General Reception Last Night and
Citizens Reception This Evening.

The thirty.thi annual meeting OF the
American Medical association began four
days session in ST. Paul yesterday. The
morning trains brought several hun
bred delegates ard The court house
was thronged with applicants to register.
When the registry closed for the day there
were $50 names recorded, and 1t is estimated
that there are still between one and two hun
dred in the city whose names have not been
registered. As many are accompanied by stheir
wives, 1t Ia probable that there are twelve
hundred, or more, medical visitors In the city.
This Is the largest attendance the association
has ever enjoyed outside OF New York city,
and, emitting the local attendance there,
larger even than at that time. The general
session was held at the Opera house, and the
several sections met in seven different halls
at9p. III. The GLOBE presents below full
report Of all the proceedings.

DR.. VIM. Lee, secretary, Of Baltimore, Md,

Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, the
St. Louis society, Philadelphia County
society, the Society of the Dis
trict of Columbia and other societies.
In the same connection Secretary Atkinson
also resd letter from DR.. Samuel D. Grote,
of Philadelphia, expressing his regret at not
being able to be present at the meeting, and
denouncing the action of the New York socie-
~ IS an insult to the association as body
and to the members personally.
The protests were quietly passed over to
the chairman of the judiciary committee, and
while no action was taken, 1t is safe to say
from the evidences of satisfaction shown. as
the several protests were announced, and,
especially at the vigorous language OF DIR.
Grote, that The New York society will not
long be a member OF the national association.
ARRANGEMENTS.
DR.. Stone then, on behalf OF the committee
of arrangements, made the following an.
nouncements:
Half fare rates, he said, had been secured to
and from Chicago aud 81. Louis; and one
fifth fare on the Omaha line west, while all
railroads running north and northwest OF st
Paul had extended free passes, good during
the entire month Of June, of which mem oers
could avail themselves when they pleased,
how they pleased, and as often as they pleased.
Continuing, Dr.. Stone said, when you receive
cards OF regulation you will find an
invitation to reception at tie Metropolitan
hotel (given last EVENING" and receptions at
private residences elsewhere snnounced). On
these OCCASIONS sll members srs expected to
be accompanied by a lady or ladies. For SO
large sn association st. Paul has but limited
hotel accommodations, but the hearts OF the
people are large, and it is only necessary for
any one to report his inability to find proper
accommodation to be properly accommo
dated. The members of the committee OF ar
engagements wear badges to designate their
position, and each member will
feel agrieved II he is not put to all the trouble
possible in looking after such and kindred
matters. Thursday afternoon you are invited
to a banquet and sail ON Lake St. Croix, by
the Hon. D. NJ. Sabin, of saltwater. The
St. Paul q Omaha road has placed
train at your disposal, OF which every one OF
you will be q conductor, go you can 60 AID
come to quit your own convenience.
There is but one regular ex
cursion rendered, that by the Lake
superior transportation company, for a
a sail upon one of the palatial steamers OF the
company upon that magnificent sheet OF
water.
The happy style In which the doctor made
bis announcements provoked much merri-
ment.

Slavery Tn Hawaii.

Nothing in current history is more shocking than the story of female slavery in the Sandwich Islands, That the abominable practice of buying and selling white girls exists there seems to be clearly proved by the state ments of H. Lange, the Cummis- siOner fur Norwegian immigrants in Hawaii, in a letter recently published in the San Francisco Chronicle. Several transactions of the kind, he says, have taken place in his presence and 70 his certain knowledge. A native of Finland bought a girl for $75. A negro and Norwegian, long residents of the islands, purchas
 ed each a girl Ou condition to work the three years agreed up
 on. Another man, whose name is given, sold his servant girl to missionary! A plantation Over- seer feel in love with glri, and proposed to her employer-reaIIy her Owner-,o buy her. The sum of S100 was demanded. The al- legged lover denurred and offered a smaller sum, and after colsid- erable wrangIing the bargain WAS closed for $72 50. the seller insur- ing the buyer that the girl was sound and a good worker. This traffic in human chattels is en- gagged in and encouraged by the large planters who rule the island the King, his Ministers and Judges being all under their sway. Mir. Lange very properly requests his Government to forbid any more immigration to Eawaii. This beastly business :is carried on in the county whose nominal sovereign was not long ago re- ceived with regal honors at Windsor Palace and in several capitals on the C0ntin ant.

Already it has been put to 8 severe strain to whip discordant elements into line, and the primaries last Saturday call forth an attenuate ed growl. The ''rule or ruin". fac tion of the Democratic party is bound to assert itself on every possible occasion; and, if we mis- take not, before the Star has succeeded in drilling them up to thoroughly harmonic state it will find that it has a task on its hands compared to which the cleaning of the Augean stables was the merest child's play.

There seems to be an inOrdin- ate amount of talk and very little action in the Egyptian trouble. For more than a month the cable has been buidened with prophe- cies of decisive move on either side, and yet solution of the problem seems as far off as ever.

As in the last difference Of opinion with the Sultan, the willy Turk, by sheer force of impudence and in- ertis, appears to be "bulldozing" the Christian world.
