MENELEK AGAINST SLAVERY.
Abyssinian King Forbtds His People
TO Make Slaves of the Gala
Natives.

A few weeks ago King Menelek OF
Abysslnla issued a decree against the
slave trade. 1t is couched in the Ian
guage of potentates who have unlim-
tied power to enforce laws of their
own making. The king says:
by letter forwarded some time
ago to all the provinces, forbade traffic
in men of the Gala tribe. also init
mated that those guilty Of this offense
would be eXcommunicated from the
Christian Church of Abyssinia but you
refuse to cease making slaves of the
Gala men
Now beware. You who are taken in
the act Of enslaving the Gallas will no
longer, as heretofore, be fined or turned
out OF the church; but you will be pun
ished in your own persons, by which
| mean you will be subjected to the
penalty of mutilation.'
This, remarks the New York Sun,
is certainly one Of the most dras-
=" measures vet taken against slave
trading in Africa. The Gallas are a fine
tribe widely spread over The country
south OF Abyssinia. A large part of
their territory, by agreement between
Menelek and Great Britain, now lies
within the kings domain
The Abyssinians, with their guns and
superior military skill, have regarded
Gallaland as their pOaching ground and
have inflicted great hardships upon the
natives, whom they robbed frequently,
not only Of their produce, but also Of
their liberty
The evil has been increasing. Abys-
sinians have seemed to think that the
easiest way to acquire wealth was to
make a raid in Gallaland and carry
home few scores of natives to sell as
slaves. The crimes committed against
this superior tribe have been the scan
dal Of Menelek's reign. The Gallas
have been poweress to make effective
defense, though they have lost no op-
portunity of spearing individual Abys
sinians or very small parties and speed
lily decamping to avoid detection.
Years ago the Arabs were wont to in
wade the Gala country and take hun
cent years, however, the Abyssinians
have been the only oppressors.
The injustice done them has been
the more pitiful because as agricultur-
lists and herdsmen and in the industrial
arts they are more advanced than any
other pagan people in that part of
Africa They are famous for fidelity
and frankness and are distinguished by
intense love of freedom and self-gOv-
ernment. Such is their horror of cap
tivity that they no longer regard as
Gallas those OF their fellows who are
dragged away into bondage
In setting his face against the Gala
slave trade Menelek has hOnored him
self; and the sympathy and interest
with which the world has been watch
ing his effort to consolidate and develop
his country will be intensified.

w. Hallock, a government expert

at various depths in the famous ''deel
wells at Wheeling, W. Va. Several q.
these are over 1000 feet in depth. In
one of them Zone in which the depth. as
given by the foreman of the drilling
company which put the well down, is
1853 feeO, it was found that the tenn
perature at a depth of 800 feet was
20.4 degrees centigrade. When the in
strument was lowered to a depth Of
1000 feet and given time to do its rec
istering, it was found that the mark
had been set at 32.2, while at a point
only eight feet from the bottom and
1850 feet from the surface of the
earth it registered as high as 43.4 de-
grees.

Dead Body in River Tied by Rope
to Tree.
SPECIAL to The State.

Orangeburg, April 25.-A
gentleman from the Elloree sec
tion of the county was in the
city this morning and told Of the
finding of dead body in the San
tee river, few days ago, by n
party of fishermen from the ElIo-
rec section. There were five or
six gentlemen in the party. Dur
ing the afternoon they noticed
what appeared to be n sack float
ing ON the water. Upon lnvesti-
cation it was discovered to be q
human body floating down stream
in the river. The strange cir
cumstanccs of the matter are that
the body had rope tied around
the waist and the other end of
the rope was tied to a tree a short
distance away on the bank of the
river. From the appearance of
the body, it must have been dead
for two weeks or more. 1t look

The Crum Nomination Dies.

