Portuaa, Will Sell.

London, Oct. 21.-Ws:le premature
reports Of the sale or lease of Portu-
guese East Africa have been denied at
Lisbon and elsewhere, there has been
general agreement among people Of
the diplomatic set tina, the future OF
that territory will be determined by a
secret treaty between Great Britain
and Germany. The differences drawn
from the Journeys of the king of Por-
tugal and the German emperor have
been elastic, and it is not probable that
the negotiations for the acquisition or
control of the Portuguese territory are
row in progress. The terms of the par
.tition, however, have been agreed upon
in advance, and these carry the pre-
sumption that the purchase or lease
will be effected as soon as the govern
ment at Lisbon is prepared to set a
reasonable price and face the popular
agitation which will inevitably follow
the alienation of national territory.

regard to Hills statement that one rea-
son for the organization of the holding
company was to prevent the danger of
raids on stock. Fill explained that the
stock held by the holding company
would be less on the market.
"How does it come about that the
Union Pacific holds about eighty mill

Germ us, but 1t does concern YOU"
questions Richards was told that
might buy Northern Securities. He did
not know that the shareholders were
willing to sell. but it would be found
that any stock might be bought. Pur-
chasers usually could find those willing
to sell. If others desire to buy North

so by Offering him enough price. We

pany is somewhere near $360.O00, 900.
