port. He believes that the squatters in the

Rhinelander the coming week, and has
orders from the governmental spare neither
time nor money to prevent fraudulent en-

that when Stanley was i'll during the march

the shadow of the American flag" This
made all the Britishers look glum, but
SANKEY'S face wore u quizzical expression.
as If he rather enjoyed the situation. This
remark of Parke's. taken in connection
with the obstinate silence of Stanley in
the face Of obvious attempts by the English
to induce him to make q declaration
under which flag" and also in view of his
recent severe criticisms upon England's At
rican policy, gives good ground for the
growing belief that Stanley has determined
to transfer his allegiance and services
to other thar British interests. His
yelled praise of Germany's aggressiyeness in
opening up new fields for her commerce
may, peshaps, be taken as an indication
that he would not object to entering the
service Of the Emperor William, tor whom
he is known to possess great admiration.
