THE CONGO FREE STATE.
A Report of Its Development Re
cciyed From BeIlamy StOrer.


ccived From BeIlainy storer.
Hon. Bellamy Storer, United States
minister at Brussels. has sent to the
State Department the following interest
ing paper on the development of the
Congo Free State:
THE celebration by the city of An
twerp, on October IS, of the progress OF
the Congo Free State, has attracted wide
attention. In his speech on tfst occasion,
the king. after calling attention to the
enormous difficulties in the way of COM
mercial development in Africa, spoke of
the remarkable advance in trade made
by the Congo during the last few years,
although the railway connection with the
interior navigable waters of that terri
importations, from 7.5O0, 900 francs 81, H.
500 in 1893. increased to q. .000. 600 francs
0si.2i60 0oW in 1897, of which more than
100000 francs (s3 0SS, ,00O worth came
from Belgium. The expectations increased
from $500 900 france Isl. .061, 500 in 1893 to
more than 100000 (S2 S95, ,090) in 1897, of
which 1900, 900 francs (s2, 500 ,000 was sent
to Belgium. The king spoke of the proba-
bility that the railway now finished and
others to be constructed would increase
this commerce at an even greater ratio.
The government policy in regard to the
Congo, he said, would be to keep it an
absolutely neutral power, Belgium has
been; to initiate Germany in the forma-
ton of numerous export associations; to
encourage by all means, private and Off
cial, the establishment of centers of trade
in Africa. Calling the ScheIdt the rival
of the Clyde. the king proceeded TO urge
an increase in the number of plants and
factories on its banks. Antwerp he said,
can be the greatest commercial city of
the continent. We Belgians were the
first on the continent to build lines of
railway. Let US prolong them by lines
of steamers. Let US busy ourselves with
this important business of ocean trans
portation. Regular lines of shipping-that

represented all degrees of ferceness, and

one furthest to the east. and at the same
