Leopold of Belgium was dying. Tho
end is expected within "a hours.
Cardinal Mercier, today administered
extreme unction. The king realizes
that his end is near. The kings whole
thought is now centered on the fu-
ture OF his country.
DIR. Thiriar and DR.. Steinon are In
constant attendance. They have an
nounced that they are preparing to
operate on Leopold tomorrow for
strangulated hernia IL his strength
will allow it.
The only interest the public shows
in the kings condition, results from
the fear that his death may seriously
affect the market. There is not the
personal note of grief in the peo-
ple's solicitude as the king has never
been loved ruler. Preparations are
being made for the immediate assump-
tion OF Prince Albert. The cabinet

notable address in the Senate today,
Senator Rayner of Maryland, support
ed his resolution introduced few
days ago authorizing the president to
take all necessary steps for the cap
ture of President Zelaya OF Nicaragua
and his trial on the charge of murder.
Under te spell of the senator's elo-
quence, the gallery filled rapidly and
senators listened intently as Rayner
argued that it was both the duty and
right of this government to seize
zelaya and try him.
IA great crime has been committed"
he said, against American citizen
ship, which should not be allowed to
lumber. The guilt does not rest upon
the people of Nicaragua and therefor
to punish them would not subserve the
purpose of my resolution. This reso-
luton is directed against the dictator
of that country individually and l
want it entirely separated from any
proposed step we may take in refer

qua"
Rayner said that Cannon and Gross,
fought with the revolutionists. They
were simply when captured, prisoners

| law Of civilized nations now forbids
the killing or wounding Of prisoners Of
war. He asserted that the question

AT the time of the Hungarian re
