Bands of the sen , which no man can number.
It was , however , to bo expected lhat of them
nil the most recent would also bo the most
hearty , for it was last night that the Ameri
can testimonial hnnquct was given to Henry
M. Stanley , as his American countrymen love
to speak of the great explorer , under the
chairmanship of Mr J. C. New , the Ameri
can consul gencinl. As the hour diow near
for Iho inauguration of Iho banqucl , Iho
scene In the reception room was of the hap
piest It was not only America's tribute to
tl.o foremost man of the hour , of
the day nnd of the ago but over
nnd above that It afforded n welcome
opportunity for the reunion of friends from
across Iho sens. American grasped Iho hand
Of American , nnd nil sorts of recognitions
wcio cffeetcd. The son of California greeted
l ) , his countryman Just arrived from Japan. Even
'before the banqueting hall was reached
friendship , brotherhood nnd common friend
ship hud established themselves as the pic-
vailing ; sentiments of the evening. The magio
9j patriotism spread its kindly spell over the
assembled guests In magnificence nnd in
spontaneous heartiness the welcome accorded
to Mr Stanley was well in line with the pub-
lie greetings of his kinsmen on this sldo of
the ocean. Evcrjwheio reigned harmony ,
crowned w ith the exuberance of rejoicing.
Each and ov cry state , from Now York to
Texas , from California to Massachusetts was
separately represented , either in persons con
stituted delegates or by the presence of the
shields which decorated the walls of the ban
queting chamber. Idaho , the gem of the
mountains , sent its own special greeting to
the heroic Stanley , nnd evcrywhcio the star-
spangled banner wns locked in the warm em
brace of the union jack.
Aflcr Iho usual loyal toasts "Tho Presi
dent" was proposed by Sir ClmrlcsTupper ,
high commissioner of the Dominion of Can
ada , who paid an eloquent nnd hearty tribulo
A to tlio ruler over 00,000,000 people , renowned
*
for their progress not only in commerce , but
in the arts , science and literature of the na
tion , which wns the admliallon of the whole
clvlllrcd world , and not least of the country
which lay to the north. "Tho Chief Guest"
was proposed by the chairman , Consul Gen
eral J. C New , w ho refer rod to the day upon
which Columbus slatted from Spain to dis
cover n land of the existence of which no ono
knew nnd none save ho believed. Nearly four
hundred jcars rolled on , empires , kingdoms
A ind republics rose nnd flourished or fell , art
S nnd science advanced , Europe nnd the United
, / kingdom founded and developed grc.il colonies ,
" 'founded colleges and utilvcrsitlcscxplorod the
heavens , discovered new planets and worlds
therein , and mapped them out % v Ith the cor
tnlnty of exact science. Yet it remained fern
n man starting fiom the land that Columbus
discovered tc pcactrato , cross and open up a
continent the exterior of which wiv > so well
know n to the people of that day. In conclu
sion , ho had been delegated to piesent to the
explorer a silken ling of the United States
, to Americans n banner of beauty and of gloiy
' and a silver shieldemblematic and in lecog-
ultlon of Ids achievements in "darkest
Africa" Mr Stanley , who was listened 10
nmld nn impressive silence , said in response
"On n wintry afternoon in 16(17 ( , jtiit twenty-
twoyears ago , I started fiom Ameuca to
Africa nt the Imperial command of ono of the
dollar powers of America At that tlmo
I was as ignoiant us a babe of the land I
v vas going to. As I look back upon
itself In these days and my stoIt of resour
ces. I am not unmindful that none could boA
peeler In what was fitting and ne-essiny , but
I possessed some natural store of good will
and fondness for work , nnd n wholesome respect -
spect for what is called the boss , or employer.
