CONGO FREE STATE
The African Nation Over Which
 King Leopold Reigns.
It Is Charged That Fr1ghtfuI AtrOci- ties Are Taking Place There How the Government
 Is Conducted.

No less a parsonage than King Leopold II. of Belgium has under taken, if recent news reports can be trusted, to advertise a book, "The Curse of Modern Africa" 1t is the joint production of Capt. Guy Bar rows and Edward Canisius, both for mer servants of the Congo Free State government, which is alleged to be the aforesaid curse. Proofs of this work, it is said, charged certain, named officials with frightful atroci- ties. The book when published, how ever, omitted the names, making the charges somewhat indefinite. The ac- cused, as named in the original proof, are bringing libel action against the publishers and authors, and it is ru- mored that the king, who considers his honor affected, will follow suit. The book is a sickening recital of outrages, murder and slave-raidings. The state officials declared these to be baseless accusations made by dis charged employees, who are thus seek ing to vent their spite.
 It is not the first time that charges have been made against Belgian off, cials in the Congo Free State, neith CT is it the first time that the Freo State has been designated as tho "curse of Africa" For many years past there have been mutterings and complainings, and it cannot be truth fully said that they are baseless, but as one recent writer has pointed out, to exercise control over such an inn mense area as the Congo basin is, of course, quite impossible for the pres ent staff of officers.
 The Congo Free State is not a coll ony of Belgium. It is an independent sovereign state as regards it's inter- national status, and an absolute mon- archy under Leopold, it's ''king-sover- eign," as regards it's form of govern ment.
 Leopold's connection with the his- tory of the Congo basin began in 1876. In September of that year, at a conference of scientists, geograph CTS and explorers assembled from all
Newport daily independent., 1903-04-09

nations at the palace of Brussels, the Belgian king spoke as follows:
 ''To open the only portion of our globe where civilizati has not pene- trated, to pierce the darkness which envelops whole countries of people, is a crusade worthy this century of progress. I have led myself to be- lieve that you would find it possible to discuss and arrange between your selves the ways and means of plant ing the standard of civilization upon African soil"
 Just the month previous Henry NJ. Stanley, who had left Zanzibar on his way to the interior more than two years before that, appeared on the shores of the Atlantic, revealing to the world the course of the mighty Congo. King Leopold, realizing the importance of the discovery, found- ed, in November, 1878, the committee for the exploration of the upper Congo. This company was composed of English, French, Dutch and Bel gian capitalists, and had for it's ob- iect the exploration of the entire val ley of the Congo, to ascertain as nearly as possible the resources of the country, to study the customs of its people and to open up trade with them by exchanging European manufactured articles for their natu- ral products. The management of this undertaking was assigned to Stanley, who set out for Africa in 1879. This expedition was so much of success that the committee de- cided to submit the territories they had discovered to stronger and more independent administration, which should be recognized by powers, thus assuming a political role. With this in view the committee changed it's name to the International Associa- tion of the Congo. By the close of the year 1883 this association had secured nearly 1000 treaties by which the native chiefs ceded to them their sovereign rights to the territory they occupied. It is interesting in this connection to note the fact that the United States was the first nation to recognize the flag of the International Association of the Congo as that of a friendly nation.
 In November, 1884. a conference of the nations was held in Berlin. This conference traced out the valley of the Congo, fixed upon the form of legislation by which the new state was to be governed, accorded to it the political privilege of neutrality, prescribed measures for the protec- ton of the natives and the prohibit ton of the slave trade, and declared free the navigation of the Congo river, it's affluents and the lakes and canals depending thereon.
 On May 6, 1885. the local govern. ment was organized and Leopold IT became sovereign of the Congo Free State.

POPPIES AND STARS.
Two Sights for Which Southern
 California Is Famous.
Flaming Fields of Glowing Flowers AntOnish Tourdsts-A Visit to the Great Lick Observa-
 tory.
Especial Los Angeles (Cal) Lctter.l


 M I this season, when the scenery N of California is at it's best, it
 would be hard to select any one feature of the landscape as that which, par excellence, added more to the gen eral beauty than any other, but it is certain that nothing contributes more pleasure to greater number of peo- pie than the fields of golden-hued poppies which hold all the glories of the wonderful California sunshine condensed in their satin depths. The snow-topped grandeur of the purple mountains inspires awe and admira- tion as they slope down to the foot hills covered with gray green olive, groves and rich, dark, myrtle-green orange and lemon orchards to the miles of glowing peoples nestling be- low, but the latter add something warm and personal to ones enjoy ment; they are something to be gath cred, to be taken away, to become ones own, in a measure, so that all, from the children who revel among them to the grandparents who select few choice blossoms, love these little flowers which decorate the earth with such lavish generosity mere than any other of the thousands of varieties which, favored by this equable climate, find home on the Pacific slope.
 So many people who visit the south ern portion of this state fail to take advantage of an opportunity which once improved, may never be forgot ten, and which, in all it's attractions, furnishes the most interesting expe- rience of any trip which may be taken in California, viz, visit to Lick ob servatory. After reaching San Jose,
