Chain Gang ana promises
Special to The Herald.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. 14.-In view
of the effort which is being made in
England to put stop to the atrocities
in the Congo Free State in Africa,
where the natives are forced to gather
rubber in the forests under threats and
promises, the last statistics of the rub
ber trade in that country speak elo-
ouently of the conditions there.
The total imports into the Congo Free
State last year amounted to $2,OO0,O 600.
The exports amounted to $1O000,0 900. The
imports show a decrease of 100000, as
compared with the previous year, while
the exports show a gain of $230,0OO
This is pretty good proof that the more
the native produces the less he gets.
Four-fifths of the imports consist of
government supplies and railroad ma
terial Most of the remainder of the
imports go to the natives on the Lower
Congo, from where no rubber is OBJ
tained The natives of the Upper
Congo 0he greatest rubber producing
section of the country, In exchange for
the $4,000, 900 worth of rubber and ivory
they produce annually, get nothing ex-
cept bullets the lash, the chain gang
and promises.
f: D. Morel, who has been investi-
eating the conditions of the rubber
trade in the Congo Free State. in
speaking of the immense profits in the
rubber business, says:
ut is a paying game, the rubber
slave trade on the Congo. Nearly 5000
tens Of the stuff were acquired last
year A man who has been in it re-
marked to me quite casually in course
of conversation that at the lowest COM
putation each ton of rubber exported
cost ten human lives. How moderate
the estimate is may be gagged from
the last ten years records. He did not
estimate the loss in human life, through
the food taxes levied upon the people
to feed the officials, the soldiers and
their hangers-on and other agents of
the rubber machine because, he said,
it would be more difficult"

on a stormy matrimonial sea. She az
rived in this city a few days ago from

month. E''
On her arrival in New York she re-
tanned James w. Osborne as her coun-
