and which are dangerous -you are warn

history are vouched for by reliable in

The Rev. Father Durgin may be

A Murderer's Choice.

In Greece the death penalty is said
to be often pronounced, but the diff
fculty OF obtaining executioners was
for a long time almost insuperable.
II was at last surmounted by giving
to a murderer the choice between his
own death or accetance Of the Office
OF permanent executioner. The man
lives alone in an old tower built by
Venetians on an islet outside the port
Of Nanplia. where necessaries are taken
TO him every morning by the boatman,
who Is careful to exchange no word
with him. Twice a year a steamer
calls for him and his instruments Of
death, and he leaves upon tour Of

A sea wall has been built at cost of
$4,000 600 and great piers and light
houses have been put up. Railroads
are being constructed to the coal fields
of Weihsien and Poshan, which are
about one hundred miles in the in
terror, and these mines are to be work
ed by German capitalists.
The concessions from the Chinese
are such that the Germans practically
control Shantung, the province behind
Kiauchau bay. This province is rich
in agriculture and minerals. 1t has
excellent coal and also mica and dia-
monds. It has 30000,0 900 inhabitants,
and is right in the heart of the most
populous part of China, so that if the
Germans can hold it it will be of great
value as a market.
GERMAN MERCHANTS IN ASIA.
The Germans are about the best of
the foreign merchants of Asia. Their
houses are to be found at every treaty
port, and their banks are everywhere.
At Tsingtau they have put up good
hotels and large business establish
ments. The town has electric lights,
telephones and water works. 1t has
wide streets, blasted out of the solid
rock. and good roads which extend far
out into the country.
There is a large German colony in
Shanghai, another in Tien Tsin and
others at the different Asiatic ports.
Indeed, have yet to find a great city
in Asia, whether insideior outside Ger
man national influence. which has not
its German importing and exporting
firms. The Germans today are the
best traders among the nations, and
although their colonies are the poorest
in natural resources. they are fast ac-
quiring big share in the foreign mar
kets Of the world.

of Zanzibar; it is known as Oar es
Salaan, and it has now something like
$4,000 inhabitants. When the Ger
mans took possession of the country
this place had only a few hundred ma
tive huts and several stone cabins. 1t
soon grew to a town of 10000, and it
has been growing at the rate of 5000
a, year ever since. It has now eight
German exporting and importing firms,
hotels. There are many native shops
kept by Arabs and Hindoos who have
come over from Zanzibar, and there
are also Greek and Portuguese mer-
chants. There are several large Ger
man companies which have agencies
here, their plantations being scatter
ed through different parts of the col
ony.
SOME NEW ENTERPRISES.
One of these new companies has a
big rubber plantation, another is set
ting out coffee trees and third has
begun to raise cotton, having imported
a number of colored students from the
,Tuskegee College in Alabama to aid in
the work. Labor can be secured for
a few cents a day, and if these enter
prises succeed they will probably open
the way to a large industry.
At present all sorts of experiments
are going on in East Africa. The
Germans are planting cocoanut trees
in the lowlands and coffee trees higher
up. They have set out quinine plan
tations and are beginning to raise to-

