Mr.. Gladstone was interviewed respecting
the bill this afternoon. He had only road a

he added: " 1t is tremendous measure, and

When Emin Pasha fortnight ago started
for the lake country at the head OF German
expedition and with the undisGuised intention
Of forestallinR the British In the annexation
business in those remote regions, the English

Capt. Casati. Emin's pluoky italian colleague
in the Soudan. arrived at Cairo this afternoon
and had great reception. The entire Italian
colony headed by the Consul, turned out to do
him honor Casau will start next week for
Rome. where he will receive at the hands Of
King Humbert o commission to proceed to
Abyssinia to help the Italians in their African
enterprises.
Although Stanley Is unquestionably tho lion
OF England at present, 1t must be admitted
that the reception rendered him by the Emin
Pasha Relief Committee last night was not an
unqualified success. st. Jamess Hall was not
filed In spite Of the fact that 1t was known that
the Prince and Princess Of Wales, the Duke
and Duchess OF Edinburgh. and half dozen
other royalties were to be present. and 1t is
seldom that the Briton neRlects an opportu-
nifty Of viewing collectively the members Of the
reigniDg family. Stanley furnished no report
Of his speech to the newspapers. and spoke in
SO low q tone and SO indistinctly that the re-
porters could not take" him entire.
The audience glittered with diamonds.
The Princess OF Wales wore one in her
couture OF a size that would startle New York
Alderman. and tho Duchess Of Edinburgh and
the Baroness Burdett. Coutts seemed to be
encased in an armor Of precious stones. am
grieved to record that the Princess moro than
once dozed. and even nodded during the pro-
gross OF the great explorers speech. which was
after all only repetition OF what every one had
already heard OF the journey across the Dark
Continent. Evidently Stanley does not intend
to hurt the sale OF his book by divulging its
contents beforehand
However the office OF the Royal Geographi- |
cal Society. which will give him reception on
Monday, has been besieged by persons DESTROYS
OF being present at Albert Hall Stanley will
dine with Lord Salisbury on next Tuesday. and
tho Queen has expressed desire TO sec him.
