A New Book About Africa.

In a closely printed volume OF more than
three hundred pages Mr.. EDGAR SASDERsoN
has undertaken to trace the history of Africa in
the Nineteenth Century tScribners). Here will
he found not only an account Of the Dark Con-
tinent as 1t has been divided recently among
European powers, but also an outline OF its his
tory during the last hundred years. To South
Africa. for instance. arc devoted no fewer than
four chapters; to Egypt and the Eastern Sou
dan no fewer than three: to the French in
North and West Africa, two. There is. in truth.
no question connected with tho existing or the
prospective condition Of Africa upon which a
good deal Of light Is not thrown by the hook be-
fore us. We purpose at this time to call atten-
ton to subjects overlooked. or but cursorily
treated In other recent works dealing with
Africa. as. for example. the state OF things in
Morocco. in Abyssinia and in the few surviving
native States.

! 1891 and 1850. when We always accepted and
honored Russian cheques; until after 1873
when the young Austrian Emperor found more
favor in the sight OF tho RUSSIAN than did the
King OF Prussia. and the Russian arbitrator
gave his decision In cold and hard terms
against Prussia and the German aspirations,
taking full payment for the friendly services of
1891 by forcing on us the humiliation OF
OlmGtZ. Afterward we gained a considerable
advance on Russia in tho Crlmean war and In
the Polish instruction of 1853. and though In
the last-named year we did not accept AloXan-
der lis personal summons to war. and he
shoycd his annoyance at this and about the
Danish question. this only proved how far Rus
sian claims went beyond equality. and were be-
ginning To- demand actual subordination.'
II is acknowledged by bismarck that before
1890 Prussia could only claim the title OF a
great power cum Ordno sails, and that after
the Crimean war she considered IL necessaryto
sue for an outward recognition OF this position
by dancing attendance at the Congress Of Paris.
Prussia then confessed that she required the
testimony OF other nations In order to look
upon herself as a great power. She did not
feel up to the standard OF Gortschakofr's
speech about Italy. Une 1randep uissance ne Sc
pas. ellie Sc rerelc. The revelation
that Prussia was a great power had. indeed.
been previously recognized on certain occa-
slons in Europe. but 1t had been weakened by
long years OF cowardly policy. which at last
expression in the pltiful part played by
at the Paris Congress. Her belated
could not obscure the fact that a
great power requires for its recognition, above
all else, the conviction that II is one and has
the courage to prove it.
In a subsequent notice we shall invite atten-
to the second volume Of this work.

The connection OF Italy with Abyssinia NAV
be outlined In n paragraph. The advance of
the Italians from Massowah had been resented
by King John. and. In 1887. Capt. de Cristo-
foris and 800 men were all killed by Abyssinian
forces. save one man, who reached the coast,
stripped and wounded. A large enforcement
was despatched from Italy, and during the
wars OF succession in Abyssinia which followed
the death OF King John the Italian commander,
Gen. Baldassara. took possession of Kerim and
the Asmara country. The Italian Government
supported the claims OF Menelek H., King OF
shoa. who had always befriended the Italian
explorers, and he was now helped with large
gifts OF muskets and ammunition. Thus
aided. Menelek became NeRus. or Emperor Of
ETHIOPIA, in 1889. under n treaty with the ItaI-
ians. binding him not to concede to any foreign
power any portion OF his territory, nor to make
treaties Herewith. nor to accept any foreign
protectorate. This treaty OF Uchaii was
construed by the Italian Government as
placing Abyssinia under Italian protection.
but II turned out that Menelek took a different
view Of his position. Through Italian media
tion, he obtained arms and ammunition from
Belgium. and soon provided himself with an
army OF 7O.OOO men. abundant military stores
and twenty cannon. His Queen. Taitu, an am
bilious and strong-mindod woman. supported
him In his determination to repel all foreign
interference or assertion OF q protectorate.
Meanwhile, the Italian Government. in pursu-
ance OF Its own aims. had claimed possession
OF THE Red Sea littoral from Cape Kasar to the
Strait of B~ab-el-Mandeh. comprising Mas
sowah. Assab and the adjoining territories.
