Bnt ~ stanley had 4 com mission from the
| Khsdiye TO lead mo away from there, he has
certainly not been loyal to the Khediye: for a
few DAYS later he came with nm offer from tho
King of tho Belg an q that should hoist the nag
o, tho Congo Stnte in tho Equatorial province.
He said that King leopold rendered me u con-
| tributlon OF 1000 per month for the expenses
OF the Government. After a short time he al

traction. Besides. he said. It was well known
, IN Tmjn how King Ieopold had formerly
treated him tStanleyl Therefore Stanley
could not counsel him 10 close with this
orer. but he would make him . third
proposal. British East African com.
| prny was about to push forward toward
The upper Nile from MombaA Stanley a..
cordincly proposed that Enln should enter the
service OF this mpnny. Emin was to march
with all his troops round Lake Victoria under
the command OF Stnn'ey to kawirondo. There
they would ind out a suitable island on Lake
! Victoria on which Emin Pasha could fortity
himsolL Then 81 anlev would hasten back TO
| Mombns to bring up 70 Inducements for him.
| Every otylcer o; Emn Pasha and oil his men
would on entering tho service OF the British
East African Company receive tho Same salary
thcy had had from the Egyptian Government.

| conrnny in London resrectinG his own salary
| II will be remcm oered that in his book. In
| parses, Africa" STANLEY asserts that he nade
this last proposa al. not in tho nama OF the Brit
ish East African Company. but only rs a sng-
| restion smana,ing from himHrli. On the other
| hnnd Jp,iu raehn repeatedly and positively
| affirmed to DR.. Peters, who entirely credits
the Insertion, that Stanley. TO rrovids for the
| casc TINT Erin nigh. to inclined to accept tho
Offer. had brought with him from London an
agreement signed by the founders OF the Brit
i.h East African ComranY. Mt tho foot OF which
| n-reenent Emin hau only TO sicn his name 10
conclude tho transaction. 1t H. Obvious that
nttcr Emin Ind entered the German service
tho British Enst African Company would have
rensons for dsconnactinG itsclf from, tho fact
that Il proposal hal bcon made to him.
However" continued Enin. "evon this
Inst propo al, tho cceptaucc OF which Stanley
| . rood nnon me- half by threats he did not
carry out. When wo had arrived in the south OF
| Lake Wet oria. no suddenly found that he did
no. care to lead me around tho lake and to
take mo 10 X II wirondo. whonce. rs had teen
expressly agreed. I was to rccon1uor my terri
tory OF Unioro and Uganda with tho rein
forccmcnts Stanley was TO bring up: on tho
contrary he suddenly declared that must go
with him 10 tho coast to complete tho Affair."
| He said that without The eXpress command o!
! tho Queen OF England he could not mix him
| self up with the troubles in Uganda. In thls
| manner have boon compelled 10 march with
| him 10 tho coast. whereas originally the 1ues-
| ton was only that OF a transfer OF my capital
| from Lake Albert to Lake Victoria
Elnin said further that to interfere IN CGan-
do Stanley did not venture. ~. indeed. through

incomptehensible. not to shy confused. He
finds it incomprehensible. for instance why
Stanley. to get to Emn. did not. in 1887. take
the moro convenient route from tho eastern
coast. Whit he SAYS in favor OF the western
route does not in any way apply. DIR.
Peters has. indeed. been told that in this
particular a wish had been expressed by the
| Congo State. in whose service Stanley still
wa. in the year 1887. That would rem
