KING LEOPOLD NEAR DEATH.
Aged Monarch Is Making a Desperate
Fight With Odds Against Him.

Brussels, Dec. 13.-Leopold II, |
King of the Belgians, tonight is max
ing desperate fight with death, and
the odds are strongly against the
aged monarch. AS a last resort the
surgeons knife will be tried tomor-
row. If the operation is successful,
King Leopold may live. If it fails
the end is inevitable. All will de-
pend upon the Kings strength and
vitality, which are fast ebbing
Rheumatism has already conquered
the aged and wasted frame. Dropsy
has developed and an obstruction of
the intestine, which must be removed,
has greatly aggravated his condition.
The general opinion is that the
King will not survive the operation.
Indeed he may die at any moment
The monarch himself is rather opti-
mistic, and today exclaimed to his
physician: Operate, and the sooner
the better But he added with a
wan, wistful smile: Perhaps, doctor,
the long, long journey is at hand
King Leopold is still as lucid Of
| intellect as ever. This masterful
mind, which conceived and carried
out the gigantic Congo project and
| reused the whole world into bitter
indictment and discussion, calmly di-
rected what seems to be the final
| chapter in his spectacular career
The picture was pathetic enough

tiers by a tragic succession of events
