ANOTHER LETTER FROM STANLEY

The following latter from Me Stanley to Sir Franola de Wlaton is published in the English papers:— O.MS. Station at M«alala, South and of Lake Victoria, Außnst 31, 1889. My deir de Wlntoa.—We arrived bare on the 28th, Inst and foand ; THK MODBEN HVINGSTONK. . Mr A M. Mackay, si»fuiy and comfort ably established at this mission station. I bad always admired Msck»y. Ha had never jjloed the missionaries' attaoka on me, aad evary fact I had heard about him indicated that I should find him an able and reliable man. When I saw him and ■ome of bis work about here, then I re* oognlaed the maa I bad pleaded In the name of Mtesa should be Bant to him iv 1875, the very type of man I had desoribad ' as necessary to confirm.Mtesa in hla grow ing love for the white man's oreed. A packet of. newspaper catling* wns given to ma on orrlra 1. The contents of moit of them have perfectly bewildered me. i am strnok with two things— namely) the, laok of oommnn sense ex ■ hlblted by the writers, and the utter dis tagard of accuracy shown. ' - ■'" ' * '" EMIN' PASHA * "■'"•'■ Now, In the Eaoin Pasha affair thai latest blue book whioh Lord Iddesleigh /.,. famished me with contained many expres ■ionß through Eruin Pasha's letters whioh ■eemed to preve that he had faithfully / maintained bit post until he could learu ' ' from his Government what its intentions were, and that he had force enough with . him to depart In almost *>ny direction to wards, the sea if such was the Govern ment's wish. By the Congo, by Mpn - battu, or via Langgoland and Masai were equally alike to him. But on November 2, 1887, forty-two d*ys before I reached > •' the Albert Nyanza, he writes to his friend r Dr.Felkin,'' Don't have any doubt about my intentions, I do not want a rescue ex : -, • peditjon. Have no fears abont me. I ; .nave long made up my mind to etay." All this ii very unsatisfactory aDd inex plicable. He also said that ha had Bent tearohiog parties iathe direction I was . anpposed to come. On December 15, 16, 17, I made in quiries of the people at the sonth end of Lake Alb rt, and they bad seen no steamer or strange boat siDoa Mason Bey's visit ia 1877. Consequently this absence of news of him cost us a 300 mile journey to obtain oar boat and oarry her to the JSyanii. With this beat we found him within three days. Finally he steamed up to our camp ; but instead of meetlag ' '. with one who hadloog made up hh mind, ;, < li'mln Pasha had not begun to am Ice op his

mind either to stay or go away wltb U3. ■He would firat hare to oonsulfc bis people, •pattered unoDg fifteen station! over a Urge extent of coun'ry. I foresaw a long stay.; bat to avoid that and to the Pasha ample time to oonelder bis ' answer and learn the wishes of his people, I resolved to go back even to Tambov* to ascertain the fate of the rear column of our expedition under M»jor Bittlelot. This diffidence on the part ti the Parha oost me another roogh march of 1300 miles. When I returned to the Nyas>Z3, »f;er eight months absence, it was only to find that Emm Pasha and Mr Jepbsoo, one of oar officers, who stayed with him as a - witness, had been made prisoners four months previous to ibis third arrival of oats on the Nyanzi, and that; the Invasion of the Pasha's province by the Mahdlets had utterly upset everything. When Mr Jephson according to com mand detached blmaelf from iho Pasha *nd cune to see me, I learned then for the first tlma that the Pasha had had no province, government, or soldiers for nearly five yacrs, that he was living nn • disturbed, and that somn yielded soino tlmes to his wishes, apparen ly through mere sufferance and laok of legitimate arouse to oast him off utterly. Boi when he permitted himself by a guest of swa'c <eo«d optimism to venture into the pre sence of his soldiers be was at onoe tfceaied, Insulted, manaced, and im ptlsJ^ed POOB BAETTELOT. I must siy • word abont poor Barttelot. He was* major in the British Army. His Tery manner indicated him to be a frack aaUant, daring, and perhaps somewhit dangeious nature if aroused. His friends who introduced him to me in London spoke of him in some such terms. Tbey named the campaigns he had been in and what peruonal service he had performed. As I looked at the Major's face I read courage, frankness; combativen- sb, in Jarre quantity, and 1 B»id to these friends, "Courage and boldness are common characteristics among British officers, but of the moot valuable quollty for on «xpedit»on like this I have not heard anything. 1 hope yon can add 'for bearanoe.'" The on^y quality, perhaps. in which he was deficient was that of forbearance, though I promised mygaif - ' that he ebonld havo little chance to exer j eifecombativenesi. Xetyoumrist notthink this was a defect in him. It was merely the result of high spirits, youth, and good constitution, He was just pining for irork* I promised him that he should have so much of It that he would plea 1 to* reat, Bat unfortunately want it •offiolent vessel to float the expedition .mt one time on the Uppet Oonßo oom celled me to leave about one-half of my •tores in obar*e of Mr Troop at Stmley pool aud 125 men nnder Me3»rs Ward aDd Bonny at Bolobo, and as the M»j->'r was sonlor officer and Mr JamEeon was an Afrioan traveller of experience, after due eonilderatton it was oonoaslve'that : ihat no other two men could be fi:ter tor the post of guarding the c»mp at Yam 3>uya, With me for the advance column ■■? weie lileutenant Stairs, B.K, very intelligent and able; Oapt*ln Nelson, of 4he OolonW Forces; Mounieney JepJ son * 4jlvlllao to whom wotk wises much a vital oeoeesUy as bread § and Surgeon T. - H.

