Is too quick tempered aud imper;ous To

aad makes angry retorts, sometimes
ending by an abrupt Withdrawal from
the platform. Yesterday at the pot

order To allow the workmen 10 listen To

signal for loud cneers for Gladstone,
the leader Of the opposite party. Mrs.
stanley kept by MS side, pull

throughout as if he were .
school boy. The workmen bothered
him with all sorts of questions asking
him why he posed some time ago as an
American, yet WAS now q raold Brit
Usher. and finally pumping the inquiry,
what was he anywsy-American, Eng
lish, Welsh or African? The last query
evidently riled Stanley q good deal, but
his wife came to the rescue with q very
sensible reply, TO the effect that ne had
proved his English citizenship and his
interest in the country by voting two
years ago IN London. Mrs. Stanley lost
her head later, however. aad repeated
remsrk that was much ridiculed
when she tlrst made 1T from the pIa +

England. In the evening another
meeting was held in . hah, where
there WAS almost riot, no kind of
order being preserved. A reference
by Stanley ~ Africa elected shouts of,
"Where's Emil. Pa~ha?" "On, Stanley.
on. on" etc. stanley agsin lost his
temper and roared out, "You remind
me OF savages l met in Africa" This
only made matters worse and Stanley
