Gil, Of which he is an esteemed

Richmond Market Armory and ten
dered the steamer Latrobe for O. de-
ltghtful sail down Chesapeake Bay.
The courtesieS thus extended by the
council represented an expense of not
less than $1,000. In addition to this,
every business house on Druid Hill
avenue, from Eutaw street to the
strictly residential section, was Law
tshly decorated with flags and bunt-

Baltimore, Md, Aug .22.-The 9th
annual session ofStAe National Negro
Business League, which completed
Its work last night after three days
of strenuous activity, has attracted
more, attention and received a larger
degree OF earnest consideration than
any other organization cof our peo-
|ple that ever gathered in the city OF
Baltimore. The Welcome accorded
the 1900 .delegateH and visitors was
ardent In charaefeE and city-wtde in
scope, and white and colored citizens
wed with one 43n0ther IN extending
the glad hand. Much had been ex-
pected' because, or the reputation of,
Baltimore for sopeH4handed hospital
tty and generous hearts. but the cor
dlallty or the receRtion Of the league
and the magnitua8 ;of the prepara-
ttons that were mAde and carried out
with clock-like, preSision, more than
realized the hopes pf the most SAN

Brussels, Aug. lO.-The Chamber
OF Deputies today adopted the Congo
annexation treaty by 83 votes to SIS.
The Congo charter then passed it's
second reading, 80 to 49,. =.
The annexation of the Congo to
Belgium Is now assured and the per-
sonal rule Of King Leopold in Africa
Is drawing to close. The hope is
widespread that this will put an END
to the atrocities and maladministra-
tion In that part of the world, which
for years past has been a subject of
investigation and bitter complaint by
humanitarians all over the world.
Great Britain and the United
States had about decided to interfere
In the Congo unless the situation
there improved. Z.
The government has decided, in a
spirit Of conciliation, to accept the
action Of the chamber. The mem
bers; of the ministry will, therefore,
retain their portfolios.
King Leopold last year agreed to
abandon the crown domain and the
crown foundation to Belgium, stipu-
lating that Belgium should not only
assume all the Congo obligations,
amounting to 100000, but un-
dertake also to continue the Kings
usufruct In the Congo revenues dur
Ing his lifetime. Belgium was re-
quired specifically to respect the con-
cessions granted to two American
companies in 1906, in which Thomas
+. Ryan is interested. These stipu-
'lations were embodied in the final
draft Of the treaty.
Under the terms of the treaty the
Congo. revenues are charged with the
following annual allowances:
TO Prince Albert, son Of the Count
OF Flanders, brother Of King Leo
pold, $4,000; $4,000 to Princess
Clementine, the kings third daugh-
ter, and as a special token Of graft
tude to the king, the sum Of S1O.-
100000, In IS annual installments.
for his use In constructing hospitals
and schools and forwarding scientific
work in Africa. Furthermore, Belgi-
uIn must expend $9,OO0,0OO in work
for which contracts already have
been made.
In addition, King Leopold retains
in fee simple 100000 hectares Of land
at Mayumbe, for coffee and cocoa
growing experiments ,and during his
lifetime he is to enjoy his interests
in the Congo concessionary compa-
MES and the property in Belgium and
France, which he purchased out of
the funds Of the Congo foundation
Upon the death Of the king all this
property will revert to Belgium.
There still remains. open the i'm
portant question Of Belgium's ffnan-
cial responsibility.
1t ts pointed out, however, thai a
direct contradiction exists between
the treaty and the colonial bill as vo-
ted, the treaty shouldering the finan-
cial responsibility, while the bill re-
jects it. 1t is understood that the
government will make an effort IN
the senate to amend the bill SO as to
reconcile the. provisions of the two.

Who Mas Jack Robinson.

Jack Robinson has long been .
favorite synonym for rapidity OF
speech or action, but possibly few
people who use the phrase are aware
that Jack Robinson was real, live
person. F..
"As a politician says Lady Doro.
thy NeviH in her "Reminiscences"
r.John Robinson was great favorite
with George III. His political career
was long, for he was a member for
Harwich during twenty-six years, be-
ing on one occasion bitterly attacked
by Sheridan, who, denounoing bribery
and its instigators, replied to the cries
of Name! NameH by pointing 70
Robinson ON the Treasury bench, ex-
claiming at the same time, Yes. I
could name him as soon as I could say
Jack Robinson" and thus originated
the saying still current at the present
day"
