innovations are to follow the introduce

the picturesque red huSsar and other
gaily dressed regiments will have to

Measures Taken by the Congo State to Put
Stop to the Internal Tranac.
BRUSSELS, Jan. 23-A long report has
been received from Capt Van Gele. who has
Just established two stations of the Congo
State far up the Mobangi affluent OF the Congo
The station nearest the great river is about 500
miles distant from It. The slave trade is par
ticularly lively along the MobanGi. and Capt.
Van Gele is following out the .policy which
tne congo state fs now pursuing at all it's
stations OF putting n stop to the trafnc.
Some OF the Mnndongo tribe who attempted
to pass one OF Van Gele's stations with a big
canoe load OF slaves which they intended to
sell further down the river were stopped. and
the slaves were taken from them and set at
liberty. Five canoe loads OF slaves were also
brought UP the river, the poor creatures having
been bought with ivory. Van Gele gave chase
and captured two OF the piroQues. but the
others escaped. He gave the slaves their
freedom. and while after released the boats.
threatening their owners with dire penalties II
possession.
The Congo State is constantly increasing its
facilities for suppressinR the murderous traffic.
large proportion Of the slaves are bought or
captured for purposes OF cutting or for human
sacrihces and the stand the State has taken
bids fair In time to prevent an enormous
amount OF suffering and waste OF life.
