A TEMPTING SNAEE
"Which Caught Many of England's
Shrewdest Men of Business.
A SMASH-UP OF THE SLAVE TBADE
Offered as a Bait to Get Investments in an
African Scheme.
AN IMPERIAL SUBSIDT SOW WANTED
rUT CABLE TO THI DISPATCH. 1
Loxdox, March 5. Copyright. The
British East Africa Company was formed
about sis years ago by "William Mackinnon,
George Mackenzie and some other hard
headed Scotchmen of business who believed
they could establish in Africa an empire as
crcat as that which the famous East India
Company carved out of Hindoostan, and as
profitable to the founders. Other men of
business soon joined, among them "W. Bur
dett Coutts, M. P., the young man who
married the old Baroness; Edward Daws, a
big ship owner in Indian and African
trades; Sir John Pale&ton, M. P., an ex
ceptionally shrewd "Welshman, and J. F.
Button, a great Manchester merchant.
Then it was trumpeted forth to the world
that the company intended to smash up the
slave trade, and "that bait tempted several
philanthropists to put money into the busi
ness. Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, for in
stance, took 10.000 worth or stock and
Lord Kinnairo 5,000 worth.
How the Stock "Was Taken.
Finally a list of 39 "founders" was made,
and they subscribed between them about
half of the capital, which at present amounts
to52C,140, in shares of 20, with 12 paid
up. The other half was subscribed br 550
01 the general public, in whose behalf no
claim to disinterested philanthropy has ever
been put forward.
The Mackinnon family, it should be
stated, hold between them over 50,000
worth of "founders" shares, which, il the
company should succeed as a commercial
bpeculation, would be worth millions, and
among the other leading and influential
stockholders are the Marquis of Lome, the
Queen's son-in-law, Loid Brassey, Sir
Charles Tennant, General Sir' Donald
Stewart, Major General Sir Francis De
is inton anfl Sir John Kirk, formerly British 1
Consul Ucneral at Zanzibar.
The company from the first enjoyed Gov
ernment favor, thanks to which it'obtained
a royal charter and negotiated a treaty with
the Sultan of Zanzibar, who, in considera
tion of an annual subsidy of 580,000, sur
rendered his sovereign rights on the main
land. A Master Scheme Conceived.
Money was next spent in harbor works,
and piers at the coast stations, after which
the company persuaded some philanthro
pists to subscribe money for a steamer to
trade on Lake Victoria, of course on the os
tensible ground that jt was necessary in or
derio fight the slave traders. But some
time previously Mackinnon, who has since
been made a Baronet, conceived the master
i-cheme of sending ' Stanley to "rescue"
Einin Pasha.
It is not now denied by any responsible
or disinterested person that Stanley's exve
dition was a commercial speculation in the
interest of the British East African Com
pany. Em in 's ivory was to have paid ex
penses and yielded a large profit in addi
tion, and Emin's province was to have been
handed over to the company. Stanley has
admitted that he carried to Emin a tempt
ing offer to enter the company's service.
The expedition turned out a failure, com
mercially and in other respects, but it gave
Mackinnon a reputation lor philanthropy
and the baronetcy before mentioned, and he
is now trading upon both. He succeeded
in persuading the Government that a rail
way from the coast to Victoria Nyanza was
necessary to suppress the slave trade and to
support the Protestant missions in Uganda.
.An Imperial Snbiidy Demanded.
They demanded an imperial subsidy for
the railway on pain of withdrawing"from
"Uganda, in which savage country, by the
way, the agent. Captain Lugard, ha's for
two years past been fighting and killing the
natives for the love of GoJ and the "pro
tection of the missionaries."
The Government promised the subsidy
should the construction of the railway be
shown to be practicable, and last session
asked Parliament to vote money lor a pre
liminary survey. The demand, was with
diawn in face of the vehement opposition
of the Liberals but on Thursday the Gov
ernment formally asked the House of Com
mons to vote 20,000, and the Ministers in
timated that they meant to stand or fall by
the proposal. The Liberals, headed bv Mr.
Gladstone, endeavored to compel the. Gov
ernment to give further information, and
the debate, which occupied two sittings of
the House, was tue liveliest that has taken
place this session. Mr. Gladstone, Sir
"William Harcourt and other Liberals urged
with great force that the British Govern
ment would be made partner of a private
commercial corporation and would commit
itself to all sorts of serious responsibilities
by granting the money, while the Tories re
lied upon the slave trade argument, and
upon obligations assumed therewith at the
late Brussels conference by England and
other countries.
recaliar Voting on the Bill.
