The Devastating Course Of the
Arab Slave Hunter.
TIPPU TIP AND HIS WORK.
Let Loose the Dogs Of War-oniy by
Force Of Arms Can the Brutal Jraffic
be Suppressed and Civilization Made
Possible.

The slave trade, with all the iniqui-
tous conditions attending il, is all the
time rapidly increasing in Central
Africa. The Arab slave hunter after
gaining wealth does not retire On the
contrary, with the profit of each new
venture he buys more guns and ammu-
milton and hires fresh bands of pillag-
ing followers so that he may enlarge
the sphere of his murderous exploits
Veritable armies of Zanzibaris and
Mangemas, officered by Arabs, are con-
stantly engaged in the capture of the
natives and the robbery of their ivory.
The villagers of the interior, dreading
always visit from some horde of raid
ers, hide away their elephant tusks in
the jungles and the swamps.
The slavers have several strongholds
In Central Africa, the principal Of them
being Tabora, Karema, Kasongo, N.Y.
angwc Ujiji and Stanley Falls. Large
hordes Of hired robbers branch out in
all directions from these depots and
swarm over the whole land. Their plan
of action is TO stealthily surround viii
lage by night; then at early dawn a few
muskets are fired to intimidate the viii
layers. Bewildered at the rude awaken

ANNEXATION OF HAWAII.
Islands Will Become an Integral
Portion of United States.
The LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT.
Secretary Fosters Views In Conn ction
With the Treaty--A Canvass of the
Senate Indicates That the Treaty win
be Eatified-The President Criticised.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-There will be
some sharp criticism OF the President for
having sent a treaty OF annexation to the
Senate before the immediate representa-
tives OF the deposed Queen arrived lin
Washington to state their case. Those
criticisms are already heard. The COM
missioners of the ex Queen are not due
here until this afternoon.
But from the careful reading Of the
document and correspondence II seems
certain that President Harrison Is right in
the assumption that the restoration OF
the Queen to her throne Is impracticable
and impossible. Ample provision has
been made for her dignity and comfort
by the authority OF $40, 900, subject only
to the condition that she shall recognize
the annuity OF the United States. Ade-
yuate provision Is also made for the
Princess heir-apparent by the payment
to her OF a given sum of sl6o,OOo on like
conditions.
IL the Senate shall approve the treaty,
the Hawaiian islands will become as in
tegral portion of the United States as
are the original thirteen states. Yet
many OF the most difficult points as to the
permanent form of government, the set
tlement OF the inevitable conflict between
the races, the control of suffrage, and
matter relating TO the revenue, are, OF
necessity, to be left to the incoming ad-
ministration.
One of the most troublesome problems,
so far as opposition from the United
States Is concerned, is the disposition OF
the sugar bounty question. BY the terms
OF the treaty the representatives OF the
cane and beet root sugar interests OF the
United States, are not, for the present, to
be disturbed.
The proposed treaty of annexation is so
drafted that no United States sugar in
terest is jeopardized for probably two
crops; the representatives OF this indus
try therefore will not be compelled by
the treaty to do anything that would not
be necessary for them To do to meet the
opposition of n party and Congress
ayowedly hostile to them.

through, and by keeping careful looh-
out for the Arabs advance they can
avoid him by fight down stream.
The cunning Arabs purposely keep
the native tribes at enmity among them
selves by employing some as allies
against neighboring settlement. In
the cannibal regions the payment for
such service is meat" or, TO be more
explicit, the dead bodies Of those cruel
ly slain in the raids. These Arabs en-
courage the most brutal and barbarous
customs among the interior tribes.
Ceremonies involving human sacrifice
and cannibal orgies create demand for
slaves, which the Arab will supply
when the payment is ivory.
The Arab slavers are not merely q
few brigand tribes scattered over the
land, but a powerful, we'll organized
system occupying the heart of Africa.
From the numerous slave depots large
bands of hired robbers are constantly
going and coming-starting out with
their muske.s and fed loads Of ammu-
milton and returning with slaves and
ivory obtained 10y theft and murder.
The ivory eventually reaches Zanzi-
bar. on the east coast When a goodly
pile has been collected" at one of the
strongholds a caravan of slave gangs

bloodstained history of Africa mark

Those tiny trails penned on the chart
marking the Journeys Of those brave
souls who have heroically faced the
dangers of that savage land are being
worn TO broad roads By whole armies
who are gradually closing in on the
Arab plunderers. Only a few years
must now elapse before the two cross
swords, and with but one possible re-
suit. The Arabs, cut of from their
coast supplies of ammunition and
barred from northern support, will be
crushed by the well armed forces Of
civilization and regiments Of resoluts

African politics; there was merely the
utter helplessness of the poor down
trodden creatures to appeal TO the
philanthropic spirit of the civilized
world.
But now that the European nations
have planted their flags throughout the
land they are bound 10 make them re-
spected by protecting the native tribes
from the lawless bands of Arabs who
are constantly prosecuting them.
The Arab SLAYER powerfully equipped
in Central Africa will contest any in
reference by the white man; he will
till compelled by force. The keys
which he holds to a rich source of
treasure in Central Africa cannot
be wrested from him without a fierce
struggle.
The Arab SLAYER will not tolerate
legitimate traffic. When the Belgian
expedition composed OF Mr. Hodester
and party commenced TO establish trad
ing posts on the upper waters of the
Congo they were treacherously mur-
dered to a man.

grave fears arc entertained that the
white men have ere this shared the fate
OF poor Hodester and his friends.
The suppression of slavery is giant
undertaking, but stern measures for it's
accomplishment are being carried out
with grand delibcration. The Congo

themselves admit that two-thirds who
start with such caravan never reach
their destination. Weakened already
by hunger and i'll treatment. many sue
cumb to the hardships Of the two-thou-
sand-mile journey; men and women
stagger along till they fall from sheer
exhaustion. Many of the women have
babies besides their load of ivory. and il
they show signs Of tagging behind the
child is snatched from them and left TO
perish on the wayside so that the pre-
cious tusk may still be borne along.
Often slave, showing signs of break
ing down, is killed by savage blow on
the neck with club His body is then
cut away from the slave fork, n new
man takes his load, and the caravan
continues its journey.
1t is a wonder than any Of these car
riers reach their destination. Given
enough food only to keep life fickering
in their emaciated bodies, covered with
fostering sores from the chafing fork
and chain, goaded by the cruel lash
from morning till night, they are driven
along the trail suffering all the indig-
mites and prosecutions which the dew
ilish minds of their vicious masters can
invent and carry out.
All explorers who have penetrated
Central Africa have found everywhere
the same pitiful conditions.
The occupation of Central Africa by
the European powers must inevitably
hasten the solution of the giant prob
lem: How to suppress slavery" The
Germans, British, French, Congo Free
State and Portuguese have portioned

to indicate that the Hawaiian treaty
will be ratified, with several votes more
than the necessary two-thirds to spare.
foreign affairs committee have sounded
the temper of the Senate and find that
this conclusion is warranted. The limit
of the opposition is put at 20 votes,
while other senators more sanguine be-
lieve that those opposed to the treaty can
not muster even that number. Ii Is said
by some Republicans in some quarters
that the opposition is due not to the treaty
itself so much IA a desire on the part OF
some Democrats to postpone action until
the new administration shall have been
inaugurated.
