Slave Trad in Frisco.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-There are
reports here tonight that the federal
authorities have, SO far as lies within
their authority. directed that steps be
taken Immediately to put stop 10 the
slave trade said to exist in Chinatown,
San Francisco. Some time ago the
newspapers announced that several
Chinese girls had been sold into slav-
cry in Chinatown, and that complaints
had been made to the federal govern
ment that the local authorities seemed
unlikely TO take steps to suppress this
trade and prevent the recurrence of
sales of girls at auction. Upon these
reports, 1t is said, instructions have
been sent to San Francisco from
Washington. The officials OF the Treas
ury Department. and the Department
of Justice We're reticent when asked
about the matter and gave neither con-
firmation nor denial

ENGLAND MAY Y
TAX SUGAR

NEW YORK, April administers and
members of Parliament are already gath
erng for the budget speech today, says
the Tribune's London correspondent Sir
Michael Hcks-Beach is reviving his es-
Inmates, and putting the finishing
touches on the budget. Lord Lansdowne
has returned and there will be a full at
tendance at the Cabinet meeting tomor-
row. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach has kept
his official secrets so closely that the
budget spectators are working in the
dark. Export duties on coal, increased
duties on tea tobacco and spirits, the
inclusion of sugar in the schedules, indi-
rect taxation and increased taxation of
incomes are predicted on the eve of the
resumption of the session; but there Is
no authoritative information, and some
of these guesses will prove incorrect, for
the Chancellor of the EXchequer is GER
tain to find it more comfortable to Dor
row money literally than to overwhelm
the country with fresh taxation when
the end of the war Is not in sight. I'm
certainty prevails in the Welsh and
Lancashire coal districts and the Liver
pool sugar market and commercial cir
cles generally. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach
will be faced with a united Liberal front
bench, Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman
having returned in improved health and
Sir William Vernon Harcourt being in
me IOTH.
Much depends upon the reception OF
the budget speech by the country. The
promotion of Mr.. Chamberlain to the
leadership of the Commons and the ele-
walton of Mr.. Balfour to the peerage will
be FASTENED If the budget proves highly
unsatisfactory to the nation.
Military clubs are also agog over Gen
eral Roberts dispatches on the war and
the long list of commentators. Lord
Methuen's friends are jubilant and Cen
erai Buffers partisans are disconnected
by the GOODNESS of General Roberts ref
erence to him.
1t is hardly credible that General Bull
Ter desired his successor in the chief
command to patronize him. He attended
Winston Churchilrs lecture at the United
Service Institution with many other mill
itary men and seemed to be bearing up
bravely.
LONDON, April 1.-THE excitement in
the sugar market increases as Sir Mich
ael Hicks-Beachs budget statement
comes nearer. The Clyde crushed sugar
exchange opened very excitedly today.
Prices Immediately jumped six pence
hundredweight above yesterday. The de-
mand was so strong that refiners asked
for and secured an additional three
pence. Everything offered was sold be-
fole the close. All the refineries have
been working day and night for a week

An interesting contribution to

An interesting contribution to edu-
cational research is furnished in the
annual report Of the President OF the
st. Louis Board Of Education. This
educator takes issue with those who
believe that poverty is the main cause
Of children leaving school before the
completion of the course. Inquiry has
shown him, he reports, that the losses
in attendance occur almost entirely
among the older and the backward pu-
pills, who have lost interest, or have
grown discontented because Of the con-
trast in point of progress between
them and younger children. For these
the excuse Of poverty is regarded as
only a cloak. Added to the influence
of the children in the matter is 'hc
parents lack of appreciation OF the
value Of an education.
