PARIS. July 2T.-Slavery Is not supposed 10

little while the institution Is found to be flour
ishinG In some out OF the way part OF the

sent to the southern part OF tho country for
scientific exploration, reports that he found in
the oasis OF Ell Golea large number OF negro
families. who live there in slavery in tho ut
most misery. In spite OF the inccssant efforts
OF the military authorities slaves are still hold

have thus far not found 1t difficult to avoid

no time in boldly demanding them. II the

II tho slave Is n man the Arab endeavors to
show that he has supported the rorsun for

The remedies which MIR Dybowski proposes
for the present stnte OF things are. first tt eX-
