Stanley, was sent out to his ielief. For two 3 ears no news bad been received* el the expedition, except in' the form of certain rumours received front time to time, many of them being unworthy of consideration. In the November of last year Major Barttelot beard of certain deserters from Mr. Stanley's caravan, and it was stated by them that three hunarcd miles of the journey had been accomplished. They next heard of a "white paella," and it was possible that the information in this connection was reliable. The next rumour came through missionaries in Uguuda. The people of Uganda were at war with the people of the neighbouring district of Unyoro, and certain of the latter who had been taken prisoners staled that up to the time of their arrest nothing had been heard of Stanley. Considerable time had, however, elapsed, and the rumour need not have caused uneasiness. Later, certain trade's had reported about an expedition going noithwards, one of the white men of which it was compos, d having died; but inasmuch as on subsequent inquiry those traders could not be traced the intelligence was discredited. As a matter of tact, he thought the troubles in connection with the German taritory might have accounted tor the speedy disappearance of those traders; and he thought the rumour might be founded. on fact. That very morning seine letters from Mr. Jameson, dated last April, and comiug from Pisonga, had been received. Mr. Jameson wrote that "all is well," but he expressed the opinion, which fell in with his (Sir Francis's) owu, that Tippoo before he sent any carriers, was tarrying to obtain news as to whether or no Stanley had arrived at his destination. Of course he could not get the carriers to go with Major Barttelot unless they heaid that Stanley had, arrived at his destination ; acid Mr. Jafilef-ou in his letters menthined the fact that, according to rumour, Stanley had arrived. Hence 'rippoo Tih had no difficulty in getting carriers to follow Major Barttelot. Sir Francis proceeded to say that he did not himself see any real cau_e of anxiety in the absence of definite news. No news was good news; and of this they might be certain—that it any disaster had hapi,ened to the caravan between Yambuya and the Albert, Nyanza they wool(' have heffid of it long ago. On the motion of the Maiquis of Lorne, seconded by the Rev. Carr Glyn (vicar of Kensington),a hearty vote of toauks was accorded to the lecturer.
