SLAVES IN GREAT DEMAND.
Tho Trade In African Humanity Still Con-
tinues Brisk.

MARsEILLEs, Sept. 29.-According to
advices from Alden, the slave trade in
Africa continues on large scale. Owing
to the demand for slaves and tho high
prices offered for them, slave caravans
are arriving ON the east coast daily. The
caravans find no difficulty in travelling
through Vitu.
The slaves are embarked at points in
the vicinity of Zsylab, Massowah, Dji b.
ontil and Suakim. In exchange for the
slaves the traders accept nothing but
modern firearms and ammunition. The
mortality among the slaves while en-
route to the coast from the interior, is 20
per cent.

CLEVELAND AND HIS CABINET.
Comments on the Situation by the Wash
ington Star.


Comments ON the Situation by the WASH
ington Star.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. - The Star
says:
politicians here do not believe that
Mr. Murphy can be defeated, and they
believe that Mr.. Cleveland appreciates
the fact. AT present Mr.. Cleveland has
no representative in the senate who is
long experienced and in position to
act as the leader. Should he succeed in
the election of personal friend in New
York it would not improve the situa.
ton greatly, as no new man, however
capable, can figure very prominently in
that body.
"Mr. Cleveland will, however, have a
strong personal friend in the senate by
the time the Fifty-third congress wiz
be organized unless all present plans
miscarry. This will be Mr.. Bayard, OF
Delaware, in all probability. 1t is ex-
pected that Senator Gray will go into
the cabinet though he is at present dis
inclined to do so. His retirement from
the senate will mean the election Of Mr..
Bayard. /.
sit is reported that the question Of
Mr.. Dickinson going into the cabinet
has been settled and that he Will be Sec
rotary of state. The slate thus far
made up is said to be Dickinson, secre-
tary of state; Carlisle, secretary of the
treasury; Gray Of Delaware, attorney
general; Lamont, secretary of the navy;
and Morrison, secretary of the interior.

FOR COLD MURDER.
A Holiday Hanging in Boone
County, Arkansas.
AL J. Hudspeth, Twice Convicted of
Murder, Pays the Penalty
To-Day for His Crime.

Special TO the Leaf-Chronicie.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 30.--Al
J. Hudspeth, twice convicted Of
murder in the first degree, IL under
sentence to hang in Boone county to-
day. The case is one of the most
celebrated in the criminal history OF
Arkansas. Hudspeth was first COM
victed in october 10, 1890, and last
10 July, 1892. George Watkins, his
victim lived near MELVILLE, Marion
county, Ark, and with him and his
wife, lived Hudspeth. The two
men went to Wellville one
night in a wagon and on the follow
ing day Hudspeth returned alone.
Since that time, July 1887, Watkins
has never been been or heard of nor
beyond traces of blood in the wagon
and bloody Ratchet found in the
wagon bed, were the only evidences
OF foul play other than the strange
disappearance of Watkins. The
strongest evidence was given by.

from the epidemic. The mob invaded
the Russian quarters, killed the deputy

Reporters Experience.

reporter, went to the residence of
Louisville and Nashville Attorney Mar
tin to investigate case in which the
attorneys two daughters, Maude and
Josie, were said to have figured. When
the young ladies found that they were
about to be written up" they made an
excuse to leave the room, and a mo
ment later had locked the door and
barred the windows, leaving Graham
prisoner. He was kept there all night,
and after the paper had gone to press
he was released. He beat on the doors
all night long, but couldn't escape.
The original clew was a canard, but
Graham got a sensation anyhow.
