To THE EDITOR OF THE TlMEs:-
SIR-The interesting letter OF Sir Samuel Baker
to Sir II. Rawlinson in your paper OF to-day re-
quires more than ordinary attention. !,
The tenth paragraph IN 1t mentions that the
King Of Uganda was aware OF Livingstone having
been at Uji, and also states that he had left long
ago for the lett side OF LAKE Tanganyika. It fur
ther adds that three white men had been to Ujjf
and returned. Would not these be Mr.. Stanley's

made of the meeting OF the two and OF their Jour-
ney together In Tanganylkag am your 0bedtent
