the high regard in which our present
senator is held by the country at large.
He is acknowledged one of the lead

state much greater prominence and

states of several times our population.
He also ranks well mp with his pre-
decessors.
Mr.. Dillingham; NAV not be quite a~

newspapers quite as much as some
others. but big men seldom do. They
are not worrying about the tenure OF
their office. They are simply working

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Another Ger

rived safely in port at $3.50 o'clock this
morning.
The usual wireless signals announc-
ing her approach to port, given at
Cape Race or Sable Island, were lack
ing about the time they should have
come, and, as the Kaiser Wilhelm
was due in port yesterday, some APP
prehension was felt regarding the
steamer.

that the wireless was purposely
omitted, because of the war situation,
and that the steamer had made her
way to port as secretly as possible

Sail for Germany.
special to the Evening star.


HoBOKEN, Aug. 5.-Demonstra-
tions brought on by patriotism to
| the mother countries led to police
interference today. Following the
| scenes yesterday when a young man
| tore up and trampled on Russian
| flag, it seemed to be the general
practise today to do the same thing.
| One crowd cheered and made so
much noise while the st. Andrew
| Cross was trod. under foot that sew
eral policemen ordered 1t to disperoe.
| On the whole, however, the men
have been orderly.
They are all in Hoboken in the
hope of getting back to Europe.
Most of them are Germans. one
man said yesterday that by Sunday
there will be $4,000 Germans in New
York and Hoboken seeking some
way TO get back to ths Fatherland.
Another said that an attempt VIII
be made to charter steamship to
carry back the horde of Germans
who are now anxious to return 30
the Fatherland. He says that a
German in Manhattan, whose name
he would not give, stands ready to
put up 100000, to purchase or hire
a vessel to carry home the great
number of Germans who are irving
to get back to their native land.
In addition to the detectives, Who
are armed, and who have been en-
gagged to do guard duty at the piers
in Hoboken, fifty of the city's police
were sent to the Hoboken docks.
The fear seems to prevail that
some attempt to blow up or otherwise
injure the ships lying at the piers will
be made. There are more than one
hundred armed guards aboard the
Vaterland and nearly as many more
about the Hamburg american piers
and near the gates to protect the
property of the company from an at
tack of any kind.
Coal barges are lying alongside the
Vaterland this afternoon and she is
taking on coal. This is taken to mean
that perhaps she is about to leave the
pier on a mission of some sort, but
not on a passenger carrying trip, as
no word has been sent to the passen-
gers who had booked passage on her
when she was to sail a few days ago.
officials at the pier pretend not to
know anything of the arrangements
made by the company for the sailing
of the big ship. They claim they are
in ignorance of the doings OF the
officers in Manhattan.
At the North German Lloyd docks
the Barbarosa is also being coaled
and provisioned today and it will not
be surprising If she is started off
at any time in the very near future
on a mission similar to that of the
Kronprinz wilhelm, which secretly
left the Hoboken pier just after dark
on Monday night. At the piers moth
ing could be learned about the pos
sible sailing of the Barbarosa.

SOME COLONIES OF
POWERS IN DANGER
Possessions of European Ma

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Four Of the
six powers of Europe enveIoped by
war clouds have colonial possessions,
protectorates and dependencies scat

Austria and Russia have
no colonial possessions, though the
Russian empire stretches through the
continents of Europe and Asia and
presents a long coast line on the
Northern Pacific. OF the others, Great
Britain has colonies and protectorates
the world over: France has colonies
and protectorales In Africa, india,
China, in South America, in the West
Indies. in the North Atlantic and in
the Pacific and Indian Oceans; Ger
many has colonial possessions in
Africa, in China and III the Pacific
Ocean, and Italy has dependencies in
Africa and a concession in China.
Great Britain's vast dominions, In
Ola, Canada and Australia; her hold
ings on the Malay Peninsula; her
colonies in Africa and her fortified
positions in the Mediterranean. Glib
raltar and Malta, put her at the head
of the colony holding nations of the
world. They also increase the field
Of her protective operations in case
she becomes involved In war with
Austria-Hungary and Germany and
possibly with Italy.
Many of the minor holdings of the
four powers with colonial possessions
to defend are themselves without
military strength. In many cases the
protecting power has only very small
garrisons on shore, amounting to
nothing more than local police forces.
This is particularly true in Africa.
outside of the French and British
colonies, in the Pacific Ocean and in
American waters.
The continent of Africa presents a
notable picture of the juxtaposition
of protectorates and colonies belong
ing to Great Britain, France and
Germany.
France has a protectorate over
Morocco, and her Algerian possess
sions, facing the Mediterranean, are
bounded on the east by Tripoli, a
dependency of Italy. Then comes
Egypt, where British interests arc
paramount. On the Red Sea and
contagious to Egypt. is the Italian
dependency of Eritrea. Coming down
the east coast are British Somaliland
Italian Somaliland, British East
Africa, German East Africa, Portu-
guese East Africa and then British
South Africa, embracing Rhodesia,
