GERMANY AND ENGLAND UNITING TO
SECURE AFRICAN TERRITORY.
Apathy Makes Him Very Weary-Emin
Pasha Has Information which Would
Prove sensational-Free Trade Losing
Ground.
During the debates on the East Africa
credits in the reichstag, Baron Won Mar
schall explained that the mission of Emin
Pasha in Africa on the part of the Ger
mans would be confined to establishing
friendly relations with those tribes in the
interior who are within the German sphere
OF interest, and to estimate the cost of
eventually forming some fortified stations
in the interior. In the negotiations with
England, regarding the boundaries of their
respective possessions in Africa, the pre-
dominating wish of Germany was to
go hand in hand with England and to
cultivate the common interests of
both countries. The object was not to ac-
quire as much territory as possible, but to
keep together what was naturally con-
nected by a course of waterways, as q
means of communication. On this point
Germany was prepared to come to an un-
derstanding with England. Gen. Won Ca
privi stated that though he had originally
warmly approved the colonial policy OF the
empire, he agreed with Prince Bismarck
that such policy could only be main
tanned with the support of the nation. AS
matters now stand the government cannot
retreat from its position in regard to colo
nial affairs without the loss of honor and
money.
For Commercial Companies.
After referring to his past GOODNESS to-
ward colonization, Gen. Won Caplivi said
that it was the aim of the government to
bring matters in the colonies to a satisfact-
ory state and then leave the commercial
companies to carry on what the empire had
begun. He fully agreed with Herr Won
Bamberger that the time might arrive when
Europe would require every mark and every
man at home. Therefore, he would not
send q single mark or single man to East
Africa more than was absolutely necessary.
Regarding slavery he said:
We must found stations, and bullet and Bible
must act in the cause OF civilization. Without
killing slave dealers you can never abolish
slavery We hope to be in position to con-
duct federal affairs so that the general policy OF
Germany will not be injured, and the just feel
ing of national pride will not be wounded.
The colonial government, he said, had
its origin in the same idealism or romanti-
cism that unified the empire, There was
surplus Of this after the war and it was
directed toward colonizing. The move
ment was injudicious-as if one had only
to raise the land to conjure forth Jumps of
gold and ready made cigars, and was be-
gun with little practical knowledge or pru-
dence. Still he cherished the hope that
East Africa would become a fitting sphere
for the investment Of private capital.
England Wearies Stanley.
Mr.. Stanley, in an interview regarding
the German movements in Africa, said that
he was wearied by Englands apathy and
pliancy in regard to the operations being.
continued to remain inactive the Germans
would secure paramount influence in Af-
RIGA. Following the advice given by him.
self, the Germans went to Africa in 1885.
and his advice had been repeatedly sought
and accepted by them since that time. The
emperor and the Fathsrland, Mr.. Stanley
said. are backing Maj. Wissman, and it is
impossible for him to fail in his undertak-
ings to advance German interests in Africa.
Could Create a Sensation.
DR.. Zucchinetti of Carlo has received
letter from Emin Pasha. dated Bag.
amoyo, March 81. In this letter Emin
says:
when I left the hospital found myself be-
tween the English and the Germans. MY de-
cision to return to the heart of Africa in the in
terest Of the Germans was soon taken when
saw that the English were endeavoring to lde-
rive advantages from the prestige Of my name
With reference to Stanley and Tippoo Tib,
have information in my possession which, If
published, would create q great sensation
Stanley will be the rst to stir up people against
me.
Free Trade Losing Ground.
Mr.. Gladstone, speaking at the Golden
club, said that the free traders must recog-
nize with great disappointment how much
ground they have lost within the last
twenty Ave years. Militarism, which was
lying like q vampire over Europe, was
responsible for most of the mischief, but
not ell, because free trade had receded in
countries where militsrism does not pre-
vail-the United States and the British
colonies.
The great republic, he said, had never
accepted the doctrines of free trade. There l
was once kind of qualified progress to-
ward them, which was checked, and opin-
ion becams retrogressiye. Still there was
great promise that the American free trade
party would ultimately triumph at the
polls. Regarding bimetalism, he believed
that it's advocates smelt therein q speedy
rise in prices. 1t was q movement in the
direction Of protection.
Stanley Lionixed.

hall was an enthusiastic affair. dense
