Will Be Frendless
and Alone
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kas., Feb. 23.-W. J..
Bryan addressed an audience of men
only here this morning which COM
pletely filled the city auditorium. even
TO standing room.
The speech was one of his regular lee
lures, 'The Prince of Peace"
Mr.. Bryan left for Lawrence. where
,ie spoke tonight under the auspices of
the Y. M. C. A. in the Kansas univer-
sity gymnasium. He was guest of
W. r. Stubbs, candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for governor, who
is also the president of the Lawrence
y. M. c. A.
In his speech here Mr.. Bryan touched
on the money question, and said:
"A short time ago the Christian
churches were in big controversy over
whether or not they should accept
money from some of the great finan-
ciers. Many men spend part of their
lives getting money, a second part try
ing to keep other men from trying to
get it away from them and, recently, a
third part in trying to give it away.
'T think the time is coming, and
coming soon, when many of these great
financiers who have got their money by
dishonest means will be made the most
lonesome men on earth by being left
alone, without friends and with moth
ing but this money"

cry stable of George Young, from

Situation Regarding Annexation of the
Congo Free State Causes
Cabinet Crisis in
Belgium

BY Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 23.-The situation
in the matter of annexation to Belgium
of the Congo Free State is again as
suming a disquieting aspect. 1t is said
that King Leopold has taken back all
his fair promises and now demands
that the special fund which was to re-
place the crown domain be placed un-
der his control and not under that of
parliament as originally agreed. In ad-
oltion he asks that $50000,0 900 be placed
at his disposal to carry out various
projects.
1t is understood the government Is
firmly resisting these demands and is
determined, if it becomes necessary, to
resign, and under the circumstances as
Leopold could not find any one to form
new ministry, it will mean elections
that will be bound to result in the re-
turn of a majority most hostile to the
king.
The Petit Bleu, while admitting that
there have been exchanges in the last
few days between King Leopold and
Premier Schollaert on the question of
annexation, says they have not re-
suited in settlement of the matter, ow-
ing to inability to agree on special
works TO be executed out of the reve-
nue. from the special fund, and denies
that a ministerial crisis is imminent.
