PoRTUGAL's LOSS OF DOMAIN.
Empires Have Already slipped Away
From the GingdOm's Possession.

iFr1m the New York FribUne)
If the news which was published a few
DAYS ago in the Berlin ''LOkal Anzeiger'' Is
true that by secret stipulation between
England and Germany. POrtugal's Asiatic
colonies and the north of Zsmbesi will be-
come German possessions. another big slice
OF territory will be taken from a country
which at one time took high rank for CO.
Ionial wealth and stretched forth to possess
a large slice of the earth.
In the carly days of its existence Por-
tugal made conquests from the MoOTS took
Lisbon and annexed Madeira and the Ca
naries. Then VascO da Cana made the
passage to the East Indies by the Cape of
Good Hope and planted the flag of Portugal
on vast stretches of territory. and Cabral
a few years later did the same in Brazil.
For many years these great domains -four
ished and yielded vast sums in revenue to
Portugal giving that country prominence
among the powers. But the envy and Jeal-
ousy of other commercial nations were
aroused, and between 1902 and loo the
Dutch took by force most OF the POrtu-
guese settlements in India, and Portugal
itself became the object of European am
bition to such an extent that in 1852 il
was only EngIand's protection that saved
Portugal from the united forces of France
and SPAIN In 1914 Portugal ceded the
greater part of Guinea to France and lost
its power in that part Of the world
The sway of Portugal over Brazil was
complete for hundreds OF years. In lJli
the Hebrews were expelled from Portugal
and sent 20 Brazil and other subjects con-
sjdered undesirable we're shipped to the
new Portugal in South America. but IA
1880 both Portugal and Brazil became SUP
iect tn Spain The country became hlhS-
dom in 1915. and declared It's independence
ip 1900. three years later IT'S independence
was recognized. When the Republic was
established in 1889, the last hope of Spain
and Portugal in the direction of Brazil
vanished, and the last Portuguese colony
in America came to an end.
Portugal still holds some colonies. but
will have a small showing in that direction
when the Asiatie part is taken away At
present the European colonies are the
Azores. with an area of about | coo English
square miles and a population Of 250.000.
In Africa Portugal has Madeira. the Cape
Verd Islands. Coast OF Senegambia and
Guinea. Angola. and Mozambique. These
African possessions represent about 6S2 500
square miles and 2.JlS,000 of population.
The Asiatic possessions which are men
toned in the rumor from Berlin are Goa.
in India. with 1910 square miles and SIS
600 inhabitants: Timor. with $500 square
miles and 100000 inhabitants. and Macao.
in China an island with a population of
about 10000, of which about 4G09 are
Portuguese. although less than 1000 of
these came from Portugal. The exports
from this little town amounted last year to
about G2S5.000.
The Goa possession is valuable because
OF the great salt works. where thousaneS
of Iaborers are employed. The chief prod
ucts of the Island of Timor are coffee ana

Frightening away the evil spirits
Aside from this Oriental custom, the

acter. A jar of food will be left on the
grave for the use of the dead man, and
few incense tapers burned for the repose
of his spirit and the pacification OF the
gods. No ceremony will be held at the
Joss House nor at the undertaker's rooms.

the western part of the State are closely
allied with the interests of Baltimore city.
Thirdly. General Latrobe. having had
much experience in public life, is qualified
to fill the position. and especially so as he
has once before served in the capacity Of
speaker. There are others of the Frederick
delegation vino agree with me as to Bal
timore city's right to the position.
The delegates from Frederick county
are capable of taking care oil themselves,
and they will not be led around by the
nose by any man. Any man who under
takes to speak for them in advance had
better go slow, and be sure whereof he
speaks"
= Mr.. Waters is a man who impresses one
.with being able to take care of himself and
look out fer the interests of the people
whom he represents. He is rising Young
attorney of the Frederick bar, and will lie
heard from at Annapolis. He led his ticket
in 1891 when he ran for the office OF regis
ter OF wills for Frederick county, but the
whole Democratic ticket was defeated that
year. His father, DIR. James X. Waters, an
Independent man, was register of wills of
Frederick county, and his son was chief
deputy
Mr.. Waters says his delegation will give
General Latrobe at least three votes, and
as MIR. Buckley is the youngest man on the
delegation he is anxious that he be made
chairman and Mr.. Best he made secretary
OF the delegation.
With reference TO the leading house po-

PROSPERITY IN YUCATAN.
The Railway Companies Purchasing
Quantities of Rolling stock.

Railway projects in Yucatan is the sub
iect of report to the State Department
from Consul Thompson at Progreso. Mr..
Thompson says:
by reason of the present high price of
sisal hemp. the principal product and ar
ticle Of export for this district, Yucatan is
enjoying q season of great prosperity.
There is a plethora of money. Many COM
mercial and other schmes are being pro-
iected. particularly in railroad and kim
dred enterprises. Every one of the present
railroad companies is commencing to pur-
chase large quantities of rolling stock,
rails etc. Several new railroads are plan
ned. with every prospect of success.
Il have helped divert many orders TO the
United States and if our manufacturers in
terested in this class of supplies care to
enter the field here. there will never be a
better chance.

c. p HUNTINGToN's DENIAL.
His Shipyard Not TO be Sold to the
Government.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Jan. 2.-Collis
L. Huntington. the railroad magnate and
owner of the shipyard here. has authorized
a denial of the report 10 the effect that a
deal is on foot by which his immense plant
is TO be transferred to the Government.
His private secretary branded the story
as ridiculous. saying that all Of the pre-
liminary details for such an important
transfer were lacking.
In reference 10 the Congressional party
! hich visited the yard few days ago, he
presumed they were cut on iunketins
trip. or probably they were making tour
Of the shipyards of this country with
view to making a report OF some kind on
their capacity ior doing naval work. Mr..
Huntington spent the morning in inspect
ing the shipyard.
Yesterday afternoon he and his party
attended an emancipation proclamation
celebration al the Hampton Normal and
Agricultural Institute where Mr.. Hunt
ingtou delivered an interesting address 10
the students OF the institution. Mir. Hunt

THE CHILEAN TREATY.
John Goode May Represent America
on the Commission.

The Chilean Congress, in ratifying the
treaty for the arbitration of unsettled
claims existing between the Governments
OF the United States and Chile, did not. as
was reported. adopt an amendment which
would necessitate the resubmissiOn Of the
treaty to the Senate.
A copy OF the instrument received here
shows that il is Identical with that which
the Senate ratified al the last session. 1t
is expected that the President will shortly
issue a proclamation announcing the terms
of the treaty, and the commission will then
be organized to adjudicate the claims 1t
is believed in well-informed circles that
the President viii appoint John Goode, of
Virginia. representative OF the United
States on the commission.
