the RelcnSdnZ6lSef gives Jno details OF
the agreement between Germany and
England in regard to Africa. Lord
Salisbury's dispatch to Sir E.
B. Malet, the British ambassa-
dor at Berlin, containing the
agreement with Germany, declares that
Germany's claim that where one power
occupies the coast another may not,
without consent, occupy unclaimed re-
gions in the rear, cannot be allowed in
cases where the country is already
occupied by Englishmen; but where
there are no English settlements,
England has no title to adj
vance against the German claims.
The agreement, as collated from the
foregoing dispatch and from the special
edition of the Reichsanzeiger. of Berlin,
is as follows: England retains the Ste
venson road, which will be the bound
airy between the English and German
spheres. A line stretches from the
mouth of the Bokura, on the
west shore of Lake Nyassa,
to the mouth of the Kilmbo, on
the south shore of Lake Tanganyika.
Northward Germany retains the region
as far as the Congo state and along the
first degree of south la titude, the bound
airy diverging around the western shore
of the Nyanza to include the mountain
MfumbirO, in
The British Sphere,
in order to make the frontier coincide
as nearly as possible with the region
covered by SANKEY'S treaties. With the
view of securing the freedom of future
commerce the passage of German sub
jects and goods will be free and exempt
from transit dues between Lake Nyassa
and the Congo state, and English goods
and subjects will be equally exempt
between Lake Tanganyika and the
British sphere. 1t is further agreed
that in all East African territories sub.
jected to their influence, equal rights of
by the two powers respectively on their
subjects. Other missions are to be
granted freedom of religious teaching.
The details of the frontier between
Ngamiland and Damarsland remain to
be settled by Sir Percy Anderson and
DR.. Krauel, but it is agreed that in the
latitude of Lake Ngami up as far as the
18th deg. south latitude the German FROM
tier shall coincide with the 21st deg. east
longitude. In Togoland the frontier
isrectifed, securing the mouths of the
Volta to England and giving Germany
access to the Volta river at higher
point of its course. Germany cedeS
With, the islands of Manda and Patta
and SOmali, comprising a coast line Of
over 200 miles to England; so that eX-
cept the Congo state, there will be no
competition with the British influence
between the first degree south latitude
and the borders of Egypt along the
Whole Country Lying South
and west Of the Italian protectorate.
Germany consents that England shall
assume an exclusive protectorate in the
sultanate of Zanzibar, including the
islands of Zanzibar and Pemba. Eng
land will assist Germany to obtain the
cession OF the German coast line hitherto
rented from the sultan on the payment
of an equitable indemnity. England,
considering Heligoland useless since
she lost Hanover, will cede it to Ger
many, subject to the consent of parlia-
ment. The date of the trans
fer will be the subject of nego-
tiations, and the inhabitants will
be entitled for a certain period to de-
present customs tariff will be continued
twenty years. Other colonial disputes
in Africa are reserved for friendly
settlement, and the status quo will be
preserved pending the ratification of
the present agreement.
Calls 1t Mismanagement.
Mr.. Labouchere, the whole opposition
supporting, moved to adjourn in order
to consider the ''serious state of public
affairs which the governments misman-
agement had caused" Mr.. ParnelI and
others spoke in favor of the motion.
A division resulted in the rejection of
to 1s1. Mr.. Smiths motion will
propose that in future sessions,
after July Is, and in the present session
after day to be hereafter appointed,
none except money continuance bills,
and bills returned from the house of
lords with amendments will be further
considered, but they will be adjourned
to the following session. Mr.. Smith
announced that if, as he hoped,
this standing order was adopted
he should ask the house to adjourn the
land purchase bill until the next ses-
sion. Replying to Mr.. Gladstone, Mr..
Smith consented to have bills printed
embodving former proposals of the kind
made to the house. After Mr. Smith
replied with reference to the
progress of various bills. Mr..
Gladstone complained strongly
that everything appeared to be sacri
feed to the passing of the licensing bill
MIR. Smiths statement, he said, instead
of being, as was expected, harbinger of
Shortened LabOrs,
was. on the contrary. distinct intima-
ton of a session of indefinite length.
He asked, in a tone of eXpostula-
ton and entreaty, if the governt
ment was determined to insist
upon this bill to the detrimen-
of other valuable bills. Mr.. Smith re-
piled, in effect, that obstruction had de-
layed the passage of the bill, but that
the government yet hoped to pass it and
Others. He declined. in answer to Mr..
lO'Connor, to say anything about the
Irish local government bill. Gladstone
asked for the appointment of select
committee to examine the proposals to
be made to-day. In committee on the
licensing bill, Mr.. Winterhottom ac
cused two members of the government
of being interested in tavern property.
Mr.. Storey then moved that the salaries
of a, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach and
Messrs. Long and Powell, officers
of the government, be disallowed.
The three officials in question
then made explanations, after which
Mr. Winterbotham apologized for his
remarks. Replying to Sir William Har-
court, Mr.. Smith explained that the
government had no intention to propose
committee to examine the question OF
licensing and compensation, unless it
was the general wish of the house.
