 One of the largest and most enthusiastic houses of the season filled the Hyperion last evening, called forth by the presence of Henry M. Stanley, the far-famed Afri- can explorer. Though the price of seats | had been more than unusually high this | did not seem to deter many people from gratifying their curiosity to see the hero who had endured and accomplished so much in the way of letting in light upon the Dark Continent. The chairs upon the stage were pretty well taken. The boxes were occupied chiefly by ladies, large representation from Mrs. Cady's West End Institute having the one at the left. It was regretted that Mrs. Stanley was not present, as interest had centered pretty nearly as much in her as Mir. Stan s, isy; 500. ln' SA'' o' ''A'' ''n0'n''u '0 n'A'
 MT. Stanley, accompanied by his wife, immediately upon their arrival in this city put up at the New Haven house. From there Mr. Stanley went, escorted by Major Pond to the Hyperion, where they ap- peared few minutes past eight.
 About 125 people occupied the $5 seats on the stage, among whom were Professor Townshend, ex-Alder1nan Shoninger, Dr. George F. Peterson, Thomas R. Trowbridge, Police Commissioner Frank H. Hart, Rob- ert A. Beers, the State street merchant; | Samuel Chamberlain, Lieutenant G. w. Adams of West Haven, MT. Andrews and Mir. Newman of Yale Law school, Dickie Yale, '91, and about twenty other Yalen- sians.
 MT. Stanley's appearance called forth applause from all parts of the house. President Dwight introduced MT. Stanley | in these words:
 | Ladies and Gentlemen: We are privileged to us us great service at cost of much suffering and sacrifice. His fame, which was widely extended WaT has | it's mysteries through his efforts. He has come l tend to him our welcome and give him thanks for l the knowledge thus obtained. have the pleasure of introducing to you MT. Henry M. Stanley. 1 MT. Stanley spoke substantially as fol lows.
 ''The other evening lectured in New York about equatorial Africa, about pyg
 mics, the Mountains of the Moon and so l on. Tonight shall speak of the rescue ! of Emin Pasha through darkest Africa.
 The English press formerly had described
 Emin Pasha as a second Gordon, especially
 fitted for administration, for his govern
 ment furnished Egypt annually with ESQ.,
 900, and he had been appointed by Gordon
 and so must be adapted to the situation.
 Emin Pasha's letters were truly beautiful,
 so full of trust in the almighty and of pa
 triotism that they were calculated to i'm tprcss one that Emin was 8 man
 of the greatest depth of character
 They abounded in phrases like 'eWe shall stick to our post till succor arrives or we
 perish;" and could imagine him as-stern
 and infiexible. Copies of his letters were
 furnished me and soon I became great
 admirer of his, too. They were close imi-
 tations of Gordon and showed spirit like
 that of Cromwell. Six years ago was lec-
 turing in this country and had made ar

 eleventh in the course received the news
 that had had entrusted to mo the com.
 mand of the Emin Pasha relief expedition

 by January go the expedition was organ ized. We had nine white officers and FOG
 black auxiliaries. By this time had me-
 a certain German doctor who said Emir
 would scarcely care to return to civ ilization, loving his wild life, ani . learned later that Emin had sent letters saying that if thought he would leave af
 ter having sown seeds for future pros
 perity I was much mistaken. However the letters I had seen were to the effec B that if did not come, they would perish
 and of like tenor. Our fear of being tot
 late, as in the case of Gordon, caused us t
 leave our baggage and reserve, and pres 8 on. We were one months march froI : our station, and had only made ono hun
 dred and seventy-6ve miles, having spen
 270hours in our toilsome endeavor to fore
 our way through the forest.
 We had carved our way so far and ye t from the people living about our line o march we could get no news of gras lands. We would pluck Q blade of gras and show it to them, trying to make then
 understand by means of signs, and the I l would point to the trees overhead and tel l us they knew of no other country. Yo1 | must understand that the people of tn U expedition were untutored savages, accus d toned to bright, scorching sun, and tn

 world of terrors. As they lay in their hut
 
 g trees, with occasionally the terrific cras f of some falling monarch of the forest, . seemed to them as if some fiend of the ai
 were screeching out to them it's mournfr
 tale of woes. The heavy mist and tn r dark meanings, when they were called ou v by the shrill whistle, all conspired o alright them. So tley deserted by two ' and threes; some got back to the rt u serve station to scare our comrade
 with their horrible reports. Som h fell victims to the cannibals an n others still were lost in the hidden recesse of the forest. Our expedition suffere terribly, too, from blood troubles, as ever # scratch from pointed stick or gnat bi,
 would ulcerate clear through to the bon, s So we were forced to leave two companiel = of ffty-six and ffty-two men respectively g Out of the company of fifty-two only fv }. were rescued. The men by this tim O were overcome with despair, though br few deserted, as the perils of return wei
 more than those incidental to the exped
 tion. One hundred and seventy three pel @ sons out of 388 alone remained. The neare a to the lake we came the fercer and mol

 found we could not camp on it's banl
 while waiting to communicate wit
 Emin, with our strength of fore !. as there | was no subsistence. S we returned to the borders of the fol + est and there erected palisade and for , sowed grain and tobacco, and sent bac T two expeditions, to bring up the convs
 lescent. We here received letter frol
 Emin saying he had heard of our being
 Lake Albert, and had come down to se - us, and that we ought to have waited fe
 him. We made then a second expeditio 2 to the lake, launching our steel boat an o sending Lieutenant Jephson with boat ,, crew in search of Emin.
 Subsisting on these barren shores o which nourish only several fishing tribes T by means of our stores, we looked an: l. iously for the return of our comrade, an in a few days were gratified by his a] \ pearance with Emin and celebrated Ita ian traveller. had expected to see @ tai a military figure, showing power in look an bearing, and was surprised to find Emi ?
