turn to the interior of Africa, He still re-
tains all his followers who journed to
Bagamoyo with him, and they have given
every evidence of their determination not
to forsake him. In addition to these in
dicationS of his desire to 90 back to his
province he has preserved a reticence with
regard TO his experiences in the equatorial
regions OF Africa lneXpllcable to his friends
in the circumstances of Stanley's unre-
strained reflections upon his steadfastnesS

dence in Europe for the future.

The delegates TO the anti-slavery confer
ence at Brussels have forwarded memo
rial to Lord Salisbury intimating their
disincliuatiOn to raise IN the conference
discussion of the question of traffic in
liquor IN Africa, for the obvious reason
that the matter could not properly be
/! brought up in debate on the question of
traffic IN slaves without inducing well
founded suspicious that the main question
was merely an incidental one SO far as the
English were concerned. The congress has
decided 10 suspend its sittings for the
present, owing TO the dispute between

at work explaining the demands
| which he has upon the surplus. and
particularly hints at the Parnell commits
sion as an item which will make consider
able inroad upon his hoard. He can not
satisfy everybody, and 1t looks as though
he Will make more enemies than friends

Smith, believes Balfour infallible. The
fight will be hot one, but Sir Charles
/ Tenants popularity as well as principles
ought To stand him in good stead.
