BARRED FROM HAGUE.
Important Questions Not AIO7ced to
Come Before Peace Congress.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature Of tho
misnamed Peace Congress, now drawing to
unsatisfactory close at The Hague, has been
the number of questions that have been
Guided from its discussions. Both this conven-
ton and the one which preceded It some seven
or eight years ago have afforded unrivalIed OPP
portunities for the settlement OF all sorts OF
troublesome problems and OF pending issues.

has ever been assembled q congress of such TIM

years must necessarily elapse before another
such gathering can be organized. II IS. there
fore matter for regret that this unique opp"r-

many controversies which have been carefully
eliminated from the programme. sand that tho
scope Of the activity Of the delegates should
have been restricted 70 its uarrowest limits. in
stead OF being broadened IL such fashion as

Among the reasons for this attitude on the

A DE PACHMANN PRANK.

Vladimir de Pachmann. who announces his fare
well American tour for the of 1gO7-'08, was
giving a recital recently in of the large Eng

gramme the audience camored mistakenly for
encores that the pianist found himself forced 10

done his duty, and ordered the piano attendant

A VAGUE HOPE.

Moreover, while distrustng Leopolds pledges
of reform, they have all along hoped that the
Belgian government would itself assume con-
troll OF the Congo Valley a Belgian colony,
subject 10 tho Brussels Parliament and thus
emancipate this unhappy corner OF the Dark
Continent from the despotio and greedy sway
OF the Belgian King who now reigns there as
an autocrat more tyrannical than any Oriental
potentate. A worry large portion OF the popula-
ton of Belgium is, however, to saddlIng
the kingdom with the Free State, TO acquir-
ing it under any conditions whatsoever and
Leopold is taking advantage of this TO delay
matters; whereas a speedy solution OF the entire
problem might have been found if the so-called

the sovereignty Of that portion Of the Dark

That the congress Of Algeciras failed to bring
about any Improvement IN the troubled state OF

appalling forms Of savagery are much moro
rampant there to-day than they were before

all their attendant horrors. flourish under tho
