Reforms in the Congo.

King Albert Of Belgim has approved
the reforms proposed by his ministry
in the administration of the Belgian

abolition of the system of collecting
taxes through forced labor, under
which frightful cruelties have been
perpetrated in the past. Hereafter
taxes are to be paid in money, not by
labor, and are to be reduced in
amount; native officials are to be sub,
