Leopold, of Belgium, a S t r a n g e Combination of Man and Mpntter— • King W h o Boldly Defied Decencies and .Flaunted H i s Scandals In the Face of Mis Subjects—Mis Matred of Mis Daughters—The Horrors of the Congo, f r o m W h i c h Me Reaped B l o o d s t a i n e d Millions. When Leopold II., King of Bclgluin, died recently there passed from earth one of the most remnrkabie inonarchs of Europe—a man whose characteristics ran the entire gamut from kingly dignity to bruzen immorality, a man who was as famous for his busiues? ability as he was infamous for hie meretricious conduct. A giant In physique, a master of dlplomacy, a prodigious worker, a lover of his country and Us people, a monarch of mingled austerity and democracy, a faithless husband, a cruel and u n n a t u r a l father, a marvel of tendernest to the children of the streets and a monster of cruelty as the personal owner of the Congo region, a breaker of h e a r t s and the victim of h e a r t i dal to Europe. His t r e a t m e n t of his two elder d a u g h t e r s has been notorious. It has been suspected t h a t he squandered the fortune of his sister, the insane ex-Empreas Carlotta, o( Mexico. He stinted his youngest d a u g h t e r In the necessaries of her position, and his relations with the Baroness Vaughan, the daughter of a Janitor whom he raised to the nobility, amazed even the boulevardiers of P a r i s by their boldneas. Yet for twenty years a f t e r he became king the little t h a t was known of Leopold was favorable. He was the son of Leopold I., the ruler whoso influence over Queen Victoria of Great Britain was so valued by her a n d so beneficial to her people. Born In 1835, he was brought up so strictly that some moralists have s a ~ his later libertinism was in the n a t u r e of a reaction. He found his principal relaxation in travel. Before he was 21 he had visited a large part of Asia Minor, and a f t e r his m a r r i a g e with the Archduchess Marie Henrlette of Austria In 1853, he traveled to the Holy Land, to India and Chlnn. He was about to set off for Japan, which at t h a t time had only recently been opened to Europeans, when the death of his father, in 1865, forced him to assume the burdens of a king. For a t i m e men spoke well of the young king. His great height and military carriage made him a dignified figure. His family life seemed happy, and was, at any rate, not disturbed by open scandal, and tales were told of the laborious days he spent in his castle at Laeken, working over affairs of state. u in return for men. If they fall to supply them t h e i r villages are burned. Soldiers raised u n d e r ' such conditions and held in practical slavery have been armed with the best of rifles and ammunition and have been allowed to tyrannize over their fellow countrymen. On the slightest provocation they have been let loose to raid, pillage, mutilate and kill. T h e i r officers have had little control over them, and Bometimes, it has seemed, little desire to control them. But of all the abuses to which Irrefutablo testimony has been brought, the worst has been the exploitation of Leopold's monopoly in rubber.

But t h e worst of the system has been felt by the natives. On them has been Imposed a rubber tax to raise which h a s m e a n t almost a decimation of the population. The officials of the F r e e State have been egged on by a system of payment for results to exact from the miserable population every ounce t h a t Is possible.
