Roswell, N M. July 24-Captain
George Curry, the next governor Of
New Mexico. will, leave Roswell to-
morrow morning for Washington and
Oyster Bay, having been called east
to confer with President Roosevelt.
Governor Curry arrived in Roswell
today over the automobile line from
Torrance, accompanied by Captain
Charles Ballard and other friends. He
had expected to remain until next
Tuesday, then go to Santa Fe for his
Inauguration on August l. Shortly
after his arrival, however. he was no.
titled to come to Washington at once
and confer with the president. He
win therefore leave in the morning for
the east. going first to Washington
and then to Oyster Bay. The inaugu-
ration will of necessity be postponed
for several days. depending entirely
on the length of Governor Curry's
stay in the east.
A large public reception was given
here tonight In the Commercial club
by old-time friends of the new gov
ernor. who claims Roswell as his
home. Elaborate plans for the en-
tertainment of Captain Curry during
his stay here were nipped in the bud
by today's message, II being expected
that the governor will return direct
to Santa Fe. Captain Curry assured
his old-time friends here that he had
had no change Of heart toward them
during his long absence from New
Mexico. In discussing politics. he
said that he would vote for Roosevelt
for president, believing in the Roose-
velt policies, and that he will carry
out the ideas of the national admin

Brussels. July 24.--The close of
King Leopold's long struggle to stave
off the annexation of the Congo to
Belgium and to retain his personal
sovereignty over this rich and extern
sive African state Is foreshadowed in
the agreement reached on July IL be-
tween the Belgian and the Congo
governments celebrating the terms
upon which the Congo Free State
shall pass Into the possession of Bel
gium. This transfer will mark an inn
portant epoch for the Congo, as the
entire conduct of affairs, civil and
military, has been under the personal
direction Of King Leopold and cab
met Of Congo officers entirely sepa-
rate and independent Of Belgium,
whereas the new regime will make
the Belgian government instead Of
the king, individually responsible for
the conduct of the Congo affairs. The
British and American governments
have favored placing this govern
mental responsibility on Belgium, as
the officers have made It point that
there was great difficulty in dealing
with the Congo in view OF its anomal-
Gus position of the personal depend
ency Of the king. whereas foreign
governments could deal with It
through the usual diplomatic channels
IL the Belgian government assumed
responsibility for its administration.
The indications are that the whole
subject will be threshed out In parlia-
ment during the fall and that jan
uary or February. 1908, will see the
Congo Free state a colony of Belgium
instead Of a personal dependency of
King Leopold.