The onif two who knew the .language were Messrs Ward and "Troop* »ad they were not due at Y»m boya «»til the middle of Angaat. it nave been wise to hove placed either Stelra, JSelson, or Japhsor, instead of Major Battielot, the senior effioer, and Mj Jameson In flommind of Yambuya ? I feel sure yon will agrsa with me, I made toe best choice posiible. When young offioexs, English, German, or Belgian, come to Africa for many roontbs there U no Abatement of that thirst for action that promptitude for work, that Impatience to be moving whloh characterises them at home, Ansemla has not sapped the energies and thinned the blood. They tfe more combative at this period than •nY Other.

Wei', \i l& happened that the Major, forgetting olf Inßtruotlons as to forbearance, met these Ar«> #re eaters, and the censequenoe was tnat (be Major bad to employ the Syrian, Fercao, to interpret for him. Whether the man interpreted falsely I know not, but a coolness arosa between the high spirited nephew of Tippo Tib and the equally hlgh-eplrlted young Maj jr, which was never satisfactorily healed up acd which in the long ran led to the ever-to be regretted deeth of poo* Barttelot.

THE AILEOED ATEOCITIE3,

In re * trooities on th 6 Ooogo, I do not know who made the horrible statement that 1 have seen conr ected with tfce names o! Major Barttelot and Jameson. It la eimply inconceivable noqsenoe—-a eensa-' iionrtl canard!' The-Kev irWllmot Brooke bM written a letter to the "Tlmee" about «'atrocities on the Amwlml," There 1b ooe

P, a w °f a BenU ";' " lioil roada aB fo^owa: ' Eye-wiU Hiiiep, both < uglish and Ara^, havti f<.v nroa in« that it is a common thing which \.uy themaelves have aeen In paae jng through tbe Manyema camp, to see hurnaa hands and feet sticking out of their oooking pots." The quos'.xon t should like to aak is, '♦ Who are those English who have seen this curious eight— hands and feet stroking out of cookvug pots V Mr Wilraot Brookes is an inde •• pendeut missionary Becking for a nest. It mast be that t'aeie is something of au "w travelled " look about him for him to have been chosen as the recipient for this interesting ''Police Gazette" item I I would not mind guaranteeing that "thoßo Euglish" are ,aa unclißCovered aa, Pree^r John's traditional crown.

