STANLEY lECoSslDEHATE,
Stanley was very inconsiderate In
taking up tho Barttelot book as he did.
He ought to have reflected that many oil
the interests besides his own are con.

Emin Pasha relief expedition and it's

"Dr. Peters and the Germans were

"The position Of the Barttelot family
in the matter excites great sympathy,
