SLAVERY Is ABOLISHED
In tho Realms of tho Sultan Of Zanzibar by
His Decree.

Zanzibar, April 5.-The sultan Of Fan
zibar has issued a decree abolishing slav-
cry. 1t provides that the existing rights
over Concubines shall remain as before
unless her freedom is claimed by a con-
lcubine on account, of cruelty. But in gen.
eral terms the concubine will be regarded
as wives. The government will pay COM
pensation for all slaves legally held. II
Zanzibar is unable to meet the full ex-
pense, II Is believed that the imperial
government viii assist.
The sultan explained the decree to the
leading Arabs before issuing it, on the
theory that the compensa ton and harem
clauses would reconcile them to the meas
ure.
No resistance is expected, as the Arabs
have been completely cowed by the re-
cent bombardment. It Is feared, how
ever, that the revenues will suffer.

LA LUCIA Is NO FOOL

Cuba Remain Facts.

Havana, April 6.-La Lucia insists edi-
torially today that the disagreemerts be-
tween the insurgent commanders and the
revolutionary junta at New York have no
specia. sign Of significance at present, as
the two sectors have by no means been
always in accord. The paper adds:
go far as the state of war is concern
ed, there Is no improvement, but the gov
eminent must not rely upon the chagrin
Of Its enemies. We are neither optimistic
or pessimistic. but we believe sincerely
that affairs are not going in the direction
many people, believe and hope. The stu
alton cannot be regarded as much improv-
ed, nor are the people getting tired of the
life of insurgerts.''

Sugar Played a Prominent Part.

New York, July 17.-Dealings on the
stock exchange were in fairly large
volume today and the market was strong
as whole. Liquidation in sugar worked
sympathetic reaction in the market for
d short time, but the advantage was
resumed before the close on buying to
cover and the last prices in many cases
were the best. Sugar was sold pretty
steadily all day, though not under severe
pressure and not on violent fluctuations.
The coal stocks continued to show
strength under the rumors of alliance
with other lines. New Jersey Central
gained point and closed at 81. Tobacco
was keenly affected by the reactionary
tendency and together with sugar closed
with net loss Of a large fraction. Lake
Erie and Western preferred also closed
a point lower. Gains of point or over
were shown by Brooklyn Transit, st.
Paul, starch, second preferred, Oregon
navigation, whiskey preferred and rub
Der preferred. The railroad bond market
was very active and also strong sharp
gains being shown by some of the
speculative issues.

leave the track when running over sup
port just as easily as If the supports were
placed side by side, but tn is is not So
The moment wheel riding over sup
port would fly straight out and leave the
cable, the wheels on the other side and
below would be pressed up as if it were
starting to go up an incline and this
would act as a counterbalance to the I'M
ruly Wheel and promptly bring it back
on the cable. So far as leaving the track
is concerned, the only thing which really
must be taken into consideration is the
inertia of the wheels and arms which
are all light in weight The main bulk
of the carriage has no tendency whatever
to leave the track. Consequently, even if
there should be, of which there is no
danger, such an accident as the jumping
of q wheel, and then a settling down on
he cable, the occurrence would really not
be noticed by the passengers.
On the other hand, if both wheels and
all the rest c f the carriage had to follow
case with inventions which have preceded
mine the speed would need to be very
slight because the whole system would be
subjected to undue sudden strain, sway
ing up and down of the cables, etc. Un-
der my method there are no such evils to
speedway is the legitimate successor of
the elevated railroad. The elevated
roads are costly to construct, bulky and
expensive to run. The aerial cable speed
way is nothing of the kind. 1t has all
the advantages Of the elevated with none
streets, it would do away with the nuts.
ance of the steam engine.
1t seems to me that before trying in
airships to soar in the unlimited space
above the world, it would be better SO
successfully follow a fixed path through
the air by method such as have patent
ed. There is as much difference between
my plan and the chimerical methods of
aerial navigation heretofore tried, as there
is between travelling on the ocean and
journeying along canal. | have investi-
gated the subject so carefully that know
my railway could be built at cost SO
slight as to seem almost ridiculous.
For instance, it would be quite within
the means of the farmer to have line
from his farm to the nearest railway
station on which he could transport him
self, his friends, and such freight as
might come to him. The business man
could so arrange it that he could start
from a balcony attached to his home in
the morning into an aerial carriage, turn
lever, and speed away to his office,
travelling quickly and safely above the
dust and turmoil of the street, and inter
fering with no one. AS basis for opera
lions in railroad building, it seems to me
nothing could be better.
To sum it all up, my invention is
railroad in the air which will carry pas
sengers at least a mile minute. 1t is
railroad that, being operated by cleo
tricity, will make no noise and create no
confusion Its road bed is simple, safe
and strong. do not think I am claim
ing too much to say that it is the railroad
of the future.

Minister Woodford Will Demand Indem
nifty for Ruiz.

utby LOT xtulzs
Washington, July 17.-This government
has directed United States Minister
Woodwork to formally present to the
Spanish government and press the claim
of the family of the late DR.. Ruiz for in
demnity in SIS, 900 on account of his death
in jail in Cuba. Mr. Woodwords instruc-
lions just completed, set out the reason
for the presentation of the claim in de-
tail. They show that this government,
animated solely by the love of truth and
right, and spirit of justice, after mature
consideration of the substantial uncon-
troverted facts IN the case. has reached
the conclusion that under the treaty of
1895 and the protocol Of 1877 between the
United States and Spain and the law of
1921 made part of the protocol, all of the
proceedings against Ruiz after his arrest
and the notice given to the Cuban author.
