SEVERE on STANLEY.
Herbert Wards Story Of the Rear Guards
Troubles.

LONDON, November 10. - Herbert
Ward writes to the Times as follows:
with every desire to be loyal to MIR.
Stanley, it is impossible for me longer to
remain silent. Mr.. Stanley has raised
all the side issues OF the Jameson-Bart-
telOt controversy. He may or may not
be a scrupulous man, but he is undoubt-
edly bold and far-sccing one. II would
appear. therefore, that in charging the
rear guard officers with irresolution and
disregard OF instructions he feared he
might one day have TO answer charge
| for which he himself was responsible,
so he collected all the tit:le-tattle OF tale
bearers and attacked his Sub0rdinates.
After stating that Stanley's column
was not above reproach, and that he
himself had buried dead men Stanley
left in the road, Mr.. Ward asks why
Stanley left inexperienced officers III
charge of the rear guard, knowing that
they could only carry out his orders and
drive the oad-bcarers with the greatest
severity. Why had he appointed Bart
telot, whom he disliked as much as Bart
telot disliked him, and whom he knew
was unsuitable for the work, to a posi-
tion of momcntous responsibility at the
supreme crisis OF the expedition? What
must be thought of Stanley turning
back on Yambuya, assuring Barttclot he
had made 4 wise choice and selecting
him to guard the interests OF the eXpe-
dition during his absence?
Mr.. Ward declares that, with all his
acknowledged fault. Maj. Barttelot,
with splendid loyalty to the best tradi-
tions of his service, held sacred every
instruction of Stanley to the last. In
the face of starvation he refused to open
the stores Stanley had warned him were
essential to the success OF the eXpedl-
ton, yet Stanley accused him tthe
Major of disloyalty. Says Mr.. ward:
There was no reason to refuse MS food
and medicine but his stOlid sense OF dis
cipline. To have taken the law in our
own hands would assuredly have led to
bloodshed. Stanley must take a
portion of the blame. by his ex-
ample on the march mp he initiated
among the members of his staff the feel
ing of Indifference to human suffering,
and among the lOadbcarers fatalistlc
acceptance of their lot as mere beasts
OF burden. BY appointing Barttelot
under the circumstances he deliberately
risked disaster, to use no stronger word,
by vague instructions. lie placed Bart
telot in a position of bewildering alter
natives. BY an alleged agreement with
Tippoo Tib he put Barttelot more or
less at the Arabs mercy and left him
abandoned. BY publishing the afli-
davits of a negro valet he dement's dead
men. He can answer for himself
whether he should not bear some of the
responsibility for the disasters which
befell the rear.

conspiracy to defraud the county. TINS
action arises from the fact that those

tage of the Prohibitory act to earn iao-
ulous salaries at the expense OF the
county. In one instance as many as rs
informations were filed against the same

Hard on O'Shea.

BosroN, November l9.-Mr. William
O'Brien, the Irish envoy, in an interview
Yesterday said he regarded the attacks
of the Tory newspapers OF LONDON
against Parnell as beneath notice. For
the past ten years the same papers had
attempted to assassinate Mr.. ParnelTS
character, not in the least from any mo-
tive of public morality, but on account
of his unrivalled leadership. All Mr..
O'Brien knew of the 0'Shea matter was
that "O'Shea is loathsome creature
who is capable of anything"
"The Irish party and the Irish people,
said he, "may be trusted TO safely guard
the interest of the Irish cause without
the least regard to rumors set ailoat by
moralsts like Piggott's employers"

number Of the German Mcdicdl VccLlI

tors Bergmann, Fraentzel, and William
Levy and their staff surgeon, Koehlinc.
which they declare that after expert
mentS in many different cases they are
prepared to fully endorse Prof. koch's
statements regarding his remedy.
Some of the evening papers warn the
public against the illusions entertained
by many regarding the efficacy OF
Koch's remedy. They also complain
that the stock Of lymph is being exhaust
ed. The Tdgebldu says that koch's
procedure, so far, is open to severe crit
icism, because he has only given his
lymph to few co-aborates whom hc
could thoroughly trust to follow his in
structionS. while the great scientific
establishments and hospitals are eN-
chlded from the benefits Of the disc0v-
cry. The TdgcbldH considers that the
dissatisfaction among medical men and
the many patients who are anxious to
submit to the treatment Is quite justi-
fed. and declares that the present ar
rangements must be- altered. The de-
mand for the Koch syringes is 50 great
that the manufacturers are unable u
