KING LEOPOLD
Frees His Mind About the
Contemplate Anarchists.
Their Methods Strike at All the Best
of Law and Order.
Hope to lntimidate Rulers, but Will
Never Succeed.

Brussels, Nov. 2O.-King Leopold
made somewhat striking reply. today
to a deputation from the Chamber
headed by the President, who presented
His Majesty with an address of con-
CALCULATIONS on his escape, Saturday,
from the Anarchists bullet. After
thanking the deputies the King con-
tinued:
The times are very troubled. Agi-
tators are constantly stirring up their
followers to disturb that order which Is
the guarantee of public liberties. With
out order only license remains which
leads inevitably to despotisn.
These agitators find in their path
firstly the heads of states. If they fail
to reach them they attack their wives
as in the case of the horrible drama at
Geneva.
Their blows are also aimed at min
listers as in the case of Senior Canovas
and they also blow up the houses OF
private individuals.
They want to intimidate us but they
will not succeed. Even if they struck
down the head of the state it would
make no difference, as he would soon
be replaced. In addition to revolver
shots they employ the pen, which can
write what calumnies they please.
Il am nearing the end of my life.
do not know how long l shall live-how
long they will let me live. But | can
assure you that all the rest of my eX-
istence will be devoted within the
limits of my constitutional powers to
the good of nv country and the pro-
lection of it's liberties

Co., has resigned. to take effect Nov. 30.
Difference of opinion regarding the man.
agement of the company is assigned as
the reason.

ly of the management of the railroad and
President Walter has several times felt
called upon to defend his policy.
The adverse comment on the company :
affairs has had the effect of lowering me
price of the stock. Following the an
nOuncement of Mr.. Walters resignation
the stock became quite strong on the To-
cal exchange.
