ure for protection would enable importers
to-evade quarantine at United States ports.

of October 18th, 1890. The exception

LONDON. May ls.-The report Of the
Aboriaines Protection Society, to be read
on Wednesday, indicts Henry NJ. Staaley
in severe terms for cruelty to the natives
OF Africa. The authors Of the report also
take occasion to scof at the idea that STAN
ley's missior in his last trip was solely to
relieve Emin PAsha. There was, they say
an ulterior selfish and sordid motive for
the expedition.
The report oharActeriEss Mr.. Stanle,'s
treatment OF his servants and the natives
generally as Abounding in inexcusabie
errors. The sgners Of the report believe
Stanley is responsible for the maltreatment
referred to, but they decline to institute
legal proceedings against him, recognizing
the improoSbility Of success in such action.
The report also protests against the curren,
iil-sdvised attempts at the premature civil
ixsuon OF Africa rs = constant source Of
