STANLEY IN POLITICS.
It was HIS WIFE who Induced Hin to Stand
for Parliament.

LONDON. June 22.-It is Mrs Henry NJ. Stan
ley. formerly Miss Dorothy Tenant. who is
responsible for putting forward the explorer
as candidate for Par lament. Stanley him
self has no ambition in that drec-
ton. and long resisted the persua-
sious of his wife and her friends to present
himself for seat in the House. Mrs Stanley
at length secured the intsrcession Of the hus-
hand of tho baroness Burdett- Coutts. As
Lady Burdett .Coutts had a good deal to do
with bringing about SANKEY'S marriage to Miss
Tenant. Stanley could not resist this new
mediation. and consented reluctantly to enter
the political field.
He agreed to stand for North Lambeth with
out really knowing anything about the COM
plexion OF thu London seats. He is leading
almost a forlorn hope. for it ia remembered
that Gen. Frazer. who now represents the
borough as q Conservative. hardly expect ed to
win. although q popular man. and made n per
sunal canvass Of the voters. This stanley
would hardly be willing to do. but his wife and
his mother-in-lRw propose to canvass in lis
behalf Mrs. Stanley Is as charming AS when
sho was Dorothy Tenant, and Mr.. Stanley
has had some hesitation about letting her cam
vass among thu rough class OF voters who
form the majority in North Lambeth. He hns
expressed no opposition to his mothcr-in- law
trying her hand. and aIpar .ntly believes that
sh" can hold her own in debate. The cam
paign will orcn in earnest TO. night.

Sir Samuel Baker Says the Soudan Can BE
Easily Neconquerrd.


LONDON. June 22.-Sir Samuel Baker. the
discoverer Of Albert Nynnza and the we'll
known African traveller is visiting Egypt and
has been writing a series Of letters upon the
condition Of the country. In n letter from
Assouan. far up the Nllc Sir Samuel expresses
his opinion that there would be no difficulty
now in establishing an Egyptian force at Abu
Iammed. on the Nile. about 100 miles below
Bcrber. which is the key to the position Of the
Mahdists. He regards it as also entirely prac-
ticable to send a force into Donyoa. the fertile
region bordering the Nile south OF Wady-
Hafa. which is now in possession Of the
Nahdists. He says that this rich and desira-
BILE country can easily be reconGuered on a..
count OF the DISCRIMINATION which prevails in
the Soudan.
A CORES rondent from Ceylon who has just
had an interview with AraUi rasha. says that
once famous Egyptian officer is OF the opin-
ion that the presence Of the English in Egypt
is all that prevents the reouening OF the
Soudan t. commerce and civilization THE
Soudan and Egypt" he says. have the same
rell eion. the same Language. and the same
aspirations. but the Soudanese are hostile to
the Egyptians because the latter have accepted
the military protection Of Great Britain" He
adds that II the English were to go homo the
fusion Of tho Egyptians and the Soudanese
would soon be an accomplished fact
