TRADE IN SLAVES.
L. F. Fischer Says That 1t
Is Dying.
A Nephew of John Resented From
Zanzibar Tells of German
Colonial Work.

L. F. Fischer. nephew of John Rosen-
field of this city, registered at the Lick
yesterday from Zanzibar. Mr.. Fischer
has spent four years in the German East
African territory, where he was connected
with one OF the large trading companies.
He comes here to regain his health and
may make his residence in this city.
In speaking of affairs in the German
territory Mr.. Fischer said: 1.-The Ger
mans are not such successful colonists as
the English. They have not yet Learned
the art of colonizing. They send out
soldiers. but not enough to thoroughly
guard tue country. There are few colon
lists who have engaged in the growing of
cotton, vanilla, coffee aud tobacco on the
Zanzibar coast. Cotton and coffee grow
very well there, but the great trouble is
the labor. The natives will not work,
and theirs are many old residents of
Africa who believe slavery is not the
altogether unmixed evil which people at
home regard il. however this may be
the German colonial government is very
strict in regard to slavery. Slaver5 are
punished with death. ana only a shOr,
time before l left eight siave-drivers were
hanged.
1.-The slave-drivers are for the most part
half-caste Arabs. with some East INDIANS
and Soubalis. The slaves are sent in
dhows to the Arabian coast. Not long ago
$500 slaves were brought down TO the
coast"
Mr.. Fischer added that the slave trade
had greatly decreased, as the watchfuIneSS
of the German officials mode il u very dan
gerous occupation. TippoO lib. he de-
clared, had 1000 slaves. Not long ago he
requested permission to bring some of
them from the interior as personal attend
ants. Permission was granted, but after
ward revoked, but the decree of revocation
came too late. and Tippoo lib had sue
ceeded in shipping of his slaves before
the order OF revocation had been received.
The road to Nyasss, Mr.. Fischer said, was
open and in good condition and the oar ger
from native attacks along the great high
ways of travel was slight. Of these thor
oughfares it was not safe for white man
to stray.
Mr.. Fischer stated that Major Weis IN az.
the German explorer. would visit San
Francisco early next year, coming by way
of Bombay, HOng-Eong and Yokohama.

EXPENSIVE SPORT.
The Cost of Keeping a Pack of Hounds

A few years ago the usual estimate for main
tanning a thoroughly irst-elass pack OF hunting
dogs in England was $500 forsevery day
hunted; then il went up TO $4,000, and now IL
viii average very close to $780, making an
entire cost of $4,000 for one weeks chase of
the red animal, while In the "shIres" it will
fall bur very little short Of Sic 900. If, indeed,
it Will not IN some instances run higher.

ANOTHER SUCCESS
Second Symphony Concert
by SCheel.
A Grand Interpretation of the French
Revolution-Looking Forward
to October 5.

The audience which attended Scheeps
second symphony concert at the Auditor
ium on Eddy street last night went home
wishing for more of the excellent music
just heard
The gifted conductor has become less
pr0digal with his encores than he was last
season. and the consequence is that every
one stays till The end OF the last number
on the programme. and then goes home
with a sort of ''to- be- contIn ued- incur
next" feeling, when he thinks of the next
symphony concert on October 3.
The orchestra fully sustained its reputa-
ton yesterday evening. Haydn's SYM
pho1y No. IL in u major WAS delicateiy
and beautifully rendered. and Bee
thoven's "EgmOnr overture was most
wOrthily interpreted. The second
with Littolf's sensational ''Robespierre"
overture. which received a highly
dramatic rendering. The audience almost
heard the tumult of the French Revolution,
the tumbrils rolling to the gullOtine. the
shrieks of the mob and the mad, nOeking
songs which cOntrasted with the martial
majestic swing of the "Marsellaise." This
realistic number received a great ovation.
Saint-Saens' weird "Danse Macabre"
was another descriptive IMPOSITION
that was brilliantly interpreted. An an
Holdttu program me was scarcely aeceS-
sarv in order TO picture the chattering,
jabbering phantoms that dance the dance
of death till the rooster crows and the
bell tolls ''one," when they fee away into
the vibrating distance. The violins man
aged this diminuendo effect al the end of the
work very skillfully. in fact they did ex-
cellent service all through the "Danse
Macabre."
Wagner's "Dreams From Live Poems"
was interpreted with great taste and feel
ing BY COncert-master John MaTquardt.
DE never showed himself in more SYM
pathetic vein than in this graceful compo-
stion. 1t goes without saying that Herr
Scheel watched his solost almost affec-
tIOnateiy and succeeded iD making the or
chestra realize most perfectly Herr Mar
Quardrs intentions.
The concert closed with Svendsen's
"Carneval Paris"
The third symphony concert takes
place on Friday, October 5. Tonight
there Will be the usual popular concert.

out on the east side of Commercial street
at o'clock this morning. and before it
was under control number of buildings,
hotels and stores were completely de-
stroyed. two lives lost and three persons
badly injured. The fire started in the
Royal Hotel at the corner Of Wharf and

northerly direction along Wharf street
destroying a frame fire hall and caTpen-
ter's workshop. Running south the fire
licked up the barber-shop adjoining the

rant. Morgan's tailor = shop and c. Z.
Stevenson's dry-goods store. Ac ross the
street. Oh the west side. the Williams
block (frame) caught fire, but the flames
were extinguished before much damage
was done there. The Central Hotel. Ma.
s0ric building and HirsJ Bros store also
caught IRE, but were saved.
The cause Of the fire and the amount of
damage done has not been ascertaned
yet Pat Mayce, bootblack, aud Fritz,
German bartender, occupants of the Royal
Hotel, we're burned to death, and two
other men and little girl. also occupants
of the Royal hotel, were badly injured in
making their escape.
\ rough estimate Of the amount OF in
surance is about 100000. Every man,
woman and child in the city turned out to
help in the work of salvage. That the
newer part Of the town was not completely
wiped out was due to the strenuous efforts
of the volunteer brigade and that there
was no wind.
