Steamers nnd Porters to Connect tho Sea with Lake Tanganyika. Prom tho JCcw Yolk bun. A company has been organized In Germany under the name of tho Cen tral African Lakes Company to create a regular transport borvlco from tho coast to Lako Nyassa and thence to Lake Tanganyika, employing 8,000 na tive carriers. Tho company will carry goods for the Germuu government, for the stations of Cjngo Free Stute In tho southeastern part of us territory and for the numerous missionary and trad ing posts that aro distributed over tho country. Tho advantage of this routo Is tho largo amount of water transportation it affords. Vessels from lluropo muy unload their cargoes at C'hlnde In tho Zambesi deltu and river boats will carry, the freight up the Zambesi and its Shire tributary to tho rapids In that water, A portage of sixty miles will thou ho required. At the head of tho rapids the trelght will bo trans ferred to steamboats liuuuil for thu head of Lako Nyassa, 300 miles away. Another portage of 1!0Q miles will then bo required to the foot of Lako Tan ganyika, whence German steamboats Mill bo able to deliver tho freight at ports along tlio thousand miles of Tan ganyika coasts. The land portage along tho old e'liia van route between Zunzlbar and Tan ganyika Is S00 miles In length, Tho new l'oute will Involve only 2C0 miles of land portage, and will thus affect a largo saving of tlmo and expense. Tho development of their gi;eat terri tory In Kast Africa will doubtless de mand from the Germans the building of railroad straight from the Zunssl bar coast to Tanganyika. The routo which they now propose to utilize Is to be opened becauso tho railroad which the British have completed from tho Indian oceun to Victoria Nyaiuti' AMUSEMENTS, i Fresh Oysters, H 7 The ' ijJoyce Stores 4 . 4 .
