North (ieor^ia Times ______ TIIVRSDAV JUNE 11 , *8@*« The ‘ ongo State. Tile Belgian legislature Bel¬ au t homed the king ot the gians to adopt the title of so v ereign ot the Congo state; but t-ueh sovereignty is strictly of a personal nature. Congo does not thereby become a part of Belgium, or in any manner de¬ pendent upon or connected with that kingdom. The new state is to be ijjfco]) y independent awl but the Belgian kmj GO descendants will be lings © O ongo; and it the ra O 3 d some day turn Btlcium into a republic, or sho ! annex it, LsQQr old I . or his^children would have Congo to fall back upon. Beyond that Congo is to be no moro Belgian than French, Brit¬ ish or Ame ican. No governor has as yet been appointed for the new state, and the stories that Henry M. Stanley is to be tne local ruler may or -may not be realized. It is certain that some strong hand is needed in Congo, for the state has only a small fighting force, and it is surrounded by powerful neighbors. On the north is an immense Moham¬ medan population, led by wily Arabs, who have doubtless heard before this how El Mah di held the British at bay. Soon or late the Mohammedans of the Upper Congo will at¬ tempt to overthrow the Chris¬ tian Congo that Stanley has founded. The best safeguard that the new state can have is found in the eaily Christiani¬ zation of its immense popula¬ tion. Once Chi istianized the —©ativea^of LJpqfQ <$fl,)je trusted to oppose the Mohammdans, whereas if they are left iu their present condition the steady march of the religion of the prophet in Africa will reach them, and perhaps find them ready converts. This would imperil the independence and .very existence of the Congo state, On the south is a powerful African king, the Muata Yanvo king of Lunda. Three hundred chiefs, some of them living hun¬ dreds of miles away from the capital of Lunda, pay tribute to Lunda’s powe’ful lord. Stanley was careful not to of¬ fend the king of Lunda, His domain is immense, ami in ev pry part of it his will is su¬ preme. He is a pagan, and the Congo state may operate as a breakwater to the oncom ing t : de of Mohammedanism. Very little of Lunda has been explore^, and the world is at present awaiting the outcome of the attempt of the king of Portugal t > open Lunda to commerce. A Portugese officer, with five hundred native car¬ riers, has been dispatched to the Muata Yanvo. bearing pres¬ ents of great value and striking beauty. Upon the success of his mission wifi depend the op¬ ening of the southern affluents of the Congo, Congo is not beyond all dan¬ gers. The people need mission¬ aries, and the state needs a lar¬ ger force than it can at present command. The genius and force of Stanley can accomplish a greet deal, but no man single handed can successfully con¬ tend with either Mobammtdan ism or the powerful king, if eM ti» r become unfriendly and aggressive.—Constitution.

JUvs. Washington, June 5. -The delegates to the conference of charities and corrections to the number of 350 ladies and gen ¬ tlemen called upon President Cleveland at half past one to day, and were received by him in the east room. The dele¬ gates were introduced to the president by Commissioner Ed¬ monds, of this district. There were no speeches, but the pres¬ ident took occasion to express to-several of the delegates his warm interest in the reformato¬ ry works to which they are devoting their time. The re¬ ception over, the delegates took carriages to visit the district jail, alms house and government insane asylum. The two great parties are btJgining to musfcer their forces preparatory to next a utumn’s campaign in New York. A governor is to be elected and it is thought that the election will tell largely on the next presidential election. -New York is always considered a pivotal state and no doubt her vote decided the last presiden¬ tial election. General Henry R Jackson, the new minister to Mexico, has arrived at his post of duty. The Americans of tbe City of Mexico propose to entertain him at a banquet, at which the president and cabinet and the diplomatic corps will be p esent ; _ Earthquakes in the vale of Castnere, continue at intervals, sometimes lastiug three hours. Many villages have been de¬ stroyed and st’ ange noises have been hea d underground, that make the people frantic with fear. The Dakota people have a way of their own of settling up their affairs.
