STANLEY ARRIVED IN LONDON.

London, April 26. After a reception extending over a week at Brussels, Mr Stanley has arrived in England. Both at Pover and on his arrival here, he was greeted with enthusiasm. AN ATTACK ON PORT OF NEW GUINEA On the estimates coming up for discussion to-day, Sir George Campbell moved to strike out the sum of £5000 for providing a New Guinea steamer. He condemned the contemptible bargain ol making lsew Grumea subject to administration of Queensland, a colony which was unfit to control dark races. Referring to Sir William McGregor, administrator of British New Guinea, he said he was a better explorer and naturalist than administrator, and he also attacked Mr John Douglas, who held the position of Special Commissioner in New Guinea from 1885 to 1888. Mr W. A. McArthur defended Queensland from the attack made by the last speaker, and Sir T. Esraoncle thought | it would be better to allow Queensland j to annex New Guinea. In reply Baron de Worms expressed surprise at the extreme and unwarrantable attacks made on the colonists by Sir George Campbell, and as for Sir William McGregor, it was impossible to find a better administrator, not the slightest reason in his opinion had been produced to show why the vote should be reduced. The amendment was negatived. PAUNBLL'S LAND PURCHASE SOUEMK Jt is expected that the Government will apply the principle of Parnell's Irish land scheme to districts where landlords are unwilling to sell, or tenants to purchase. Mr Parnoll declines to accept this, fearing he may be entrapped.
