Rapid Pension Legislation.

Washington. - The House Friday
ground out its usual semi-monthly
grist Of private pensions, making anew
record of pension legislation by passing
in seventy-two minutes 429 bills for
the benefit of veterans who are barred
for one reason or another from coming
in under the general statute Seven
ty-five per cent. of the beneficiaries are
either blind or bedridden.
This order, with a number Of minor
bills. and the passage Of two amend
ments to the Philippine tariff act OF
1905, constituted the transactions Of
the day. The tariff amendments place
American cotton goods on an equality
SO far as the cost of production Is con-
cerned, with European goods. Low
grades of shoes were admitted at a
lower tariff
A bill was passed authorizing the

ATTACKS KING LEOPOLD.
seisium's Monarch Declared to Be a
Royal CRATER.

Brussels.-Prof. Felician Gather of
the Free University of Brussels, has
published a pamphlet on the situation
in the Congo Free State which con-
tains several hitherto unpublished
documents showing that the crown do
main, which practically is King Leo
pold's personal property. consists of
2S9,375 square kilometers of an area
two and one-half times the size of
England, bringing him profits on india
rubber alone of $15,147,0OO during the
last ten years.
Professor Gather recalls the fact
that Premier De Smet De Mayer de-
clared in the Chamber of Deputies in
1903 that the profits Of the crown do
main would be exclusively applied to
the creation of establishments of ma
terial, moral and intellectual utility,
whereas the official documents ad-
duced show that the profits have been
used for the acquisition of real estate
in Brussels and Ostend alone to the
value of $3,655,000 as well as property
in many other towns in Belgium. The
author foresees as result, of all this
that grave difficulties will arise when
the succession to the throne of Bel
gium and the Congo Free State comes
up.
The revelations of Professor Cattier
have caused a great sensation.

German W. American Railways.

Berlin.-Privy Councillors M. Hon
and F. Schwabach. whom the Prussian
government sent to the United States
in 1904 TO study American railway sys-
TENS, have Just published an exhaus-
tive work, making many striking COM
parisons of the American and Prussian
railroads, often to the disadvantage Of
the former. They quote official statis-
tics showing that per million passen-
gers carried the American roads killed
six time and wounded twenty-nine
times as many Of them as the Prussian
roads.
The writer's found that the average
passenger rate in America was 2.O2
cents per mile, against 0.98 cents In
Prussia, while freight rates nominally
average O.78 cents per ton per mile In
the United States. against 1.36 cents In
Prussia.
The original cost of construction OF
the Prussian lines was sixty-three per
cent. higher per mile than that Of the
American roads.
II conditions were equalized, Herren
Hon and Schwabach figure. that the
American average for freight would be
LA cents per ton per mile and that OF
Prussia 0.95.

Washington.-Aimost the entire ses-
sion of the Senate Friday was devoted
to the consideration Of the urgency de-
ficiency bill. which was passed prac-
tically as 1t was reported from the
committee on appropriations. The only
discussion in connection with the bill
was over an amendment suggested by
Mr.. Patterson to strike out the provision
relieving all alien workmen on the ca
nal from the operations OF the eight
hour law. Mr.. Patterson contended
that to require men to labor more than
eight hours day in the tropics was
inhuman and argued that the require
ment would do injustice to American
labor. Several senators on both sides
Of the chamber controverted the posi-
tion.
The amendment was voted down
without resorting to a roll call.

NEGRO AUTHOR DEAD.
Consumption Closes Career Of Paul
Lawrence Dunbar.

Dayton. Ohlo.-Paul Lawrence Dun
bar, the negro poet, died at his home
here Friday of consumption. For three
years he had been seriously i'll and for
a year critically Ill, but he kept at his
work intermittently and wrote his last
poem for his Christmas book "Howdy,
Honey, HOwdy," just before Christmas
Mr.. Dunbar was born in Dayton
June 27, 1872, and was first newsboy
and then an elevator boy and in his
ups and downs for living practiced
writing. His first poem was written
when he was seven years old. His first
work to attract attention to him was n
class poem written for the Steele high
school in 1891. His first of total Of
twenty-one books was Oak and Ivy"
His poem best known was when
Malindy Sings" which was written to
his mother, whose name is Malindy.
Mr.. Dunbar is survived by his
mother, his wife and two half-brothers,
who reside in Chicago. He will be
buried in Woodland cemetery, this
city, many persons Of note being ex-
pected to attend.
A story written by Dunbar at the be-
ginning of his career attracted the at
tention of Frederick Douglass, and the
colored statesman looked him up. By
this time the public began to become
interested in the personality of the
young Ohioan, and his future was as
sured. He secured admission to the
highest literary circles everywhere
and became a popular lecturer, while
his revenue from his writings steadily
increased.
At twenty-five, with the encouraging
plaudits of his first success ringing in
his ears, he went abroad for new con-
quests. In England Mr.. Dunbar was
received by the most highly cultured
and aristocratic people in the land. be-
cause he had genius-the key that un-
looks all doors that bar the way to
fashionable or cultivated society
abroad.

AN ARCTIC CONTINENT.
Will De Sought for Uncle Sam by Daa-

Washinston.-Capt. E. J. Mikkelsen.
formerly of the Danish navy. will soon
undertake q novel Polar expedition.
under Anglo-Amerfcan auspices. for
the purpose OF discovering the great
unknown continent supposed to be
within the Arctic circle and by raising
the American nag and claiming it in
the name OF the United States.
His plan of operations was ex-
planned to President Roosevelt at the
White House Saturday. Captain Mix
kelsen was ofacially presented to the
President by the Danish minister.
The captain believes that there ex-
lists in the Arctic regions an enormous
archipelago. as yet unexplored. lying
between the Parry islands and Wran-
gel land, on the Siberian coast. Al
though a subject Of Denmark, Captain
Mikkelsen, upon discovering the new
continent, intends to plant there the
American flag and claim it as pos
session Of the United States.
He has no intention of trying to
reach the North Pole, an undertaking
which he believes to be both improba-
BILE and useless of attainment.
Captain Mikkelsen explained to the
President the objects and purposes of
the expedition and President Roose-
welt expressed his hearty approval of
the enterprise. 1t was explained that
the intention of Captain Mikkelson is
to make scientific Investigations.
which probably will result in new and
important additions to present knowl-
edge OF geology, meterology. hydro
graphy and possibly ethnology. astron-
omy and physics.
Captain Mikkelsen will have as his
companions on the expedition, which
1t 10 proposed shall start from San
Francisco in May of the present year,
Ernest Lefnngwell of the University OF
Chicago, who will have charge OF all
Of the scientific work, and Ejnar Dit
levsen of Copenhagen, who Is both a
zoologist and an artist. In it's en-
tirety the expedition goes out under
the auspices Of the Royal Geographi-
cal Society and an American maga-
zine.
