The latest news from Gordon snuOun.
| ceS that he has successfully transported
a steamer to Appudo. AppudG, or Affu-
Go, as it is also spelled, is situated en-
the Nile at about two degrees thirty
| minutes north latitude. 1t was the fur
thesI point reached by Miami, whose
name Spoke saw there carved upon a
tree. What makes The news especially
important is that AppuJo is above the
last OF the cataracts that Obstruct the
navigation of the Nile between the AL
bert lake and G0ndoSoro. Gordon can
now explore the lake with his steamer,
and it is safe to presume that he has al
ready done sO-thus anticipating Stem
ley, who, when the steamer reached
Appudo, was still at the king of Ugsn-
da's capital. Tne same paragraph in
the London Times, which con-
tains these facts, also mentions
that Cameron was at Tangsnyiks for
eight months, trying to go the western
Ioute between Uganda and Zauzibar,
which was interrupted by the K8raque
tribe two degrees south. This is quite
unintelligible, though it gives US the as
surance that Cameron has abandoned
his wild scheme of following down the
is still alive and in the neighborhoad of
Tanganyika. Since Zanzibar is east, or
rather sOuthf asterly, OF Uganda, the al
fusion to westerly rOnts between the
two is extremely puzzting The Ka-
raque tribe mignt possibly mean the
people Of Ksraque, but Rumanika, the
king OF Karaque, is very friendly to
white men, and his people would hardly
interfere with Cameron. The safety of
Cameron, however, is the one intelligi-
bic pant OF the neWs, and il will De
great relief to the countless admirers If

ton that he had started on VOYAGE |
across the continent by way OF the Lu- !

the Intention of Stanley to ex- /
plore the Albert lake by circumnavigst-
ing it in bis boat. When he learns, as
he undoubtedly will, that Gordon mas
his design be will doubtless
march at once to the head OF Tangsn-
yika, and follow the Lukuga-the out
let OF the iake-to its junction with the
Iiualaba. 1t is well known that he aims
to complete the explorations begun by
in the Luaiaba valley, and
the brilliant success which he has al
ready attained will probably encourage
him 10 make the attempt, now evident
ly abandoned by Cameron, to descend
the Luslaba TO the seq. 1t is, however,
to be hoped that he will not
undertake an enterprise so certain to
end in irIetrieysble disaster. The cir

Stanley that it hiss no connee-
ion with the Lualaba, g. he is noW de-
3idediy of the opinion that it has, and he
will therefore know, without further ex-
that the Luslaba is the Congo.
It Will be much wiser for him 20 leave
he Lualaba at its most northerly point,
