At the Geographical Conference Mr H. M. Stanley spoke against the rash colonising of the Congo country. They should feel their way, and make the best use of the openings for commerce, and as facilities for travel improve they would be enabled to ascertain whether the climate would allow Europeans to live there.

In the Capo Assembly Mr Rhodes said that the Imperial Government had spent two and a-half millions in Bechuanaland, which they now handed over without obligations. Surely the Capo ought not to act churlishly regarding the conditions.
