The First Branch members got together
about nine O'Clock and acted upon n few

disposition TO stray away, and about half

without a quorum, while the table was
piled up with business. Nothing remained,
therefore. but an adjournment.

To The Editor Of the Register.
SIR: What is the matter with the primar-
les? Isn't the Executive Committee going
to advertise the fact that they have issued
an order to hold the primaries, or are they
thinking and expecting the city Democra-
CIV TO know all about it without giving due
and formal notice? Or perhaps somebody
don't want somebody to know anything
about the primaries, or when or where
they are to be held. If there are any men,
bcrs of the committee who don't feel like
doing their duty, let them get off and the
remainder will o find good Democrats
to fill their pla ces.

HENRY M. STANLEY.
A Graphic Description Of the Famoui
Explorer of the Dark Continent.

A Graphic Description of the Famous
Explorer of the Dark Continent.
1t is impossible to gaze upon the
bronzed features of Mr.. Henry NJ.
Stanley without vivid recollection of
.he famous picture of his first meeting
with Livingstone in the depths Of the
Dark Continent. "Dr. Livingstone,
presumed" was the historic phrase in
which the second greatest Of African
explorers greeted the greatest. One Of
the peeuliarities of photography is that
it adds stature; and had pictured the
founder Of the Free State of the Congo
As a tail. thin. why man, grizzled with
hard work-with, in short. all the out
ward attributes of an old campaigner.
But when there presently joined me in
the cosy drawing-roem in New Bond
street, a gentleman somewhat below
the average height, with a thick-set
frame indicative of great powers Of en-
durance, the well-known short mus
tache, and face deeply Drowned by
tropical suns as they shone upon forests
and plains where no other white man
iras ever set foot, there was no
need for introduction. Mr. Stanley
greeted me cordially. and settled himself
down in an arm chair as though. instead
Of having upon his shoulders the care
Of State covering million and half
square miles. he had nothing to do but
10 be interviewed. Upon the table lay
Belgian map Of the Congo. showing
the results of the explorations which
have been made since Mr. Stanleys de-
parture for Europe. and the new vol
ume Of the Almanach dc Gotha. in
which the Congo is for the first time
included among sovereign States. The
world needs not 20 be told that Mr..
Stanley is enthusiastic in his view Of
the rich capabilities and the splendid
future Of the Congo. But be has not
the manner of an enthusiast His
speech is calm, thoughtful, based
upon facts and figures. When he wishes
to enforce point. or 10 clinch an ar
gument, be leans forward in his chair
and speaks with tn. sGbdued earnest
ness and the quiet energy of convic-
ton. One Of the most salient impress
sions the interview left upon me was
that of n man possessing q bounGiess
store of reserved force; capable Of TAX
ing great decisions in a moment Of su-
preme crisis; man of boundless energy.
