United States, was launched from the
yard of the New York Shipbuildins
company at Cadmen, N. j., yesterday

persons, who crowded the docks and
every vantage point near the yard.

enthusiastic than Miss Spry, who with
large bunch of American Beauty
roses in her arm, received the congrat-
ulations of those about her.
Among those on the platform were
representatives of the navy depart
ment, Governor Spry, and the mem
bers of his family, a congressional
delegation including the members from
Utah, representatives of the Utah leg
islature, and many guests from New
York, Philadelphia and Washington.

FORMAL ENTRANCE

Brussels, Dec 24.-Albert l., king OF
beth, made a state entry into the cap
ital from Laeken yesterday morning.
Cannon doomed a royal salute, church
bells rang merrily and hundreds or
thousands Of loyal subjects lined the
route of the regal march crying Long

BETH"
When the procession arrived at the
chamber, where the oath of ascension
was to be taken, the successor of Leo
pold II. was given notable reception
by the assembled senators and depu-
ties A feeble attempt of the social
lists to make a republican demonstra-
ton failed miserably. At every dis
cheering drowned the voices of the
malcOntents.
Tribute to Leopold.
King Albert's speech from the
throne was an eloquent tribute to
Leopold I. and to his uncle, the late
King Leopold II. He declared that
the latter had performed a prodigious
work in Africa, with the constant
thought of enriching the nation and
increasing the economic resources or
Belgium. The new monarch expressed
his gratitude for foreign sympathy at
the death of Leopold, saying that the
special missions dispatched to yester-
days funeral testified to the admira-
tiOn felt in other countries for the
high qualities of the late king. Turn
ing to the subject of Belgium's future,
King Albert said:
Pledge for the Congo.
1--WE must continue our unshakable
attachment to constitutional liberty
and the love of independence, and
thus hold sacred our patrimony while
advancing toward the peaceful con-
quests in the fields of labor and sci
ence.
I'm the Congo the nation wishes a
policy of humanity and progress en-
forced. The mission of colonization
cannot be other than mission of high
civilization. Belgium always has kept
her promises, and when she engages
to apply in the Congo a policy worthy
of her, none has a right to doubt her
word"
Last night the city was alive with
merry-making, contrasting with de-
preston and signs Of mourning fol-
lowing the death of Leopold Explana-
ton is found in the popularity Of Al
bert and Elizabeth and the high posi-
ton they hold in the esteem of ma
tons.
