AFRICAN SLAUGHTER
Suppression Of the Slave Trade
Has Fearful Effect.
OVER 1000 oApTIvEs SACRIFICED.

Warfare in the Dark Continent
More Merciless and Terrible Than
Ever Before - Starving Russians
Regularly Taxcd-No Use for Pessi-
mists-Other Foreign Items.
LONDON, July IA letter just re-
ceived from Sierra Leone says that the
vigilant suppression Of the slave trade
along the coast, and the consequent in
ability of the races to dispose Of their
captives at a profit, has caused revival
in the most terrible form Of scenes of
slaughter and bloodshed which formerly
made every chief town of the interior q
Golgotha. Coomassie, 1t is said, has
again witnessed the killing Of as many
as two hundred victims in one day, and
the death drum is heard in the street
even more frequently than before the
British Ashantee expedition, when it was
hoped such scenes were put to an end
Forever.
The savage Wangarus recently made
raid into Dagomba, completely devas-
tating the villages and carrying off over
two thousand captives. They were un-
able to get rid Of the prisoners as slaves,
and held sacrificial Feast which lasted
for three days, in which every captive
persisted, not even children being spared.
It is universally admitted in the settle
ments that approaching extinction Of
the slave trade in western Africa is
making warfare more merciless than it
used to be.

WASHINGTON, July Hugh Cavan-
augh, of Cincinnati, and John Devlin,
of the executive board Of the knights Of
Labor, had conference with Secretary
Foster yesterday afternoon about the
reappointment Of the seven plate print
ers recently removed by Colonel Mere
dith, chief of tho bureau of engraving
and printing. Arrangements were pro-
crossing for the settlement Of all differ
ences when delegation representing
the Federation Of Labor, rival order,
called at the treasury department and
asked for hearing before any agree
ment was made with the Knights.
The Federation representatives at once
objected strenuously to any concession
being made to the Knights which would
put their men ahead of members of the
Federation already on the "chance"
list of the bureau and awaiting employ
ment.
This new complication Of the case

LONDON, July 1.-The Telegraph's St.
Petersburg correspondent declares the
harvest in Russia this year is likely to
be the worst on record. He draws a
narrowing picture Of tho results of the
continued drought. prices of cereals, I"
he says, "are rising hourly. Rice has
never before been so dear. Throughout
central and western and the greatest
part of southern Russia the outlook is
dismal. Ministerial reports say that the
winter crop in south and east Russia
persisted by frosts. Famine is already
visible in the faces of the peasantry Of
Kostroma. Disease has already broken
out. The only food is oatmeal mixed
with tree bark or similar ingredients.
I'm Kazon among indigents receiving
meals gratis are 1l6 noblemen and 76
priests. In other districts similar con-
litions are reported. In the Jewish
colony at Rovonopel many people are
dying of hunger, and hundreds have to
huddle together, several families in one
room, for the sake of warmth. Some
papers contain advertisements of chill
dren for sale. The government is taking
precautions against expected revolts
Taxes are collected with the usual reg
ularity, and failure to pay is visited
with severe hogging."

LONDON, July 1.-Acccrding to Ber-
lin dispatch several cases OF death from
absolute want among the poorer classes
have been covered up by the authorities
as being entirely attributable to disease
There is a systematic effort on the part
of the authorities, from the depsrtments
of state down to the lowest municipal
officials, to minimize the misery that pre-
walls owing to the high price of bread.
The police have been known to rebnlye
persons on the street who were heard
talking about the corn duties in tone
of disaffection, and they give fiat de-
nial on every possible occasion to the re-
ports of destitution. The truth, says
the United Press correspondent, is that
nearly every wage earning family keenly
feels the situation, and the kaiser is los
ing on account of it much of the pop
ularity which he earned by the advocacy
OF labor reform. The socialists are tax
ing advantage of the general discomfort
to SOW their doctrines broadcast and ex-
pect to reap the result at the next election

the police, are yigilant for signs of riot.

PITTsBURG, July 1.-The Mononga-
hala presbytery of the United Presby-
terian church met at Williamsburg yes
terday and received into their commun-
ion the Reformed Presbyterian congre-
cations of East Liberty end Wilkins
burg. The presbytery also removed the
sentence of suspension pronounced upon
Revs. o. B. and L. M. Milligan, and re-
stored the license of Mr.. j. A. Burnet.
Rev. DR.. McAllister and Professor Will
son, representing the Reformed Presby-
terian synod, were present and pro-
tested against the action of the United
presbytery in entertaining the applica-
tion from the east end seeeders, unless
they should at first renounce all claim
to the church property. The protests
produced no visible effect beyond giving
some Of the spectators an opportunity to
vigorously hiss DR.. McAllister. The
settlement of the property question will
probably be left to the civil courts.

CoNsHoHocKEN, Pa, July 1. - For
some time past pair of American
women of ill-repute have been making
their home with number of Italian
quarrymen occupying tumble down
shanty at Connaughttown, suburb of
this borough. Their conduct was dis
graceful, and their nightly orgies blot
on the fair name Of Connaughttown. A
party of about two hundred residents Of
the suburb marched on the italian home
in body, driving the occupants out.
Before they could induce the objection
able characters to depart they battered
in the doors and windows of the house,
and were in fair way to wreck the
building. The Italians were greatly
outnumbered and fed for their own
safety. They have returned, and swear
vengeance.

a spicy case on trial here, owing to the
refusal of Farmer Hartung to pay Dr.
Dorney, of Easton, small bill for SER

ulating by Course OF Law.
New ALBANY, Ind. July There
was no her brutal whipping by White
Caps in Crawford county, in which q
young woman of 10 years Of age was
one Of the victims. William Mcclure
and his 1s-year-old step-daughter live
near Leavenworth, the county seat Of
Crawford county. They were suspected
Of living together, but there was no
proof of tlis charge.
On Sunday night near morning,
twenty masked white caps, all armed
with revolvers, went to the Mcclure
residence, broke down the door, and
seizing McGuire and the stepdaughter
they dragged them to the woods and
tied them to trees. Then the clothing
Of both victims was lowered to the hips,
and the cruel work Of switching them
on the bare backs was commenced. The
young woman shrieked for mercy at
every blow, but her appeals were in
vain until she sank fainting from pain.
She received over fifty lashes, and her
shoulders and back were frightfully
lacerated. Mcclure received about
seventy-five lashes, he also fainting
under the punishment. After the whip
ping the White Caps notified their
victims that IL they were found In the
county twenty days later they would be
hung up by the necks.
This Infamous whipping Of helpless,
defenceless girl has created the most
intense excitement at Leavenworth, and
in the neighborhood Of that town, and
is denounced with great bitterness. The
victims will be confined to their beds
for two or three weeks. The charge
against the girl is doubtless false,
though McGuiro is worthless fellow.
