 abouts.
 ZANZIBAR, Dec 22-One of the special messengers sent into the interior in October in the hope of obtaining news of Emin and Stanley from caravans has sent 8 dispatch announcing that he met Arab traders from Wadelai who positively affirmed that Stan ley met Emin there about January 20. Stan of stores. He had endured great privations, but he and his party were well although ex- tremely exhausted. The delay in reaching Wadelai was due to the difficulties encoun- tered on the route, the expedition having to make long detour toward the northeast in order to avoid swamps and hostile tribes.
 Emin Pasha was then in fairly good posi tion, although some of the Egyptian officers were grun.bling and many of his soldiers had deserted. The kings of Unganda and Un- yoro were hostile to Enip, who was obliged in November to repsl predatory incursions from the east. His general health was good but he had been suffering from an affection of the eyes for two months.
 A fortnight after Stanley's arrival Emin re- ceived, via Lado,a message from the Aahdi's successor pompously intimating his intention 10 subdue the whole country as far as the great lakes and promising good treatment if Emin submitted. Emin replied that before evaeuating he must wait for the Mahdi to prove the legitimacy of his claim to the pro- vince. Stanley in the meantime applied him self to restoring order among the troops and distributing stores and munitions. Stanley urged Enin to leave Wadelai, but the latter refused to do so as the entire route to the east coast was dangerous on account of the incesssnt agitation of the tribes.

 EXECUTIONS BY ELEO ERICITY. District Attorney Fellows Says That
 the Non-Pa blicatIOn Law Won't
 stand.
 NEW YORK, Dec 23.-District Attorney Fellows said yesterday that the clause of the law for the execution of death sentence by electricity which forbids newspapers from printing the description of an execution is clearly unconstitutional. Among those whom the sheriff has right under the law to invite to witness the execution" he said, "there is no reason why newspaper reporters may not bc invited. In fact, they probably will be present. If they were not invited what is there to prevent myself or anyone else present to recite the facts in conversa- tion after the execution is overt To forbid that should recite the facts would be to for bid free speech. And furthermore, what does & reporter Go but to reoite the facts to half million readers instead of to a group of friends. Of course, if an indictment should be found against an editor or reporter for printing anG reporting the execution, should be compelled to prosecute; but in my opinion the judge would hold the law to be unconstitutional, or at any rate the trial would not result in a conviction"
