The late American banker Junius Spon-

STANLEY MUZZLED.
There are two sides To everything. even

England. His very briet utterance ley the

more truly, muzIlcd. This. OF course,

questions. and / propose To draw upon
well authenticated facts and documents
for the answer Even in his forthcoming
hook STANLEY Will not be free to tell all
he would like TO. Everybody knows
that there is a vigorous but yelled con-
fict going on between Germany and Eng

GRAB GAME.
Let ia hear what the Germans are saving
about Stanley and the British East Africa
Company. Herr Paul Reichard, who has
done q little African exploring on his own
account. gave q lecture IN Berlin recently
on Emin Pasha and Stanlev's Conduct at
Wadelai.' He began by saying that stan

the German jealousy Of Stanley. Rel

tribes Having failed 10 get posses

that the territory might be open for

Winton, the moving spirit of the company

gold Of the British Last Africa Company
in the other.