The money was finally voted by the biggest
majority (98) that the Government has had
for several years, but the division was not
strictly a party one. Mr. Gladstone aiid Sir
"William Harcourt, to everybody's surprise,
abstained from voting, after having placed
on record their disavow al of the responsi
bility, which may prove useful some day.
A large number of Liberals, afraid of mis
sionary influence which is very strong in
many constituencies, took no part in the di
vision, and some voted in favor of the
motion.
The effect of all this bother is that the
British Government stands committed to
"the policy in Africa which will almost cer
tainly end in the annexation of vast terri
tories. The railway lrom Mombasa to the
Victoria N vanza, which will cost over 2,
000,000, will have to be built at England's
cost, or by means of a British Government
guarantee. It will pass through countries
admittedly fiercely hostile to the English,
and consequently working parties will have
to be protected. For many years, too, a
mobile lorce will have to be maintained to
guard most of the line and prevent the na
tives from pulling it up.
Bearing in mind the history of the philan
thropic East Africa Compauy, one may con
fidently predict that long beiore the railway
shall have been completed it will be found
necessary "in the interest of civilization"
to send British troops to East Africa.
THE CAPTAIN GOES MAD.
He Imagines the Crew Are Firing
His
Ship, and Attempts Suicide.
London, March 5. A strange story
comes from the island of St. Helena. The
British ship Regent, Captain Treadwell,
which sailed from Calcutta November 30
forNew York, arrived at St. Helena Feb
ruary 7 and reported to the anthorities that
tome time beiore Captain Treadwell had
locked himself in his cabin and had dis
charged several shots from a revolver. It
does not appear that an entrance was forced
into the cabin, or that any particular effort
was made to discover the reason for the
shooting.
The mate took charge of the ship and ran
for St Helena. Upon arrival there, he
gave the report cbo-e mentioned. The
port officials who boarded the ship broke in
the door of the captain's cabin and found
him lying insensible. An examination re
vealed the fact that he had four wounds in
his head and body. After regaining con
sciousness, he stated that the crew of the
Regent, headed by the chief mate, had
mutinied and threatened to kill him. He
believed it was their intention to fire the
ship and then abandon her, leaving him on I
board to perish. The captain's improbable J
story was not believed. The physicians de
cided that he was insane. He and his
medical attendant sailed on the British
steamer Dunbar Castle and arrived here
to-day.
MINERS WEAKENING.
The Big Two Weeks' Strike In the British
Isles May Not Happen, After All Some
Localities That "Will Not Take Part In
Any Event.
London, March 5. The outlook in the
coal trade and among consumers is some
what brighter to-day than it has been fo.r
several days past, and it appears now as if
th"e Miners'-Federation might recede some
what from its determination not to accept a
penny reduction in wages paid to miners.
It also appears probable that the gigantic
"strike" which it was proposed to begin on
March 12,or rather the two weeks' cessation
from work which was to begin on that day
in order to restrict the output and thus
compel consumers to pay such an advanced
price for coal as would warrant the mine
owners in making no reduction in wages,
will not take place.
It would not be sate, however, to make a
positive statement that events will follow
this course. Large numbers of manufac
turers have announced their decision to close
their works rather than to pay the increased
prices for coal, and the effect of this has
been to bring about an abatement in the
demand, which at one time caused almost a
state of panic The Durham miners have
held' a meeting, at which a disposition was
plainly shown to accept the master's ofler of
a 5 per cent reduction in wages, instead qt
the larger reduction, as the master firit
proposed. If the Durham miners decide
finally to accept this 5 per cent reduction, it
is probable that the miners in several other
counties will do likewise.
It was at first thought that all the colliers
in Great Britain would join in restricting
the output, but it is now known that the
South "Wales men, who have had a crisis of
their own recently, will continue work. So
with the Kinross men, who also had a flut
ter a few weeks ago on their own account,
and many collieries in Stafford and War
wick will also continue work.

If there is art in clothing, you will find it in the new .styles of Spring
Overcoats we are now displaying; Whether carelessly thrown over the
arm or encasing the form of the wearer, they cannot fail to challenge ad
miration. They are not ordinary ready-made garments, as you can find
in most any clothing store, but have been made with the same degree of care
as the most expensive custom work. The only difference is the price our
garments costing about half what a first-class merchant tailor would charge
you. Thus, for instance, vou can get an exquisite Spring Overcoat at 512 or 515, while
518 or $20 will take your choice from a grand line of choicest imported garments. We
also have the medium and cheap grades at 58 and 510. No matter what style, color or
