GERM ANY IN AFRICA.
The Reichstag Discusses the Slavery and
East African uestions.


BERLIN, December 14th.-In the Reich
stag to-day DR.. Windthorst, in moving his
resolution relative to the suppression OF the
East African slave trade, said the resolu-
ton was based upon the speech from the
throne, and that Germany should cooperate
with the other powers. The full initiative
should be left TO the Government. The
Reichstag must confne itself to general
proposals, but it should also, irrespective of
religion or party, proclaim its dues.
Wearmann National Liberal) and Hell
dortf CONSERVATIVE approved the resolu-
ton.
Count Herbert Bismarck dwelt at length
on the evils of slavery, the suppression of
which, he said, devolved upon Germany as
a duty of honor. So far England has cor
daily supported Germany, and the Gov
ernment would endeavor to continue nego-
tiations with France. We shall neglect
nothing, he said, that our duty to Ger
many's renown and honor dictate. He
hoped the Reichstag, when it meets again,
will unanimously support bill which will
rebound to the honor of the Government
for many years.
Bamberger regretted that many brave
live were jeopardized, and protested against
supporting the East African Company out
of the taxpayers pockets.
The debate was continued at length, and
the motion finally adopted, only the So
cialists and New Liberals opposing.
