Efforts Making to Stop the Gurses
 TrafHc in Russia.
 St. Petersburg Cor, New York Times: In view of the International Congl ess to be held in London at the end ot the present month for the dis eussion of the best measure to be taken for the prevention of the white slave" traffic, the Noyosti has lately been publishing detailed accounts of the manner in which this business is car ried on in Russia The trade has de- Veloped to great extent in the past few years throughout Western Europe, but the town Of Jassy is it's center. The women are bought, particularly at Leipsic, during the great annual fair. put It is the capital of MoldaYia, which $ the central point of the traffic, jus. as hhartoum was formerly the mar ket plaee 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- ist throughout Russia. in rural dis trlcts as we'll as in the. principal cities ana towns. In some of these letters the sub-agents mentioned that they mad exceptionally fine merchandise at relatively low price, five parcels (sie) in all" Then there followed detailed description of the goods. The Odessa agent m question has been exiled to Siberia, where he will spend the next ten years. From what I hear. the Rus sian government considers the white slave traffic as an international curse, Which can only be successfully eradi- cated by the united efforts of all civil fzed nations. It is we'll known that the czarina is herself deeply interested in this matter.

No. 2O6 Main Street.
First m HraloIos.

James l. Corkhill of company E. Kansas Both regiment, writes to tine Alam (Kas.) Enterprise this account of how 1t happened that the fiag of the 20th Kansas was the first to float over Maleles, the insurgent capital:
 We were halted in the shade just outside the city when Col. Is.nston came ga:loping down the line and told our commander that the general want- ed a few men to advance ahead of the lines to reconnoiter. Lieut.. Ball and sixteen men from company E were chosen, your correspondent happening to be one of the lucky number. We cautiously advanced into the outskirts Of the town and wended our way up Main street (although we didn't then know it was Main street), keeping as much as possible under cover Of the bamboo shacks. We soon discovered that the negroes had breastworks thrown across the street and in front of the large Catholic church. Almost at the same time they saw us and a yo1ley of Mausers flew over our heads.
 
 the general wanted to know but after he he'd a A9tle confab wiln IA~-. Ball they decided on a closer acquaintance with OUT dusky friends. It's little risky, but I think we can do It, said Col. Funston. Come on, boys, let's get them out of there
 "So away we went, up the street Nike a whdrlwind, yelling and shooting and making racket enough to scare whole army. Little Col. Funston. with his revolver in one hand, was waving his hat in the other and yelling: Give it to them, boys! Give it to them!' I guess Che negroes thought that hia satanic majesty was indeed after them or that tho whole American army was upon them, for, after firing couple of yolleys at us, they turned and ran as I never saw any one run before. On through the public square we chased them and clear to the other side of the town.
 Thus it was that sixteen Kansas boys, led by our brave colonel and a daring second lieutenant, drove the in- surgents out of their capital city.
 An hour later, when we returned, we fot;nd that the army had poured in and filed the town and our regiment was sitting in the shade of Aguinaldo's doorstep. Refore leaving the fnsur- gents 4a..a P .cceeded in setting Ire to the large church, which was now In flames Many of the Chinese remained in the town, and when our little squad dashed into the public square it was amusing to zee the 'Chenomen' crawl ing out of windows and cellars and from under bridges. each carrying Httle white flag and shouting: 'Arnego. Amagoi Chenc amego!."

Effect of Policy to Be Adopted by the
 Three Powers.

The questions now come up, says the Independent: Will the three govern ments interested be able to work in harmony and will the general effect be edueatiye on the people, tending to- ward the development of the power of self-goyernment? As to tke former. much will depend on the ultimate pur- pose of the governments. If the islands are to be exploited for the prime advantage of Germany, England and the United States, then we can scarcely expect anything else than renewal of the criminations and re- erlmlnations of the past years and harmony may as well be thrown Q the winds. If, on the other hand, it IS made evident that in the conduct of the government or the islands the first thought IS what will be hest for them, even If 1t involves some sacrifice of other interests. then there is no req son why there should not be a happy and prosperous future for the e0mmu- nity. Upon the same thing depends the answer to the second question That the Samoan can rise to self-s ernment few, if any, will deny. Whether he will attain to t, however. is a very different question. If he is made to feel that he is simply an agent to further German-English-A American trade interests, his keenness may be developed, but not his character. That will only come by. recognizing his man. hood, trusting while at the same time guiding his judgment. stirring his ann bitioD by opening to him new eppor- ssnities.

His Memory.

"I tell you MT. Billus was saying. "there is nothing like bunch of keys to develop ones memory. Now I have twenty-seyen keys on this ring, and I add new one every few days. yet I am never at a moments loss to select the right one when I have occasion to use it. What have you got that brass button strung there for?" "Um-that was put there by my wife day or two ago to remind me of some trifing thing I was to get for her, but I've forgotten what it was.

A white flag floats over every prison in token of this praiseworthy fact, and virtue reigns supreme in the canton of Vaud.

MR.. FRANK PAGE NO BETTER

Mr.. Frank Pages condition yesterday
showed no change. His case is some
thing of mystery to the doctors His
pulse is strong and regular, his respira-
ton good and apparently he is in no
pain. All the organs of his body are
in normal condition. Yet he sleeps all
the time and it is with the greatest diff
fculty that he can be aroused suffi-
GENTLY to take nourishment or medicine.
When a spoonful of milk or medicine
is put into his mouth it is hard to make
him swallow it, and then he goes TO
sleep again almost before he can be
given more. When asked how he feels
he either makes no reply or says
mighty BAD

The cause of the bad electric lights
furnished by the Raleigh Electric Com
pany the past two or three nights, Pres

and therefore could not have been pre-
vented, and the damage will be re-
paired as quickly as possible.
The Daughters of the Confederacy,
which have been holding their State
Convention at Henderson, brought it
to close last night with a grand
banquet. OF course they had to have
Dughi as caterer, and he went down

had orders to prepare a banquet for
125 people.
Because of the fact that many peo-
pie have bought curling and other stone

failed to pay for it, the Street Commit

stone will be sold to citizens unless the
cash accompanies the order or deposit

FIGHTING FOLLOWED WITH CRIT
ICAL INTEREST.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Among
the foreign attaches stationed at Wash
ington the fighting about Manila Is be-
ing followed with critical interest. They
speak of it in rather serious terms. the
prevailing view being that the insur-
gents can keep up a long and harrass-
ing running fight. One of the foreign
representatives who has seen long SER
vice in the Far East said that casual
ties of twenty day may seem small,
but when long continued reach discour-
aging proportions.
There is no tension in official quar-
ters; no excitement or apprehension,
but, on the contrary, sort of conf
dence that American arms will be vic
torious. The only anxiety is as to the
extent of the victory, as it is hoped that
it will be of such a character as to
break the backbone of the insurraction
and bring the rebel leaders to terms
