ing and counter marching, conquering and
suffering defeat. At one time he is getting
along prOsperously, at another he is repre-
scented as stripped Of his men by disease
and desertion, and on the borders of defeat.
In all this time only brief dispatches have
been received purporting to come from the
great explorer. But one will search in
vain for any clear and circumstantial
account of his adventures since he left the
Aruwimi many months ago. Sitting out
what appears to be true from the meager
and iucoherent accounts that have come
from time to time by way of Zanzibar, it
appears that Stanley did reach Emin Bey
at point about thirty miles north of
Albert Nyanza. His letter to Tippu lib,
written year ago last August, was the
first explicit announcement of such a cir
cumstance:
It is now eighty-two days since left Emin
Pasha on the Nyanza. He has ivory in abun
dance, thousands OF cattle and sheep, goats and
fowls, and food of all kinds. l found him very
good and kind man. His liberality could not be
eXcelled. His soldiers blessed our black men for
their kindness in coming so far to show them the
way. Many Of them were ready to follow me
out of the country, but 1 asked them tc stay
quiet few months that might return and
All along STANLEY has been subjected to
series of disappointments. Having left
camp in charge of Major BARTELor, he re-
turned to find it broken up and the major
murdered by his own men, the stores being
almost entirely all gone. So far from home
and in the midst of rather trying country
and climate, an accident like this would
have been trying to most men, but it
should be remembered that HENRY M. was
q journalist and therefore Injured to hard
ships, and he didn't seem to mind it very
much; at least he kept on, gathered up
what stores were left, and then struck out
once more to reach EMIN at Wadelai, on
the Nile, this being his central point
Before arriving at it the second time, it is
understood that force under or acting by
instruction of the "false prophet
had captured it and all the
immediate country around it This
was another tough experience, requiring
the rhinocerous hide of the journalist to
pull him through. On his first meeting |
with STANLEY, EMIN held possession of all |
that territory and was not particularly ap- |
prehensive; but things were now quite
changed, so much so that at the second meet |
ing between the two-the explorer and the |
'colonist''-the latter was metaphorically |
holding on by his eyebrows" and slowly |
retreating before the Madhist forces. He |
had good following, and was reported as |
having large quantity Of ivory which he |
had taken incidental to his campaign. If |
all that we now hear should be correct, he |
is still at least months travel, may be |
much more, from the east coast, and is
doubtless following one of the two old |
routes which have been closed to |
EMIN Pasha for long years past |
The idea that will be most gener-
ally accepted is that when EMIN
found it impossible to longer hold the equa-
torial provinces he retracted, and the
Herald representative Joined him, both of |
them with their followers and such porta-
BILE articles of necessity and value as were
available, being now engaged in making |
their way to Zanzibar, or some more north
erly point on the eastern coast. A special |
to the Herald announces that a relief corps
of fifty men, with abundant supplies, have
gone out to meet and escort them in. This
is gratifying news. We seem TO have lost
all traces of STEVENS, the New Yorl.
Worlds bicycle explorer, in these proceed
ings. He went in search OF STANLEY, it
will be remembered. and it must be that
he veptured too far with his implements"
and had to camp out somewhere over
night Tidings regarding him and his
neighless steed viii be anXiously awaited.
