HE officers of the Toyo Kisen Kaisha steamship Hongkong Maru asserted at noon yesterday that she was not going to make any- thing but her usual time to Hono- | lulu. She went out under easy steam, but | when last seen by the Merchants’' Ex- change lookout at Point Lobos there was | a line of smoke a quarter of a mile long | | behind her. -The Hongkong Maru is go- | ing-to make time to Honolulu. | The Oceanic Steamship Company’s new | mail boat Sonoma left port just 2 hours 3 | minutes behind the Hongkong Maru. The | former made a record run from Philadel- | phia to San Francisco, but then she is | brand new and it will take her six months |to “find herself.”” All the parts do not | work in harmony, and until these differ- | ences have been adjusted the Sonoma will not be able to show what a really mag- nificent liner she is. In .\‘Nlle of the fact that the Sonoma's bottom till rough and that she has still t nd herself,” bets were freely made ¥y erdu)' that she would beat the Hongkong Maru all the way from eight | to twelve hours to Honolulu, The officers | on the Sonoma said that she would run | on schedule time, but the lookout at Point Lobos reported that when Pilot Jordan went aboard the America the mail boat | also began to “‘smoke up,” and when last | seen she was making at least seventeen knots an hour.

There were some narrow escapes on the bay yesterday. About 4 a. m. the fog be- gan_ to roll in and three hours later it was “thick enough to cut,” as the boat- men sey. The tug Sea King was on her way to sea with the ship Cromartyshire, when along came the tank steamer George Loomis. But tug and steamer were blowing their whistles, but there was a misunderstandin; omewhere and the Loomis crashed into the Sea King. The latter lost part of her rall, but was not seriously damaged, and went to sea with her tow. The Loomis was not hurt to any extent and she also continued on her way to Ventura. Smuggled Goods Seized on the Hero. Eighty-three packages containing Jap- anese and Chinese curios were seized yes- terday on the ship Hero by Customs In- spectors as lmufgled BOO The Hero arrived recently from the Orient.

The British bark Auldgarth arrived from Port Stanley yesterday. She brings here the cargo of the Mistley Hall, which came near to being wrecked in the At- lantic. It was only by the hardest kind of work that captain and crew got the battered hull into the harbor of refuge. . Beula, an upholsterer employed in the Palace’ Hotel, fell down the stairs in his home at 425 Broadway and broke his leg. He was treated at the Harbor Hos- pital by Drs, Robingon and Bauer. ——— BRITISH SHIP CASTLE ROCK NEARING PORT Vessel on Which 50 Per Cent Has Been Offered for Reinsurance Is Safe.

The plane of ref there are but of the Africa of the New Century. Copyright, 1901, by Seymour Eaton. XI1V. The area of Africa is 11,514,000 square miles. Hence, with the exception of Asia, it 1s the largest of the continents, and | occuples more than a fifth of the entire | land surface of the globe. Europe is small | in comparison, being less than a third as | large. But let one glance at the political map | of Africa. At the extreme northwest is the Mussulman kingdom of Morecco, whence in the eighth century the Moors poured into Spain. At the extreme east, cut off from the sea and shut up in its mountains, is the Christian kingdom of Abyssinia. At the southern extremity of the great western bulge is the petty re- public of Liberia, founded early in the nineteenth century by American philan- thropists as a home for freed or recap- tured slaves, and enjoying still the pro- tection of the United States. In the vague Sahara, south of the Turkish province of Tripoli and northeast of Lake Tchad, is a sandy tract left to the unconquered Be- douin, Save these four regions of ins! nificant extent—Morocco, Abyssinia, beria and a part of the Sahara—the whole expanse of the map is marked over with the names of those European powers which assume to be the proprietors, the real though distant landlords of thln con- tinental estate. Except in those four re- glons nothing is left as the political pos- sesajon of the African, to be administered in some primitive fashion by himself. He has thus become the subject of the