SPEAKING FOR

Secretary Discusses Visit
 of George to Germany
His Nilsson Merely That of a Student but He is at Liberty to Talk.

Berlin. Aug 2O-The Tageblatt to- day publishes a dispatch from Frank fort. in which Mir Shendo. secretary to David Lloyd George. chancellor of the British eXchequer.> speaking in the name of the minister. is quoted as saying that although the main tenance of peace between Great Brit ain and Germany always will be an important question, yet in this visit to Germany the only official object of George is to study social and po- litical institutions. The minister the statement continues, carries no auth oriZation from the British cabinet to make proposals relative to naval ar mament or to held any verbal nego- tiations on the subject, but were anything of that n3 ture suggested from the German side he would en- ter the discussion willingly. Shendo said George say no reason why dele gates representing Great Britain and Germany could not meet with the idea of bringing about a limitation of armaments.

IEOPOLD'S CRAFT,

Brussels, Aug. 20.-The passage of the Congo treaty by the chamber of deputies today means that the annex ation of the state to Belgium is now practically assured, as the senate and King Leopold are ready to endorse the bill. The personal rule of King LeO- pOld in Africa is now drawing to a close. In the future he will have nothing to do with the state which is to be administered by Belgium. Hope is widespread that there will now be an end to the atrocities and malad- ministration in that part of the world. Members of the cabinet and the king held a long conference this afternoon. after which it was officially given out that in order to avoid danger of a col lapse in the annexation movement. the government had decided in a spirit of conciliation to accept the action of the chamber with regard to Congo fi- nances. The members of the ministry will therefore retain their portfolios.
 The situation regarding the annex ation was thrown into great confusion last year by the. action of Leopold in withdrawing the control of the crown uOlllilli- tllt lltlifISL Isill bL OOLEOs from the regular Congo administration in order to prevent the passage of the domain to Belgium should annexation be cOnsummated. The opposition be- came so great that in February Leo pold changed his attitude and agreed to abandon the crown domain to Bel gium stipulating that Belgium should not only assume all Con- go obligations. amounting to $21, ,00O,- 900, but undertake to continue the kings usufruct in the CongO's rev enues during his life time. Belgium was required to respect the conces- siOns granted to two American com panies in 1906 in which Thomas F. Ryan is interested.
 Under the terms of the treaty Con- go's revenues are charged with the fol lowing annual allowances: S24, ,00O to Prince Albert, nephew of King Leo pOld: S15,OOO to Princess Clementine. the kings third daughter, and as an

THE FRISCO ANARCHISTS.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 20-The Ala meda county grand jury today return ed indictments against John and Peter Claudianes and Felix Paudevaris charging them with placing explosives under building with intent to demol- ish it, which under a section of the penal code of the state is made a felony.
 The two Claudianeses have been un- der arrest for some time, suspected of having dynamited the residence in Oakland in which James l.. Gallagher and members of his family were at the time and which wrecked the building, but did no injury to any of the in mates.
 The indictments were brought in this afternoon after considerable evil dence had been laid before the grand jury and were placed on a secret file. They were made returnable before Judge Melvin of Oakland, who placed the amount of bail in each case at $40,O0O
 Paudevaris is not in custody, his whereabouts being unknown.

, committee not to invite Foraker to speak at the opening of the national
 campaign at Youngstown on Septem-
 Der ,. He said:
 Aside from the fact that We had many campaign openings in ohio with out our senior senator taking part, it can at once be understood that a very important question of party policy arose this year. Everyone can appre- 'ciate the embarrassing situation. For aker, in the chamber of commerce speech delivered in Cincinnati only a short time ago. made a severe attack upon the policies of Roosevelt How could the party, which intends to wage a fight standing squarely on these policies as declared in the plat form. consistently invite him to take the most conspicuous part in the cam paign? It was practically impossible and most of Forakers friends see it that way.
 will yield to no one in my admira- tion for Foraker. The splendid ser vices he has heretofore rendered in be- half of the republican party cannot and must not be forgotten and no one shall regret more than myself if he finds it impossible to serve the party during this important campaign"

King Leopold Submits to the Weight
 Public Sentiment
But He FOrcibly Holds His Grip On Vast Ac ,c Land and Secures Lie Revenues Amounting to Many Millions of Dollars.

Brussels. Aug. 2O.-After several months of bitter struggle, the chamber of deputies today adopted the Congo annexation treaty by S3 votes to 55, and although today's action probably will insure a solution of the Congo problem, there still remains open the important question of Belgiums finan- cial responsibility.
 This action on the part of the cham Der had not been expected and at the last moment it nearly caused a col lapse of the cabinet. During the first reading of the colonial bill which pro vides for the administration of the Congo state and which with the treaty was adopted today, Herr WOestee, leader of the right, secured the adop tion of an amendment relieving Bel gium of the responsibility of guaran teeing payment of interest on the Con go debt, but yesterday the government made a determined effort to secure. a restoration of the stipulation that Bel gium would make advances to Congo in case of necessity. The government was defeated in this, and it was gen orally believed the ministers would be forced to resign.
