CUT PORTUGUESE COLONIES IN TWO

Secret Treaty Said" to Exist Between Germany and Great Britain, LORD CR4NBORNE IS EVASIVE Under Foreign Secretary Refuses to Discuss Matters, Claiming if Pact Existed He Could Not Be Expected to Make the Contents Public. The secret clause of the Anglo-Ger-man treaty relates to the acquisition of the Portuguese colonies in Africa, By this clause Germany will acquire the northern part of the Portuguese possessions as far as Beira, while Britain will take over the remainder, as well as Deiagoa Bay and Lorenzo Marques. The general belief in London that a secret treaty is in existence between Germany and Great Britain relative to the prospective division of the Portuguese possessions in South Africa received some support a fortnight ago, owing to the evasive reply made on the subject by Lord Cranborne, under foreign secretary. He parried all queries, saying that if such a treaty existed he, in the nature of things, was precluded from giving its terms. Terms of Concession. Details of the alleged treaty were published in December, 1899, by the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, which stated that Germany, besides receiving Portugal’s Asiatic possessions, would, in return for a payment to Portugal of $6,250,000, receive all the Portuguese territory in South Africa north of Mozambique, except a strip of land three miles wide for Mr. Rhodes’ ♦ransafrican railway. England would on her part receive the remaining Afriean possessions of Portugal, which contain 2,000,000 square kilometers and 13,000,000 inhabitants. The consent of Portugal to this arrangement, it was said, had already been obtained in principle. Treaty Rights. In the crisis of the South African war it was regarded as highly probable that Britain would exercise the right of pre-emption she obtained under the Anglo-Portuguese agreement of 1891. This instrument says that “in the event of the two powers proposing to part with any of the territories to the south of the Zembesi, the other shall be recognized as possessing a preferential right to the territories in question or any part of them.”

ALMOST A MIRACLE.

Case No. 49,763.— Mr5. M. Isted, of 1207 Strand street, Galveston, Tex., who is proprietor of a boarding house at that address, numbering among her boarders a dozen medical students, says: “I caught cold during the flood of September, 1900, and it settled in my kidneys. Despite the fact that I tried all kinds of medicines and was under the care of physicians, the excruciating twinges and dull aching across the small of my back refused to leave, and trouble with the kidney secretions began to set in. From then, ordinary Anglo-Saxon fails to describe the annoyance and suffering I endured. The fearful pain through my body, loss of appetite, loss of sleep, consequent loss of energy, and, finally, indication of complete dissolution compelled me, from sheer agony and pain, to either He on the floor and scream, or forced me into spasms. On such occasions my busband called in a physician, whose morphine treatment relieved me temporarily. I grew weaker and thinner,and so .run down physically that nothing was left but skin and bone. All my friends, acquaintances and neighbors knew about my critical condition, and on one occasion I was reported dead and they came to see my corpse. At last the doctors attending me held a consultation and agreed that if I did not undergo an operation I could not live. Preparations were made, a room selected at the city hospital, and they even went so far as to have the carriage brought to the door to carry me there. I don’t know why, but something told me not to go, and I absolutely refused. Now I want the reader to grasp every word of the following: A friend of ours, a Mr. MeGaund, knowing that my kidneys were the real cause of the entire trouble, brought a box of Doan’s Kidney Pills to the house, and requested me to give them a trial. I had taken so much medicine that I was more than discouraged, and had little, if any, faith in any preparation. However, I reasoned if they did not do me good they could not possibly make me worse, so I began the treatment. After the third dose, I felt something dart across me like a flash of lightning, and from that moment I began to improve. The pain in my back and kidneys positively disappeared, the kidney secretions became free and natural. At present I rest and sleep well, my appetite is good, my weight has increased from 118 to 155 pounds, and my flesh is firm and solid. My friends actually marvel at the change in my appearance. Words cannot express my own feelingfl. lam not putting it too strongly when I say I have been raised from the dead. I am satisfied that had it not been for Doan’s Kidney Pills, taken when they were, I would have been either lying in the Lake View Cemetery, or an invalid for the balance of my life. I will be only too pleased to give minuter particulars of my case to any one calling on me, not, of course, out of idle curiosity, but if they really have kidney complaint and want to know what course to pursue to get relief.” A FREE TRIAL of .this great kidney medicine which cured Mrs. Isted will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

GAYLORD LOSES DRAINAGE SUIT

Judge Hilscher Dismisses Case Against Chicago Channel Trustees. NO RIGHT TO DEVELOP POWER Holds Use to Which It Was Proposed to Put Privilege Sought to Be Acquired Is Not In Accordance With Public Policy. Chicago dispatch: Ths Gaylord syndicate has lost its suit against the sanitary district of Chicago. In a decision handed down Judge R. W. Hilcher, sitting in the Circuit court of Will county, ruled that on the showing made Gaylord and his associates had no right to develop power caused by the flow of the drainage canal, and for this reason Gaylord’s petition for condemnation was dismissed. Judge Hilscher’s decision is short but pointed. His ruling was based on a contention that the waterway cannot be converted to private uses. The attorneys for the syndicate announced that an appeal would be taken to the Supreme court and that an effort would be made to induce an early ruling from that tribunal. Gist of the Decision. Judge Hilscher’s decision was as follows: “I have not prepared an opinion discussing the various questions raised and the argument of this motion, for the reason that the conclusion I have reached renders it necessary that the questions Involved be submitted to the Supreme court before any further steps be taken in the proceedings. Admitting the constitutional right of petitioners -in a proper case to take private property by condemnation for a grist mill and navigation purposes, in order to make the case a proper one the purpose of such taking must be for a public use. It is clearly the duty of the court in this kind of a case to determine whether the purpose of taking is for a public or private use. If the purchase is in fact for a private use, though under cover oi pretense for a public use, then it is the duty of the court to deny the exercise of the right of eminent domain. / Dismisses the Suit. I After a‘careful consideration of the petition and evidence and the authority cited as well as the mill act and th(e sani|ary. district act and the wellknown industrial conditions, of which it is the duty of the court to take notice, I am led to the unavoidable conclusion that the purpose of the determination as sought in this case is not to acquire property for a public use, but is to acquire public property for a private use. “Even if the public use be admitted, I have the most serious doubt as to whether the use to which it is proposed to put the property sought to be taken is not inconsistent with and destructive of the public use for which it was acquired and is held. “The motion to dismiss will therefore be sustained.” Belongs to the People. The litigation involved the right of the drainage board to develop the water power at Lockport and Joliet for public use. Concerning the matter Trustee Baker said: “I have never doubted that the courts would sustain us in our contention that the water power of the drainage board belonged to those who created it, the taxpayers of the city of Chicago. I feel sure that the Supreme court will confirm the opinion of Judge Hilscher.” During the progress of the suit charges were made frequently that big Chicago interests were supporting Gaylord in his fight.