bacco, rubber, sugar, cacao and tea
There is excellent pasture on the high
lands and gold in the mountains.
Quantities of garnets, agates and to-
PAGES have been found and diamonds
are looked for but so far none have
been discovered. East Africa has
better connections with Europe than
the west coast. There are regular
steamers to Zanzibar and Oar es Sa-
laam, and the latter may in time be-
come the chief seaport of east Central
Africa.
GERMANY IN THE PACIFIC.
During my stay in Australia
learned much of the German possess
sions of the Pacific. The largest of
them is Kaiser Wilhelm's Land, the
northeastern part of the Island of New
Guinea 1t consists of a territory
twice the size of Indiana, inhabited by
a population of one or two hundred
T, thousand savage Papuans. This coun-
try is being developed by a syndicate.
and until about four years ago the
syndicate was the supreme power. At
present the administration is in the
! hands of the Kaiser, who has appoint
, ed a governor for New Guinea, the
| Bismarck archipelago and other ISL
ands of the Pacific. The governor
spends part of his time on the Island
of Neu Pommern and a part in New
Guinea.
| Altogether there are less than a
| hundred whites in Kaiser Wilhelm's
! Land, and of these only seventy-eight
! are Germans.
| The New Guinea Company is still
carrying on its plantations and trading.
i 1t has fields of cotton and tobacco and
stock. Horses, cattle and goats are
doing well, but sheep have so far prov
ed failure. The North German Lloyd
| steamers to Australia sometimes call at
| New Guinea.
SOME GERMAN ISLANDS.
Almost adjoining Kaiser Wilhelms
Land is the Bismarck Archipelago, con-
sisting of several large islands ruled by
| the Germans. The New Guinea Com
pany has also houses there and it con-
trolls the greater part Of the trade.
The Solomon Islands belong half to
| Germany and half to Great Britain and
the Samoans have been divided be-
tween Germany and the United States.
| In addition to these the Kaiser has a
vast number of islets scattered
| throughout the south central Pacific
ocean. He has the Caroline Islands,
the Marshall Islands and all of the
| Ladrones, except Guam. He got the
Marshall Islands in 1885 and the Caro-
| lines and Ladrones shortly after we
| took possession of the Philippines. All
| of these islands are little more than
coral rocks covered with slight vege-
| tation. They have but few inhabi-
/ tants, and their chief export is copra or
dried cocoanut meat. The Carolines
are not SO very far from the Philip
pines, and the people are somewhat like
| our Filipinos.
THE KIAUCHAU COLONY.
| 1 learned much about Kiauchau dur
| ing my last visit to China. 1t includes
! altogether about 200 square miles of
| territory, which was transferred to
| Germany on ninety-nine year lease in
1898. The administration is now under
| the German navy department and its
ruler is a naval officer under the title
of governor.
Indeed Kiauchau is a naval colony
with a commercial attachment. 1t is
a fortified naval station, the harbor
having been improved for that purpose.

BLACK GERMANS OF ToGoLAND.

build railroads and canals and to pro-
vide steamship communications. 1t is
now setting out plantations of cacao,
coffee, tobacco and rubber, and is ex-
perimenting in the raising of cloves.
ginger and pepper. 1t has factories for
palm oil, and trading houses in differ
ent parts of the country. The imports
there now amount to about two mil
lion dollars a year, consisting chiefly
of German goods. The exports are less.
This syndicate is building a railroad
from Victoria on the coast to the town
of Lisoka in the interior.
The Kamerun population is much the
same as that of Togoland, consisting of
Bantu negroes and similar races, which
have a slight admixture of Hamitic
blood. The chief town is Kamerun, al
though there are other important sta
lions.
GERMAN SOUTHWEST AFRICA.
The German possessions in southwest
Africa are almost entirely controlled by
a German colonial company, entitled
the Deutsche KoloniaI Gesellschaft fur
Sudwest- Afrika. This syndicate has
charge of an area ten times as large as
the state of Ohio, with a population
half that of Cleveland. The country is
of little value. 1t is mostly desert,
with a few grassy GASES scattered over
it. Some of it is as barren as the worst
of the Sahara. and the most of it can
not be cultivated.
Nevertheless the Germans are set
ting out plantations in the lowlands,
and are experimenting with cotton, to-
bacco and vineyards. Some of the
highlands are good for grazing, and on
the edge of the desert are ostrich,
farms. But little prospecting has been
done for the precious metals, and it is
doubtful if they exist. There are now
about 5000 Europeans in this colony.
EAST AFRICA UNDER KAISER.
The Kaiser has better lands in east
ern Africa than in the west. His
possessions there are populous and
more susceptible of development. The
territories are found along the central
part of the eastern coast of the CONT
nent, extending north and south about
600 miles. They are bounded on the
north by British East Africa, on the
west by Lakes Nyassa and Tangan-
yika and on the south by Portuguese
Africa. They are right on the great
route across Africa and in one of the
best settled portions of the continent.
The land here is high and salubrious.
At the northern boundary of the terri
tory is Kilimanjaro, the highest noun
tain on the continent, and a little far
Their over is Victoria Nyanza, the larg-
est lake.
The railroad which has been project
ed from the cape to Cairo will go
through this territory, and it will be
cut at right angles by railroad which
the Germans have laid out to connect
Lake Tanganyika with the sea oppo-
site Zanzibar. Already fffty-four
miles of railroad and many good wagon
roads have been made.
GERMANY's AFRICAN METROPo-
LIS.
The capital of German East Africa
might be called the center of the Ger
man interests. 1t is situated on the
sea coast a little south of the Island
