AFRICAN EXPANSION

The Witu Society has begun laying down track for the new Kilwa-Songea rail line into the interior of the German Black Coast. A spigot for the gold, diamonds and coal of the Lake Malawi region to flow to the coast where a coaling station is being emplaced in the port of Kilwa Masoko.

The comporate authorities of Mikindani and Kilwa have been courting the highland Ngoni and Nyakyusa peoples for use as askaris.

FIEDLERHAUS UP TO SOMETHING?

Recently Fiedlerhaus has been growing its Amerika branch with several senior figures moving across the Atlantic.

The company recently brought out the Waterloo Gasoline Traction Engine Company which in 1892 produced the world’s first ‘tractor.’ A lumbering farm machine with a six horsepower engine capable of both forward movement and reverse.

The former first mayor wasn’t available for comment.

On the Kaisers desk arrives a letter from Count Mathias von Oldenburg

Dearest Imperial Majesty, I write to you with the the most sincere respect of your imperial rule. However, as leader of die Freikonservative Partei I, I recognise it is my duty to ask Your Imperial Majesty and Your Imperial Majesty's Chancellor to ask for a general election in the Imperial Reichstag. It has been a long time since we last had an election and the people of the Reich needs to be properly represented. I hope that Your Imperial Majesty may find time to arrange this constitutional prosedure.

Your Loyal Civil Servant and Count
