STILL TRAFFIC IN SLAVES.
Portuguese in West Africa Are To-
Day Doing a Systematic
Business.

Portuguese West Africa is one part
Of the world where the slave trade
still flourishes, according to Harper's
Magazine. The writer thus describes
what he saw at Benguela:
A day or two before the steamer
is due to depart a kind Of ripple seems
to pass over the stagnaMt town. Off
Gals stir, clerks begin to crawl about
with pens, the long, low building called
the tribunal opens a door or two, a
window or two and looks quite busy.
Then, early one morning, the curador
arrives and takes his seat in the long,
low room as representing the beneti-
cent government of Portugal. Into
his presence the slaves are heTded in
gangs by the official agent. They are
ranged up and in accordance with
the decree of January 20, 1908, they are
asked whether they go willingly as la
bOrers to San Thome. No attention of
any kind is paid to their answers. In
most cases no answer is given. Not
a refusal
The legal contract for five years labor
on the island of San Thome or Principe
is then drawn out and, also in accord
ance with the decree, each slave receives
a tin disk with his number, the initials
of the agent who secured him, and,
in some cases, though not usually at
Benguela, the name of the island TO
which he is destined. He also re.
ceives in tin cylinder a copy of his
register, containing the year of con-
tract, his number and name, his birth
place, his chiefs name, the agents name
and observations" of which last
have never seen any. Exactly the
same ritual is observed for the wom-
en- as for the men.
The disks are hung round their necRs,
the cylinders are slung at their sides
and the natives, believing them to be
some KIND of fetish, or white mans
Ju-ju," are rather pleased. All are theI
ranged up and marched out again, either
to the compounds, where they are shut
in, or straight to the pier where tho
lighters, which are to take them to the
ship, lie tossing upon the waves.
The climax Of the farce has now beer
reached. The deed of pitiless hypocrisy
has been contaminated. The require
meRts of legalized slavery have been
satisfied. The government has "rs
deemed" the slaves which it's OWE
agents have so diligently and so profit
ably collected They went into the
tribunal as slaves; they have come out
as contracted laborers."

And then perhaps they burst into
song under the spell, blending thaJy
voices into what the professional gem
tlemen termed "barber-shop harmon
les" until policeman would saunter
across the street, pretending, however,
that he was not aware of them.
Then perhaps a ride toward the
beautiful northern sky would be pro-
posed, whereupon three or four hanson
or coupe loads would begin a Journey
that wound up through Central park
toward the northern light, but which
never attained a point remoter than
some suburban road house, where
sleepy cooks and bartenders would
have to be routed out to collaborate
toward breakfast.
Oftener the party fell away into
struggling groups with notions for
sleep, chanting at last, perhaps:
while beer brings gladness. don't forget
That water only makes you wet"
Percival would walk to the hotel,
sobered and perhaps made a little re-
Elective by the unwonted quiet. But
they were pleasant, careless folk, he
concluded always. They permitted him
to spend his money, but he was quite
sure they would spend it as freely as
ne if they had it. More than one APP
preciative soubrette, met under such
circumstances, was subsequently en-
abled to laud the sureness of his taste
in jewels--he cared little for anything
but large diamonds, it transpired.
Under this more o. less happy sur
face Of diversion, however, was an ex-
perience decidedly less felicitous. He
knew he should not must not, hold
Avice Milbrey in his mind; yet when
he tried to put her out it hurt him.
At first he had plumed himself upon
his lucky escape that night, wnen he
would have declared his love to her.
To have married girl who cared only
for his money; that would have been
dire enough. But to marry girl like
that! He had been lucky indeed!
Yet, as the weeks went by the shock
Of the scene wore off. The scene itself
remained clear, with the grinning gro
tesquerie of the JACKIE lanterns light
ing it and hooking his simplicity. But
the first sharp physical hurt had
healed. He was forced to admit that
the girl still had power to trouble him.
At times his strained nerves would re-
lax to no other device than the pictur-
ing of her as his own. Exactly in the
measure that he INDUCED this would
his pride smart. With a budding gift
for negation he could imagine her car
ing for nothing but his money; and
there was that other picture, swift and
awful, a pantomime in shadow, with
the leering yellow faces above it.

There are times when life is something
more than eat, and drink, and sleep;
When the surface shows no ripple though

When the good that's In the worst Of US

And has famed loves fading embers till
they flash again and glow;
When we feel there's something in us mas

When it's quiet in the evening and the

When the CRATE fires crimson after glow
Is grazing into gloom,
When there's none but she and you within
that coy little room;
When the cat upon the hearth rug yawns
and drifts again to dreams,
Then how very like the heaven we have
learned to long for seems
That delightful little chamber with the
magic charm endowed
When it's quiet in the evening and the
clock ticks loud.
Not word to break the Stiffness YET
there's music in the air
Music born of softest silence, music sweet
and low, and rare;
For the one who sits beside you is your
sweetheart, and you know
That she loves you, for she wed you many
patient years ago;
And her love songs, born of silence make
you brave, and great and proud,
When it's quiet in the evening and the

PREMIER MAY QUIT
HIS OFFICE TO-DAY
On Emperor's Great Speech, Now
Ready, the Course of At
fairs Depends.

