OF bribery and corruption and put end to the

Lord De Grey opposed the clause because 10 would be
an opening for tke Manufacture of faggot votes and

Sir Samuel Baker writer TO The Times urging ION the
strength Of his knowledge OF Africa) that h an exped-
ton Is undertaken IL must be joint expedition by En-
gland and Egypt and that the forces must be on the
frontier early in NOyemberat the commencement oi the
healthy and dry season
correspondent OF The Pal Nal Gazette who appears
TO have given great attention TO the subject says:
a last and well organized diplomatic effort should be
tual hosties are resorted to- This effort should De
backed by the demonstration OF the premnarles neces
the landing ana ADVANCE OI
the but tie force should not be sent until fixed
time has elapsed sufficient 20 allow OF final reply being
received from King Tbeodoms. My strong conviction
Is that such an attempt, discreetly managed,
would lead the immediate surrender OF the captves
without being called upon To fine single shot As TO
the probable results OF expeditions my opinion is this
we snail never catch TheOdorus whatever else may
effect As regards the captves II II is true, has been
reiterated over and over again, that Ihe0dorus Is driven
10 the last extremity, aud despars Of recovering his
former ascendancy, II is very likely that In Mt OF rage
and In order revenge himself on the invaders he VIII
mnoae the captiyes and then take refuge In his native
province of Kwara among the Galas TO the south
west where shall not follow him. IT, on the contrary
his cause desperate has been represented and
he s cnertains hope OF retstabsing his supremacy
IN the country heis not likely to throw that hope away
witch he certainly wOuld-by sacrificing the captiVes
In he would probably walt TO see whether We
were really earnest and might not hberate the cap
tves until the invading force had actually entered the
country the whole the adoption OF the course above
to afford the best chance of redeem
ing the Captyos alive Of saving the eusion OF blood and
the of expedition. At all events, II should have
u fair trial before actual bostites are employed"
