NEW YoKx. Aug. 2i---Dr. Carl Peters.
the African explorer, talking today about
Stanley, made some severe comments on
that gsntIeman's way Of treating his fell
lon travellers. He said:
Stanley lived on good food himself and
allowed bis men 70 live as the negroes did,
French missionaries told me they visited
SANKEY'S camp at Usrmbrir and saw
Stanley sitting af the head OF the table
eating European diet and drinking ciaret.
while Emin Pasha and other members of
the party ate negro diet and drank
water Some OF the white men OF
SANKEY'S party had 70 abandon their
tents and sleep in the open air. so stan
ley's wine could be taken along. was
also told by one Of the missionaries that
when one of staniey's companions had
fever and was not able 10 go on Stanley
took q korsewbip snd Hogged him, saying:
III my white men fall down, what viii my
negroes dog /"
Peters had more to say in the same
vein He inciInes to the belief that Emin
Pasha is still living.

for itself that has found envy among
insurance circles in the east These
gentlemen are thorough insurance men.
probably have no superiors in the State.
That they are alive to the interests of
both patrons and companies can be but
too plainly shown. when We recall the
fact that it was through the efforts Of
these gentlemen that the passage of the
Valued Policy Bill. before our last
Legislature, was defeated. This mea-
sure, had it become o law, would have
driven the strong and substantial In
surance Companies from our State,
making room fora horde Of weak and
irresponsible concerns to spring into
existence whose policies. in case of loss.
