CHRONICLE OF THE WEEK.
.IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,
—THE UGANDA TROTECTORATE. w
HEN the House went into
Committee of Supply on Thursday, the first Vote was for ¿£80,000, being ¿£50,000
granted to the Imperial British East Africa Company in respect of the surrender of their rights in East Africa, and ¿£30,000 as an amount in aid of the expenses of the administration of East Africa. Sir E. Grey made a short •statement in explanation of the Vote, and went over the •arrangement with the Company. The territory consisted of ten miles round the coast, which was under the control of the Sultan of Zanzibar, and of the country lying between this ten-mile zone and Uganda, which was under no settled authority at all. If the interior was to be retained and controlled, communications must be established, and the Government had, therefore, come to the conclusion that it was necessary to construct a railroad between Uganda and •the coast. This announcement was received with some cheering by the Ministerialists above the gangway and by great cheering from the Opposition. As soon, therefore, he continued, as the necessary arrangements could be made,
the railroad would be begun; and though there was no money for the railroad in this particular Vote, he assured the House that no unnecessary delay would take place. The next point was as to the administration of the country itself, and in order to provide for that the Government proposed that the whole country between Uganda and the coast, (including the ten-mile zone, should be under a British Protectorate. The conditions of the country beyond Uganda itself remained unaltered, and would not be included in the Protectorate. No part of the Protectorate would be administered by the Sultan of Zanzibar, and the whole country would be placed under the direct control of the British Government. It would be administered on the same lines as Uganda itself, by officials who would be placed under the authority of the Consul-General at Zanzibar, but who would have no connection with the Zanzibar Government. It had been estimated that the amount of money which would be necessary for the administration of the territory from which the East Africa Company had retired would be thirty thousand pounds. Pie concluded

— MR. CHAMBERLAIN
AND SIR W. HARCOURT.
Mr. Chamberlain expressed the greatest satisfaction at the announcement by Sir E. Grey, but he wanted to know why it had not been made, as
Lord Rosebery had promised, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whom he keenly attacked for his violent speeches in the past against a Protectorate and the railway, and for being now a member of a Government which proposed both. The two points on which the Government policy was incomplete, were that the Protectorate was not extended to the countries round Uganda, and that the statement made no reference to the claims of the Government to the countries on the Nile. The Chancellor of the Exchequer explained that it would have been unworthy conduct on his part if he had taken the statement out of the hands of so competent a colleague as Sir E. Grey. He had not changed his mind at all with reference to Uganda. The Company had failed to sustain its position, and was abandoning the country, and the late Government had made no provision for what was to follow from the evacuation. The country could not remain derelict. Having resolved to hold it, it was necessary to establish some means of communication less expensive than caravans. He doubted whether it would be possible to establish a new India in Central Africa. Mr. Chamberlain’s language in reference to the Valley of the Nile was dangerous to the peace of the world. It was no part of the policy of the Government to establish a Protectorate over the country beyond Uganda, or to extend British occupation to the Valley of the Nile.
In the House of Commons on Monday,
- the^ tatue on the R ep0rt 0f Supply, Mr. McCarthy cromwell. moved the reduction of the Vote by ¿£500.
Mr Hayden seconded the reduction, and with much warmth complained of Mr. McCarthy being called on to lead the Opposition on a question which he himself had brought to the present point. He spoke of the fiendish and cruel behaviour of Cromwell towards the Irish people. Mr. Morley expressed sympathy with the Irish members, and he condemned Cromwell’s Irish policy; but amid the laughter of the Irish members and the Opposition, he was tempted into a warm and angry eulogy of Cromwell, very little of which was heard above the loud din and com.
