Mr.. Fulton said Schriber had become
possessed Of the notion he must save the
bank at all hazards. and this idea so
preyed on his mind thai. he became in
sane on the subject, believing every

Schriber are that after he had impaired

ABOuSHES SLAVE TRADE
CHINA PROHIBITS SALES OF
HUMAN BEINGS.
Involuntary .Servitude Will Still
Exist in Some Instances-In-
equality Removed.

The Chinese government by imperial
reScript has abolished slavery through
out the empire and has prohibited hence
forth the purchase and sale of human
beings under any preteXt. The reform,
however, is not altogether complete, as
by the rescript certain forms of slavery
will still be tolerated. In a report to
the State Department it is said that the
retainers of Manchu princes are not
emancipated, but it is forbidden to call
them slaves. They have long enjoyed
educational and other privileges, and
they are still bound to their hereditary
masters. The household slaves of the
Manchus are also refused emancipation,
but their status under the law is i'm
proved. They are to be regarded as
hired servants, but their service is due
for an unlimited term Of years. SO that
they are in reality perpetual slaves.
Sale of Children Forbidden.
Under this rescript the immemorial
practice of selling children in China in
times of famine is abolished. but they
may be bound for specified term. but
never beyond the age Of twenty-five
years.
COncublnage is still TO De permitted,
but there is to be no bargain and sale.
Such concubines are to be married with
proper legal formalities, and they Will
enjoy the protection Of the law, but in
reality they will be no better than per-
petual slaves to the principal wife.
The rescript is said to be compro-
mise measure, but it will eventually give
freedom to millions Of human beings.
The memorial is declared to mark a
distinct advance in civilization. Formerly
the penalties for killing or treating cruel
ly a Slave were very light. while those
for offenses by the slaves against free
men were of great severity. This In
equality has now been removed and all
the population is to be brought practi-
cally under one law.
