The Report That the King of Bel
GUM is Coming to This COuntry.


GUM is Coming to This Country.
The report thai the King of Belgium
would visit Newport this summer is not
credited in official quarters here, a visit
from ruling sovereign being of such i'm
portance that there is TO doubt it would
be promptly reported by cur official repre-
sentatives in Belgium. No such intimation
has come from any of our officials abroad.
Moreover, the political upheaval in Belgium
is such that there is little idea among OFF,
cials that the king would absent himself
from the country at this time. In the event
of such visit. it is said, the United States
government would undoubtedly take cog
nizance of the presence of so high a per-
sonaga, and that suitable official consider
alton would be shown him. Last year one
of the princes of Belgium made "trip in
