The return of the non -conformists' ed

radical changes greatly excited the liberal

make such changes. The lords have also
rejected the bill providing for the aboli-
tion of plural voting and amended the
trades bill.
In an interview with the correspondent
of the Publishers Press, King Leopold of
Belgium made an elaborate denial of the
revived charges of his cruelty and mis-

that probably there had been cases OF
crime and cruelty in the Congo, but he
insisted that every effort had been made
TO bring the guilty to justice and stop the
i'll treatment of natives. He said he was
poorer instead of richer because of his
Congo responsibilities.
