ed Americans by Zelaya seems likely to
come to a focus thru tie advent here
of the Hiram. steamer owned by the
Nicaraguan Fruit Company, recently
organized at New Orleans for the pur-
pose of entering the Nicaraguan fruit
trade. 1t has permit from Estrada
allowing this.
The Blueflelds Fruit Company. under
a concession from Zelaya, has the ex-
elusive right to navigate the Escondido
river. and 1t is probable that the local
agent of the Bluefelds Company will
lodge formal protest with American
Consul Moffat against violation of the
original concession.

Ottawa, Ontario. Dec. 17.-"Captain

This, in substance. is the statement

The letter. Captain I3ernier states, is
from Captain b. S. Osbon. of New

TROUBLES NOT ENDED.
Zeiaya's Arrest and Punishment to Be
Demanded BY u. S.

Washington, Dec. 17.-The passing of
zelaya as the dominant influence for
evil in Central America, and especially
in Nicaragua. is regarded here as a
long step in the direction of better
things. The government does not take
kindly to the movement to make Mad
riz president, altho it is improbable the
United States will take active meas
ures to prevent his installation as pres
ident, in the event of his being regu-
larly placed in temporary power and
later fairly elected. The murder of
Cannon and Groce is matter entirely
separated from the other questions in
volved, and at the proper time when
the proper government has been in
stalled, the United States will demand
reparation, and that demand prob
ably will involve the arrest and pun
ishment of Zelaya

HAS RULED SINCE 1865.
Successfully Administered His Little
Realm despite Shortcomings.

successfully Administered His Little
Realm despite Shortcomings.
King Leopold was the ruler of Bel
gium since the death of his father, who
was King Leopold I, on Dec 10, 1865
In spite of the open and glaring irreg-
ularities of his private life, the king
Of the Belgiums was successful ad-
ministrator of his little realm.
He set UP the policy of England as
the model for Belgium: and from the
moment he became ruler he never
ceased to urge the doctrine of coloni-
zation and extension of trade. thru a
merchant marine and thru sending
samples of Belgium manufacture to all
parts Of the world. This country is
known as the laboratory of Europe"
Belgium was the first country in
Europe to build railways, and the king
urged their prolongation to connect
with the merchant marine between
Antwerp and the Congo In the early
years of his reign he devoted much at
tention to municipal improvements.
and BRUSSELS, Ghent Antwerp, Namur,
Mons. Liege, Charleroi, and Verviers
bear testimony to his activity in this
respect.
III 1000 belgium was on the verge
of an overturning which would have
swept the monarch from his throne
and the monorchy out Of existence 1t
was delicate situation and called for
the utmost diplomacy and skill. That
Leopold was equal to the occasion sur
prised nobody that knew his fine power
as statesman and prince.
Adhered TO His Promises.
Not once did the king oppose the
radicals. He appeared to float with
the tide Of revolution. He yielded pro-
gressively to the demands for reform,
made promises which he knew would
disarm the more radical element and
leave them powerless with the people.
And more than all the rest, he kept his
contracts. He insistently fought the
conservative parliament and in the
end forced 1t to surrender to the people
an equitable measure Of power From
that day forward the throne was
strengthened and Leopold became ia
vorite with the people.
The king was born in Brussels on
April 9, 1885, and on Aug. 20, 1853. he
married the ArchdAchess Marie of
Austria who died In 1902 Hour chill

monarch was born on April 8, 1875 and
on Oct. 2, 1900, married Princess Eliz-
abeth of Bavaria. They have three
children, Prince Leopold, years old:
Prince Charles, years old; and Prin-
cess Marie Jose, who was born on Aug.
4, 1906
prince Albert is one of the most pop
ular members of the reigning house of
Belgium His wife is equally popular,
their home life being such as to at
tract the admiration and love of the
people. Prince Albert has travelled ex-
tens1vely and is man of affairs.
In appearance he is strikingly like
the late king, but their dispositions and
temperanents have always been in
marked contrast. Prince Albert has
been a great student of politics and
economics and frequently has lectured
on these subjects. To broaden his
grasp of the affairs of the world he
visited the United States and other
countries, always studying and always
adding to his store of knowledge and
philosophy.
Married to Baroness Vaughan.
Chief interest in the city last night
centered in the newspaper stories of
the marriage of the king and Baroness
Vaughan. 1t will be recalled that their
marriage often was reported and as Of
ten denied, but the statement now is
ascribed to. the clergyman who admin
istered extreme JUNCTION to Leopold.
This is regarded by most people as set
tling the question. The clergyman is
lt0uofe0 as saving
Il assured myself beforehand that the
kings position with regard to the
church was perfectly satisfactory. I
would never administer extreme .unc-
tion to anybody. not even a king, if his
life was not in accordance with the
churca's commands ~
This is taken to prove. that King
Leopold and Baroness Vaughan were
regularly married. 1t is held, however,
that their marriage does not establish
any claim of their two sons to the
throne, altho it may determine the dis
tribution of the kings private fortune.
Baroness Vaughan frequently visited
the palace yesterday.

actually prevailed He shut his ears To
the cry of the Blntus' blood and his
eyes to the evidence presented by mis-
siora-ies end travelers-even by some
of his Officials,
Leopold possessed two essential en-
joy,nents of life an iron constitution
and complete Indifference to the opin-
ions of others.
Every day he read a pile of newspa-
pers in three languages, and unex-
nGrSatcta, i;;s per-. tao. Hh knew to a dot
all that his critics said of him, he knew
what Emperor Williams latest excite
ment was and how the American mill
Ilionaire made his money. and he read
carefully all the denunciations of his
African policy.
At Laeken he dug and hoed and
raked and planted, and pruned his pri-
vate garden with his own hands. Be-
sides knowing great deal about plants
he cultivated wide and practical
knowledge of machinery. Unlike King
Edward, who prefers a cigar and leis-
ure on the back seat of an automobile,
and who is always attended by sec
ond car full of tools and mechanics,
Leopold was an all around motorist.

marriage year ago OF King Leopold
and Baroness Vaughan. Two sons are
said to have been born from this union
