Business In German East Africa.

The German officials here seem to be
Well satisfied with their colony; They
say 1T is richer than British East
Africa, and in support of their state
ment point to the fact that it already
has a larger native population. British
East Africa has something like 4,0oo.-
900, and this country has 100000 or
S,00G.000 The most of the colony is
high and healthy. 1t has extensive
grass lands. and many OF the natives
are more than ordinarily thrifty.
Take. tor instance, the lands along
the kagera River which flows into the
lake on the edge of Uganda. met
two officers here who have been sta
toned in that country. They, tell mo
that the soil is fertile. and that it is
covered with thick sod of fine rich
grass, Much Of the country is mile
the residence of white men. These
officers tell me that when railway com
munication can be made German col.
will be developed as an agricultural
and stock raising. region. At present
it is thickly populated by natives why
rear many cattle. sheep and goats.

The IlnEcrn River,

The Kagera River rises not far from
Lake Tanganyika. and the lower por-
ton OF it can be made navigable for
steamers. 1t flows not far from the
line of the Cape to Cairo road, and It
may form an important link In the
chain of rail and water which. is to
go north and south through this. CONT
nent. It Will connect that road with
Victoria Nyanza. I am told that IL
the bar ut its mouth Is dredged out,
boats of considerable draft can steam
so near to Lake Tanganyika. that the
building Of fifty miles or so OF railroad
will practically connect the two lakes.
AS tits now. it is the intention Of
the railroad builders to use Lake Tan
ganyika, which is 400 miles long. and
Lake Albert Edward and Albert Nyau..
IA, both quite extensive, as part OF
the Cape tc Cairo system. They are
all deep and easily navigable. Indeed
the richest part of that route Will be
through The Nile and It's waterways.
The road is now within about 400 miles
from the southern end of Lake Tan-
ganyika, and it will need only q short
strip to Join this chain Of lakes, and
another short strip from the end OF
Albert Nyanza to Gondokoro. where
there is steam navigation for 1000
miles down the Nile to Khartum, the
end Of the Egypt and soudan Railway
