INVESTIGATE FOREIGN BANDS
Musical Union Say "RoyaI Bands, ar,
 Mnde of MDummlea.o

Musical Union Say "Royal Bands" are
 Made of "Dummles."
 Chicago, July 24.-Foreign musicians are to be placed under investiga tio n by the American Federation of Musi- clans because 1t is said they are en- gagged to labor in violation to the con- tract labor laws. sst,b
 All locals affiliated with the federal tion have been instructed to collect data and submit it to the national officers. All the knowledge concerning these musicians will he tabulated and placed before the commissioner of immigration and that official will be asked to take action that will exclude them from following the business here.
 Many of these importations are men from the laboring world, and have lit- tie, if any, knowledge of music.' de- clared Joseph F. Winkler. president of the Chicago local.
 Many of the bands posing. as being royal ones are made up of what Is called dummy and noisy members. The dummy members carry and go in reality the mouthpieces are plugged and they make no sound at all. The noisy members are the time markers" and play some very small parts in the arrangement of music.
 "In many imported bands a few real ly good musicians do the work, while elevator starters. walters and team sters and men from many other non musical walks of life go to complete the band" continued MT Winkler
 Tt is. however. necessary that they have the appearance of being the real thing"

WILL ANNEX CONGO
KING LEPOLD WILL LOOSE PER-
 SONAL SOVEREIGNTY.
Transfer Will Mark important Epoch In the Civil and Military Affairs
 of the Free
 State.

Brussels. July 24.-The close of King Leopolds long struggle to slave off the annexation of the Congo to Bel gium and retain his personal sover- fgnty over this rich and extensive Ar rican state is foreshadOwed in the agreement reached between the Bel gian and the Congo governments elab- orating the terms upon which the Con- go free state shall pass into the pos- session of Belgium.
 This transfer will mark an import ant epoch for the Congo, as hereto fore the entire conduct of affairs, civE and military has been under the per- sonal direction of King Leopold and a cabinet of Congo officers entirely separate from and independent of Bel gium. whereas the new regime will make the Belgian government, instead of the Kings individually responsible for the conduct of Congo affairs.
 The British and American govern ments have favored the placing this governmental responsibility on Bel gium, as the British officials have made the point that there was great difficulty in dealing with the Congo in view of it's anomalous position as a personal dependency or the king. whereas foreign government could deal with 1t through the diplomatic chan nels If the Belgian government assum- ed responsibility for its administration.
 The proposed transfer comes at a time when Major Lemair's charges of Congo atrocities are again directing attention to the present administration. Charges of this nature nave heretofore aroused much resentment in Europe and the United States and the Congo administration has sought to meet them in part by the investigations of . commission, the report of which dis closed many serious abuses. Major Le- mair now renews the attack with ve- hemence and authoritative status which gives added effects to his charges.
 The indications are that the whole subject will be threshed out in parlia- ment during the fall and that January or February 1908 will see the Congo free state a colony of Belgium, instead of a personal dependency of King Leo- pOld

RegistratiOu Returns.

Washington. July 24-The bureau of insular affairs has received informa- tion from the Governor General of tho Philippines that the returns from reg istration preparatory to the election of members for the Philippine Assembly which will take place July 30. seems to indicate a falling off compared with 1905. In Manila total registration was 1902, of which number 865 were Amer jeans.
 This will be the first opportunity which the citizens of Manila have had to vote and it Is impossible to compare this registration with the registration for prior periods; but in 1905 in the province of Pampanga. which has but 5000 more civilized inhabitants than the city of Manila, the total registra- tion was 6.641 and in Pangasinin prov ince, which has a civilized population of 394,916 as compared with 219,92S for Manila, there was registration of 9.716 and in Rizal, the province near est to the city of Manila, of 14S,502, there was registered 5.326 voters.

LONG LIST OF MURDERS
Question of Controlling Gypsies of Hungary Again COnfrOnts Gov
 aPnnenf

Budapest July 24.--A long list of murders and other outrages committed Puzzta and elsewhere in Hungary has brought the question of controlling the gypsies. a problem that has con fronted the Hungarian government for a century or so, again to the front. The alarm arising from this outbreak of crime is widespread, and there is a powerful movement on foot to compel the government finally to solve the problem of the distribution of these 5000 wanderers in Hungary, whose depredations terrorize the country dis tricts.
 Successive governments have made futile efforts to induce the gypsies to settle down and live quietly. A ma jority of the crimes in Hungary, mur- ders, kidnappings and robberies are committed by gypsies and they are seldom apprehended.
