WHERE CHILDREN ARE SOLD,

On the same steamer by which I
reached Benguela there were five little
native boys, conspicuous in striped
Jerseys, and running about the ship
like rats. l suppose they were about
10 to IL years old, perhaps less. l do
not know where they came from, but
it must have been from some fairly
distant part of the interior, for, like
all natives who see stairs for the first
time, they went up and down on their
hands and knees. They were travel
ing with a Portuguese, and within a
week of landing at Benguela he had
sold them all to other white owners.
(near $500. Their owner did rather
we'll, for the boys were small and thin
hardly bigger than another native
slave boy who was at the same time
given away by one Portuguese friend
to another as a New Years present.
But all through this par. of the coun-
try I have found the price Of human
beings ranging rather higher than ]

was simply passing on the offer on to

Washington, June 19.-The basis Of
Q complete agreement on the meat IN
spsction legislation between Priest
dent Roosevelt and the house commit
tee on agriculture has been arrived at
1t the White House. Speaker Cannon
represented the committee in this In
stance and subsequently spent some
time explaining the situation to the
committee in its room at the capitol.
The bill was practically completed
when the committee adjourned.
It will authorize an annual appro-
priation of 100000 to pay the cost
Of inspection and will contain no pro-
vision for the levying of an assess
ment to make up any deficiency In
tho amount available for this work. as
suggested by Mr.. Cowan. representing
the Texas cattle growers. and later
urged BY the president.
The court review provision will not
b contained In the measure. This
action meets the suggestion Of the
president. The words "in the judy
ment Of the secretary Of agriculture"
viii not be inserted as suggested by
the president and this conclusion now
meets Mr.. Roosevelt's approval.

service law for one year In the selec-
ton Of inspectors will 60 out Of the
measure. It 10 also one Of the
Presidents recommendations.
No Date on the Label.
There is to be no date on the label
Of the packing Of meat food products.
In this the president yields to the
committee. The language which gives
inspectors the right to visit the pack
Ing plants at all times 10 amplihed by
the words whether the same be In
operation or not"
With these changes made. the
president has indicated his entire
satisfaction with the measure. which
was reported from the committee ~
Z substitute for the Beveridge amend
mont and was recommitted to the
committee that the changes might be
made.
Ordinarily Speaker Cannon does
not take such active part in legisla'

Il has been explained, however. that

the welfare Of many important indus.
tries throughout the country.
The objection which was urged ia
! the president as a reason why he
should not insist on giving authority
70 the secretary Of agriculture to
levy tax to make up any deficiency
was the constitutional provision that
congress shall levy all taxes. A
head tax on animals, it was pointed
out. would be an exceedingly un'
equal one, as the value Of fine beet
steer would be much greater than q
steer of inferior weight and condition,
yet the tax would have to be the same.
The same condition would prevail a.
70 all other animals killed for food.
