TIE LUSO' 5 OWN OPINION
THE pOBTUGUEsE PAPER VIEWS
ARE PREMATURE.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Jubilation Over
the Political Situation With Some
Questionable Figures of the Senate.

The Luso gets off the following un-
der the head of "Discouragement in
the Camp of the Annexationists:"
The news which was so anxiously
waited for from Washington both by
the anneNationists and by the opposi-
ton, arrived by the steamer Mariposa,
day before yesterday, and is of such
nature that il created CONSERVATION
in the camp of the annexationists.
where now prevails the discourage
ment common TO politicians who have
little hope in the cause which they es-
pousc. while for the opposition there
shines in the horizon the hope that.
Notwithstanding the wirepulling or a
certain number of INSCRIPTIONS indi-
viduals both here and in Washington.
the Infamous transaction will not oe
consummatcd which the message Of
President Mckinley to the Senate at
the present session clearly proves. viz.
that they did not intend to annex this
country as other territories have been
annexed, but to form kind of colo
ny which should serve the ends of the
avaricious planters, despsing the
rights and interests of the middle
class and of the European laborers OF
the country.
But thanks TO the honor and char
acter which still remains in a certain
number, of American Senators. Mr..
Mckinley and his coadiutors counted
their eggs before they were laid, and
it follows that it now appears since
the meeting of Congress, instead of
two-thrds Of the total number of SEN
ators to vote in favor of the ratifica-
ton of the treaty, which was to sell
us body and soul politically. hardly
fifty-one. with some still doubtful. and
thirty-nine of the opposition who will
fight against the contamination Of
such a fraud.
The news is also received that Sena-
tor Morgan will try other tactics in
presenting a bill which will have to
pass both houses. but that with the
declared opposition of Mr.. Reed. the
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. it will also suffer the same fate.
confirming thus the discouragement
in the camp of the anneXationists both
here and there.

STARTLING REPORT.

The Jill Shimpu has the following,
which may or may not be correct:
According to report from trust
worthy sources, the three powers,
France, Russia and Germany, are
about to plumber territories in the Far
East in combination. Russia is to
seize Korea and North China: Germa-
ny Shantung and France Formosa and
Fuhkien."
1t is by no means unlikely that some
of the statements may ultimately
come true, says the Japan Times. but
for the present the scheme of appro-
priation is much too comprehensive to
be accepted as gospel.

The Lake OF Blood.

Every polar expedition and whaling
vessel which visits the Baf1in bay region
puts in at Yaurcke Bank, SO as to al
low explorers and scamen to visit the
celebrated Lake of Blood. Of it the
author of ''My Summer in the North
says: at is lake of considerable ex-
tent, lying only few feet above the
level of the sea, and appears of deep
dark blood red. Careful examin-
alton proved, however, that the water
itself was as pure and clear as possible;
the red effect being due to the fact that
the bottom and sides of the lake, as
well as the few stones which were scat
tered about in it, were coated most per-
fectly with the red snow plant. In
some places, where the water had evap-
Grated, the withered red plants on the
soil and rocks looked exactly like dried

NEW AMONG NATIONS.
Facts About the Azores, to Which Por-
tugal Has Granted Autonomy.


Portugal has recognized the Amer
lean principle of local self-government
in granting autonomy to the Azores,
and that interesting little community
of rather less than three hundred thou
sand people will soon be legislating for
itself, doubtless at Angra, the almost
unknown capital of the group. The
independent blue flag, with the white
hawk and the nine stars, displayed by
the islanders of San Miguel when the
good news came from Lisbon, contains
a sort of brief history of the group.
1t tells there are nine islands sown
thick in the blue midocean, and that
the emblematic hawk reminds the
world that the name Acor, Portuguese
for hawk, was conferred on the islands
because of the great number of those
birds found there by the navigator sent
out from Portugal to take possession OF
the group. One story of that quest is
that Vanderberg, a Dutch merchant,
being driven out of his course, CHANGED
upon the islands, and reported them
when he touched at Lisbon. Another
is that Dom Henry of Portugal, having
an old map upon which the islands were
laid down, dispatched Gonzalo Velho
Cabral to search for them. At any rate
the navigator reached the islands in
1882, the very date ascribed to Wander
berg's adventure, and twelve years later
took possession of San Miguel. All the
nine islands had been rediscovered BY
1457, and colonization soon began. al.,s

II was in big store one morning
and pretty widow came in. She wore

Gainsborough hat. The clerks rushed
over one another to wait on her.
"a little, insignificant looking fellow
with thin, sandy mustache and light
hair was the lucky man. She gave him
smile that fairly made his head swim
THE other clerks were simply con
sumed with jealousy.
'She wanted to look at some dress
stuff and she toyed with it daintily
She paid more attention to the little
clerk than to the goods.
''She looked at every piece in the
store and consumed three-quarters o.
an hour of the little fellows time: IL
the meantime number of men came in
and attempted to lounge around where
they could get a good view of her.

HIS SAVINGS.
Some Comments on the Manner in Which
They Were Made.

OOho Comments ON LnS manner IN w men
They Were Made.
A horny-handcd workingman in Mer-
iden, whose wages have never been
over two dollars a day, has saved nine
thousand dollars from them, which he
keeps at interest in the savings bank.
He must surely have lived very closely;
he must have been mean toward his
four children, three girls and one boy;
he must nave cut down his family sup
plies to a low notch during the forty
years in which he has been laying by
his riches. 1t is time for US to say
that we cannot hold him up for an ex-
ample to be followed by all other work.
ingmen. 1t would not be well for them
to live as he must have lived all his
life, never enjoying half pint of pea
nuts or saucer of ice cream, never
giving any of his children a stick of
candy or doll, hardly ever buying
new dress for his wife or a suit of
clothes for himself, or copy of a Mcr-
iden newspaper. The word in that
household from morning till night, at
breakfast, dinner and supper, must
have been scrimp. He is surely q
stingy man, something like a skin
flint, or how could he have saved SO
much out of his small wages? We
can't say that we admire his style.
1t is good for man, says the New
York Sun, to live pretty well if he can
afford it, and to get the best out of his
money us he goes along, always, OF
course, avoiding anything like waste.
fulness, always practicing economy. 1t
is good for him to put some money in
the bank, if he can; but not much more
than he can spare. 1t is right for one
to feather his nest, but wrong to stuff
it SO full of feathers that it's occupant
cannot breathe freely. Certainly, oh,
certainly, you should lay up something
against rainy day; but still you need
not squeeze all the juice out of life
