BniNni i , April 10. [ New York Herald
Cable Special to Tun Brn.-Seatcd all
nlonc on the deck of n big steamer that swept
the blue Adriatic tea , Stanley saw the sun
rise ocr the soft green shores of Italy this
morning. Behind him was Africa , with its
story of death and dai Ing Before him was
Kuropo weaving a chaplctof fame for him.
The sun scorched his brows as the Hydaspe
lunged onward through the jeweled w atcrs ,
and the white walls anil blazing windowpanes -
panes of Brindisi dawned upon his sight.
The passengers stood aloof from that lonely
figure with Its crown of snowy hair and
wistful PJCS. Stanley wished to bo alone
with his thoughts , and everyone seemed to
understand It.
When the vessel glided Into the harbor and
was made fast to the pier three excited
Italians crowded up the gangway and rushed
nt the great'explorer Stanley arose nnd lis
tened to their s ] > eoch. The committee in
formed him that he was a wonderful man ,
that the world was ringing his praises , and
that he was w elcomc to Brindisi , one of the
f greatest and most glorious places on earth
Stanley does not understand Italian He
blared at the committee and the committee
htarf d at him Then the British v ice consul
bnde him welcome In Knglish Next a dele
gation from the Italian Geographical so
ciety addressed him. Still ho made no
sjicech It was exasperating , amazing. Sud-
denlj an idea seemed to occur to Stanley Ho
put his arm through the arm of his faithful
follower , Surgeon Darkc , and quietly walked
down the gang plank and fled to his hotel
Later on the sub prefect called and read him
the follow ing address from the prune min
ister
The Itnll.in nation , admiring the great and
no'.ili deeds nnd applauding the Intrepid trav
eler -tanlej- , who has accomplished for
humanitarian ends one of thu greatest under
takings of the counto , desires him to bo Its
pnest. CinsPi.
Stanley replied that he was profound ! }
grateful forltalj's hospitality , but he had
made engagements to go to Cannes and thence
to Brussels.
for an hour I walked up and down the
quaint shore and n.uaj of the harbor w ith the
ddiverer of Emin He was stouter than
when I saw him ia New Yoik , over three
jc-ars ago , but was the same quiet , cool-
beudcd man , speaking slowly but always to
the ] x > int. Mv first question roused him :
Stanley , w hat has become of the equa-
tonal province abandoned by EminJ"
"It has been conquered long ago by the
Muhdists. Four stations were in their hands
wten we left. There was nothing in the
cojntrj to resist their advance "
"And what has become of the people you
left behind f
"Thej hav e scattered , and each little group
lias no doiibt chosen a chief There were 300
irregular troops pressed into service b } Emin
from the surrounding territory. They have
tfonelfack to their people The two bat-
t.illions of regulars hao been probably w iped
out b.v slaughter and dcseitiou ' '
' Then what is left of the work accom
plished b.v Eminf"
' There is nothing Give me such a force
s ho had and I wul retrieve it all in one
month. "
"You know vour enemies say that Emin
X could have continued to govern and cairj on
thewoik. "
"Ha , I do , and it is absurir"
"Supine ; j ou had left Emin w here you
found him. What would have been the re-
sultl"
Stanley turned upon mo and with flashing
e.ves stretched one hand toward the sea. "Ho
would have been at this moment at Khartoum
as u common slave. "
"You have no doubt ofltl"
"None whatever. Mho Mahdists would
hav e made him share a common fate. Noth
ing could hav o saved him If I had found
Kinlu with a strong and stable force and an
established authont } I would have given him
ammunition It would have been give , give ,
giv e , and pray to God for the rest. I found
Emin and made him three offers. Tlrst , to re
main and receive JE1.VK ) a } ear , secondly , to
bo escorted to another part of Africa and
i.
there established a governor ; thirdly , to be
. taken out of Africa safe. Ho t-aid ho wanted
time to think. I gave him a year and went
away under a cloud of mjstcry which was
enl } i > cnetratcd w hen I returned and found
Emin a prisoner. But I asked : 'Was Emin
anything more than prisoner In name onlj I'
Ho was a much a prisoner as a fellow in
ihulns His people did not want him. The }
haiil In effect , 'Go and gather butterflies and
bui's , but w e wantnono of } on. ' There w as no
gi'v erument left. Hi * sen-ants would not
o'lev him When ho asked how many would
ixturn with him enl } ono man consented. Ho
w as a captain whoso crew had mutined and
turned him adrift in a snnll boat. Had ho
been frank w ith mo w hen first I met him and
told me his situation I would have advised
him how to act. When 1 returned it was too
late to do anv thing bat sav o him. "
"What doou know of Euilu's action in
Joiniugthe Germans ! "
"It Is only natural. "
"But , Stanley , } ou nave beard It said that
certain people worked on Kmln's mind while
he wus sick in Bagomoyo and convinced htm
that he had been put in a huiuiliatiugposltlon
b } being rescued. "
" Yw , tlmt Is so , for is the Germans wanted
to get him In their servlco there was not a
J.MIXT way. He was sick nnd in their hospi
tal Ten" minutes before the ten iblo accident
tlmt almo.t oo t him hU life ho made a most
grateful Hieecb , but after ho was in the Ger
man hctopltal all the old friendly relations
bctmedto cease ami wo could not even get
oui letters ansvv ered. "
' What do jou think the Germans mean ! "
"The Gei man * , by employing the men they
want , miuex territory. "
What territor } I"
"Will , them U no doubt that ho Is going
to KX t In and out oT ( the BritUh coast from
the iuarior of Africa. "
' U wivs iigrved between England and Ger-
iii in } thut uacli should have its sphere uf lu-
tli cuco dlv Idod by a fixed linel"
"It was if England should roatrol all of
Is'orth Africa from the north sldo and Ger-
in mv should control Mil fivuu thu south
*
t > ult > to thu bay , thu river to become
common to both. England and Germany
ugrtvii not to cut each other oft in the rour ,

