ABSTRACT

This chapter is a compilation of handbook to the Uganda question and proposed East Africa Railway, to connect Mombasa with the Victoria Nyanza, a distance of 700 miles, and estimated by surveyors appointed by Her Majesty’s Government to coast £3,000 per mile, say £2,500,000. It is proposed to construct this railway under a Government guarantee – as in the case of Indian railways – in fulfillment of the obligations incurred by Great Britain under the General Act of the Brussels Conference. The Railway Company would be wholly unconnected with the Imperial British East Africa Company. The chapter contains Article I and Article IV from the General Act of the Anti-Slavery Conference.
