DIVIDING THE DARK CONTINENT.
England and Germany Agree as TO TIL

England and Germany Agree as to Their
Respective Slices.
LONDON, June 19.-The difficulty in
Africa between England and Ger many as
to the division of the territory 1as been
settled by diplomacy, but few points be-
ing yet to agree upon. One of the Sc is the
subject of dispatch from Lord Salisbury
to Sir Edward Malet. British am bassador
to Berlin which declares that Gtrmany's
coast another power may not without the
consent of the first power occupy un-
claimed regions in the rear cam OF be al
lowed in cases where the country is eccu-
pied by Englishmen. Where there are no
English settlements, Lord Sails bury adj
mits that there is no English title
Outline of the Agreement.
The agreement is that England retains
the Stevenson road, which is to be the
boundary line between the English and
German spheres The line stretches from
the mouth of the Boukera. west from
Lake Nyassa to the mouth of the XII
lambo south, and from Lake Tanganyika
northward. Germany retains the region
rs far us the Congo state along the first
ucSFtt sotth tdtttuut, the al
verging around the western shore of the
NyanZa. so as to make the fron Ter meet
the territory covered by Stanley treaties
Germany comedies Vitu with the islands
of Somoli, Manda, aud Patta, &C mprising
coast line exceeding 200 miles, England
is allowed the exclusive protectorate over
Zanzibar and Pemba. Heligola nd is CON
coded to Germany. subject to the consent
of parliament
Some Inconsistent Politici ans.
The London papers mostly approve the
agreement, but The Chronicle di5approves
and calls it capitulation to Germany. The
DIRECTORS to the premier's concessions,
however, are by no means consistent The
Radicals, for instance, admit chat they
themselves advised the cession of Helico-
land in return for German concessions in
Africa, but they declare their inability to
see that Germany has made any conces-
sions. 1t is possible, however, that they
would have been just as blind, for polit-
ical purposes, il Germany had surrendered
her entire interest in Africa md with
drawn her last man from that territory
The Liberals are a little less inconsistent
than the Radicals, but will st outly op-
| pose the agreement when it comes before
parliament, for purely political reasons.