that is true , what jwrt of A trim would } oui i

"Oh. thut would bo telling talcs out of

"I do. and as they were fully explained
then to Emin IIP knows every detail. He is
txiw in the service of HKJ Germans , and I
hav o no doubt that ho has revealed every
thing to his new einplojeis , und that the } are
acting on facts. ' '
"Then w hut Is the solution of this whole ,
A friean problem , Stanley I Can the Soudan
be retaken I' '
"It can , but only by a nation that has a
definite plan and adopts definite aims. The
Soudan can be mastered Just as certainly us
any other part of Africa. "
"But hov.-l By a long and bloody war I'1
"Not necessarily. There are millions of
Ara.b fighters who can bo bought. The nation
that arms these i > eople w 1th modern nfles and
tells them where they are to strike vv ill not
only master the Soudan , but noith Africa ,
Esrpt Included.1
"And do } ou think the Germans are push
ing on to the center of the Soudan I'1
btnnle.v whitlod round on his heel and
pointed to where a squad of Italian stone
cutters were at work beside un unfinished
building. "Look at those men , " he said
"What arc they hewing those stones for' " '
"Why , to build that house , of course. '
"And } et if } ou itsk me , do you think they
will build the house , I can only answ er that
it looks as if that was their intention. "
"Could vou get possession of the Soudan'1'
"I have not the slightest doubt of it , , nnd it
could be done if England would oaly'doher
dut1
"It would cost lots of money , would It
noU"
"Yes , such n project would need at least
-3,000,000 It would bo useless to start with
le s. I doubt ver } much that the Soudan
could be' civ ilized vv ith that amount of money ,
but I say that a good beginning could be
made and a foundatioa of government sub
stantial ! } built '
"Would } ouundeitake the work , Stanlo } I" '
" 1 will answer that by saing that there is
not a government in Europe that has the
stamina to do it. Such a work needs a
nucleus in the sha ] > e of a man of vast wealth
or a man of vast influence I told Sir
Kutheiford Alcock In Ib7s that inside of
tvvent } vcars there would not be a square
mile ? of Africa unexplored I said that in
some pel led of time the continent would be
pieree-d in all directions by railwa.vs if there
vv as mono } furnished. Enirland has taken a
million of square miles out of Africa , Prance
has taken a million also , and so has Gernfany
God , who would have dreamed in IbTb , when
I was fighting my wa } mile b } mile dow n the
Upper Congo , that todij there would be thii-
teen steamers on its waters "
"And what will happen when the Germans
build their lailwu } from Bagamoo ! Will
the } not e-ontrol the lake region ! "
"Of corn-so the } will , and if they get the
lake region the } will destroy the whole value
of the British pc-sessions on the coast. After
a v.hilo the } would want the coast as well. "
"If the Germans get Albeit and Victoria
lakes , will they not be masters of the Nile'1
' Go and look at the map. It is not ncces-
sar } to get an } boil's opinion. Them are
volumes on the map of northeast Africa , but
just now It tells the whole stor } itself"
"Is it true that } ou have been offered the
gov enioi-snlp of IJrtUsn Africa ! "
"H is not. "
"Have you leceive'd any offer to re-enter
Africa'1
"Xo You see me literal ! } walking up and
down this quay line a discharged sailor , and
that Is Just what I am so far as Africa is con-
eenic'd Thewoik there must be taken up
witli courage and pressed until it is fairly
finished. As I said before , when England
is read } to do her woik as she ought ,
the north African question will be solved ,
but no sting } or wavering method wi'l '
succeed There must be a distinct object in
view- and a definite intention to accomplish it.
