A dispatch from the Central News Rome correspondent says the pope has notified the papal representatives at Brussels that King Leopold, who died early today, was reg ularly married to Baroness Vaughan at San Remo, Italy, In 10S.

"What are the people of Oregon going to do about It? Are they, going to in vite Immigration the coming year, or are they going to let things take their own course? Its' up to the people." This was the question James J. Hill, railroad builder and magnate of the Hill interests propounded last night In an interview with The Journal, when touch ing upon the subject of Immigration. Intimating pointedly that, jiow Is the time' for Oregon : to' get : busy "and an nounce to the world that its .immense domain is being thrown open to Settlers bK Jiecesry, jsllroaiteoiistruetUrfi,' and that an era or development or extraor dlnary : rnagnltuda is rapidly dawning, Mr. Hill suggested that no time should bs lost .'in launching a forceful cam paign for. a. larger population and more Industries.' . ' Apparently-deeply .interested In Ore gon, especially now that the system guided by. his hand. and, controlled by bis master mind on railroads and rail roadlng, has. begun, to pierce the vast interior of the state by means of Its Oregon Trunk line through the I)eS' chutes valley, Mr. -Hill nevertheless hes Hates in speaking for publication, as i rule denying himself entirety to news paper men. .. But after having enjoyed a hearty dinner In the Portland hotel grill, and having listened to the soothing strains of the stringed rcjjegtra tor thebetter parFof 'fialf "an '"Koul"a'fter' the '"cigars" had been passed around, Mr. - Hill felt little more communicative. Predicts Heavy Immigration. 'You ought to look for heavy tmmi gration next year," the magnate began in his terse way. ' "We are prepaying to handle a great deal of traffic, and will be in position to do so. Now, whether the people are coming or not Is up to the people here. .We are continually do ing what a railroad tan do In the way of Inducing travel, but I think It Is up to. your people. "The people of Oregon-I kri'ow very few personaly here have been rather quiet In regard to inviting settlers, and we shall be very much surprised if an Immigration campalgn is not maintained and results do not follow. But it de pends upon the people of Oregon. It is up to them to let the outside know that thev are alive and that inducements are offering. ' ' Here to Inspect.

The National Mon tor announced today that, pending the accession to the Belgian throne of Prince' Albert, to succeed the late Kin Leopold, Belgian affairs will be ad ministered by a regency consisting of a council of ministers. to be done. As to plans, I have nothln Brussels, Dec. if. King Leopold died this morning. Tke Immediate cause of his death, according to Dr. Thlrar, his chief physician, was embolism of the heart. "We were most apprehensive when we performed the recent operation on th king," said Dr. Thlrar, "because we were aware of the heart trouble, but the operation was absolutely necessary to prevent terrible suffering. - Thanks to the operation, the king's death was pain less." r Leopold's death occurred on the forty- fourth anniversary of his .formal acces slon to the throne, although his king, ship dated from December 10, 18(6. All the dally papers of ihe capital ap peared today witn great black page bordes. Aside from this tribute, how ever, there Is tittle manifestation of public grief. The little affection for the rkjng that remained tn the hearts of his "people was decreased during the final few days of his illness, when he refused to become reconciled , to his daughters, the Princess Stephanie arid the Princess Louise. Princess Stephanie arrived at the deathbed 20 minutes after the monarch had passed away. The confirmation of Leopold'a mar riage to Baroness Vaughan, who was the daughter of a charwoman, will probably serve to complicate the administration of his estate. The late king had two children by Baroness Vaughan, and they will have an equal claim against his vast estate with his other children. It is not regarded as likely that one of them might advance a claim to the throne. The funeral of the late king will be neio next Wednesday, and Prince Albert will take the oath as king on the follow The news of the marriage of Kin Leopold to the Baroness Vaughan was received nere with marked disfavor.
