Staniey's Wanderiugs.

NEW YORK, March A private letter
from Bengalo, on the Congo, gives, under
date of Nov. 5, 1888, some information
about Henry NJ Stanley which has mol
yet appeared in any of the published ac-
counts of his movements.
Stanley" it says, "arrived at Urenia
on Aug. II, with the carriers furnished
by Emn Pasha The next day the four
white men who had accompanied him al
so reached that point. Stanley wrote a
letter to Tippoo Tib, telling him, ia effect,
tina. be came from Albert Nyanza, where
be Joined Emin Pasha He iound every
thing 10 good condition there-Emin
Pasha and Casati 10 good health, and all
their people well. They were we'll pro-
vided with supplies, including wines, etc.,
and more than a thousand head of fat
cattle, as we'll as sheep, goats and chick
ems in abundance. His return voyage
had been effected in eighty 1.-TWO days His
company was in good health, and his
losses were limited to three negroes He
did not say how long the journey to the
lake had taken.
"He entreated Tippoo Tib 10 accom-
pany him to Emin, saying that be would
wait for him at Urenia for ten days, and
would start on the eleventh day with the
goods he lett there, aud M. Blnny, the
last Of the FIVE Europeans, left with him
iBartletot having been killed at Urenia,
Jamison having died at Rongalo on Aug.
20, and Ward aud Root having returned
to Europe). To decide Tippoo lib to &C.
company him, be dwelt npon the great
quantity of ivory he could bring back
all that was in Emin Pasha's possession.
| do not really think Emin Pasha would
have given Tippoo his ivory. for Tippso
bad nothing with which to pay for it. 1t
was probably au artifice on Stanley's
part, who had one of two objects in view
tor which he had need of Tippoo's aid,
and he thus tried to persuade him. TIP
poo Tib must have understood this, for he
did not accompany Stanley. but like
something out of SANKEY'S journey, he
caused the explorer to be followed at
distance by one of bis devoted lieutenants,
Said-Ben- Mohoed, who will recon- oiter
the route and make raids for slaves ia the
new country.
''Staniey has broken the contract made
by Bar letot for the 400 carriers furnished
by the Arabs, and has taken only 100 with
him For the rest the men of Erin
Pasha must suffice. On Sept Stanl-v
started on his journey to rejoin Emin
Pasha. What will he do afterwards He
has not told his plans, except that he will
not return by way of the Congo Major
Bar:letot would have come back along
the Monton-Z'ge. Will Stanley take
that route?
"On Sept. IA Stanley's courier, bound
for Europe, arrived at Tall, commended
to the protection of the resident of the
Cou.o state, but without any kind of a
message. Now this courier (who bears
only one letter, addressed to NJ. BROWN
has been detained at Tall by an unfor-
tunate illness. The resident, VINO is ex-
pecting steamer from day to day, has
uot deemed it proper to allow this cores
poncence to be brought here by the boat
which brought us VI Balit, Jr., secretary
of Tippoo lib, and just now the Stanley
is here aud is going down to Kintamu. So
SANKEY'S correspondence can not reach
US until the arrival of the next steamer
