From the San Francisco Call.
 I remember one distinguished Chinese who gave the newspaper men a big sur prise. We knew that he was a high off, eial and that he had come to this country on a mission of importance, but not more than perfunctory interview through one of his interpreters.
 Through a secretary we conveyed to the big man our desire for an interview. He talked with his secretary in Chinese for a few moments 'and then the secre- tary in halting English invited us to ac- company him and the chief to the off, cial's suite. We filed in, dropped into the seats to which we were bowed by tho statesman, and waited for somebody to begin.
 As we hesitated peculiar smile lit the big mans face. Lying back in his chair he cooked one leg over the other, lighted a cigar, and dropped a bomb by saying:
 Fire away. boys; I'm ready. But be- fore you begin, who won the boat racer"

CONGO FREE STATE GOES
TO MONARCHY OF BELGIUM
King Leopold Thus Loses Personal
Control, Which Will Henceforth
Be in Hands of the
Cabinet

BY Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, July 24.-The close of King
Leopolds long struggle to stave off the
annexation of the Congo by Belgium and
retain his personal sovereignty over this
rich and extensive African state is fore
Swallowed in the agreement reached on
July Il between the Belgian and the
Congo governments, celebrating the terms
upon which the Congo Free State shall
pass into the possession of Belgium.
This transfer will mark an important
epoch for the Congo. as the entire con-
duct OF affairs. civil and military, has
been under the personal direction of King
Leopold and a cabinet of Congo officers
entirely separate from and independent OF
Belgium whereas the new regime will
make the Belgium government, instead OF
the king individually, responsible for the
conduct of the Congo affairs.
The proposed transfer comes at time
when Major LemairS charges of Congo
atrocities are again directing attention to
the past administration. Charges of this
nature have heretofore aroused much re-
sentiment in Europe and the United
States, and the Congo administration has
sought to meet them in part by the in
vestigation of a committee, the report of
which has disclosed many serious abuses.

Event
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 24.-How probable is
a race for the Americas cup next year

plans are under way to build three yachts

Three yachts are to be designed by the
three foremost architects in America.
They will be from the board of Nat Her
reshoff, of Henry j. Gieow and of Will
liam Gardner The three yachts will COM
pete in trial races, according to the
present idea and the best of the three
selected to race for the cup
All three of the designers in question
have especially guarded the fact that they
have had plans under preparation
Neither will they reveal the identity Of
the intending builders. 1t is understood
however that Frank NJ Smith, owner of
the kings cup winner, Effort, is behind
the Gielow boat; that John H. Hanan and
his son, Edison G., and Wilmer Hanau
are behind the Gardner boat and that
the usual syndicate is behind the HERE.
shoff boat.
While it is true that there have been
no negotiations as yet with respect to a
challenge, 1t has been well understood
fact since Sir Thomas Upton left this
country last winter that he would chal-
lenge at the end of the present racing
season.
