TREATY OF LONDON 1881.
Pact Wherein til. Neutrality of Belgium Was Defined

all in revolt. The Gar, alarmed at
what he considered the spread of
revolutionary spirit, called upon the
other powers to interfere and prom
Used contingent of 10000 troops.
Prussia massed her troops on her west
ern frontier and France announced
that any movement of Prussian troops
into Belgium would be met by sim
liar movement on the part of the
French. A conference of The five great
powers was then sitting n London to
settle the question of Greece. France
proposed that the Belgian question be
submitted to the conference. The
Polish instruction, which now broke
out, gave the Gar all he could attend
to at home, Austria was harassed by
the italian question and Prussia was
fully occupied in guarding her eastern
frontiers. SO England and France
were allowed to have their way, which
was the way of Belgian Independence.
Failed to Settle Trouble.
The congress of London issued sew
eral protocols intended to settle mat
ters but failed to do so. One STUN
bling block was Luxemburg, which Hol-
land refused to give UP and Belgium
claimed; deputies from that duchy sit
ting in the new national assembly.
Prince Leopold of Coburg was offered
the Belgian crown but refused to ac-
cept it until matters were settled more
to the liking of the Belgians. The
Dutch refused to evacuate Belgium
and a French army marched in, the
Dutch retiring before it.
On November Is, 1881, the represen-
tatives of the great powers and Bel
GUM signed the treaty of London. By
this instrument part of Luxembourg
was given to Holland and the rest left
in the Belgian hands professionally"
Belgium, it may be remarked con-
tinued to hold the duchy until 1889.
The province Of Limburg was given to
Holland and the boundaries Of Belgium
established practically as they are to-
day. The king of the Belgians was
recognized and the neutrality of the
kingdom solemnly guaranteed.
The Gar would not ratify this
treaty, although his ENJOYS had signed
It, until the next May, when he did SO.
But now King William of Holland
baked. He refused to evacuate Ant
werp, which was besieged and taken
by the French thereupon 1t was not
until 1889 that King William decided
to accept fate. Having done Sd he
abdicated and the Belgian question
was settled to reappear in more
tragic form SO years later.

The treaty by which the present
kingdom of Belgium was created and
its neutrality guaranteed was signed
at London on November 10, 1881, by
the representatives of Austria, Prus-
sia, France, England and Russia. 1t
was. in fact, not merely one scrap OF
parser" which the Germans tore up
when they invaded Belgium in 1914,
but two-for this neutrality guaran-
teed by the treaty of 1881 was re-
affirmed by Germany at the beginning
of the Franco-Prussian war Of 1870 at
the demand of England. The congress
of Vienna, after Napoleonic wars, had
constituted Belgium and Holland one
country under the House of Orange.
But the Belgians were never content to
be under the crown of Holland and
when the French revolution of 1880
which placed Louis PHILIPPE on the
throne took place the Belgians were
inspired to a successful revolt which
was directly impelled by the events
of July in Paris. The laws of Holland
were generally unfavorable to the Bel
gians; the Belgians were not proper
tionately represented in the legislature
and there was, besides, the difference
In language and religion of the two
sections. Although the Belgians spoke
French, Dutch was made for them the
official language of the courts and only
Dutch was taught in the schools. Long
before the revolution in Paris anaagi-
tation had been going on for separate
administration for the Belgians,
Began to Shout for France.
On August 5, 1880, while the people
of Holland were supposed to be cele-
brating the kings birthday, revolu-
tionary piece was performed in the
opera house in Brussels. Stirred by
the dramatic representation the audi
ence began to shout for France and
against Holland. The cries were heard
in the streets and repeated and riot
ensued. Then some one hoisted over
the city hall the old standard of
Brabant and the riot turned into a
revolution. In few hours Brussels
was in the hands of the revolution
aries. The revolution spread to the
country like wildfire. The revolution
lists made a proposal to the king that
he should submit to the states-general
proposition for separate governments
FOR Belgium and Holland under the
House Of Orange. The king promised
and fulfilled his promise

sished in Brussels which declared Bel

coon MONEY IN RITTER FAT

There are times when the weekly
tions located in Wa-Keeney is larger
than it is averaging just now but
there are few weeks or few days
when the cash received from the ship
mepts is greater than it is just now.
The World man made the rounds of
the four stations Monday to learn the
price paid for cream last Saturday and
the amount shipped from each station
Butter fat drew seventy cents per
pound Saturday and there were 1865
pounds of it shipped out. This
means that the farmers received
$965.50 for their butter fat besides
that received by the independent ship
pers. 7 his is not the business for the
week but for one day, but shows that
| the cream business is something big
| just now. This season has been very
/ favorable to the dairymen of this part
of Kansas. There is a good supply of
rough feed and plenty of wheat past
ure which has made it possible to keep
the cows in the best possible produc-
| ing condition The price per pound of
butter fat has been high and milking
| cows has been a very profitable bust
| ness. With a few more silos and a
better supply of dairy cattle Western
