Stanley, the HERALD Commissioners in Africa,
from Zanzibar, dated October 10, which state
that he had surveyed the delta of the Rufgi

distinct channels into the interior of Africa.

RUSSIAN SOCIALISM.
LONDON, Nov. Ia.
The DAILY Telegraph repeats the reports of
a soclallstlc conspiracy in Russia, and adds that
5000 persons, including many ladies', have been
arrested. A commission has been appointed to
investigate the conspiracy, the exact object Of
which is still unknown.
Several persons of exalted rank are said to be
implicated.
A vast amount of money seems to have been
at the disposal of the couspirators. The arrests
since the discovery of the plot have been so
numerous that a perfec ct reign of terror exists
in S. Petersburg.
1t was proposed that the police should search
every hou g in the cit in a single night.

which were only mislaid. He delivered them
to his counsel, DR.. Munkel, with Instructions
to remit them Immediately to the Municipal
Court Of Berlin, which the latter did.
The possibility of DR.. Munkel having ac-
quainted himself of the contents of those docu-
ments appears to have been the reason for
