Brussels, Aug. 20.-The chamber of
deputies today adopted the Congo
treaty by 345 to 244 votes. The Congo
treaty bill passed its second reading
9 to 48.
The ministry has not yet announced
whether it will resign as a result Of
this failure Of the chamber to endorse
Belgium's responsibility for the Congo
department..
The passage of the Congo treaty
by the chamber means that the annex;
alton 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
pcld in Africa is now drawing to q
close ID the future he will have moth
irg to do with the state which is to be
administered by Belgium and the
hope is widespread that there will now
be an end to the atrocities In this part
of the world. which for years past has
been q subject Of bitter complaint by
3humanitarians all over the world.
The situation regarding the annexa-
tion Of the Congo independent state
was thrown into great confusion
last year by the action Of King Leo
pold in withdrawing the control .. the
crown domain, the richest part OF the
Congo. from the regular Congo admin

tion was bitterly resented by the
friends Of annexation in parliament as
q usurption Of Belgium's natural her
itage and the opposition became 60
great that in February Of this year
King Leopold changed his attitude on
this matter and agreed to abandon
the crown domain and the crown foun-
dation to Belgium. stipulating that Bel
gium should not only assume all the
Congo obligations. amounting to $21,-

BLOOMFIELD HAS
STRONG SEM|PRO
BASEBALL CLUB
Some of Its Players Are Fast
Enough for League
Company.

The semi-professional baseball club
of Bloomfield is playing an article of
ball this season that resembles the
brand dealt out by professionals.
Away to a flying start, the club is
making it's presence felt. With three
men hitting around the 400 mark and
fielding in the neighborhood of 1000,
and Pitcher Simbrook twirling winning
ball, it is little wonder that the Bloom
field team ranks with the best.
Among the stars on the Bloomfield
nine is Pitcher Simbrook, who has
played with several of the best clubs in
the State, and is now pitching good ball
for the Bloomfield Club.
Simbrook recently held the heavy
hitting Nassau Club, of Princeton,
down to two hits and struck out eleven
men. When you take into consideration
that the Nassau Club beat the university
nine four times in practise games, Sim
must have the goods.
Left Fielder Egler played formerly
with Clifton A. c., Chatham and Or
ange Valley. Egler is in great form
this season, and, in the judgment of
many, is one of the fastest all-around
players in this vicinity. He is hitting
n pail at a 400 clip, n his fielding
average for the season is 1000.
Billy Burdette, present catcher of the
Bloomfield Club. is undoubtedly one Of
the best in semi-professional ranks IN
the State. Burdette has played with
several teams in the vicinity, the old
Irvington Council Club. Irvington
Lackawanna team. Orange Valley and
at present with his home club, Bloom
field. Besides being a great catcher.
Billy is batting above 400 this season,
and is a fast man on the bases.
Eddie O'Neil. like Burdette, is a
Bloomfield boy, and played with the
Watsessing Club before playing with
Bloomfield. O'Neil is a heady player,
is well up to the 400 mark in batting
and as a third sacker has but few
equals in this vicinity.