You pci haps have been abroad longer than I
have , and may hnvo forgotten that the dollar
power in America Is moio arbitrary and im-
pcilous than hero. Down south It Is vulgar
ly shown In the words "Iloot hog ordio " In
other words , If jou do not work you shall not
cat. It takes longer to know an Engllsman
than nny Clnhtian or Pagan lover cimo
n loss. Ho does not walk up to you as a
Yankee does and pester you w Ith questions
about your pi ivato business nnd your conju
gil experiences. Ho looks mostly as if ho
didn't enro whether you lived or dled.starvcd
or rotted Slill my education was , I must
tiay most Incomplete w hen I loft Abj sslnla at
least so the New York Herald thoinrht Ac-
coidhigly I was sent to Spain to study Eng
lish war's and polities. In those days the
Spaniards thought they could maitago n re
public quite ivs well as Amei leans. Spanish
leaders % veroa well rend people , but having
been brought up in the stUes ami mixed with
sturdy English journalists and soldleis , I dis
covered n defect that I doubt greatH whether
these Spanish leaders uro conscious of yet
They could not execute luvvs They know
laws , but they lacked tlio courage to act up to
them , nnd thcrofoto a republic , which can
only bo maintained by perfect justice , was
" " Impossible. It was necessary for mo to'wan
der fin Ihoralleld , to view cities , men , great
% vorks , great assemblies and many countries
Greece , Palestine , Turkey , Uussla , Persia
and India nnd , after being well seasoned
wllh experience , Africa , as a lorderof men
of my own. According to the rules of things
I was not ripe , judging from what I know
now to what I know then. I was still very
young and rash , headstrong , nnd relying too
much on force Foi innately fate was pro
pitious and I was not prematurely cut off.
Tlmo to think was accorded mo by the cir
cumstances of the march of 1HK ) miles Into
Africa , and it was rollccUon I needed. Yet I
% vas a dull pupil , for my blood % vos llko
molten lava.
" 1 must admit tlmt whllo with Livingstone
I saw no good In the land I trawled through.
The negro w as precisely w hat ho ought to bo ,
a born Pagant , a most unloving and unlova-
bio savage , Never thcless much of what Liv
ingstone expounded was unanswerable. But
1 attempted to parrr % \ hat ho said by lavish
abuse of the native * and their country. In
lbl ! I was back again In Africa , the opposite
n sldo of Africa , and after the brief Ashautco
campaign returned with a few more expeil-
cnces , Tlio beginning of my real African ed
ucation % vus in li > 75. U'hllo sailing along the
chores of the greatest lake In Africa it came
like a rc % elation to me. Now I hnvo shown
j ou w hat n dull , slow student I w as , It took
ten years for the jtcoplo to belluv o thoroughly
that I did Hud Livingstone. Why , onlv n
few duj s ago one of the most prominent uicu
In England said ! 'I do not know what Stanley
has lately been doing In Africa , but when I
see him I shall gladly listen to him.1 Many
great cities have been pleased to endow mo
with honorary freedom and honor without
end.

The Congo state had been founded nnd re

Bnnux , Mny 31. Emperor William was
today able for the first tlmo since last Sun
day's accident to hobble about the room on
a crutch. Several of the smaller bones in
his ankle were broken nnd the whole leg is
contused. The doctors insist on his taking a
longer rest. Throughout the week the em
peror has kept the secretaries nnd ministers
acllvoly at work. Ho was displeased at
the delays in the negotiations w 1th England
regarding Africa and took entire control of
the matter. After several conferences with
the British ambassador and the heads of the
colonial department proposals % vcro flxed
upon which it Is thought will prove accepta
ble to Lord Salisbury. Briefly , they
are that the German sphere shall
extend to the limits of the Congo state ,
from the nor them extremity of Tangangicka
to Albert Nyanxn ; that Uganda and British
Unjoro shall bo neutral ground and that
navigation of the lakes shall bo free. The
British ambassador evidently thought these
bases good enough to justlft the resumption of
the discussion , ns ho has recalled Lord Sails-
burj's envoy , nnd the matter will bo reopened.
A long struggle is expected over the matter.
Major Wissmnn comes hero about Juno 23
and Or. Peters early in July , eacn loaded
with facts and reasons in support of the Ger
man claims.
