COLD TURKEY FOR FRANCE
Rumor That Leopold of Belgium Is
About to Hand Over Congo
Free State.

Paris, April 20.-A dispatch from
Brussels says that the journey of King
Leopold to Paris has been unexpected
ly postponed from tomorrow until
Monday.
This trip of the king of the Belgians
has aroused much comment and specu-
latiOn in political circles. The explana-
ton that finds the most credence, but
which is impossible of confirmation and
is given with all reserve, is that Leo
pold will offer to cede the Congo indie
pendent state to France at his inter-
view with President Fallieres. This in
teryiew was arranged while the king
was on his way from Nice to Brussels.
France enjoys the right of pre-emp-
ton in the Congo under the treaty OF
Berlin, which treaty gave King Leopold
power to dispose of the Congo state
during his lifetime. 1t has always been
his majesty's intention to turn over the
Congo to Belgium, but exasperated by
the opposition of the present Belgian
parliament to his views concerning the
future government of the state, it is
said that he now prefers to hand the
country over to France. With that OBJ
ject in view the Belgian monarch, it is
explained, is about to sound the French
government.
In other quarters the opinion is en-
tertained that the approaching inter-
view with President Fallieres is moth
ing more than a threat against the Bel
gian parliament

which were feeding on tine insulation OF
the great mass of wires inside the build
ing.
For half an hour Broadway was almost
in darkness. The foOtlights in half a
dozen theatres were so dim that the &C
tors were hardly distinguishable to the
auditors, and In some places stampedes
were narrowly averted. Scores OF little
moving picture theatres were put out OF
commission and In Bellevue hospital the
attendants were busy for many minutes
quelling a panic among the patients.
Emergency generators were finally
placed III operation by the lighting COM
pany.

SPANISH ELECTIONS.
Disorders Expected in Barcelona and
Catalan Provinces.

Madrid, April 2O.-The elections for
members of the chamber of deputies,
which commence tomorrow, promise to
be prolific in disorder, particularly at
Barcelona and in the four Catalan prov
inces. owing to violent dissensions in the
Republican party. The agitation has been
increased by the formation by Senior
Salmeron. the Republican leader, of an
electoral league with the Catalan extreme
home rulers and the Carlist and Uultra-
monte Conservatives, to defeat the revo-
lutionary Republicans led by Deputy Lee
roux. The attack at Barcelona yesterday
on Salmeron, in which Cambo, a Catalan
deputy, was MORALLY wounded, serves to
increase the i'll feeling.
The electoral struggle will be particu-
larry fierce in Guadalajara. where the gov
eminent seeks to break the lOng-standing
influence of Count RomanOnes.
In Madrid the Republicans have some
Liberal support

When President Roosevelt demanded
that the Southern Pacific company take
steps to save the Imperial valley OF
California by stopping the break in the
Colorado river, the prospect was
gloomy. For years a duel had waeed
between nature and science and, so
far nature had wont
Today it is different. The break has
been closed, closed within a period
which has astonished the engineering
world. The feat was thus described by
Mr.. Hartman:
''The time actually consumed in
making the closure, dating from the
dumping of the first rock, was fifteen
days and two hours, during which in
terVal a 600 cubic yards of material. %
per cent of which was rock, the balance
gravel and clay, We're handled. The
difficulties which confronted the en-
gineers will be better appreciated when
it is recalled that the Colorado river,
with a flow of %, 900 seconds-feet, was
rushing madly through a break LOO
feet long in soft earth banks. In mid
channel the depth of the water was
thirty-four feet
But not only has the break been
closed; the Southern Pacific engineers
are determined that such a break shall
not occur again. Additional material
is being added today at the rate of
5000 subic feet each twenty-four hours.
When completed the dam will contain
100000 cubic yards of material, 10000
yards Of which viii be rock and the
balance gravel and clay.
What Was Done in Two Weeks.
The maximum amount of water con-
tended with during the construction of
the dam Appropriated 1000 seconds
feet. In a period of a little more than
two weeks a structure of rock, gravel
and clay was built across the channel.

European Visit Necessary.

While some work will be done by the
commission in this country by way of
beginning it's inquiries, the general idea
is 10 extend its labors to Europe. The
most important ports of embarkation
of emigrants will be visited. A tenta-
tive itinerary includes Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria Hungary,
Spain and Italy. 1t is expected that
the trip will occupy three or four
months.
The work of the commission will be
only fairly begun when it returns to
America Every possible source of in
formation will be sought. Reports from
all parts of the world will be placed at
the disposal of the commission, and
experts on immigration may be en-
ployed to collect data
1t is the purpose of the commission
to inquire into the restrictions placed
upon Chinese and Japanese immigra-
ton, but it is not probable that it will
visit Asia.
