ical situation in East Africa, where the
Arabs are effectually wiping out the
German colonists and clearing the ter
ritory of every vestige of the German
regime, will force more amble eXplana-
lions of Germany's policy than the
chancellor intended. Count Herbert

There is strong and growing party in
the reichstag which advocates the pur-
! chase of the East Africa company's
rights by the government, and the sub
Sequent formation of military posts to
guard the colonists and traders. A
"white book" tabled in the reichstag
to-day blameS the company'S admins
tration as
PRODUCTIVE OF DISASTER.
Writing early in October to the Ger
man consul at Zanzibar, Prince Bis
marck said: "The company ought to
have better respected the national pre-
judices. The natives ought to have
been treated judiciously. The sultan is
seeking to make both the natives and
the officials serviceable." A consular
report declares that the Arabian ele-
ment has thrown off the sultan'S author
itv. With the waning of the influence
of the sultan the company has lost its
most important support. The conclu-
sion reached after scanning the forty
four documents included in the white
book" is that the Germans could not be
in a worse plight. There is every indi-
cation that supremacy and absolute
abandonment of the territory are the
only alternatives. Some indications Of
the chancellor's project appear in a
dispatch to Count Won HatZfeldt,
the German ambassador at London,
under the date of Oct. 90, in which the
chancellor says that the vast extent of
the country, combined with its climatic
conditions, stands in the way of at
tempts to carry civilization far into the
interior. The dispatch is interpreted as
foreshadowing an expedition into the
interior within definite limits. Emperor

Fierce party polemics have arisen

votes against 1880 for the combined

| gressists are jubilant. holding that the
| victory is not isolated or phenomenal,
| but that it proves there is popular
movement against the Cartel parties.