Washington, April 27.-The
nomination of William D. Crum
to be collector at the port of
Charleston, S. c., was considered
today in an executive session of
the senate, lasting from 4:35 p.
IN. to 9:15. A failure to confirm
the appointment resulted. At the
conclusion of arguments bv Sena,
tors Gallingcr, Spooner, Hale and
Aldrich, for confirmation, and
Senators Daniel, Latimcr, Cor
man and Clay against confirmation,
Senator Cockrcil suggested the
Senate proceed to Legislative husi =
ness, and the suggestion was ad-
opted.
The Crum nomination dies with
the adjournment of the present
session, but the action of the
Democrats in taking u position
which Republicans term a ''Gli-
buster,' they argue, will warrant
the president in again making {
recess appointment.

Looking For A Vice. President.
Eoth Parties Casting About for
Nan for Second Place.


as Il foregone conclusion.
Recently there has been renewed
mention of Speaker Cannon, who
is somcw hat alarmed lest his pic
turesqUe figure as the permanent
chairman of the Chicago conven>
ton might start a stampede for
his nomination. Mr.. Cannon
would not for Il moment think of
encouraging such selection. He
has the second office in influence
and importance under our form
OF government. At his time of
life II Is not likely that he can
aspire to anything higher, as Mr..
RooscvcIt's nomination for the
Presidency for the next four years
is assured There Is no reason
personally for MIR. Cannon to
sacrifice his high place for one Of,
fcring cnly empty honors.
However, when national cons
vention woes candidate, be it
for President or Vice President,
it is very difficult for that man to
sldc-step the attentions. If the
convention On reaching Chicago
should fad that tic Illinois Re-
publicans are SO badly torn with
dissensions to seriously enlanger
the State in which
may prove to be the fact after the
State convention has been held
the cIamor would be great for IL
Republican candidate who could
help powerfully in keeping IIli-
nois in line. No other man would
We 50 available under such circum-
stances as Mr.. Cannon.
The mention of Secretary Shaw
for the nomination continues. He
most cmphatically denies any as
pirations for the Wee Presidency,
bat, as in the case of Speaker
Cannon. Secretary Shaw's disin-
cIinatioh does not materially affect
the situation.
The Washington sentiment is
distinctly for the nomination of
MIR. Fair banks, but he is himself
indifferent. In some sections of
Indiana there is little enthusiasm
for placing him on the ticket Not
but that Indiana Republicans
would gladly support Senator
Fairbanks for the high office. The
fact is that many of them regard
the Office he holds as one of high
er honor than the Vice Presl,
dency. Then there IS an aversion
to have the State torn with great
strife for his seat, which would
inevitably follow his nomination
for the Vice Presidency. 1t is
significant in this connection that
the Indiana State convention will
endorse Mr.. Roosevelt, hut, as
planned, will not endorse Mr..
Fairbanks for the Vice Presi-
dencY.
Democrats are also diligently
looking about for Vice Presiden-
tiul timber. There are still @
good ,hnny people unwilling to
acknowledge that the nomination
of Judge Parker IS asured, but
those who regard his nomination
rs certain, in spite of the many
States that have not instructed
their delegates, are talking much
about available running mates.
The most recent gossip has been
favorable to Marshal Field, of
Chicago. His name was suggest
ed as far back rs the meeting
here Of the Democratic national
committee. Probably the Demo
cratic talk for Mr.. Field is ia part
responsible for revival of boom

X SUMMER VACATION
 ON A HOUSE BOAT.

Four young women belonging in New York city are having delightful summer on houseboat They rented the craft already furnished, had 1t lowed into the quiet waters of a peace full, sheltered bay and there anchored 1t, to remain during the three months of July. August and September. The rent of the furnished house boat. in cluding the expense of having it lowed by a tug to the peaceful bay was $175. The craft has two large rooms and a flat roof. with an awning over it.. Hammocks swung there make life a dream of comfort. and the distance from the shore insures safety from the mosquitoes. that pest of the Atlantic coast.
 Being in a region where fish, crabs and lobsters abound, the house boat dwellers have an abundance of sea food of the freshest kind at small cost The girls do their own homework. A boy is engaged to bring them fresh water daily from the shore. One of the two rooms the girls use for their cot beds; the other is kitchen and din
