American Grasps the Hand of Amer can—An Eloquent Address by the Guest of the Evening. [Copyright 189 by James Gordon Bennett.\ Losvox, May 3 —[New York Herald Cable—-Special to Tue Ber]—Banquets to Stanley are becoming by this time as the sands of the sea, which no man can number. Tt was, however, to be expected that of them all the most. recent would also be the most hearty, for it was last night that the Ameri- can testimonial banquet was given to Henry M. Stanley, as his American countrymen love to spealc of the great explorer, under the ehairmanship of Mr. J. Amer can consul general. As the hour drew near for the inauguration of the banquet, the scene in the reception room was of the hap- t. It was not only America’s tribute to foremost man of the hour, of the day and of the age but over and above that it afforded o welcome oprortunity for the reunion of friends from across the seas, American grasped the band of American, and all sorts of recognitions were effected. The son of California greeted man justarrived from Japtm, Even *efore the banqueting hall was reached friendship, brotherhood and common friend- ship had established themsclyes as the pr vailing sentiments of the evening. The magic Qf vatriotism spread its kindly spell over the assembl In rence and in ancous heartiness the welcome accorded to Mr. Stunley was well in line with the pub- lic g ngs of his kinsmen on this side of the ocean, where reigned harmony, crowned with the exuberance of rejoicing. Each and every state, from New York to Texas, from California to Massachusetts was separately represented, either in persons con- stituted delegates or by the presence of the shiclds which decorated the walls of the ban- queting chamber. Idaho, the gem of the mountains, sent its own special greeting to the heroic Stanley, and everywhere the sta spangled banner was locked in the warm em- brace of the union jack. After the usual loyal toasts “The Presi dent?.was proposed by Sir Charles Tupper, high commissioner of the Dominion of Can- ada, who paid an eloquent and hearty tribute to the ruler over 60,000,000 peoplo, renowned for their progress not only in commerce, but in the arts, science and literature of the na- tion, which was the admiration of the whole civilized world, and not least of the country which lay to the north. “The Chief Guest” s proposed by the chairman, Consul Gen- AlJ. C. New, who referred to the day upon which Columbus started from Spain to dis- cover a land of the existence of which no one kuew and none ¢ he believed. Nearly four hundred s rolled on, empires, kingdoms wnd republics rose and flourished or fell, art and scieuce advanced, Europe and the United ingdom founded and developed greal colonies, founded colleges and universities,explored the heavens, discovered new planets and worlds therein, and mapped them out with the cer- taiuty of exact science. Yet it remained for & man starting from the land that Columbus discovered te penetrate, cross and open up a continent the exterior of which was so well known to the people of that day. In conclu n, he had been delegated to present to the explorer a silken flag of the United States to Americans a bauner of beauty and of glory —and a silver shicld, emblematic and in rc nition of his achievements in “dar] Africa.”” Mr. Stanley, who was listenc amid an impressive silence, said in “On a wintry afternoon in 1 twenty- two years ago, I started from America to Africa at the imperial command of one of the dollar powers of Ame At that time I was as fgnorant us a babe of the land I Nyvas going to. As T look sk upon self in those s and my stock of resour- ces. Tam not unmindful that none could be poorer in what was fitting and nesessary, but I possessed some natural store of good will and fondness for work, and a wholesome spect for what is called the boss, or employer. You perhaps have been abroad longer than [ have, and may bave forgotten that the dollar power in America is more arbitvary and im- perious than here, Down south it is vulgar- 1y shown in the words “Root hog ordie.” In other words, if you do not work you shall not eat. It takes longer to know an Englisman than any Christian or Pagan Iever came aross.

They could not execute laws. They knew laws, but they lacked the courage to act up to them, and therefore a republic, ch can quly bo maintained by perfect justice, was TMmpossible, It was necessary for me to’wan- der further aficld, to view cities, men, great works, great assemblies and many countries o, Palestine, Turkey, Russia, Persia and Indin—and, after being well seasoned with experience, Africa, as a leader of men of myown. According to the rules of things I was not ripe, judging from what T know now to what [ knew then. I was still very young and rash, headstrong, and relying too much on force. Fortunately fate was pro. pitious and I was not prematurely cut off, Time to think was accorded me by the cir- cumstances of tho march of 1,500 miles into Africa, und it was reflection T needed. Yet I was o dull pupil, for my blood was like molten lava, 1 must admit that while with Livingstone 1 saw 10 good in the land I traveled through The negro was precisely what ho ought to be, & born Pagant, & most unloving and unlova- ble savage. Nevertheless much of what Liv fngstone expounded was unanswerable. But Iattempted to parry what he said by layish abuse of tho natives and their country. In 1878 I was back again in Afvica, the opposite side of Africa, and after the brief Ashantee campaign roturned with a few more experi- ences. The beginning of my real African ed- ucation was in 1575, While sailing along the shores of the greatest lake in Afvica it came like @ revelation to me, Now I have shown you what a dull, slow student I was, It took ten years for the people to believe thoroughly that I did find Livingstone, Why, only a few days ago one of the most prominent wen P the kost to rosponse. 7, Just dis: ratly whether in England sald : ‘I do not k has lately been doing in Africa, but when I see him I shall gladly listen to him.!

