AN INSOLVENT NATION.
Tho bankrupt Condition OF tho Once Pros,

The bankrupt Condition OF tho Once Pros
porous Portugal.
Portugal will ere long, unless present
indications are at fault, give another of
the illustrations SO frequent in her re-
cent history of the rapidity with which
4 nation once on the downward grade
gains momentum. Time was, saws the
Boston Transcript, when if Portugal
did not "hold the golden East in fee"
she at least divided possession of it with
Venice. In those days when she was a
great power on sea and land, with great
fleets and armies at her command, she
could have bought large part of Eu-
rope, and then have had some money to
put by for rainy day. Now the rainy
day has come and finds her with no
money put by. In this emergency she
has gone begging of the bankers, and
1t is understood has secured loan of
about thirty-two million dollars from a
syndicate of capitalists to tide over her
present needs. Whether this sum will
nc sufficient is seriously doubted in Lon
don, where the Portuguese financial
situation is pretty well understood. The
debt of Portugal is about one hundred
and forty dollars per capita of her pop
Ulation of five million, or in all some
where in the neighborhood of seven
Hundred million dollars. The interest
charge is about twenty-five million dol
lars, or considerably more than half the
revenue; the deficit within two years
has been as high as fourteen million
dollars. These figures made London
tinanciers indisposed to come to the as
distance of Portugal, more especially as
some of their number were already
creditors of the Portuguese Govern
luent. One of the first purposes to
which four million dollars of the re-
Gently borrowed money will be put will
DC to pay Barring Brothers their due.
The Immediate interest demands will
Take up ten million or twelve million
dollars more in January, and the ques-
ihon is, when will Portugal want to Dor
TOW again, since the entire amount of
the loan is only sufficient for little more
than years interest. Portugal might
do well to realize on her African possess
hions now. They would net her good
sum, and u nation that has neither gold
nor steel can not hope to hang on to her
colonies long when such powers as Ger
laany and England long for them.

How Owen and jason Brown Disposed of
Their Little Fortune.
John Brown, of Harper's ferry, whose
soul goes marching on, has two sons,
Owen and Jason, who went into the
valley where Pasadena sits in the sun
shine of the California Paradise, and
there struggled against adversely and
fought pinched circumstances in u long
and hard contest.
a Lewiston gentleman just home
from Washington, says the Lewiston
Journal met in New York an old friend,
an attorney of much note, who recently
settled the estate of one of these sons
who recently died at or near Pasadena
The attorney told the Lewiston gentle
man a story whose moral will be touch
ing, no matter how badly it may be told
in this place, and whose theme is heroic
along the better line Of heroism. This
.Attorney found the affairs of the de
CEASED in good order, but his estate
small. He obtained from the surviving
son memento of John Brown, n letter
written to one of the sons nearly fifty
years ago-a good letter, with one or
two bits of honest, manly advice in it.
~ progress of looking up the affairs
the attorney found out this, that the
two sons had lived along in u rather
pinched way, paying for their little
place, working hard and patiently, TN
complaining in their toll, and that they
finally had saved two hundred dollars
for little nest egg against future
troubles, About two years ago or more,

Lightning Change.

One of the incidents Of the day was the
scarcity OF small change. The salesman
in the Aberdeen Music Store was in hot
pursuit OF change for a 500 gold piece,
when he ran up against Charley, Of
Crummey's, who told him he could
change it. Charley took the gold piece,
handed ont bill, and lit out. The sales
man began to yell, but glancing at his
bill saw it was 500 greenback, and
fair exchange being no robbery, quieted
down. and went on looking for better
change.

A FIERCE CONFEDERATION.
False Alrrm and Rotten Hose Cause
Loss of Time-Adjoining Property
Saved by Great Presence of
Mi.d-Loss, $500.

All was excitement last night when the
fire alarm was sound from the electric
power house. Five blasts were given
which indicated that the fire was in the
direction of the theatre. BY the time
the engine and hose cart had reached the
Eighth street slough, it was discovered
that the fire vas on Eleventh between
} and X streets. The hose cart hurried
on to the scene of the fire which was
found to be in the residence of Mrs.
Mullen on Eleventh street. No sooner
was the water turned on than the hose
bursted at the Ninth street crossing.
Some time was required to make con-
nection which being done, barsted again
in new place.
MR.. LEHFELD's RESIDENCE BURNS.
In the meantime the fire had gotten
beyond control, and no amo-nt of water
could then have saved the house. The
residence of Mr.. Lehfeld stood next the
burning building and it soon became APP
parent that unless water were procured
from SOM source his building would 60
also. The fire department was now
utterly helpless as the hose was broken
in several places. A northeast wind
blew and the fierce flames soon caught
and enveloped Mr.. Lehfeld's house in
half an hour it lay in ash s. This dam
ger was apprehended, however, and the
house was completely ransacked before
the fire caught. Much of the furniture
and household effects of Mrs. Mullen's
were also saved before the fire got beyond
control.
A BUCKET LINE FORMED.
A vast crowd thronged about ON all
sides Of the burning structures and when
| it became apparent that no relief could
come from the hose, bucket line was
quickly formed and through this agency
many Of the adjoining buildings were
doubtless saved.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE UNKNOWN.
Mrs. Mullen, in whose house the fire
originated was questioned and expressed
entire ignorance as to the cause. She
stated that she first discovered the
flames in the front room up stairs but
could give no clue whatever as to its
origin.
FULLY COVERED BY INSURANCE.
Both the dwellings were fully covered
by insurance. Mrs. Mullen's house and
furniture were insured in the sum of
$500.
EXPLANATION OF THE FALSE FIRE SIGNAL.
1t was apparent to all that had the
engine set on the J street slough, where
by the distance would have been lessened
one block, one if not both the buildings
would have been saved, as not so much
pressure would have been brought to
bear on the hose. 1t seems, however,
that no one informed the engineer at the
electric power house as to the where
abouts of the fire, and he was compelled
to give any number of blasts, which in
this instance happened to be FIVE, or the
signal for K street slough.
TOO MANY FIRE CHIEFS.
The most Objectionable feature to the
work of the fire department was that
everyone posed as boss or chief. All
gave commands and there was no one
left to fulfill them. The organization will
never be complete until the authority OF
one man is recognized above all others
