ions are contained in paragraphs as,
sessing duties on bituminous coal and
coke and agricultural implements, by
which these articles are given entry
free of duty when imported from coun
tries which permit free importation OF
these articles from America.

Drawback privileges are extended by
the bill, and the method of valuation
on articles upon which the tariff i'm

If more are sent, the resolution said,
necessity would compel the local asso-
Citations to return them at once to the
place from which they started.
The recovery of such persons, the
resolution decided, was as easily ac-
complished in other sections of the
country where they would be at homs
and among relatives as in this section.
Besides, the burden had become too
great for the local association to bear
further.

Only Interest the Subjects of the

Death May Seriously Affect
the Market.
Operation Will Be Performed On
Patient Tomorrow in Effort To
Prolong Life.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 13.-In the des-
perate battle 10 prolong King Leo
polds life Tor few days. DR. Thiriar
and DIR. Stienon announced today that
an operation would be performed TO-
morrow on the king, il his strength
permits. for hernia. The announce
ment followed an earlier report that
Leopold was dying and that the end
was expected within a few hours.
There is the greatest fear that the
operation will end fatally. but the
kings condition is such that his ply
sicians say there is no other recourse
Cardinal MERCER today administers
Ell extreme JUNCTION To the patient.
The king realizes that his end Is
near. and, according TO Prince Albert
Of Flanders, the heir apparent. his
cynicism has disappeared and his
whole thought is now centered on the
future OF his country. This change in
Leopolds mental condition is Consid-
cred significant.
The only interest the public shows
in Leopold's condition results from
the fear that his death may seriously
affect the market. There is not the
usual personal note of grief in the peo-
pies solicitudc, as the king has never
been a beloved ruler
Prince Albert is at the palace and
preparations are being made for his
immediate assumption OF administra-
tive duties. The cabinet is in practl-
oally continuous session.
