At Pcven Oaks , near London. In a hoii'o of r
African ctirlosliies , I loiind Sir .lolin Kiric ,
Hi Illsh consul general to Xan/ibar. A Item
little talk about Kinin I'acha , who Is jieison-
all ) known to Kirk , and for whom ho has the
highest admiration , .Sir John Kavc mo an
Idea of the condition ol atfahs on the Xan/i-
bar coast.
lie said : "I'min Pacha does not want to
leave the Cential African piovlnce. He could
at any time li-'ht ) his way out to Xati7ibar , butte
to do this ho would bo compelled to leave
behlud all the l vptlan oniclals with their
families. These men would be at once
killed , and the inovince thus would
relapse Into barbirism under control of
the slave traders. Kniln Is a man of ( ! or-
ilon's stniiip , and will bo killed with his men
rathei than deaeit them. llo is a verv re-

slave traders fiom the east and south. His

that he colleot" his levenues In ivoiy , which
ho Is forced to sell to tlio
Aiab traders In older to obtain I'.uio-
.
pean cooiK In the midst of such 1
u country , with lighting on all sides of him ,
ho has taught the neinocs to weave cloth ,
make shoes and cultivate tobacco , lie has
also made n natuial history collection of

neai him Is too jioDiilons to enable
him to htht muskets and spears with speais
nlone. As It Is now , his 4,000 negro tioops
are mainly diesscd In skins. It would be lin-
possible lei n miliiniy foico to fight its way

Takinu the opinions ol the best Infoimed
expi'its as a guide , I think the following
points ma > be accepted without question :
r.niln Pacha Is now alive , but will die as
Cordon did lathei than dcsnt his men It aid
does not lomu In a few month" . It he dies
live millions of people , whom hehaspaitl )
clviliicd , will telapbC Into baibaiiatn nnd the
tranny of the slave hunteis. 'the factories
for shoes and cloth established by Kmin will
die with him. A lirltlbli expedition of some
soil will undoubted ! ) attempt Kmin I'ach.i's
icscue. The route will be fiom the X.uuib-u i
coist , sklrtln ; ; eitlier noith 01 south Uganda
land. In either vase considerable unexploied
countiy must be ti.iveled tliionck. Six
months after the expedition Is decided upon
Is the minliiiiim allowed by the best t
authoiitles for reachlnsr limin. The
expedition will , in any case , be
htrktly n mivato vcntuic , without
olllclal negotiations. Two expeditions m ty
very possibly Mart by diffeientroutes. The
Kiulisli expedition will have a cnainntce ot t
at least i'10,000 from a private committee of
rich gentlemen. J'lie 10,000 offered this
committee by the Koptian coveinment ; b
given not for the icscue ot ] ] mlii , but for
carrying dispatches and piobnbly
ammunition to him. The commmittce
Is n strong one , amply able to
carry out the pinji-ct. One fact which hub
hitherto stood groatlv In tlio way of such an :
expedition is lint no socict ) 01 prominent
Jlnulish public personage can be lonnected 1
wiih it for learof luit.iei invohiiu Knirland

In the event of the expedition beinj cut offer
or by Its action In Kmlii't , countiy. The
main object of all coneei ned Is lo leave 0s 0e
whole matter in Stanley's hands pending ills
arrival to-morrow. Kven the constitution of
the committee is unsettled.

practicing medicine in Jaliiibut li. lie is n
man of calm , earnest manners , who speaks
quickly and alwai s to the point He said :
"In JSTd Di , Kmin Hey was sent by Gor

matter loiisldoiably. The HiltUh trov-

tact , tor , on the testimony of Kncllsh nils-
i-lonarles at I' anda , the letters of recall sent

ernment then accepted the olfer ot cot lain
private Individuals to equip a ichef expedi I-
tion , with Stanley as the leader , tlio Ksrv , ji- Ii
tlnn uiant to be given to ( hat expedition.
"Mi. MacKinnon , a Glasgow merchant , Is
supposed lo be chief among the oranla > r of
this scho no. Witli him are some Manches

province which Is r.eaily as huge as Europe
intact from slavery. Both domestic slavciv
and slave dealing have bean entnely

'I he attack of rheumatism which has con-

and has develoited into a veiy ptinlul ail

his knees and legs .Kverv movement ot his
body Is attended with soveio pain. Two
phsielans have chmce of the patient. While
the senatoi's condition has not alarmed his

It will be the tactics of the opposition In
the senate to til ? conference report on the
inter-state common o bill to delay action , and
the pi aspects are of success. The measure
cannot be disposed of in the upper blanch of
congiess until some time In January. The
lalhoads have in the city a very .strong lobby
again.sl tlio bill , and it will become despeiato
when the bill gets on the desk ot the speaker
of the house. Hv the middle ot Jannaiy
thoiuwillbo a great lush of appiopriatlon
bills , and those who can bo Induced to with
hold suppoit of 01 in a weak manner only
endoiso the bill , will be glad to take the push
ot appromlatlons as siifllcleiit excuse lei
postponing action. It is picttvsatoto say
that 11 the bill can host nod oil In the house
until attet the fust ol rebruaiy the chances
of defeating Its pissagc will bo equal to Its
success. It IIHS been many joiis since a

that , although U is proposed to lake in tlueo
