A SLICE FOR GERMANY
Portuguese East Africa to Be
0iVided-Sequel to the War
in South Africa.

New York, Nov 4.-Emperor Will
liam's approaching visit being closely
connected in time with the arrival of
the king of Portugal, had revived dis
cussions. cables the Tribune's London
correspondent. of an alleged secret
chapter of Anglo-American diplomacy.
No diplomatist doubts the existence of
secret agreement between the two
governments relating to the partition
of Portuguese East africa, and many
Wen informed men suspect that Asia
Minor also is included in the scope Of
this convention. The most reasonable
theory is that the British government,
having secured an option to buy the
Portuguese territory whenever the Lis
bon government is ready to sell it, ar
ranged with the Berlin government for
scheme for dividing it and readjust-
ing the frontiers. The German emperor
is alleged TO be anxious to have the
sale carried through and the advan-
tages for Germany made known for
the sake of vindicating his own course
of action in keeping on good terms with
England. The British ministers, on the
other hand. are believed TO be reluc-
tant To reveal a partition scheme in
advance of actual purchase of the ter
ritory, and the xiv of Portugal is not
expected to lend encouragement to the
idea that the sale can be hurried on.

A CHINAMAN AT A TELEPHONE.
He Gets the Worth of His Money
Every Time

"a Chinaman at the telephone is a
funny thing" remarked a long dis
lance telephone operatUI. in the Den
yer News a few days ago. you see, it
is impossible to tell whether one per-
son or half a dozen are talking, and we
often become mixed up in listening to
them. When one is speaking it seems
as If half dozen are talking, and we
often imagine the wires are out of or
der. To make matters worse, the
Chinese delight in talking as fast as
possible, and we never know whether
the Chinaman at this end of the wire is
talking or if it is the one at the other
end. After the conYersat ton is ended
the Chink walks out of the booth with
a self-satisfied smile on his face, and
pays for a three minutes talk We
have lately discovered that he invari-
ably says as much during that time as
could have been said by white man
in fifteen minutes.

is not out anything by the trans
action. as it is paid by the minute, but.

! POLICE SOLVE
THE MYSTERY
Many Cases of Murderous As.
sauIt Near Boston.
SUSPECT NOW UNDER ARREST
MAN WELL CONNECTED AND A
HARVARD GRADUATE.

II osToN, Nov. 4.-In connection with
n the fifteen murderous assault
cases which have occurred in
Cambridge. Brookline and Somerville
in the last few months, two Of which
resulted fatally. the state police today
arrested Alan G. Mason of Boston, a
well known and wealthy business man,
a member of the piano manufacturing
firm of Mason & HamIin. a prominent
club man and a Harvard graduate.
The police suspect, from evidence in
their hands, that Mr.. Mason has been
involved in nearly all the cases re-
1erred to, as the circumstances have
been similar. Mr.. Mason is a middle
aged man, but he has been a victim of
mental trouble for which he was treat
ed at the Mclean asylum at Waverly.
About year ago he was permitted 10
leave the institution. Since that time,
II is said, he has been permitted TO go
and come at viii, and the fact that he
had been frequently seen about the To-
calities in which the assaults occurred
LED to suspicion against him.
Many Victims.
The peculiar assault cases which
have terrorized Cambridge and vicinity
as well as other suburban sections be-
there were half a dozen victims of an
unknown assailant. each of whom was
struck down and beaten with q blunt
instrument Early In October Miss
Agnes MCPhee was assaulted in Somer-
Vile and died from her injuries. An
iron wrench was found and fixed upon
as the weapon used. During the same
month eight other cases followed. the
last of which occurred last Saturday
night, when Clara A. Morton, a laun-
dress at the Mclean asylum was ac-
costed on the grounds of that institu-
ton and beaten with blunt instrs-
ment. Miss Morton died Sunday.
Mr.. Mason was taken into custody
at his mothers home on Newbury
street. He made no objection, and on
the way to police headquarters, it is
said, Mr.. Mason admitted to the off,
GERS that he was in SOmerville on the
night on which Miss McPhee was IA
tally injured.
Suspect a Harvard Graduate.
The prisoner is about 80 years of age,
and is the son of the founder of the
firm of Mason & Hamlin, organ and
piano manufacturers. He was gradu-
ated from Harvard in 1886 and entered
the firm of which his father was the
head. Mental troubles developed with
in a few years of his graduation and he
went to the Mclean asylum for treat
ment. After a time he showed i'm
provement and left the institution. A
second time il became necessary for
him to return, but he soon improved
and was released a second time In
1897. however, symptoms more serious
than any previous ones developed and,
as he had threatened his mother and
brother. he was sent to Waverly for
the third time. He remained six
months. Since then he has been free
and has been a stock taker at the Ma
son & Hamlin organ factory at Cam
bridge.
Mason has a mother and three broth
ers, and is a cousin of John Mason
the well known actor. While in col
lege Mason displayed a pronounced
musical taste and was president of the
Glee club. He was also an athlete of
some note.
