Chronic misfortune attends German
enterprise in East Africa. The Wissmann
expedition has effected nothing as vet.
The whole credit voted by the Reichstag
has been swallowed up by the expenses
for the transportation of freights and the
hire of Soudanese and Somalis. The ex-
cess in expenditure will necessitate an
immediate appeal to the Reichstag for a
further credit, thus confirming the pro-
gressist predictions that the government
calculation of the colonizing operations
would prove recklessly false, The ex-
plorer Rohlers, formerly Consul at Zanzi-
bar, in an address at the Colonial Con-
ference at Munich, declared that Captain
Wissmann would fail to re-establish Ger
man authority unless backed by an ample
force of German troops. Hepredicted that
Captain Wissmann's mercenaries would
revolt at the first chance and join the
Arabs. In the meantime the commerce
of the coast is annihilated, the Indian
traders reporting an absolute cessation Of

hard up, says the New York Tribune.
He has written to Queen Victoria asking
her to give him the famous Koh-i-noor
diamond or its market value in ready
cash. He wants the money to use in
India against the peace and integrity
of the Empire, circumstance which,
coupled with the fact that the gem doesn't
belong to him any more than to score
Of other Sikhs, makes his request seem
uncommonly cool. The son Of the Pun
iaub Lion is in pretty bad way.