Euro- pean. The European continent impends over the African continent as its master. No census of the population ever has been or could be taken. Any estimate must be based upon conjecture, and Is entitled to no more credit than an intelli- gent guess. These guesses range from 155,000,000 to 165,000,000 as the probable num- ber of the inhabitants. orocco is the country nearest Kurope, and has been known sinte the time of the Romans. Of its people it might be presumed we should bave definite information. But the Moor- ish Sultan, Mulal-Abd-el-Aziz, cannot tell whether 2,750,000 or 9,400,000 human beings are subject to his scepter. Thus much do the best authorities differ as to the population of this one little state. The Abyulnlan Menelek II rules over from 3,- 5,000,000 souls. In Liberia it i; sup oled there are between 1,000,000 an 3,000,000, and in_the unconquered part of T Saharh probabiy 1000000 more. Thus in these four states, or districts, fnclud- ing altogether less than 1,000,000 square miles of‘territory, there are from 8,000,000 to 17,000,000 persons. All the rest of the African continent, about 10,000,000 square miles, is claiméd as their territorial prop- erty by the European states. All the rest of the African people—from 115,000,000 to 150,000,000—are asserted by those states to be their tributaries and vassals. These statistics of dimensions and numbers might be dull, were it not that they dem- onstrate as nothing can the resistless ar- rogance and self- asserllvene!l of Euro- pean brawn and bra This foreign domination or appro fln- tion of Africa is commonly indicate the term ‘“cccupation.”” A foreign s&ate forth a claim to certain territory. s claim is acknowledged by other foreign states or by that forelgn state which has an adjacent claim. The wishes of the inhabitants are not consulted in the matter. They are not supposed to enjoy and do not exercise any influence in the decision which profoundly affects themselves and their property. In the vast majority of cases they do not know that they have passed from a condition of savage independence into subjection to some soverelgn or nation of which maybe they have never heard. But the claim once recognized in Europe at a conference called a convention, the map Is adjusted to indicate the new supremacy. e SOV ercignty_over the native becomes tran: ferred. If on some future day he resist: a representative of his self- Tpolnzed rul- er, he is regarded and probably treated as o rebel. He cannot appeal to internation- al law, wheth knows him not. He has no hope except in the humanity and ener- osity of his master. In other wo! the same principle and practice have been ap- Dlied In out day to Africa which in the sixteenth century were applied by the European_states to the newly discovered ‘Western hemisphere, The lahd In America was regarded as destitute of inhabitants, or, at most, lived upon by inhabitants who had no political and almost no other rights. Treatles with the natives were in general only addition- al precautions for the defense of the new- comer. Some nations were less inhuman than others, but the process of convert- ing the ““unoccupled” into the “occupled was everywhere the same. The justice or injustice of the process has never changed. If it was wrong when, at the end of the middle ages, undreamed-of re- ons were re\eulra to the wonder of rope, it is wrong now. It was no more and no less right then than it is now. This “occupation’ is up to the present day a thing denoted on the face of the map rather than an accomplished fact. It does not mean that the laws of the foreign possessor are enforced, or that his flag floats over all the territory to which he has asserted pretensions. It indicates a measure in view of future action rather than present enjoyment. It Is a declara- tion of what is hereafter to be done, rath- er_than a doing of it to-day. Nor does it have primary reference to the value of the land appropriated and to its capability of development or coloniza- tion. Each nation seeks to forestall the others, so that in the contingencies of the futnre it may be found in prior possession. freed or lust for achllslllon was a main characteristic of ropean nations during the last decades of the nineteenth century.

