East African Company.

East African Company.
LONDON, Dec. 27.--A Zanzibar dispatch
says: ''It has been discovered that an agree
ment in relation to slave dealing exists be-
tween the English East Africa Company,
the Sultan of Zanzibar and the Arab slave
dealers of Manbaza. BY this agreement
the Arabs are authorized 10 carry
on the trade in slaves, and to fog or other-
wise punish them. The company, on hiring
slaves, must make arrangements with the
owners. The wages of slaves must be paid
to the owners. TIE English mission stations
are obliged, under the agreement, to return
runaway slaves to their owners.
REFUSED TO GIVE THEM UP.
"After the agreement had been signed,
the agents of the company, Mr.. MacKeu zie
and Gen. Matthews, accompanied by Man
baza Arabs, went to the Rabbi church
mission station and demanded thesurrender
of certain runaways who had taken refuge
at the station. The missionaries refused t.
give them up. The company's agents,
therefore, in order to avoid a collision paid
S25 for each slave. They were unable
to return to the owners. The consul
has issued proclamation warning
all British subjects in Zanzibar that they
will be liable 10 seven years impris lnme 1t
il they have entered into contracts for slave
labor. The British traders have made a
united protest against the order. They say
that slave labor is the only kind of labor
obtainable in Zanzibar and that If this is
cut off all work must be stopped. In view
of this protest the consul will suspend the
enforcement Of the proclamation pending
instructions from Lord Salisbury"

A BIG RIOT In DAKOTA.
RUSSIANS AND AMERICANS THE
RIVAL OPPONENTS.

The Row Started by the Theft OF a
Couple of Chickens and Their
Replacement by Goose - Several
Men Injured but Only One Reported
as Fatally Hurt.
ST. PAUL. MINI, Dec. 27.--A special to
the Pioneer Press from Sioux City says. :
A serious riot occurred this morning near
Trip, Dakota, between Russian mennon-
ties and Americans. A public sale was
held at the farm of Russian named Sink,
and an American farmer named Merchant
purchased dozen chickens.
A GOOSE FOR TWO CHICKENS.
When ready to start home he found two
chickens missing and complained to Sink,
who told him TO take something of equal
value. He caught a goose and stared
home, but was overtaken by party of
eight Russians, who claimed the goose as
their property.
TWENTY MEN IN ROW.
A wrangle ensued that attracted others
to the scene and soon general fight was in
progress in which some twenty men were
engaged, with the Russians as the ag-
gressors. Two brothers, named johnson,
who were passing, joined in the melee with
knives A Russian, named Mayer, was
stabbed, and he in turn split Charles John
sons head with q neckyoke, infiicting a
fatal injury.
1T ALSO BROKE AN ARM.
The same weapon broke the arm of
George johnson, and knives were used to
slash up three other Russians badly, but not
fatally. The Americans found the force
opposing them too strong, and withdrew
from the field. The wounded Russians were
taken care of by their companions, and
nothing can be learned from them, owing
to their clannish customs. The affair has
created most intense excitement in the
neighborhood, where a majority of the
settlers are Russians. Officers are now in
vestigating.

THEFT OF THE $40 BILL.
A Belief that it was Found on the Floor
by an Employe.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The investiga-
ton in the office of the comptroller of the
currency in the matter of the $40 national
bank note presented for redemption after
having been once redeemed aud cancelled,
has SO far failed to disclose how the note
escaped destruction by the macerating
machine. The impression is growing amor g
those engaged in the investigation that the
note accidentally slipped from the
package while being counted by
the banks agent and was picked
up by a dishonest employe. This is
strengthened by the fact that note OF like
denomination was found in a waste basket
two days before this note was presented for
redemption. The first note, however, was
found by an honest messenger and was I'M
mediately surrendered to the clerk in
charge.