The minor stale of siege ends in Lcipslo on
Juno 28 , nnd if Iho government docs not
renew it the fact % vlll signalize
the determination of the authorities
to ccaso the special socialist enactments
throughout Germany. According to the so
cialist Volksblatt the Saxon government has
asked the bundcsiath to prolong the law. This
demand has aroused the emperor , % v ho designs
to place befoio the bundesiath data in sup
port of the non-renewal of the measure.
The official tendency heio now is
In accordance with the emper
or's dcs-iro to give the socialists
"freerbreath. " The police repoit entirely
fico every section from connection % vith
foieign anarchists nnd dispel the suspicion
that the recent strikes were incited fiom
nbioad. Russians or other foi eigners resident
in the populous centers of Get man j w'ho aio
known to bo in sympathy with the socialists
aienot known ns nfllllutcd with any revolu
tionary society. Mendelssohn , Nakatchitz ,
Demski and Kemsteln , who % vero
ancstcd In Paris , have each the sumo police
record here , dating jear-s back. Mendelssohn
flguicd in a socialist trial at Posen in 16S3
nnd after serving a term in prison ho was dc-
Hvcicd to the Russian police on the charge of
being conceinod in a plot to % % reck the czar's
train. Ho escaped anil took refuge in Switz
erland. Nakatchitz has been u student in
Berlin and has been under special surveil
lance. He w ns closely watched by the Hus-
sian police during the last visit of the war.
Kcmstein has relations with the Leipslc
socialists and assisted Demski while nt J5uuch
in the circulation of socialist prmphlcts.
No disclosuies arising fiom the uiiest in
Pans can injure the chances of the socialists
for obtaining a lelepso fiom exceptional dis
abilities , the police inquiries freeing every
know n leader from the remotest association
with anaichists. Whatever relations once
existed have now long ceased.
The Bnndesiath's assent to permit the so
cialist law to expiio is doubtful. The Ham
burger Xnc.hr Ichstcn predicts inevitable in-
suuection when the icsti-.unts on tlio pro
letariat are removed. It adds : "When the
guns havo&poken God knows what will hap
pen. Perchance the bloodshed following the
revolt will have a salut.uy influence upon the
Rnclnt m'.rfintum linf. It. ia I'titil , , ttmt
the icncwal of repressive measures
will bo pitiless. Othervviso troubles will
again arise nnd the gangicnoof socialism
may rot even the nnnv. " The Nachiichtor
doubtless reflects Bism lick's opinion which
continues to influence the members of the
bundesiath. Bismarck , in n speech to the
delegates of the polj tcclmie academics , who
piescntcd him with an addiess , reminded
them of the % nine of the idea of unity per
meating Germany. People who ascribed
to him the phiaso that unity
could only bo established by blood
and lion misunderstood his saj Ing. What ho
meant was that the king at that time ought to
have as much power ns possible in eider that
in cnso of need ho might throw all the blood
and lion into Iho scale For Innately Germany
had got past that now , and the gieatest for
tune for Iho country was peace. Ho did not
believe a Gciman etupeior % vould over look
upon a map with the Napoleonic lust of con
quest in his henit.
The resignation of Baton von Lut/ , the Ba-
vniian prime minister , Is a victory for the
uUramontancs. Under Iho advice of Baton
von Lulz , the regent requested the aich-
bishop of Munich lo pi event Iho Catholic con
gress being held in Munich , on the ground
that it would evoke centrist demonstrations
obnoxious to the government. Tlio archbishop ,
although resenting the icqucst , prevailed
upon the Catholic leaders to change the
place of meeting of the congress Baton von
Lulz ntlackod by the moderate Catholics
of Bavaria and assailed by the general public
opinion of Germany , was foiccd to retire.
Thoregcnl , In accepting his icslgnallou , sent
him a bust of himself and nn autograph letter
praising his services to tlio stale and an
nouncing his appointment to the list of
special stale chancellors.
