There ia no mistaking the keenness of his eye, however, ami the determination written in every line of his bronzed features. Personally Stanley never was a hand" some man. although his broad shoulders and thick neck would attract any one who admired strength, but his face was always, as it is at present, etidowetl with an intellectuality that is unmistakable. It is the face of a man born to command, resolute, aggressive, and one that at times may become dangerous in its expression. For this reason it is not difficult to understand why even alone and single handed he could both intimidate and encourage his savage followers. Doubtless it, is this imperious manner, t added to rijrid discipline, that not his whito associates in check, but aroused the spirit that has since their arrival in England found vent in recrimination and complaint. The most vital points of jnterest connected with Stanley's last expedition having been already made public with much detail, our conversation chiefly concerned early reminiscences, and it was a surprise to observe how closely his memory retained the incidents of a meeting that took place as far back as 1874. He was then on a visit to New Y'ork, after having found Livingstone, although his reception was very different from that which has been accorded him now. In fact, some of the newspapers doubted his exploit and pronounced him little less than a fraud. He felt it keenly. He reminded me, too, of his proposition during our interview at that time to organize an American company with a capital of only $101,000, of which he proposed to advance from $25,000 to $40,000, for the purpose not merely of continning his explorations, but to establish trading posts in the neighlxirhood of Lake Tanganyika and other localities he had visited, where were to be found immense stores of ivory, oils and gums. An endeavor was made among some of the capitalists in Wall street the very next day to raise the required sum, but to a man they turned their back upon the proposition, and thus lost at once a chance to realise great fortunes, and to do what Stanley afterward induced the king of the Belgians to undertake, namely, to plant his flag there and establish a state. Stauley also humorously recalled what he termed one of his ' 'castles in Spain," that he saw growing up as the result of his newly accumulated wealth. After establishing the company above described he was to return to New Y'ork, marry, erect a great mansion on the Hudson, surround it with boBgaXoOt built in central African style, where all the journalists of New Y'ork could meet and enjoy themselves, and stock the grounds with wild animals.
