The Work of Arab Slavers.

A rust of wind the other day upset
An Arab Slave dhow, and 100 hapless
wetches who were sailing to slavery
IN Arabia were drowned in sight of
the English cruiser which was on the
way to rescue them. In the same week
another SLAYER was captured after
hard FIGHT, in which a number of the
forty slaves on board received bullets
intended for their captors. That the
export slave trade of the east African
coast F, still active is attested by the
fact that in two years nearly fifty of
these slave dhows have been captured;
Vet the punishment inflicted upon the
guilty slave StealcrS does not debar
other, from engaging in the perilous
Nut profitable business.
Recent facts collected by the agents
Of the Auti-Slavery society Of England
show tlla, slaves were never cheaper
10 Arabia nor more numerous than ut
present There has been a great re-
yjyal Of the slave trade in the Soudan,
aud the followers of the Mahdi have
sent many hundreds of their captiyes
to the coast to be dispatched across the
Red sea in the night 10 markets in Ara
5ia Even the daughters of wealthy
Rbartoum merchants have been con-
signed to this terrible fate. The mar
ketS for which the dhows ship their
loads Of bondsmen at many an unfre-
quented point along the coasts of the
Red sea and the Indian ocean are
mainly in Arabia and Turkey. The
present khedive of Egypt, who owns
no slaves and who pays wages to the
bondSmen whom his father left behind
him, is apparently powerless TO pre-
Vent slave shipments from parts of his
western coast, which, Il few years ago,
he orlcrrd kept clear of slayers.
A recent writer in an English review
after picuring the fresh horrors of this
revived traffic, sees no hope Of again
sitting the trade without a rigid patrol
Of some thousands of miles OF coast.

The Washington correspondents are
trying to find out whether the Admins
tration has informed the British govern
ment that the Presidents retaliatory
message is only for buncombe. Mr..
Bayard denies that he has sent any word
to Mr.. Phelps to that effect or said any
thing to the British Minister at Wash
ington, but some insist that III some
way the President has caused Lord Sal
isbury to know that he means nothing
by it. There need be no worry on this
subject on the part of any body. The
retaliatory message was an electioneer-
ing dodge on the part of Cleveland and
it was nothing else. 1t was so under
stood every where, at Ottawa, and in
London as well as at home, There was
therefore no occasion for its author
to inform the British ministry
what its true character was, They
laugh at it as everybody else does, and
it is a fit subject for ridicule.
