GERMAN POLICY IN AFRICA.
DISCUSSION IN THE REICHSTAG. Berlin, January 15. A lengthy debate took place in the Reichstag to-day on the subject of German policy in East Africa. Prince Bismarck made a stirring speech in defence of that policy. January 16. In the Reichstag yesterday the German colonial policy came under review, although the debate was chiefly directed to the proposals in connection with the East African Company. The criticism of one of the members greatly incensed Prince Bismarck, who declared that such criticism was unpatriotic, and would injure Germany's prospeote in the parleying that was going on with England on certain disputed points. Prince Bismarck said that it was impossible at present to liberate all the slaves in Zanzibar, but their object was to put a stop to the slave trade in that country.
