men. like bees in hive. preparing for
the event to which Chicago. society has
been looking forward for months.
A day earlier than was deemed pos
sible the theater began putting on it's
gala dress. Like an immense stage be-
ing set for some great spectacle the
big building hustled with activity.
Shops and studios thruout the city yes
terday began sending decorations of
green, cream white and gold-the work
of weeks-that will form the back
ground for tonights ball.
The elaborate scale on which the
decorations were planned made an
early start necessary. The original
intention was to begin the work this
morning, but the committees were in
formed that two days would be re-

Brussels, Dec. 15.-King Leopold's
private secretary, Baron Goffinet, de-
elared this morning that the condition
ef the royal patient is not very sat
kfoctory.
The condition of King Leopold took a
h1rn for the worse this afternoon. Dur
ing the night he had held his own, ap-
parently. In the middle Of the after
noon word came from the sick cham
Der that his majesty had suffered re-
Rpse.
This evering there appears to be no
Immediate danger of death, but the
king experienced a return of the in
estinal complication and it is feared
his will initiate against the ultimate
mccess of yesterdays operation.
Military Law Drastic.
Yesterday was doubly momentous in
Belgian history. In the presence of
Prince Albert, who has a hereditary
right to a seat, the senate adopted,
with the concurrence of the chamber
q military lay which vitality concerns
the country which has aroused in
tense discussion and which once threat
eueu TO OvSrCurn the CaDlnet. The
measure involves the complete reversal
of the system of recruiting the army.
1t provides for the service of one son
In each family. instead of general re-
cruitment by lot, but, more important
the recruits are forbidden to hire sub
stitutes.
So far as the kings illness is con-
cerned. evidences of the indifference
of the people with reference to a
change in sovereigns are seen. The
newspapers are restricting themselves
to brief accounts of the development
of the monarch's malady, and discreet
illusions to the kings domestic trage-
dies. but they make practically no COM
ment on Leopold himself or the destin-
les of the country
The Belgians, however, are loyal to
the king and have the greatest admira-
tion for his great intellect and genius.
While they do not forget that Leopold's
administration in the Congo created a.
Storm Of international accusation and
almost endangered the country's honor,
hll parties are now united on the Congo
policies, as they regard the Congo in
dependent state as an immense field
tor Belgian enterprise.

Indianapolis. Dec. 15-Leslie M.
Shaw. former secretary of the treas
hry, speaking to about 400 business
men at the board of trade last night,
bn the proposed central hank said:

tract or expand our currency at will,

corporation at pleasure
"But, lest it be charged that am ap-
pealing to popular prejudice, am will
Ing to go on record that if we are to
have q central bank shall welcome
control by the Standard Oil Company
DR. by the United States Steel corpora
hon. tho preferably by both combined.
This Is not based on personal friend
ship. but wholly on the question OF fit
hess for the task"
