Stanley Says he is Neither an Englisi,-

CAIRO, February 6tk.- The Egvptiap
Government, desiring 10 ascertain whether
Stanley was Gn American or an English
man, ordered Blum Pasha te ask him the
question. Stanley replied, after a moments
hesitation:
Neither, l am a cosmopolitan, the
world is my country
Whether or not Stanley is an American
citizen is matter of doubt. He served in
the Confederate army, and then, it is said,
joined The Northern forces. In one OF his
talks with Thomas Stevens, recently pub
lished. he declared that he considered him.
self an American. In the early days of
MS newspaper career he was known as an
American, but after his discovery of Liv-
ingston, when the first light was thrown
upon mis- early history, it became known
that he was born in Wales.
In esrly life he was known under the
name of Rowlands. His mother, to whom
he was devoted and whom he always Wis
tied when in England, died few years
| ago. He took the name of Stanley from
his benefactor in New Orleans.
LONDON, February 6th.-The World cor
respondent who met Stanley in Africa has
Just returned. He says the people here are
eagerly awaiting SANKEY'S arrival, and to
hear him tell his story at various banquets
and receptions that are in preparation.
People generally in England are less i'm
partial in their judgment IN the Stanley

he hated lecturing, and I predict he will
lecture only on few rare occasions where
he can hardly avoid the Obligation
There has been great rivalry here as to
who should entertain him first. 1t seems
to be decided that the Royal Geographical
Society comes first and the Lord Mayors
banquet second. 1t is not known where

The Examination of Naughton Continued

SAN Francisco, February 6 h.-The pre-
liminary examination of John F. Naugh-
ton, who shot and killed Marcus NJ. Herr
last Monday night, was postponed IN Judge
LAWYERS Court this morning until next
Wednesday.
1t is believed that the expert viii have

| the Guaranty Endowment Association by
that time, and detective Hogan, who is
working on the case, will make report.
When the Coroner's Jury was viewing
the body of Herr yesterday afternoon, it
was discovered that one of the bullets
struck the fnger of the right hand. None
of the other fingers on the hand were in
jured by the bullet, and this is offered as
proof by the dead mans friends that be
did not have the seal in his hand when he
was shot, as is claimed by Naughton.
They claim that his hand would have
been clenched if he was holding anything,
and the third finger would have been cut
by the bullet, as the wound or the little
| finger is on the inner side.
