in this last of the independent ma
tons Of dark Africa-for a price.
1T was all this traffic-a business
u 5000 years old-that Ras Tafari
promised to give up when Ethi-
opia knocked on the door of the
League of Nations and sought adj
mittance as an independent, pro-
gressive Christian nation.
This act created a stir through
out the world. And it also held
what the intelligentsia like to
call IAN imponderable." Here was
a nation, almost forgotten by the
world, at any rate considered saw
age and wild, asking to be lined
up on equal terms with the civil
lied world
1t meant that this wild" nation
had heard of the League and
trusted it. Its trust was so great
that it was willing to give up
slavery.
Abyssinia sent four gorgeously
dressed delegates to Geneva to
press her claims. And the coun-
try's customs and policy were so
little known outside of Northern
Africa, that the delegates were
kept busy for whole month stat
ing their claims, establishing their
status as a nation with definite
boundaries, a stable government,
taxes and diplomatic relationship.
The world at Geneva learned
that AbysSinia did possess borders,
though some were a little vague
where they thrust out into the
Wilds of the dark continent.
The committee was eventually
satisfied that Emperor Halle Sc
lassie did have complete and uni

was slavery.

But we don't call that slavery.
We are civilized
Eventually the League of Ma
tons arrived at a compromise.
Ethiopia was to eliminate slavery
as quickly as possible, and in re-
turn the League would recon-
mend a membership ticket for the
Abyssinians.
The resolution was passed
unanimously. The four black
delegates from this ancient land
of the Queen of Sheba were led
to their places amid great cheer
ing.
The chief delegate, Dedjazmatch
Nadeou, was dressed in the flow
ing garments of Ethiopia. The
entire assembly of civilized Cd ma
tons representative was highly
impressed. The delegate was de-
termined to make his speech be-
fore all these great dignitaries.
He thrust his hand into the
voluminous folds of his garment.

quoted as expressing regret at the
Aduwa defeat. Kaiser Wilhelm
sent a telegram of sympathy to
King Humhert. France, on the
other hand, was suspected of Sc

Much American wonderment

greatly from dysentery, and the

Then there are DEGREES
against such traffic, so the
trader who fouls the law
must exercise extreme eau
ton, tread unbeaten paths
through unbroken jungle,
and cross hot burning
deserts, so as to bootleg his
human merchandise across
the Abyssinian border with
out being caught.
The traffic has become
rlore and more dangerous.
If a trader gathers up two
caravans Of slaves-about
% or 80 per year-and Is
to 20 slaves survive the ter
rible rigors of travel, then
he is satisfied.
He buys most of his slaves from
chiefs who are broke and need
money to pay the local taxes. The
trader puts up the tax money and
takes the slaves. These luckless
humans are herded together at
one rendezvous, caravans arrive
and then the trek to AbySsinia
starts.
The traders, of course, must pay
tribute to the chiefs of the vii
lagos where a rendezvous is held
graft is a business which is as
common as the world is wide!
At the rendezvous, the trader
has his own cache, a sort Of series
of cellars. Open one and you may
see half dozen women sleeping
together in a dark, hot hole in the
ground. In another cellar you will
find men.
Every house in the village
rendezvous has some sort of secret
hole in the ground in which the
slaves may be thrust to await the
time of setting out on the long
journey across the hot desert
sands.

HUNTING for slaves-nark
Il a that phraseology! Hunting
for slaves is exactly the same as
hunting for wild beasts. The
traders gallop over great distances
to fertile tracts of land, where
they know farmers till their fields
and cattle herds Craze the live
longday.
Through the forest they prowl
with great stealth. They wait I'M
til dawn behind a thicket, at the
edge of some clearing or pasture.
Then when the dawn breaks
and the sun streams it's first rays
through the trees, the herds are
driven out to Craze. The herders
are often women. The slave
hunter waits, tensed and muscle
punched.
When the herd passes, he leaps,
a panther-like leap of great
power. A cloth descends over the
luckleSs girls head In a trice
powerful arms encircle her.
Off to the thicket she is carried
and it is the work of moment
to gag, bind and toss her over the
shoulder like some sack of meal.
And the life of slavery for that
girl has begun!
The routes most used to return
slaves to AbySsinia are not those
by land, but by sea. And it is
ironical that there embarkation
points for slave trading ships
should be in Italian Eritrea and

.UPTURN EXTENDED

Contracts in 81 States To-

to S40,528,3 300 in August.

NE WYORK. October 14.-Residen-
tial building contracts let in the 81
Eastern States during September to-
tailed SAL $40, 300, compared with $4O,-
$4,000 in August and $17,853, 500 in
September last year, according to F.
w. Dodge Corp.
The September volume brought the
figures for the first nine months of
1885 up to $685., ,907 500, compared with
slSS, ,080,l00 in the same period in
1894. This gain of about 80 per cent,
the corporation says in its summary,
was entirely due to improvement in
private activity as distinguished from
public housing undertakings.
Heavy losses in governmental prof.
ects from last year has resulted in a
lower total volume of construction in
the first three quarters of this year,
despite the improvement in residential
construction, the corporation states.
This year the total for that period
was $1.l9l ,6s7, ZOO. as against s1,203,-
507,200 in the same period in 1884.
For September alone, the corporation
reported, total awards for all classes of
construction aggregated $751; 200,
compared with sl6S,557 200 in August
and $ll0,l5l,2 200 in September, 1884.
On the basis of results so far the
corporation says residential building
has finally arrived at the S400,000, 900
mark for a 12-month period and con-
tinues as the most important since de-

NEW YORK, October 14.-After
repeated revivals believed to be pre-
mature, the copper industry has en-

trade authorities declare is as bright
as the FURNISHED metal itself.
Demand and prices have expanded
together, with the greatest attention
focused on price.
In the domestic market, quotations
held steady at 9.25 cents pound,
gained early last week. In foreign
centers the price has been as high as
e.15 cents a pound, although the range
recently has been more between SOS
and go cents.
