BERLIN, Dec. S.--The Reichstag adiourns
Dec. Is and will reassemble about the mid
de Of January The critical situation in
East Africa, where the Arabs are effectul
ally wiping out the German colonists and
clearing the territory of every vestige Of
the German regime, Will force more ample
explanations Of Germany's policy than the
chancellor intended. Count Herbert Bis
mark since his return from Friedrichs-
ruhe has maintained reserve regarding
the plans Of his father, giving evasive re-
plies to 'feelers' privately put to him by
friends in the reich tag. 1t is reported to-
night that the chancellor may relieve Count
Herbert OF the responsibility of making
explanations, and come himself to the reich
stag on Thursday to disclose his scheme for
the restoration of German influence Until
recently the chancellor has not had any en-
thu,iasm about the East Africa enterprise,
and would rather have avoided nation ac-
tional tending toward something like a Ton
gum expedition
BISMARCK WARMING UP.
He now feels the stimulus of the excite.
ment that is spreading throughout Ger
many, and according to official Information
is determined to protect the commercial
fac throughout the ceded territories.
There is a strong and growing party in the
relchstog which advocates the purchase of
the East Africa Company's right by the
government, and the subsequent formation
Of military posts TO guard colonists and
traders.

seeking TO make both natives and officials
serVlceable.
ARABS GOING IT ALONE.
The consular report declares that the
Arabian ele ueEt has thrown Off the sui
tans authority. With the waning of the
influence of the sultan, the company has
lost its m st important support. The con-
clusons reached, after scanning forty-four
documents includ-d in white book is
that the Germans could not be in worse
plight. There is every indication
that supremacy or ,solute abandon
ment Of the territory are the only
alternatives. Some indications Of tho chan
celloi's project appear in q dispatch to
Count Won hat2felt, the German ambas-
sador at London, under date Of Oct 22 in
which the chancellor says that the vast ex-
tent Of the country combined with it's eli
matte conditions, stands in the way of
attempts to carry civilization far into the
interior. The dispatch is interpreted as
toreshadowing an expedition into the in
terror within definite limits.
THE EMPEROR STUDYING THE SITUATION.
Emperor William is making a special
study of events in East Africa, the condi-
tons of warfare in t at region, what force
would be required and how far the opera
tons should extend. Last evening he had O
conference on the subject with Count Her
bert Bismarck and Count Won Waldersee.
The chancellor has sent Lieut.. Wissman to
Brussels to interview King Leopold with
reference to the proposed Belgium expedi-
ton to Central Africa. Prince Bismarck
fsks King Leopold to preside over
the international slavery conference, dis
placing papal precedent Reports current
tonight refer to tire plan of the East Africa
company to recruit a volunteer force of
$500 men, under the approval of the gov
ernment, for service in the interior while
he regular force occupied separate coast
positions.
HERR cARTEL's DEFEAT.
Fierce party policies have arisen over the
defeat Of the Herr Cartel candidate for the

Sat,ler demanded reelection on account of

In 1887 he obtained 1920 votes against z, go
for the combined Guelph and progressist
candidate. Now he has obtained only $500
votes against 5000 for the
opposition. The progressists are jul

proves there is popular movement against

party's vote. The Cologne Gazette attacks
Inc progressists as ready to unite with any
enemy OF German unity-Guelph, Pole,
Dane o. French malcontents-if they only
can succeed in weakening the government.
THE GOVERNMENT sNIFFs THE BREEZE.
The government organs generally do not
conceal heir fears of the tendency to alter
aron IN the popular suffrage. but argue
mat the national sentiment, which was re-
aroused at the general election, will again
give triumph TO the Cartel party.

A LATIN LEAGUE.

advocated by Spanish politicians, both
