SECRETS OF AFRICA.

A Significant silence About the Conducl
Of British Conpaalss There.
A feature Of tho British enterprise in
East Africa is the secresy with which
the operations Of British Imperial East
African Company are conducted. In
''Whitaker," which Is supposed to give
all Official information ON al public
matters. the words mo information &C.
cessible" appear opposite the entry re-
ferring to this corporation. As the
company conducts its operations under
charter granted by tho Queen. this
sccrcsy excites criticism; but little can
be done. II Parliament should make .
fuss about it the only result would be
that the ministry would have to resign.
because the sovereign can do no wrong,
and IL any wrong Il done IL II the fault
Of the ministry.
In view Of the perils to which mill
ions Of the natives OF Africa arc sub
jected by the advance Of civilization, in
the shape Of tho British trader. It IL
thought that sufficient publicity ought
to be given to the Affairs Of the company
to insure the protection Of the natives
against outrages Of the grossest kind.
1t is recalled in connection with this
matter that in NO case. except perhaps,
one. have the doings Of any British
colonial company been sufficiently
known to permit adequate public dis
cussion Of them. Omcial secresy has
stifled the means Of the native possess
sors Of the soil Very little Is known Of
what is going ON in the Congo State,
except to the officers Of the company.
