TEE PAKTiTION OF AFRICA The Powers Ever Qnarrtllngr Over the Boundaries. On* f>n* of A'l ihe War TalK-Tb* BrltUh. As Uu A!. Will Get tbe Lion Sharn Italy* Hard Lnck 1- til* Di vide Portugal Flays Into British Hands. In recent years th powers of Europe foin 1 it t - tbfir mutuil interest to come together and reach an agreement on the subject of Africa. Things have assumed a very complicated aspect in the Dark Continent, anl the rival Power* were all at sea as to who owned certain terri- tories within its limits. Accordingly the iii|il..:u -'s h'1'1 a series of meeting* at Berlin, Paris and Vienna, and the result has become fam >us under the name of the partition of Africa. The partition was very unlucky. It Ud to no eml of disagreement. The disa- greement has now reached an acute stage in this row over tbe Transvaal. No one baa alluded to the fact t bat all tbe Powers contained in tbe partition, namely. Groat Hrilain. France, Ger- many. Italy, Spain and Portugal, claim- ed dominion over tbe rich little atrip of country known as the South .Urican Republic. It was finally ag-'eed that tin- republic should be recognized as an independent Power, but that its foreign relations should be entirely under the control of Great Kritain. In return for this Portugal was permitted to ac- quire possession of a large slice of coast territory in the e istern part of Africa. It was a very unfortunate bargain. It is tbe cause of all tbe trouble to-day be- tween German v and Great Britain. Ger- many claims that Oreat Britain has not kept faith with 1'. oecause it has ADVANCED MONEY to Portugal (somebody U always ad- vancing money to Portugal and never getting II back), wilb tbe distant under- standing that Portugal should place her territory in Africa at the disposal of Great Britain. It will be remembered that t| M . King of Portugal was lately in London on bio usual errand of bor- rowing money; and the violation of the partition to uce (he diplomatic term, is alleged to have been then coiisuniin.i'i' I Now tbe violation of tbe partition is Emperor William'* exeuae for having sent liis fampue message of congratu- tion to President Kruger; of eo it is impovii'ile to determine which side is right. There is always the awkard ethical conundrum oi the right of tbe Powers to divide Africa up among them- selves anyhow. Of all tbe Powers. Italy ha* had tbe worst luck.
