GREAT BRITAIN AND PORTUGAL.
Lisbon, June /.

A4oDN4A5 y NNAAC AV
The principal olansos Of the new Anglo
Portuguese treaty relative to territorial deli
mutations are similar to those Of the abortive
treaty Of the goth of August, with the follow
inc modifcations:-The Portuguese frontier on
the North Zambesi starts from tae right
margin of the river Shire Immediately below
the Shiwanga. 1t proceeds thence in q
north westerly direction by an irregular line
to the intersection of the l4th parallel of
latitude with longitude 1880, thence in a
south westerly direction to the point where
the 10Th parallel intersects the River Loanga,
following the centre of the channel. The same
line will be followed to the Zambesi.
Tothc south Of the Zambesi the divisional
line runs southwark to parallel 1880, which it
follows along the most western slopes of the
1Eanica tablclands to the river Sava, it being
understood that all the territories east of the
83rd degree Of east longitude belong to Por-
tugaI, and those west Of 325 to England. The
frontier line will infect in such a manner as
to secure Massi Kesse to Portugal and Mutassa
to England.
In Central Africa the diviso"y line between
British and Portuguese spheres of influence is
formed by the centre of the channel Of the
Zambesi, from the Katrina c~ataracts north
wards to the Barotze territory, the western
boundary of which it follows. This boundary
will be determined by an Anglo-P Portuguese
Commission, any disputes that may arise being
referred to arbitration. Each country
shall have the right of presumption on equal
terms, in the event of either desiring at
any time to ALLEVIATE any of their respective
territories south of the Zambesi. Portugal
guarantees religious liberation and freedom to
all forms of religious teaching throughout her
Central and East African possessions.
During % years the transit dues for British
merchandise across the Portuguese territories
shall be 3 percent cd vaIorem, from which
tax, however, the precious metals and coinage
sre exempted. The British Government shall
during five years have the option to redeem
payment of the above transit dues for the re-
mainder Of the period by capitalizing the same,
calculated at $780, 900 sterling per annum at 3
per cent.-that is upon payment of lump sum
of about a million sterling. The transit of
British merchandise across the district north
of the Zambesi situated above the river Shire,
and those south of the Zambesi situated above
the river Luenha, is exempted from all dues, a
similar right being accorded to Portuguese
merchandise in its transit across the British
territories between the margin of the river

From the European Mail, June 10.(

The death Of Sir John Mac Donald is q
sad loss not only to Canada but to the En-
pre- at large. Colonists will mourn for him
without distinction Of creed or party. No
other statesman Of his time was more popular
He was known by endearing nicknames, and
he was John AZ not only vita his familiars
but with all the world, He had Mr.. Lincoln's
Gift Of story telling and all his knowledge of
his kind. He was besides a man of wide Gull
turo. and he ruled a proud and independent
democracy by knowing how to appeal to-
every section of it. Born in Scotland, Sir
John vas taken by his father, as a boy Of five
from Sutherlandshire to Kingston, Ontario, In
1920, and was therefore, to all intents and
purposes. what is called in the land where his
long and useful life was passed, "a clear grit

ston Cir amman School, that his education COM
men ced-an expression peculiarly applicable IN
his case, as like Lord PalmerStCn and Lord Bea-
consfeld, the two English statesmen for whom
he had the greatest admiration, Sir John held
that a mans education should only cease with
his life. 1t was, again, from Kingston that
in 1886, he was called to the Bar OF Upper
Canada. and so rapid was his advance in his
profession that ten years later he was appoin-
ted q Queens Counsel. He was still a very
Young advocate when his defence of Won
Schultz, who in 1886 had made a marauding
raid into1Canada, attracted general attention,
and from his first entrance into the Canadian
House Of Commons, to which he was sent in
1914 as representative of the City Of King
ston, he was designated by the public voice as
likely to play a very distinguished part in
shaping the history of his own country and
his own times.
In this respect the expectation of his con-
temporaries, most of whom passed away before
him, was not disappointed. For the last forty-six
wears Sir John Macdonald has been in every
respect a most conspicuous statesman. Upon
the successful Confederation in 1867 Of Upper
and Lower Canada with the Maritime Provin-
ces Newfoundland alone accepted, Sir John
assumed the responsible position of Prime
Minister of the New Dominion, which post he
held unit he and his Ministry resigned office
in 1878, on being charged with corruption in
connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway

