sensation in Europe, and not even the hor-

with the general satisfaction. It is believed
on all sides that Stanley has achieved a
triumph almost as great as the discovery of
Livingstone.
COMMENTS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:-"It can hardly
be doubted that Stanley has achieved
splendid feat of geographical exploration.
He has crossed Africa from east to west,
and, more fortunate than Commander Cam
eron, he has been able to hold to the line of
the Lualaba This discovery has modified
all our conceptions of African geography,
and will have important commercial, and,
it may be, political results"
GEOGRAPHICAL MYSTERY SOLVED.
This evenings Globe says:-' STANLEY not
only displays daring energy, but solves an
important geographical mystery, Other
travellers speculated upon the probable
identity of the Lualaba with the Congo, but
Stanley has put the matter beyond the
region of speculation by following the river
through its course down toward the Allan
tic"
A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT.
The Daily Telegraph rejoces over the re-
markable achievement of the joint commits
sion of the HERALD and Telegraph and says
'Stanley emerges as conqueror and will
come back to England deserving welcome
which British hearts are sure to give to one
of the most successful pioneers of geograph-
ical science. To his deeds of discovery
on the Niyanza and Tanganika Henry M.
Stanley has added fresh and incompatible
triumph which must forever link his name
with the history of the Continent that his
irresistible zeal has done so much to open
to civilization"

The Manchester Guardian says that STAN
ley's work will prove great boon for COM
merce and civilization.
