WHITE SLAVES.
Efforts Making to Stop the Cursed
Traffic In Russia.


Traffic In Russia.
ST. Petersburg Cor. New York
Times: In view of the International
Congress to be held in London at the
end Of the present month for the dis
cussion of the best measure to be taken
for the prevention OF the white slave
traffic, the Novosti has lately been
publishing detailed accounts of the
manner in which this business is car
rled on in Russia. The trade has de-
veioped to a great extent in the past
few years throughout Western Europe,
but the town of Jassy is its center.
The women are bought, particularly at
Lelpslc, during the great annual fair,
but it is the capital of Moldavia, which
Is the central point of the traffic, just
as khartoum was formerly the mar
ket place for the human merchandise
imported from Abyssinia and Central
Africa. From Jassy the merchandise
is directed to Russia and Turkey. Next
to Jassy, Brussels has become the most
important center for this business.
The white slaves destined for Russia
are generally sent to Riga or to Wilma,
where the wholesale merchants from
st. Petersburg and Moscow meet to
make their selections. These they
transfer at once to the principal cities
OF the empire and to the remote prov
lnces of Siberia. There was recently
arrested in Odessa an agent of the
principal Russian white slave mer-
chants, and at his residence a volumi-
nous correspondence, with sub-agents
at Jassy, Brussels, Riga and elsewhere,
was found. Thanks to this edifying
correspondence, the Russian police as
certalned that white slave agencies ex-
lst throughout Russia, in rural dis
trlcts as we'll as in the principal cities
and towns. In some of these letters
the sub-agents mentioned that they
had exceptionally fine merchandise al
a relatively low price, five parcels (sic)
in ALL" Then there followed detailed
description of the goods. The Odessa
agent in question has been exiIcd tc
Siberia, where he will spend the mex!
ten years. From what l hear, the Rus.
sian government considers the white
slave traffic as an international curse
which can only be successfully eradi
Gated by the united efforts of all civil.
lied nations. 1t is well known that the
czarina is herself deeply interested ii
this matter.