Lord Duferin, then Viceroy of Canada, and

TO DYNAMITE THE CLOUDS.
The Ralnmahers WIN Try to Avert New
York,s Water ramine.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The rainmakers
are to come east and try their bombshells
on the clouds in the neighborhood Of New
York. The water famine in the metropolis
has become so alarming that The World
has offered to pay General Dyrenforth all
expenses II he can arrange to repeat his
experiments at some point in the Croton
water shed within the first days of the
present week. The government rainmaker
has accepted the proposition. General
Dyrenforth's theory is that the explosion
Of dynamite and other high explosives in
the upper strata Of the atmosphere will
produce copious rains.
General Dyrenforth says he will under
take the matter in perfect good faith, but
fears that week or ten days must be re-
quired to prepare the apparatus. For ex-
ample, he will require twenty-five bal
looms. He has five or six now at St Louis,
but they will require repairing. Twenty
new ones must be made.
In the event OF completing all the ex-
perlments the expense will approximate
5000.
The enterprise win be conducted on a
more expensive scale than in Texas, be-
cause General Dyrenforth feels the tre-
mendous Importance and responsibility
Of this particular undertaking and desires
to insure complete success.
General Dyrenforth will secure ten artil-
lerymen from Fort Hamilton or Govern
or's island. The experiment viii be made
at ten stations on the Croton watershed
simultaneously. The explosion will be
the most portentous ever made in the open
air The Croton aqueduct engineers esti-
mate that there IS now only eight or nine
days supply of water in the various reser-
voirs, while the only additional supply is
a flow Of about $1,000, 600 gallons a day Ia
the Croton river. This may be greatly di-
minished daily. The daily consumption
Of the city is 1870 1000, 900 gallons. The engi-
neers say a rainfall of at least two inches
within the present week only can avert
the threatened famine.

UPHOLSTERY !!
LACE AND CHENILLE
CURTAINS.

Our new department is just few days
old. The results in that time have been
above even our expectations and widest
hopes, and has proved again that the right
goods at the right prices will always meet
with success. During the week we have
had as many buyers as we could well han
die, and now we are better prepared.
You can Judge of the magnitude of
our stock when we are showing 10 differ
ent and distinct patterns of Lace Curtains,
line at prices ranging from 81 to $65
per pair
Do you often meet with such lace
assortment So with our Chenille Cur
tains-the largest line ever shown in the
city, the latest designs and colorings are all
shown in profusion. We intend this de-
partment to be the talk of the town.
See the goods and hear the prices
compare them with what you are used to
and then form your opinion.
We announced last week that we were
selling fve-foot pole complete with trim
mings at IL cents each, and it was lucky
for US that we were well supplied, other
wise the rush would have overwhelmed US.
We have since received more and they are

To Adopt Platform.
The most important work in the con-
vention will be over the adoption of a
platform That which was made at Ocala
is only year old, but there are many who
think it already needs repairs. The dele
gates will be divided into three classes:
First-Those who expect something
from one OF the other Of the old political
parties. They will make their fight for
conservative platform. Second-rhose
who have nothing to expect from the old
parties. They will urge radical plat
form, and probably strict adherence to
that which was made a year ago. Third
Those who have been trying to hold the
Alliance back from definite political ac-
tion. Many Of these will break to one or
the other of the former classes but some
one will try to have a resolution 20
through which shall make the Alliance
non-political.

nounced at Ocala
AT that convention a year ago a resolu-
tion was adopted requiring the different
state alliances to elect delegates 60 the
meeting In Washington in February next.
Delegates from all the labor orders will be
there Il is the avowed intention that that
meeting shall issue a call for convention
to nominate a national ticket for '92.
The Presidency in 1892.
The third party leaders now have an
idea that their presidential candidate for
'g2 should be from the south. The AL
lance is particularly strong in the south,
and expects by naming a man from that
section to draw heavily from the old po-
litical parties The man on whom their
ideas center is Livingston. His disposi-
tion has been to keep the Alliance out Of
politics. and he has not given any encour-
agement TO the third party politicians who
have seen an advantage in his name. It
is more than probable that he would de-
cline a presidential nomination.
At the convention here today Kansas is
represented by Jerry Simpson, John Davis,
Ben Clover L. Mcclellan aud J P. Lime
burner. So Kansas has some good, hard
fighters on the door. Georgia has Living
ston and Governor Northen among its
strong men. From Texas have come W.
r. Sledge and Harry Tracy The senti-
ment in Texas is strongly against third
party movement. In Georgia the rank and
file are rampant for a third party fight.
Governor Northen has fought against
everything which committed the Alliance
TO any political party during the past
year in Georgia. and he is in this con-
yention prepared 70 do the same thing.
Governor Buchanan, of Tennessee, and
