 LONDON, Sept. 17.-Although Maj Bart telots murder has naturally intensified specu' lation as to Stanley's safety, the prevailing opinion is hopeful. The public generally re gard the absence of news from the great ex, plorer as favorable omen. The fact oi Barttelots death was made known in Europe without much delay, and it is difficult to seq how Stanley's fate, if it be similar one could be concealed much longer. It is easy to account for absence of information as to his movements, for he may have personal object to serve in withholding news of this character, and details of his journey would not naturally be transmitted through native channels spontaneously. News of his death or murder, however, would for the reverse ot these reasons, travel fast and far as bad new. proverbially does, and we should ere this, in all probability, have received it via Zanibat if not via St. Paul de Loanda

 Every added day of silence, of course in creases the mystery surrounding Stanley's expedition, and if he has planned through secrecy to create a final sensation he will have succeeded to admiration
 The people of Madrid are just recovering from a bad scare. Three nights ago the governor, expecting a military revolt in favor of a republic, kept the imperial troops under arms all night, and extreme vigilance was exercised at the barracks There was nc trouble, however, and if there was any plot brewing it has proved flzzle. There has been more or less uneasiness in military circles, however, for some time past, and it is undeniable that disaffection exists among the soldiery.
 To what extent the revolutionary spirit prevails cannot be determined, at least by the outside public, and it is only from the anxious attitude of the government that it is inferred that the army is seriously honey combed with disloyalty to the present form of administration. Disbelievers in the sta bility of any kind of government in Spain are cynically pointing out that revolution is about due, if the country is to keep up its record i'll throne changing.
 Senator Sherman's remarks on the Cana ,1I here. The conservative journals especially discuss the question in the light of MoretoD Frewen's critique in The Times, declaring that unless Canada is more closely tied to England she will naturally find her self in terest ill coalescing with the United States.
