NO TRUTH IN REPORT.
Great Britain and Germany Not After
Portuguese East Africa.


New York, Nov. 12.-With reference
to the report that Germany and Great
Britain intend acquiring Portuguese
East Africa, M. DeSousa Rosa, the
Portuguese minister to France, in an
interview, said, according to a Herald
dispatch from Paris:
There is not one word of truth in
the report, and believe me, if / con-
sent to make such categorical decla-
ration it is because similar reports
with regard to the Portuguese colonies
deserve a contradiction. On the con-
trary, they refute themselves. Their
very extravaganza is sufficient proof
of their inaccuracy, but | contradict
them emphatically and unreservedly
solely for the purpose of putting the
public upon their guard, as l am con-
vinced such reports are put into cir
culation for speculative purposes.
Portugal has not the slightest in
tention of parting with her colonial
possessions, nor of any portion Of
them, either to Great Britain or any
other power.
furthermore, to prevent any posi-
bihty of error or misunderstanding,
may assure you that the British gov
ernment never has made any PROPOSE
ton, directly or indirectly, concerning
Portuguese territory in Africa"

Cupid Delegate to Congress.
San Francisco, Nov. 12.-The steam
er Alameda from Honolulu, brings the
news that the recent election in the
territory of Hawaii resulted in a
sweeping Republican victory. Prince
Kalaianaole, popularly known as
Prince Cupid, was elected delegate
to congress over Robert W. Wilcox,
the present incumbent, and present
Democratic candidate, by majority
of over 1000. When the Alameda left
the islands full election returns had
not been received. The island Of
Maui had not been heard from. The
legislature was almost entirely Re
publican, and Is Republican represen-
tatives and five senators are known to
be elected. When the Alameda is re-
leased from quarantine today tele-
gram from Governor Dole to President
Roosevelt announcing the result of the
election as given above will be sent
to Washington by the purser of the
steamer.
Prince Kalanianacle, the congress
sional delegate elect, is full-blooded
Hawaiian, and has in the past been
identified with the home rule party.
When both Republican and Demo
cratic parties offered him the candi-
dacy of the territorial delegate, he ac-
cepted the Republican nomination.
Both candidates instituted a lively
campaign throughout the island. Viii
cox was elected to congress in 1900,
defeating Samuel Parker.

San Francisco, Nov. 12.-The Chron-

doubt that the object of the schooner
Lusia D, about ready to sail for the
south, is to attempt to recover part
Of the treasure lost in 1862 by the
burning Of the Pacific mail steamer
Golden Gate off Manzillo, on the Mex
ican coast.
The wreck caused the loss of 200
lives, and property valued at $1,750,-

form of bullion, and considerable
quantity of it never was recovered.

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Exemption Bill introduced by MIR
Gambler Killed In House.

Gambler Killed In House.
Atlanta, Nov. 1.-THE house yes
terday, by a vote of IA to rs, killed
the bill by Mr.. Gambler, Of DeKalb,
which proposed an amendment to the
constitution to authorize the legisles
ture to exempt church, school and coli
lege property from taxation.
Specifically the measure proposed
an amendment to paragraph 2 of sep
tion 2 of article of the constitution
of the state, so as to enlarge the pow
er of exemption from taxation of all
places of religious worship or burial,
and also all property belonging to
certain colleges, incorporated acade-
mics or other seminaries of learning,
to provide for the proper ratification
Of same by the people, etc.
The bill was strongly supported by
Messrs. Gambler, of DeKalb, its au-
thor; George, of Morgan and Akin, OF
Barlow, while the opposition was led
by Messrs. Hall, of Bibb, and Lane, OF
Sumter There was considerable I'M
terest in the measure in view OF the
fact that it was commended by the gu
bernatorial candidates in the recent
campaign, and there was every indica-
ton that it was approved by the peo-
pie.
If the recommendation of the spe-
cial judiciary committee of the house,
relative to a bill by Mr. EQlston, OF
Fulton, is favored by the house and
passes the senate, the recorder Of the
city of Atlanta will be granted author
ity to send Juvenile criminals under
16 years of age, from his court to the
reformatory.
The committee sook favorable ac-
ton on the proposed bill during
meeting held yesterday afternoon, and
it will be so reported to the house,
probably today. The bill seeks to give
this authority to recorders in cities
having a population Of $4,000 or more
inhabitants, and this makes it a local
measure. 1t is understood that the
consideration of the bill in the house
will cause considerable discussion.
The following bills have been intro
duced:
By Mr.. Floyd, of spalding-To
amend an act approved December 8.
1889, providing for the employment Of
inspectors of roads and bridges for all
counties of more than $4,000 inhabit-

bic to all counties Of more than 1900
persons.

ISSUE IN THE ARBITRATION.
Replies of the Several Coal Companies
to Statement of President Mitchell
Shows That the Mine Owners Are
Unanimous on This Point.

Washington, Nov 12.-That the an
thracite coal mine owners will resist
to the utmost every effort to make the
recognition Of the United Mine Work
ers of America an issue in the aroi-
tration which is now in progress Is
made evident by the replies to the
statement of President John Mitchell
of the miners organization which have
been filed with the strike commission.
There are five of these answers IN
addition to that of President Baer,
which was given out yesterday, ana
all dwelt with especial emphasis and
marked unanimity on this point. They
also agree in resisting the demands
of the miners for an increase of pay
for piece work, reduction of hours
for time work, and for the weighing
rather than the measurement OF coal.
Recorder Wright left for the anthra-
cite regions today, taking these replies
with him. In addition to the state
ment made for the Reading company
by President Baer, the list comprises
the replies of the Delaware and Hud-

Pittsburg, Nov 12.-President Roosa-
welt passed through Pittsburg at 10:30
this morning enroute to a point N
Mississippi, where he has arranged
to spend several days hunting black
bear as the guest OF President Fish,
of the Illinois Central railroad. He is
travelling on special train of three
cars, and is accompanied by Secreta.
ry Cortelyou, and his physician, DR.,
G. A. Lung, of the navy. He will go
direct to Memphis, Tenn, without
stops, passing through Columbus and
Cincinnati over the Pennsylvania
lines. From Cincinnati to Louisville
the train will run over the Louisville
and Nashville and there will take the
Illinois Central, reaching Memphis to-
morrow morning, where he will be
joined by President Fish and the
journey to Mississippi will be made
over the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley.
Camps Already Prepared.
The destination of the president has
been kept a secret. Hunting with a
gallery is not to the presidents liking
and it was for that reason that he
vetoed the hunt to which Governor
Longino invited him. A camp al
ready has been prepared in northern
Mississippi, few miles from the line
of railroad, and it Is said that one Of
the best packs of hounds in the south
is waiting to be slipped on the trail
of Old Bruin on the presidents arrival.
Bear is reported to be plentiful and
there are also said to be some pan
ther in the vicinity, so the president
is looking forward to the sport with
much pleasure.
The train will be sidetracked at the
nearest point to the camp and remain
there until the presidents return to
Memphis next Wednesday. The pres
ident arose early this morning and
was engaged on his correspondence
almost all day. During the short
stop here to change engines, the pres
ident got out of his car and paced up
and down the platform. large
