LONDON, September 6.-[ Copyright -
Stanley will be accompanied on his lectur-
ing tour in America by Mrs. Stanley and
her young brother, Coombe Tenant whose
engagement is again announced to Miss
Furniss, of New York, who has been for
many years a friend of his mother and
whose marriage with the same young man
was discussed two or three years ago. Ham,
ilton Aide, the Anglo-Greek author,
Rinsman and warm admirer of Mrs.
Stanley, will also accompany the party,
probably as bistoriographer of the tour.
The enterprise is regarded with unusual
interest in England, not only by the imme-
diate friends, social, artistic and political,
of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley, but also in circles
that touch upon the sacred precints of the
throne. A company, of which the Duke of
Fife is chairman, and which counts among
its directors several personal friends of the
Queen, contributed largely to the fitting out
and support of the expedition for the relief
of Emin Pssha, and it is believed that
good portion of the large and profitable At
rican investment of the King of the Belgians
will be disposed of in America by Stanley.
ROYAL SPECULAToR.
The King put about 600 900 into the
African venture and sold out for $500, 600.
1t is understood that he now offers to make
over his interest in the Congo Free State to
English capitalists, provided that as a re-
turn he is assured of the interest on a e1,-
O00, 600 sterling for life BY the English
Government so that Stanley's lecture tour
in America is considered in some circles to
be largely for the purpose of enhancing the
value of the English property in Africa.
English interest in the Stanley expedition
is also augmented by the menacing attitude
of Major Wissmann, DR.. Peters, Emin Pasha
and the German african companies gener-
ally. Wissmann's s recent visit to Brussels is
understood in Berlin to have been for the
purpose of demonstrating with King Leo
pold bv reason of the influence that his
strong prediction for Stanley has had
upon English interests in Africa, as opposed
to the German, that Leopold's probable
negotiations with English capitalists would
serve to make the Belgian flag only device
to prevent German and French intrigue in
the Congo Free State.
THE GERMANS ALARMED.
The alarm in Berlin is not surprising,
and there is difficulty even now to prevent
an open attack upon Stanley bv the friends
of Emin, particularly by DR.. Peters, not
only with regard to Emin himself but with
the fate of Bartelott, whose very interesting
diary is supposed to be in Stanley's posses
sion. The question of the stock of ivory in
equatorial Africa, which so nearly pre-
vented Etnin Pasha's return with Stanley
to Zanzibar viii, it is said in Berlin, be
settled by the return of the Pasha to his
former position or by an arrangement be-
tween the German and Egyptian Govern
ments
Stanley is not the man to remain quiet
under German fire and in an interview on
Thursday he expressed himself very plainly
OF Emin be SAYS: "To a man Of such ex-
quisite and morbid sensibilities and most
lnordinate selfesteem nothing can be right
except slaYish adulatioD. He is continually
in the sulks, and it is useless to NEEDLE
with him. The negotiations with him be-
gan at Ugogo in October, and Emin's ad-
miration for the English and gratitude of
them were first checked by
wIssMANN's LETTER
to him which he received when nine days
from the coast and which said: Though the
English have relieved you, hope YOU will
not forget that we are your countrymen and
would do as much for you, and 1 hope you
will make your quarters with us at Baga-
moyo. Emln Pasha began to weigh then
what he could get from either party. Wiss-
mann thought be could get him for the Ger
mans. The fall after the banquet put him in
Wissmann's power. 1t was then only neces-
sary to keep pegging away, whispering
things about me, about the English and
about the Consul General, distorting and
magnifying everything to weak, unstable
and sick man, who recognized only Wiss-
mann's magnanimity.
The Germans think they have been very
clever in all this, but one OF the officers of
the expedition, as soon as Emin had read
Wissmann's letter to him, said: "rIl bet
Wissmann will get him, and it will be best
for the English if he joins the Germans, for
he is bound to spoil everything be touches.
1t was bold prediction, but it has proved
true"
