PROBABLY the majority of the people of
this day fancy that the slavery of the
world is decreasing, and that as for the
slave trade, it is really a tradition-out-
side of the Arab shaving. But as mat
ter of fact, the slave trade is on the in
crease, and the nation that is most pro-
noting it is one of the most enlightened of
the earth-France. The English Consul
at Zanzibar recently officially reported that
there is marked increase in the slave
traffic carried on under the French flag.
Ships of the pattern peculiar to the sec
ton, and bearing the French colors, are
now daily departing from the Comoro
Islands, Mayotta and Madagascar, to load
with slaves. The English Blue Book last
put out admits that the traffic in human
flesh is on the increase, and that the adj
vance of Christianity and of civilizing in
luences have failed to put an end to the
horrible business. How do these facts
tally with our boast that this day is better
than Yesterday, or of any hour of the past /?
What are the enlightened nations about,
that they sit idly by and permit the most
unholy of all traffics to exist, without even
so much as protest? Here is business
conducted with rapine murder and the
most atrocious cruelty, and it is carried on,
too, under the flag of people that claim
to be the most polite, refined and humane
of any upon the earth. Is it not the pres
ent duty of other nations to warn this pre-
tentlous one that its colors must cease to
afford protection to crime that humanity
abhors and the laws of nations condemn Z?

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19th.-C. B. Beltor,
aged II years, left the planning mills al

near there he jumped off, fell and was
crushed by the wheels. He died a short
time after being removed to the County
Hospital.

CoLORED BgUIsERs.
Charley Turner, of Stockton, and Wiley
Evans, of Boston (both colored), met at the
Golden Gate Athletic Club rooms this even
ing in fight to finish contest with small
gloves TOR purse of $3.50.
Turner IS very strong and well-scienced
tighter, and the betting, which was about
even, showed that the ability of Evans was
not moderated. Young Mitchell, of San
Francisco, acted as referee.
Both men were in fine condition, Turner
weighing 40 pounds. His seconds were
Jim Carr and Billy Delaney. Evans
weighed IA pounds and was attended by
Billy Shannon and Ackers.
Time was called at $780, Both men very
cautious. Toward the end of the first
round Turner fioored Evans by heavy
highlander on the mouth, which was re-
turned by Evans later on.
Round two-Turner seemed to have
thoroughly gagged his man, and from this
Evans proved mere chopping block for
Turner, who worked him in the corners.
and finally, in the seventeenth round he
got in a heavy highlander on Evans
stomach and followed it with lefthander
on his jaw. Evans failed to come to time
at the end of ten seconds, and the match
was given to Turner.

tense. Advices from San Francisco are to
the effect that the story that Flossie's sis
ter desired to have her with her in San
Francisco that she might traffic upon her
honor, are unjust to the sister, who, while
saloon waitress, has not entertained such
views, but during the time she had her
sister in charge in San Francisco, jealousy
guarded her from bad associations. The
murder was one of the most revolving and
cruel on record, and is fully equal in its
sensational details to any of those reported
from time to time in other sections of the
country. The stigma should not attach to
this State of the murderer being permit
ted to escape. Here is an instance in
which the value of State constabulary is
demonstrable. The murder of the Young
girl takes place in mountain county the
local officers cannot act without the
bounds of that county except they follow
the murderer at their own expense; they
are not probably skilled in the search for
criminals; they have no fund at command
to meet the inevitable expense related to
following up the trail of fleeing crimi-
nal. But a State constabulary located at
widely separated points, in close commu-
nication with each other and all peace
officers, empowered to call to their assist
ance the officers of any county they enter,
and given authority to proceed to any part
of the State, or out of the State if need be,
would be on the track of the murderer and
have the avenues Of escape barred within
three hours after the discovery of the
crime. Some day we will establish such
system for the detection of crime and the
pursuit of criminals. There is no State in
the Union that so much needs it, because
of the vast expanse of our territory and
the sparsely settled condition of the coun-
ties of the valleys and the mountains.

THE Democratic press in some quar-
tiers, In its anxiety to find fault with the
Administration, thinks the action of the
Government in the Behring Sea matter
was ill advised, and that the proclamation
of the President was hasty. Bosh The
President simply did what Congress COM
manded, and in that body the question
never assumed political phase. If we
get into any trouble over the closed sea
question, it will be because Mr.. Bayard
committed the United States Government
to what is by some nations construed into
an admission that Behring Sea is open
water. For Mr.. Secretary Bayard did in
vite the European Powers and the Do
minion authorities to cooperate with US
in preventing the destruction of the seals
in those waters. There was no necessity
for making such a request, since the
American Government is equal to the task
of afording the lawful fishers in that sea
ample protection, and that means the pre-
vention of the determination of the seals.

The Simple Way That Won Large

From the Rochester Post Express.
If most people afraid of anything it is
of being buried alive. That cases do happen
where it is very difficult even for the most ex-
perienced physician to determine whether a
person is really or only apparently dead with
out having recourse to means which, while
they would at once settle the dispute, would
place life, if it really still existed, in jeopardy,
may be judged from the fact that the French
Academy of Sciences ten or fifteen years ago
offered a prize of 10000 francs for the dis
covery of some means by which even the mex
perienced might at once determine whether in
q given case death had ensued or not. 4 ply

THE MORMON OATH.
Can One Who Takes 1t Become a Citi-
zen of the United States.

The New York Times Salt Lake City special
says that several Mormons have lately applied
for citizenship and objection has been raised
on the ground that Mormons who pass through
the endowment house are obliged to take oaths
such as unfit them for citizenship. The court
is taking testimony on this point, and several
apostate Mormons have made under oath ter
rible accusations against the church. They
say that persons admitted through the endow-
ment house swear to obey the priesthood above
all other powers on earth ard to aim at the
destruction of the United States government
The penalty of violating or divulging oaths is
to have the bowels cut out and the throat and
tongue cut and several witnesses swore that
they had seen this done. They also testified
that the church instigated the Mountain

The Delegates to the Marine Conference
Entertained at Dinner.

The dinner given by Mr.. VIM. W. Goodrich
to the delegates to the international maritime
conference at the Shoreham last night was a
| notable event. There was every surrounding
that might conduce to snccess-a genial, cour-
teous, generous host perfect service, a series
of after-iinner speeches, the equal of which is
seldom heard. and afterward an atmosphere Of
extreme sociability that caused the wheels of
the international machine to run with the
greatest smootbness. The table was
set in the large north dining hail.
The long table was handsomely decorated
with profusion OF La France roses heaped

Secretary Blaine said that he wanted to as

glad of a chance to meet and to know them.
Peace was another characteristic of the Amori-
