The bankrupt Condition OF the Once Pros

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
Z nation nee on the downward grade
gains momentum. Time was, says tho
Boston Transcript, when if Portugal
did not hold the golden East il fec
she at least divided possession Of il with
Venice In those days when she was q
great power on sea and land, with great
fleets and armies 1t her command, She
could have bought u large part of Eu-
rope. and then have had some money TO
put b. for = rainy day. Now the rainy
day has come and inds her with no
money put by. In this emergency She
has gone begging of ;hc bankers, and
it is understood has secured n loan of
about thirty-two million dollars from q
syndicate of capitalists to tide over her
present needs. Whether this sum will
be 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
uiation of five million. or in all sOm.-
where in the ucighborhool of seven
hundred million dollars. The interest
charge il about twenty-five million dol
lars. or considerably more than half the
revenue; the deficit within two years
has been as high rs fourteen million
dollars. These figures made London

Have Done the Past Year.
Captain James i. Lusk submitted to the
Commissioners of the District yesterday his
annual report. The report stated that the
officer in charge of the Washington Aqueduct
laid during the year one 24-inch water on
Eleventh, between X and l. streets northwest
one similar main and one 30inch main on

also one 24-inch main on X street, between
New Jersey avenue and Eleventh street east
During the year the same officer transferred
to the Commissioners the control of 131 valves
on the outlets of the large supplying mains.
The principal extension of the Districts
water service was the laying of q 12-inch main
from the stand-pipe on Meridian Hill to
Fourteenth street extended and Park street,
Mount Pleasant. The total length Of mains
laid by the distribution branch of the Water
Department during the fiscal year of 1891 was
1880 lined feet, of which 5,16S feet were on
account of the Washington and Georgetown
