LONDON, Aug. 14.-Horrible accounts are
received of the slave labor traffic by BrIt'
ish planters In the South seas. The Presby-
terian mission synod in the New Hebrides
has passed a resolution to the effect that
the Kanaka labor traffic had, to large
extent. depopuIated the New Hebrides and
adjoining islands, upset family relations
among the natives. and has been and is the
cause of much sorrow, suffering and blood
shed" Amlssionary named Patton reports
that he has himself seen white men In their
boats taking Kanakas to labor vessels-as
the slave ships are called-forcibly lifting
them on board. and when they tried to
swim ashore they were knocked down
again and again, until they lay stupefied
on deck, and were thus carried out to sea.
Those thought likely to escape are fastened
with chains on board. A chief was shot
dead by the crew of one of these vessels
while attempting to protect his daughter,
and native Christian teacher was also
shot dead. This slave trade Is carried on
under the protection of the British flag for
the benefit of planters in Queensland and

Death of q Michigan Doctor.
BERLIN. Aug. II. = The death of DE-.
Stephenson, of Adrian. Mich, who was
member of the Medical Congress in Berlin,
has created profound sensation in the
American colony and in medical circles. by
reason of the peculiar circumstances which
attended it. On the evening before his
death he was in excellent health and
spirits and met several of his medical col
leagues, with whom he played a game of
poker. The next day he was found dead
in his room. The peculiar circumstances
of his death and the rumor that he had
lost $1,000 in the game the night before
aroused the suspicion of the authorities
that he had committed suicide by taking a
dose of morphine. The police took charge
of the body and ordered an investigation.
post-mortem was held to-day, and the
official verdict was that DR.. Stephenson
had died from heart failure. superinduced
by morphine. Ii was not thought that the
morphine was taken with suicidal intent.
Tie result of the post-mortem does not,
however. allay the sensational rumors that
are in circulation.
