NEW York. Nov. i2.-One OF the mosi |
fashionable and distinguished audiences |
ever gathered together in this city wei |
coined Henry NJ. Stanley last evening al
the Metropolitan Opera house when hu
stepped forward amid thunderous ap. |
plause TO tell In his first lecture the story |
of his rescue Of Emin Pasha. After tho
lecture number of press representatives
waited upon Mr. Stanley to learn whether
he would make any answer to the many
charges which have lately been made. Mr..
Stanley would make no statement further
than to say the public might look fors some
startling reports from London today OF
Thursday
Mr.. Stanley was introduced TO his audit
ors by Chauncey NJ. Depew, and opened
his lecture with graphic description OF
the great and gloomy forests through which
they had marched for 100 days The curl.
Gus pigmy inhabitants of the forests wero
next described. The tall people OF the great
Jungle lived in the clearings, while the pig
mics, who were only about as high as q
Europeans waist, infested the most dense
part OF the forest The tall people ate their
enemies. lie had seen a woman who had
been speared in the throat laid on bier
ready to be cooked She was sick and had
been left by maraudiug party. During
their Journey they had captured hundreds
Of the natives who assisted them in direct
ing them TO banana groves and other places
for procuring food, but they released them
after the expedition had passed beyond th
territory Of those they had captured, al
they were thenceforth useless to them. Tho
| pigmies caught elephants in pitfalls, and
other animals and insects fit for food were
abundant. He considered these people the
| lowest OF the human race morally. Their
gratitude was as short lived as bulldogs
| one day they caught a beautiful young
queen about IS years Of age, but pigmy
She was the color Of yellow ivory She hat
a narrow girdle at the waist with iror
rings on It that looked like washers. ShI
had ivory rings on her arms and ankles
She was used by one OF the party as |
servant, aud she became very docile ans
adept He spoke Of the discovery Of tn
long lost mountains Of the Moon, whicl
rose like two trnneated cones, and th
Snow mountains, which on April ] hal
burst on their view aud hung for thre
days in view In a most pelucid atmosphere
He passed rapidly over the journey to tn
coast OF Zanzibar, but dwelt on their sui
sequent difficulties there with Emin Pasha
1t was not until they were approaching th
coast, he said. that they learned of th
rivalry between the English and German
to curry favor with the sultan Of Zanzibar
Emin was a German and was influence
I by his countrymen. They found that hi
gratitude was not very deep. He had Ell
braced the members Of their expedition
the banquet given him at the coast wit
apparent affection. His subsequent il
: civility had been famed into hostility