Why , take tills for instance , the Emm relief
expedition It was real ! } five w eeks before I
got the ordei to go , and } et I was- allow cd to
go to America and begin a lecture tour just
because a few pounds were licking "
"What kind of a gov eminent do } ou think
will succeed in East Africa ! "
"Such a government as the Congo Fiee
Suite lias. There the s } stem is suited to the
people "
"But doou think it worthwhile for any
nation to possess northeast Africa ) What is
there to gam t"
"There is land to gain land tlmt will grow
almost an } thing under the sun. AVhy , this
soilou see hero in southern Italy "and
Stanley pointed to the green slopes rising
from thu liaibor "would not be looked at in
Africa Wo should call it sterile. Then
there are millions of strong men to gain , men
who can bo converted into wealth by proper
management. Every laborer who enters the
United States is valued at $1,003 as an nddl-
tiun to national wealth. Africa teems with
black men , and they can bo easily controlled
As this population becomes civ ilized it must
be clothed and housed. Think of w hat a
great woik it will bo for a nation "
"Now , Stanley , I want to ask } oun per
sonal questiou. Would vou relieve Emin
tiguhi U . ou found him In the equatorial pro
vince , helpless ! "
' 'Under the same circumstances , } es
There was nothing to do but to abandon the
country. He himself wrote to Germany that
If Stanley did not aiiivo soon they would all
bo lost. Five weeks after ho wrote that let
ter I had him in ray fingers. 1 appeal to his
own testimony that his government had fallen
and he had no hope. "
"But If Emm appears in that province now ,
will the scattered people rally to him ! "
"No , he can only retake it with a powerful
force. "
"And do you think the Germans have a
right to go there or not I"
"I had the authority of the khedlvo of Egypt
to take his governor out of the country nml
abandon U. The province belongs to no ono
now. "
"How about Tippoo Tibl Do you think he
will go to Get many ! "
"Well , Tippoo Tib will go wherever there
is money , like all men of his class who want
to get rich and hav o no moraht } . "
At Home , Stanley will bo presented with n
gold medul. The Italian Geographical society
of Brussels sent him a formal address of con
gratulation tonight. There is some sort of a
big movement on foot Stanley will meet Sir
William Muckiuno of the Emin relief commit
tee In Camieo. In conclusion Stanley said that
ho luul aimlyiotl everouo In his new book
and luwl not sacrificed the truth to politeness

appointed a coinmlttcojg consider the three
propositions as presented in the original
Windom trill , the Jonesiblll and the bill recently -
cently reported by thohouse committee on
coinage , weights and measures , and to agree
upon the notion whiell the majority of the
senate should take. The senate committee Is
composed of thirteen nators , six of whom
arc well Imown gold njen , six strong advo
cates ( of the unlimited free coinage of silver
and one who is regarded as occup } ing a ncu-
tral position and wild i 'thcrcfore supposed to
be a friend of both gold and silver. The
thirteenth man is Senator Allison of Iowa
The committee in full Is as follows , the first
six after Senator Allison being gold men and
the next six silver men : Allison of Iowa ,
Momll of Vermont , Sherman of Ohio , Platt
of Connecticut , Aldricb of lihode Island , IIis-
coek of New York , Edmunds of Vermont ,

This committo in engaged in tnking the
sentiment of not only tire senate but the lead

ascertain the most popUlar course to pursue ,
and it is likely that there will be a Joint con
ference with a committee from the house be
fore a final determination is reached The
committee met at the' residence of Senator

little if any doubt that a bill providing for