No one nation was able to appropriate and secure the whole. BEach grasped what it could. Nor were all the acquisitions of any sin- gle states contiguous to one another. They otted the surface in seizures of various | dimensions. Thus the African map re | sembles a crazy quilt t In its delineation of frontiers. Sometimes tiie boundary line follows the course of stream or the bar- riers of mountains. More often it is deter- mined by meridians and parallels of lat- itude, irrespective of the ground. In this recent race for empire three na- tions e led the van—Great Brital France and Germany. None of them ha much 0 40 with the dircumnavigation and lnvesll,\uon of Africa in the period of Teat discoveries four centuries ago. Great ritain and France, like Spain, were first to devote their energies to regions wes: of the Atlantic. Portugal, which found the southern route to India, circled Africa with its factories. Holland, escaping from the tyranny of Spain, made settlements at the extreme south. Reminders of thess Portuguese conquests still exist in Angola and Portuguese East Africa on Jpocka sides of the peninsula. All that Holland possessed passed to Great Britain at the close of the Napoleonic wars and becamc the nucleus of what is now the colony of the Cape of Good Hope. Finally the Dutca colonists, called the Boers, detesting t British yoke, trekked to the east. Aft countless hardships and vicissitudes thev pressed inland and founded the two re- ublics of the Orange Free State and the ransvaal. The Ottoman empire in the reign of Selim the Ferocious conquered Egypt and by that acquisition won for its Sultan the title gnd rank of _aliph. Un- der the Corsair Khairedden Pasha, better known as Barbarossa, it subdued the whole western coast of Africa in the aays of Francis I and Charies V. Broken into various Barbary States those pet countries terrorized the Mediterranean and acknowledged only nominal subjec tion to the Sultan. fterward France completed what ot own Commeodors De catur had begun. She humbled the Dey of Algiers and in 1530 took permanent pos- session of his capital and coun.ry. Yet even then, at a time so recent, de- sire for the acquisition of Africa hardiv existed among the European states. Great Britain indeed wished to retain the colony of Bierra Leone, which had been founded, like Liberia, as an asy'um of emancipated slaves. Also she smoully guarded the Cape of because of its strategic importance. But in 180 she for. mally withdrew from the rising colony of Natal. In 1854 the British- llament voted the British colonists then resident in the Orange Free State the sum of £48.000 as Indemnity for the withdrawal of Brit- ish protection. It was then deemed exp=- dient to avold all incumbering responsi- bilitles in the heart of Africa. To this temporary indifference on the part of Great Britain. and to this absten- tion on the part of France, the story of the last thirty years presents a marvelous contrast. Disunited Germany in 1871 found herself a consolidated nation on the proc- lamation of Wiiliam I as German Emperor at Versailles. She, who had counted little in the political congress of the gcoplea. now became a world power. She was ardent to extend beyond the contracted limits of her old boundaries. France, di- minished in area and enfeebled by a dis- astrous war, sought reparation and con- solation anywhere for what she had I Great Britain had mean time become as eager for African territory as were the French Chamber of Deputiés and the Ger- man Kaiser. It would be tedious to narrate the subse- g\un! ste’)- in the partition of a continent. tarting from Abyssinia as & base, France has pushed toward the equator and reached the Ivory coast of Upper Guinea. Beginning from ke Tchad, she has oc- cupied ail the northern or right bank of the Congo. Also between German province of Togoland and the Bflthh ter- ritories on the Niger she has absorbed the kingdom of Dahcmey. of execrable mem- cry. She deposed the Dey of Tunis and annexed his territory, thereby Incurrin; the lasting resentment of Italy, who ha: counted on Tunis as sure to fall to her. Altogether France is acknowledged as su- preme over more than 2,900,000 square miles in Africa. The German empire has taken 1,000,000 square miles, comprised in four great provinces—Togoland, between the right bank of the Niger and the Gulf of Guinea; Kamerun, northeast of the Gulf of Guinea and west of the French Congo; German Southwest Africa, which reaches from Portuguese Angola to the Onn mver north ot tha colon{x of Good German East Africa, south of Lake Viorie Nyansa wnd noseh of ihe Perve guese province on the channel of Mosam- bique. But Great Britain, in extent of ter- fitory, In importance of position and in undeveloped resources, has absorbed for herself the lion's share. The statement that more than 3,000,000 square miles are already British conveys little appreciation of her relative paramountey. e list of her African colonigs. protectorates and dependencles serves Tather to fatigue than to enlighten. Between the Orange and Limpopo rivers the still unconquered Boers resist her domination, as thelr an- cestors three centuries ago contended against the might of Spain. But she en- velops the mainland with her islands, con- trols almost every harbor and with a sin- gle break of only a few hundred miles spans the prodigious area from _the Enu(h of the Nile to the Cape of Good ope. ln the very keart of Africa, Intersected by the equator, is the Congo Free State wedging its way to the shore. It com- prises about 900,000 square miles and is subject to the King of Belflum South of the Red Sea and the Guif of Aden are Itallan Eritrea and Italian Somalfland, wrested at a terrible price from Abyssinia and more_assoclated with disaster than success. West of the channel of Mozam- bique is the French island of Madagascar, larger than France. Off the northwestern coast are the Spanish Canaries and the Portuguese Madeiras and Cape Verdes.
