LONDON, April 30th, The Germans are hurrying up a sew expedi- tion to Victoria Nyanza. Count von Schweinitz has nccepted command of the expedition, which consists of 6000 men, Ha takes the place of Oscar Borchert, who is seriously ill and unable to proceed. This expedition carries out material and other means for the construction of docks and roads on the shore of the lake.

It is all ready to start, and its departure cannot longer be delayed. While the Germans have control of all the lake, with the exception of the northern part, England has been pretty busy at Uganda, where King Mwanga, Stanley's old friend, has been deposed, and an English officer, Captain F. L. Lugard, has been nominated to reign in his stead.

Lord Randolph Churchill has issued a mani- festo in which he sets forth his attitude on the labor question, a polat hitherto undecided. The manifesto is in the form of a letter as a candidate for a seat in the House of Commons. Lord Randolph strongly supports the claims of labor, which, he says, is in a position to legalate for itself and not allow land and commerce to legis late for it. Henceforth, the manifeste contlones, labor will be Independent of all political parties, and the latter must recogafze this fact.

The Standard's Burnos Ayres correspondent says: A member of the Government has assured me last no proposal has been or is likely to be winde for a treaty between the United States and Argentina. He also authorised me to contradict the

report that a secret agreement existe whereby Uruguay guarantees to provide a Baval depot for the American navy. The United States has invited various South American republice, including Argentins, to establish a commercial league, and a discussion of the proposal in about to take place in the Argentine Congress.
