O0, with the
option Of either being repaid at the end Of ten
wears with interest or Of acquiring the Congo
State as n colony. The loan has long since been
swallowed up, and the State is once more in such
urgent need Of money that unless II Is able to
secure S1,OOO,OO0 early next month 1t will be
forced to irrevocably surrender territory OF i'm
mensc value acquired AT great cost.
Face to face with this difficulty King Leopold
requested the Brussels Government TO solve the
problem by at once taking over the Congo State
and Transforming it into Belgian colony as
sumIng al the same time its financial liabilities.
Premier Burll, submitted bill in this sense to
the Legislature, and success seemed assured
when. at the last minute, the Cabinet found itself
compelled to withdraw the nneasura which u
