Abstract
THE rumour as to the death of Mr. Stanley is universally discredited in geographical circles, and among those directly interested in the Emin Pasha Expedition. The rumour seems quite inconsistent with the news as to Mr. Stanley's having left the Aruwimi River on June 3 for Wadelai. Had he been shot, as reported, it must have been after this date, and during the land journey, whereas one version of the rumour gives out that he was killed on the Congo. He may meet with Emin Pasha sooner than he expected. Emin, it seems, is at present exploring on the south of the Albert Nyanza, endeavouring to find the connexions of the great affluent he discovered on the south side of the lake, and ascertain whether it may proceed from the Mwuta Nzige. So that he and Mr. Stanley may meet half way. Letters from Mr. Stanley are expected in this country early in August.
