The Parliamentary Commission re-
commends that the state should re-

Slavery in E. Africa
IN the German Reichslag q plea is
made by the governor Of German
East Africa for the continuation of
slavery in the colony. There are at
present $4,000 slaves in this colony.
many of them captives in wars and
others are being imported at the
present time from Portuguese East
Africa and British Cape Colony. The
arguments Of the governor are very
similar to what was heard in the
United States in the years previous
To 1860. The Socialists and Cler-
lcals in the Reichstag criticise
sharply the attitude of the govern
ment. Advertisements Offering TO
buy and sell slaves were read which
showed that the government was
fav"ring and promoting slave trade.
Agricultural Advance in Tripoli
The Italian government expects
soon To see large number of emf

states to Tripoli as a direct result
of the success that is attending ag-

tracts have been brought under cul-
tivation. The harvest of barley has
been multiplied forty times, pota-
toes have been grown with great
success.
