THE STANLEY EXPEDITION.

A FAVOURABLE REPORT. ,

(KEUTUr's TELEGRAM, VIA ALBANY.(

London, November 11. A Reutek's telegram from St. Paul de Loanda states that on August Bth Stanley had left the camp, which had been established about eight days' march from Mabodi, and had ad vanced direct towards the western shore of Lake Albert-Nyanza. Stan ley had experienced considerable diffi culty iv the march, in consequence of the fatigue experienced by the men. T. ho natives, however, showed them selves disposed to help the expedition iv every way. On arriving at tho western shore of Lake Albert-Nyanza, Stanley intended establishing himself on the slopes of the fertile mountains there, and despatching a small advance guard towards Wandelai in the steel whaleboat, but this plan was modified, in consequence of tho receipt of news that Emm Pasha was in good health and the country greatly tranquillised. It is hoped that lippoo Tib's caravan, which is reported to have been des patched via the river Inboaroa, will reach Stanley in time to be of use.

Sir Charles Warren, Chief Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, was present during the proceed ings. A procession waa formed, and started to march down the Strand, but the police immediately scattered its members in all directions. On Sunday two journalists, Eennet Burleigh and Wicks, were arrested in Trafalgar Square for declining to "move on" when requested to do so by the police, maintaining that as members of the press they had a right to remain.

London , , November 11. Lord George Hamilton, First Lord of the Admiralty, replying at tho Guildhall banquet for the Navy, said he was hopeful we were on the eve of an arrangement by which a special squadron, supported by colonial funds' would be added to the navy of the Empire. Theee arrangements, he stated, were not only good in them selves, but contained the germ of a spirit of co-operation between the navy and mercantile service, and between the colonies and England, which might hereafter be capable of indefinite ex pansion.

UPPER QUEEN-STREET LEVELS.

DISCUSSION IN THE CITY

COUNCIL.

The Upper Qucen-stroefc Committee laid fcli c following report before the City Council last evening:—" Your Committee beg to report that they convened a public meeting held in the Council Chamber on Thursday, the 17th November, 1887, at 7 p.m., of the owners of property in Upper Queen and adjacent streets to 'consider the desirability of cutting Upper Queen-street to its per manent level, or of adopting the other im provements suggested by the Engineer; also the question oi ways and means. The meeting was attended by upwards ot 100 ladies and gentlemen, and after full discussion was adjourned until Thursday, the Ist December, 1887. At the adjourned meeting, at which there was a large attendance, the following reso lutions were carried, viz. :—(1) "That this meeting considers it inadvisable to cut down Upper Queen street to the 22ft level, but would recommend the Council to take the necessary steps to build a retaining wall and grade the street from Rokeby-stircet to Karangahape lload at its present grade, and kerb and channel both sides." (2) " That the City Council be recommended to take immediate steps, in accordance with the resolution just carried, to have the dotted line on the plan declared the per manent level. 1 ' Your Committee recom mend that the Council give effect to those resolutions.

The Chairman moved tho adoption of the report. He stated that if this recommenda tion was carried into effect the consent of every property-owner affected by the alterations must be obtained, otherwise the Council would bo liable to pay compensation. He did not anticipate much objection, and he had been informed that as soon as the deed had been prepared the consent of those interested could be obtained.

In reply to Cr. Crowther, the Mayor stated that there uld be no altera tion of the levels at the far ende of the street.

Cr. Atkin asked if one portion of the street was altered against the will of any resident, no matter whother his property be adjacent to tho al teration or not, would not the Council be liable to pay compensation.

Tho Mayor : "Thatis just the question." Councillors Phillipps and Patterson were of opinion that if no lowering or raising of the street was made in frorit of a man's houso he was not entitled to compensa tion.

Cγ. Holland moved, as an amendment, " That the second clause be omitted."

Cγ. Buchanan thought that tho matter should be referred to the Council's solicitor. He believed that the whole of the residents would have a claim for compensation. Cr. Lennox seconded the amendment. Hβ thought the Council should face the changeof levels. That night the Council had one letter which stated that the writer claimed compensation whate/or arrange ment Avas made.

Crs. Tronwith and Davles supported the amendment, the latter remarking that it was the fault of tho property owners that the work was not done long ago. The Mayor pointed out that if clauso 2 was struck out, they would have to face the position of having to pay about £1,500 or £1,800 without the permanent levels being fixed. Cr. Atkin thought it advisable that clause 2 should bo referred back to the Committee. A little more care would enable thorn to put it in. a more acceptable form, and that it might be carried out without legal diffi culty. The Mayor stated that the report was in its present shape because it was literally corroot.

Cr. Crowther objected to clause 2 being struck out, and he thought it a mistake that the Council should add to or take from the recommendations made by such a large meeting as that recently held. He hoped to see the report adopted as it stood. Cr. Holland thought it was useless to ask property-owners what they would contri bute before plans and specifications were prepared showing what work it was pro- Dosed to do.

Cr. Atkin supported the amendment, and gave as one reason for doing so that no drainage had been provided for, especially at the lower end of the street. He spoke at considerable length on the necessity for a good road existing between the town and lvaranga hape, and urged that it certainly must come to that. Hβ asked if the property owners in Queen-street were on one side of the question, and were now found on the other side, what faith could be had in the solidity of the people? It was strange that so much pressure should be brought to bear by persons not interested. Cr. Lennox said he had seconded the amendment under a misapprehension, and Cr. Trenwith added that he would second the amendment.

The amendment was submitted, and lost by seven votes to nine. Cr. Cooper proposed, as an amendment, "That the. following words be added fco clause 2 :—' Provided that the written con sent of all property-owners Avho be come entitled to compensation be first ob tained to the proposed level.' " Cr. Buchanan seconded, and the amend ment was carried by nine to seven. The report was then adopted as a whole.
