Henry NJ. Stanley yesterday morning landed In
New-York. whence he set sail for Europe on De-
cember l5, 1885. At that time he closed
lecturing tour in America; and now. with his ex-
petition for the relief Of Emin Pacha for subject
he will relate his experiences In Darkest Africa
from the platform. Mr.. Stanley has with him his
charming wife, her mother, Mrs Tenant. Hamil-
ton Aide, the English play-writer, Lieutenant D.
Mounteney Jepbson, Of his most trusted
officers in Africa. and train of maid servants
and man servants. the most conspicuous OF whom
is Mr.. Stanley's personal attendant an exceed
ingly dark and exceedingly dapper African, who
wears q bright scarlet Turkish fez. and talks
French with strong English accent.
Major j. B. Pond, Mr.. Stanleys manager in the
United States Colonel Finley Anderson, and others
OF Mr.. Stanleys old friends, boarded the steam
ship Teutonc at Quarantine. where she had lain
from midnight till dawn, and welcomed Mr.. STAN
lev to America revisited. Mr. Anderson made a
little speech of greeting. and Mr.. Stanley made a
a. In In fho n
of it he said:
"I am delighted to return, for the third time,
il only for visit to the land and the people to
whose influence and hospitality I am so deeply
indebted. Although have been wandering about
80 long. am citizen of the United States, you
know. and / am glad to feel that this is my
country. But must 90 and come whenever and
wherever duty calls me, and here l am again. back
from the gloom of a country that was SO much
unknown to the glory of one that is the light OF
the world"
From the White Star pier Mr.. Stanley and his
nartv drove 70 the Everett House, where rooms
were prepared for them.
There the eyplorer rested during the after
noon The unusually long and somewhat stormy
VOYAGE of the Teutonio had fatigued him, and
he wishes to be in the best of physical trim
for his opening lecture, which will be delivered
in the Metropolitan Opera House on Tuesday even
ing. pYr,
But his first actual public appearance was In
Major Ponds rooms, where, to an audience prih'
cipally composed of newspaper representatives liz
told in full detail for the first time, te s'rahSe
story of the Rear Column of the tmih eApeui-
ton and of the killing of Major Bartteiob. MrS.
Stanley was anxious that her husband Shouiu ho'

the reporters, and with smiles and blushes peggea

and offered TO be his substitute. 1 can tell you

A DRAMATIC STORY.
He sat down in an easy fashion, crossed his
lers facing the expectant company, and
interrupted only by few brief questions, talked
for an hour. His story was dramatic and dramatl
