TO URGE RUSSIAN EVACUATION.
Japan to Make Demands if Her Pro- test and England's Are of No Avail.

Japan to Make Demands if Her Pro-
 test and England's Are of No Avail. London, Sept. s14.-The Associated Press is informed that Japan and Great Britain have exchanged views on the latest demands made by Russia on China, and that they decided to protest separately to the Pekin government
 against their acceptance. In case this should prove fruitless and Russia con- tinues her occupation of Manchuria, Japan proposes to break off the negotia- tior1s with Russia for definition of their respective rights in Manchuria and Korea. and to demand of the St,
 Petersburg government that 1t order the evacuation of Chinese territory. We cannot permit the postponement of the evacuation" said a Japanese au- thority. flor Russia would utilize the additional time to strengthen her fleet and army in the far east. Already her
 naval tonnage there is equal to ours. Public sentiment fin Japan is deeply stir red by Russia's failure to carry out her
 promises to evaeuate Manchuria, and demands the withdrawal of her troops on the date fixed year ago."

nations at the palace of Brussels, the
 Belgian king spoke as follows:
 l ITO open the only portion of our
 globe where civilization has not pene- 1 trated, to pierce the darkness which 1 envelops whole countries of people,
 is crusade worthy this century of
 progress. have led myself to be-
 heve that you would find it possible
 to discuss and arrange between your
 selves the ways and means of plant l ing the standard of civilization upon African soil
 l Just the month previous Henry M.
 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 1 Congo. This company was composed
 of English, French, Dutch and Bel
 gian capitalists, and had for it's ob- | 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 a 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 1 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 1 Association of the Congo as that of
 a friendly nation. In November, 1884, & 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 prohibi-
 tion of the slave trade, and declared
 free the navigation of the Congo
 river, it's af1uents 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. JOHN CT Ow

CONGO FREE STATE
The African Nation Over Which
 King Leopold Reigns.
1t Is Charged That FrIghtfuI Atroci- ties Are Taking Place There ~-Hovv 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" It 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 bascless accusations made by dis charged employees, who are thus seek ing togvent 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 Free State has been designated as the "curse of Africa" For many years past there have been rnutterings 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 i'm mense area as the Congo basin is, of course, quite impossible for the pres ent staff of officers. S
 The Congo Free State is not col 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 its form of govern ment.
 Leopold's connection with the his tory of the Congo basin began in 1876. In September of that year, at conference of scientists, geograph- CTS and explorers assembled from all
