 Although every one of these subjects has been of importance enough to call for general public attention and much agitation, no one has created more bit ter feelings than the liquor question.

 LEOPOLD.
GREETED WITH ENTHUSIASM
Streets of Brussels Throneed With Cheering People as the New Rules and Queen Elizabeth Entered ths Capital.


 Brussels, Dec 24.--Another young monarch was added to the reignine sovereigns of Europe today when Al bert l. ascended the throne of Bel gium. The official ceremony was brilliant and the popular acclaim genuine.
 Yesterday all Belgium mourned To-day sombre symbols of mourning had been replaced with the tri-colored orifiamme. Everywhere there was merry-making. and joyous cries filled the air
 The scene in the House of Parlia. ment where the oath to the throne was taken was impressive with it's set. ting of royalty. Here the new mon. arch made an address destined. by it's democratic tone and unequivocaI ex. pressions on the great question of the Belgian Congo, to attract the atten- tion of the world.
 Colonization should mean ciyiliza- tion, said the king. The nation de- sired policy of humanity and prog. ress in the Congo, and no one had a right to doubt her promise that such a policy would be maintained
 At daybreak the streets were again crowded with thousands who sought positions from which they might view the entry to the capital of Albert and Elizabeth. Windows. balconies and roofs were filled and standing room on wagons. tables, chairs and ladders was sold by enterprising speculators at extravagant prices.
 Preceded by Queen Elizabeth and the two little princes, Leopold and Charles, who occupied the royal coach, Albert made joyous entry' to the city. The king was mounted on spirited charger and made a striking picture in the gold and white uniform of general. He repeatedly acknowledged the plaudits of the peo- pie and smiled as shower of flowers fell upon the queens coach.
 The arrival of the queen at the hall of deputies was the signal for an out burst of applause, while the demon. stration that followed in honor of the king continued for many minutes. A feeble attempt of the Socialists to raise counter cries were drowned in shouts of Tong live the king
 Standing before the assemblage of brilliantly uniformed princes and for eign representatives. bishops and sen ators, Albert, In another setting. would have passed readily for young college professor addressing his class
 In an agreeable voice and speaking deliberately the new monarch pledged himself to work for the social ad vancement of the nation and the ele vation of the moral and intellectual standard of the people. He wouli seek. he said. to develop the systefl of popular education and labor UT ceasingly for the general wellbeing q the masses.
 He paid high tril ute to Leopold H. and the latter's policy in opening tho Congo to Belgian activity. He out lined program to humanity and progress and was greeted with q storm of applause as he declared proudly that Belgium had always kept it's promises and no one had a right to doubt It's word.

THREE OFFICIALS KILLED AND ONE DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED
 IN FOREIGN LANDS.
ALL FOR POLITICAL REASONS
Korean Premier Stabbed to Death at SeouI--Russian Official Blown to
 Pieces at St. Petersburg--English Magistrate at Bombay, India, Slain.

A remarkable series of political as sassinations and attempted assasisna tions of personages high in office is reported from widely separated points,
 In Seoul. Korea, the prime minister of the Korean cabinet was stabbed to death as an apparent result of the intense feeling in Korea against Jap anese influence.
 In St Petersburg. the chief of the secret police. Colonel Karpoff. was blown to pieces by the explosion of bomb. supposedly thrown by an an archist.
 At Bombay, British India. the chief magistrate of the Nasik, Arthur M. T. Jackson, was asassinated by a native, for revenge and presumably as part of the seditious movement against British official authority.
 An anarchist in Bucharest shot and dangerously wounded the prime min lster of Roumania.
 In each of the countries the govern ing authority is menaced by a dap- gercus element directed against the existing regime. It is not considered possible that the assassinations could have been prearranged, although such thing has been suggested.

 1 An Indian Magistrate Killed. Bombay, British India, Dec. 23.-Ar- thur Mason Tippetts Jackson, chief magistrate of Nasik. in the presidency of Bombay, was assassinated by a native while attending theatrical performance last night.