st. Petersburg, May &25.-3 pm
1t was rumored in the Hobbies of parlia-
ment this afternoon that Premier
Goremykin had. resigned and had been
succeeded by NJ Shipoff of Moscow.
1t was also reported that Prince Uru-
soft, the former assistant of the minis
try Of the interior, who resigned when
the old council of the empire declined
to accept his project to remove the race
and religion limitations from the
schools, and who has since been elected
to the lower house of parliament as a
constitutional democrat from Kaluga,
had been appointed minister Of the in
terror.
The efforts made to confirm the re-
port Of the premier's resignation were
unavailing, but it was ascertained that
Immediately upon his return to st.
Petersburg this afternoon NJ. Goremy-
kin hurriedly called an extraordinary
session of the cabinet. This seemed
to indicate that something unexpected
had happened and was enough to set
tongues wagging.
In addition to the report of the res
ignation of the cabinet it is rumored
that the emperor has decided to make
a bold bid for the support of the peas
ants by donating to them practically all
the lands belonging to him personally.

PREPARING THE GREAT SPEECH
# It Doesn't Please, Ministry May Be
- Forced Out. 3s9

st. Petersburg, May 25.-Premier
Goremykin went to Peterhof today to
secure the emperor's final approval of
the general statement of the govern.
ment g policy, which the cabinet has
prepared as an answer to the speech
from the throne. AS the statement will
probably have to run the gauntlet Of
the court camarilla, the premier, it is
believed, is not likely to be able to re-
turn here in time to deliver it this
afternoon.
The plan advocated by the majority
Of the constitutional democrats is that
if the premier speech is found un.
satisfactory, vote of lack of conf
dence in the ministry will be passed,
thus forcing upon the government the
issue Of supplanting the cabinet with
one more in harmony with the party
and the lower house.
If this course it followed, unless the
emperor is prepared to yield immedi-
ately, it is sure to hasten conflict.
Radicals More Active.
In spite Of the moderate counsek of
the leaders the constitutional demo-
Gratis are being pressed on by the de-
nunciations of the radical elements to-
wards an open rupture. Revolutionary
activity is increasing thruout tho coun-
try and the papers representing the
radical groups which were suddenly al
lowed to resume publication arc taking
advantage of the license granted them
to indulge in the bitterest attacks not
only on the government but ON parlia-
ment, and there IS evidence that revo-
lutlonary emissaries are travelling thru
the country stirring up hatred against
the mobiles and landlords and encourage
ing the peasants to strike for the osten-
sible purpose of forcing parliament to
hasten the distribution of lands.
On the other hands the agents Of re-
action are adopting the same tactics
in favor of dispersal of parliament
and return to autocracy. AS a re-
suit of this propaganda, threatening let
tiers have been received by many mem
bers of parliament and dispatches from
the interior report daily conflicts be-
tween the followers Of the two extreme
parties.
Clash in Public Square.
During meeting of Black Hundreds
on Archangel square, st. Petersburg,
last night, under the presidency Of
Barbara Nikolaievna, workmen began a
counter demonstration by singing the
" Marseillaise: - A collision followed
ing fred by the Black Hundred. One
man was killed, three were seriously
wounded and dozens sustained broken
heads.
Observing liberals trace the revival
of the old bureaucratic expedient, Di-
vide ct impera, to General Trepof 3 in
spiration.
The Slovo says that instead Of be-
ing released as announced M. Krustaleff,
president Of the executive committee
Of the workmen s council, who was ar
rested in st. Petersburg, Dec. 9 last,
during the general strike, has been
transported to Sveaborg fortress, Fin

Washington, May 25.-The program
of leaders of congress for early ad-
journment may be marred if Senator
Kittredge, who made the majority re-
port of the interoceanic canals COM
mittee in favor of sea level canal at
Panama, adheres to his present inten-
tion Of insisting upon action by con-
gress regarding the type of canal to be
employed.
The leaders propose to leave the
canal type bill out of the list of legis-
lation to be enacted at the present ses-
sion, which would leave, the president
free to proceed with the construction
of lock canal with an appropriation
of $26,OO0,0OO to be carried in the sun
dry civil appropriation bill.
Mr. Kittredge, who yesterday re-.
turned from South Dakota, does not
take kindly to the program, and says
he intends to secure action of some
kind on his bill before congress adj
journs. He thinks he has the support
of majority Of the senate for his
sea level bill, and if that measure is
inserted in tho item appropriating
money for continuing the work SO that
none of the money can be expended
for a sea level canal.
In this, however. Mr.. Kittredge fails
to take the house Of representatives into
consideration. No legislation pertain
ing to the type of canal will be per;
mitted by the house in the sundry civil
on the canal. Chairman Tawney, of
the appropriations committee, has made
careful canvass of the house and is
convinced that a large majority favors
the lock type. Anticipating the posi-.
BILE policy for which Senator Kittredge
is now contending, number Of senators
have asked Mr.. Tawney what would be
the result if such amendment were put
on the bill in the senate. The infor
nation these senators have received is
SO direct that no misunderstanding car
be had on the proposition. Mr.. Taw
ney told these senators if such a thing
were done the senate would have to re
cede from it's amendment, as under ne
circumstances, unless instructed by thu
house, would he agree to that amend
ment. He does not believe the house
will agree to determination Of type o.
canal on SO short notice, and without
I full and careful consideration.
