BERLIN, February 1.-THE Reich
stag was engaged yesterday and to-day
in the discussion of Colonial affairs.
Prince Arenburg, reporter Of the
Budget Committee, declared that the
committee had arrived at the conclusion
that the Central administration was re-
sponsihle for the recent African troub-
les, and that it must in future exercise
greater Judgment in its choice Of off,
cias for Africa.
Herr Bebel yesterday made a savage
and sarcastic attack upon the admins
tration OF East Africa and denounced
the pretended civiliziDg mission of the
Colonial enthusiasts.
Chancellor Won Caprivi, replying for
the government, appealed to the house
not to make the already hard task Of
government still harder. assuring the
members that the government would do
it's best to remedy It's abuses.
Upon resuming the debate to-day, the
members of the Reichstag were aston
ished to ind upon the table OF the
House specimens of whips made out Of
rhinoceros hide, and other implements
of castigation; which, according to Herr
Bebel, were used by German officials In
East Africa TO lash the unfortunate
Dahomeyans.
Herr Richter urged that Germany
should abandon her possessions In
Southern East Africa and be content
with retaining her Northern posses
sions which, in his opinion, were ample.
After a ldng discussion the House
adopted the East Africa estimates.
