SLAVERY STILL LIVES.

Horrible Traffic In Human Live* Carried On in Epypt. Slave trading is still being carried on in Egypt despite the endeavors of the British authorities to suppress the

horrible traffic. A case has just been tried in Cairo which reveals a melancholy state of affairs. The president of the Egyp--11 a n Legislative 'Council, Ali PashaJ Cherif, was accused of purchasing slaves, and, seeing

that the evidence against him was overwhelmingly strong, he confessed. It may well be asked, if those in response ble positions engage in slave who can be depended on to suppress or endeavor to suppress the horrid traffic in human lives? The man who ran Cherif’s villainy to earth is CoL Schaefer, director general of the Slave Trade Bureau. Since 1882 he has been at the head of this department and maintains a force of! 400 mounted men, whose object is to Intercept slave caravans coming from

the interior of the coast During his office he has liberated 15,000 staves from harams beside large numbers who were in the hands of dealers awaiting a ready market All through the interior and toward the Red

Sea the Slave Trade Bureau has patrols, but watchful as are the mounted men the wily Arab slave dealers often; elude them and land thousands of captives yearly to be disposed of in the l markets.

COL. SCHAEFER.
