papers in the house.
The petition is signed by Van Vorhees,

in public places throughout the district
since his election, and states specific acts
of drunkenness during sessions at several
terms of court in the counties or the DIS
trict; that he was addicted to the habit of
going to places aud drinking liquors il

crpMANYS AFRICAN POLICY.

berlin. Feb 5-Chancellor Won Ca
priv in the reichstag today, III defending
the African policy of the government, said
it disavows the lines laid down by Prince
Bismarck, who once declared that Lord
Salisburv's friendship was worth more
than the entire coast of North With
Emin Pasha and Major Wissman, he
added, can remain in the service OF Ger
many if they so desire. Continuing, the
chancellor said:
Our efforts are now directed toward
developing what we possess. We are
beginning from the coast, not from the
lakes. In be north no difficulty is eX-
perienced in constructing caravan routes,
linked by small stations. The country IN
the south is not yet pacihed. and we do
not know how long the wor OF paclfylng
il will last it is necessary to re-OrganlZe
the troops and we shall appoint man IN
vested with the largest possible powers.
Throughout east Africa an attempt Is
being made to divert trade from IanzlOa
Before this is accomplished several decad
may elapse We shall have trouble ana
toll for a long time to come. Yet nothing
need deter US from the work. We have sc
lected Dar-es-Salam as the center of adj
ministration. Regarding the slave ques-
ton. we must consider the feeling OF the
coast population. Baron Soden was the
best man to send to east Africa. There
was still ample scope Tor Mayor lSSnlall
and Emin Pasha as subordinate to Baron
Soden."
Herr Richter approved the treaty with
England but he doubted the wisdom OF
the policy of limiting German develop
ments to a strip along the coast. The
Government, he said, ought 10 clear up the
difference between Maj. Wissman anC
Emin Pasha. Ii seemed advisable to him
tRichter} TO recall Maj. Wissman fol
bringing unjustifiable charges against
Emin Pasha.
The chancellor here declared that the
dispute between Maj. Wissman and Emir
Pasha was not ripe for discussion. He re
gretted that Maj. Wissman bad beer
Judged so favorably. The Germans II
Africa owed their success to Maj. Niss
man above all.
Gen. Won Caprivi stated that 1t was th'
emperor himself who instructed the chan
cellor on May ,. 1890. to arrange an agree
ment with England with reference Il
colonial affairs. The emperor fully eN
planned all points involved. The basis o
the negotiations. ht said, centered in cas-
Africa. The interior was to be abandoned
and Zanzibar. where Engiands claim
were paramount, WAS TO be surrendered IN
return for English recognition OF Ger
many's claims to the east African coast.