The; tale is sometimes varied—that it was not a photo graph, but a eketoh that someone wished to make, Was this Jameson or War 3 ? —for both are, or were olever with the pencil, And why should a penoll artist wish to delay the execution ? Coald he make an instantaneous sketch ? Might ho not at auy time have made a aketbh of "a weapon" uplifted to strike—the position of the vlotim and slayer 1 Melton Prior is one of the quickest artlsta I ever knew, but evea he would think it impossible to sketch the lightning stroke of a eabre. ; But I might go on at this rate for aver with the " infinite-finite " nonsense I find In print In these scraps. Major Bartte lot did punish men twice with severity, but slcguhr as tt may seem, the white person who «ooosej him was present on both ocoasions daring the flogging soene —he never even protested. The seoond time ho gava his verdict at a fair trial— •' death " —and signed the document con signing him to Instant doom.  SUMMARY JOBISDIOTOK.

Lisbon, February 12

Mr Gladstone and Mr Albert Bright supported Sir W. V. Harcourt's motion re the forged Parnell letters. Mr Smith leader of the House of Commons, ac cepted the suggestion by Mr Parnell that be should insist on the admission of the forgeries by way of amendment to the Address in Beply, and congratulated the hon. gentleman on bis innocence being proved, It is rumored that Mr £alph Disraeli is to be raised to the peerage. Sir James Pergusson, in reply to a question in the Houseof Commons, said arbitration would not apply to such a case as the dispute between England and Portugal. (Received February 14, 2 p.m.) London, February 13 In the House of Commons Mr Gladstone approved of Lord Salisbury's policy in regard to Portugal and com mended the steps taken by the Go vernment to bring about a settlement in the Samoan and Swaziland affairs. He urged that pressure should be applied to the Transavaal Government to admit Englishmen liviog in that country to the franchise. He generally approved of the South African policy where England's colonial possessions were not unworthy to compare with those in America and Australia, He referred to the scandal in regard to Moussa Bey's atrocities in Armenia and to the disorders in Crete. The im provement in Ireland sprang from the hope of the salutary influence of im proved methods of agriculture, and be hoped that if local Government were conceded to.lreland in a liberal spirit it would be accepted, but if offered in a niggardly manner it would produce new agitation.. The Right Hon. W. H..Smith said that it was certain Moussa Bey would be retried for his complicity in the Armenian atrocities. There was no ground to fear a renewal of hostilities in Crete in the spring. If the Opposition would assist, Government would intro duce a Bill to constitute District Councils in England and Scotland. There was no intention to proceed witb the measure providing tor assisted Education this session, and until the agreement with the Powers had been made ansqlute, there was no intention I to proceed with the Sugar Convention.

Dunedin February 13

The Sweating Commission to-day ex amined — Miller, Secretary to the jFeder atesd Seamen's Union, as to the effect' of Trade Unions In reducing the number of boys engaged in trades. He stated that in a number of trades, not included'in any Union, a great number of boys are employed instead cf men. This had a tetdeocy towards the redaction of wages. He referred to agricultural implement makers and railway workshops. : There should be more Inspectors of Factories. He kuew instances where no notice wu taken of letters pointing out breaches of the regulations. So far is he,knew, the inspector had seldom seen nny factories. The large employ meat of boys w»b due la a great measure to leek of Trade CToio I and exceEslve competition* The only, way of mseticg tbe difficulty created by new machinery w*« by short ening the honrs of labor. A better plan than the appointment of a Board of Oon olilatloß would ba the appointment of a permanent Judgje, whose duty would be to act as Chairman of a O-mmlitee re presenting both sides of the question, whose dsoiolon should be legally binding. A good p'ao would ba to have a Oonrt of Oincll atlon to recommend a course of aotlon before taking any matter to the suggested Court. As to lute shopping, the Legislature should Interfere to pre veut the pn>c*loe, by Imposing the neces sity oi the shop owners of dismissing their a tendaots »t 6 Shipping bands did not eho? after 6. Tbe present Board of Done li st Im in oonnectljn with the Ttiloressea 1 OoUd was absolutely OBeless.

On January 29 he started work at 7.25 and was not relieved till 9 ; be had had no food. On going to tbe office he was told he had to go on at 30 again, in which ctee he would not have got home till .12.30 and would have to resume at 7 25 next day.