Great Britain and Germany Take Up the African Matter Again, A LONG STRUGGLE IS EXPEOTED, The Emperor Disposed to Give the So- cialists Freer Breath—Bismarck Explaingthe Famous “Blood and Iron" Phrase. [Copyright 1890 by the New York Assoctated Press.] Benury, May 31.—Emperor William was today able for the first time since last Sun- day's accident to hobble about the room on a crutch, veral of the smaller bones in his ankle were broken and the whole leg is contused. The doctors insist on his taking a longer rest. Throughout the week tho em- peror has kept the sceretaries and ministors actively at work. He was displeased at the delays in the negotiations with 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 were fixed 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 northern extremity of Tangangicka to Albert Nyanza; that Uganda and British Unyoro shall be neutral ground and that navigation of the lakes shall be frce. The British ambassador evidently thought the bases good enough to justift the resumption of the discussion, as he has recalled Lord Sulis bury’s envoy, and the matter will be reopened A long struggle is expected over the matter. Major Wissman comes here about June 23 and Dr. Peters early in July, each loaded with facts and reasons in support of the Ger- man claims, The minor state of June 28, and if the renew it the siege ends in Leipsic on government does not fact will signalize tho determination of the authorities to cease the special socialist enactments throughout Germany. According to the so- clalist Volksblatt the Saxon government has asked the bundesrath to prolong the law. This demand has aroused the emperor, who designs to place before the bundesrath data in sup- port of the non-renewal of the measure, The official tendency here mnow s in accordance with the emper- or's desire to give the sociulists ‘‘reer breath.” The police report entirely free every section from connection with forcign anarchists and dispel the suspicion that the recent strikes were incited from abroad. Russians or other foreigners resident in the populous centers of Germany who are known to be in sympathy with the socialists are not known as afilliated with any revolu- tionary society. Mendelssohn, Nakatchitz, Demski and Kemstein, who were arrested in Paris, have each the same police record here, dating years back. Mendelssohn figured in a socialist trial at Posen in 1583 and after serving a term in prison he was de- livered to the Russian police on the charge of being concerned in a plot to wreck the czar's in, H ped and took retuge in Switz- crland. s been a student in Berlin and has 0 under special surveil- lance. s closely watched by the Rus- sian police during the last visit of the czar.

The Ham- hsten predicts incvitable in- ion when the restraints on the pro- at are vemoved. Itadds: “When the wuns have spoken God knows what wiil hap- pen. Perchance the bloodshed following the revolt will have a salutary influence upon the social organism, but it is certain that the remewal of repressive measure will be pitiless. Otherwise troubles will again avise and the gangrene of sociulism may rot even the army.” The Nachrichter doubtless reflects Bismarcl's opinion which continues to influence the members of the bundesrath. Bismarck, in a specch to the delegates of the polytechnic academies, who presented him with an address, reminded them of the value of the idea of unity pe meating Germany. People who ascribe to him the phwmso that unity could only be established by blood and ivon misunderstood his saying, What he meant was that the king at that time ought to have as much power as possible in order that in case of need ke might throw all the blood and iron into the seale. Fortunately Germany hud got past that now, and the greatest for- tune for the country was peace. He did not believe a German emperor would ever look upon a map with the Napoleonic lust of con- quest in his heart. The resignation of Baron von Lutz varian prime assock , the Ba minister, is a victory for the ultramontanes. Under the advico of Baron von Lutz, the rogent requested the arch- bishop of Munich to prevent the Catholie con- being held in Munich, on the ground that it would evoke centrist demonstrations obnoxious to the government. Thearchbishop, although resenting the request, prevailed upon tho Catholic leaders to the place of meeting of the congress. Baron von Lutz attacked by the moderate Cathol of Bavaria and assailed by the general public opinion of Germany, was forced to retire, The regent, in accepting his vesignation, sent him a bust of himself and an autogeaph letter praising his services to the state and an nouncing his appoiutment to the list of special state chancellors, Baron Crailsheim becomes premicr with the foreign portfolio, and Dr. Von Muel now president of police, becomes ministe; public worship.
