His hame is Capt. E. <X Horn, and under the auspices of tho London Missionar) r sotnety ho baa been enployod building vessels on the great Lake Tanganyika and traveling through the dark oofitmeut Capt Horn in a cofrversation with a reporter said: “Reports on the land and E ople of Africa are varied, but all who ve penetrated into the inmost recess^ aye unanimous in their conclusions that the slave trade is the chief obstruction to civilization and commerce. Africa had, until the past twenty years, the name of being an arid, unhealthfrtl country,, be- ' cause outside of a given distance little was known of the ..land., While it is true that great tracts of country are barren and no water exists, still by ex ploitation it has been proved that abundant supplies of water can be ob tained Which will make the country bios- •om into a pcirf(Kt g«^£^ilawara.~~..». “In the most arid part 1 over visited— Ugogo—the people dig wells and find water, which is carefully stored for a time of drought. Perhaps no tropical soontry has a more healthful climate than Central Africa. In the interior tho land rises to a high elevation. The many deaths and sickness among Euro peans are caused more by the conditions of life, absence of accustomed food and good doctors and nurses than from cli matic causes. occupations. “On tho shores of Lake Tanganyika there are at least nine tribes distinctive in physical characteristics, language and fashions and weapons, clothing, archi* lecture and domestic life. They are all expert fishermen, using seines and traps, and as the lake teems with fish their ventures are well repaid. Iron and cop per are smelted for manufacture, but in the crudest stylo. Both of these metals. In the form of small bars, ivory, rubber, palm oil and dried fish aro articles of circulation among distant tribes. Pot tery of a rude description is also made, while the art of weaving cotton cloth is well known* “The character of these natives is in fantile. In confidence and suspicion, hi easy anger and reconciliation, in unde veloped instincts they are essentially children. Under evil influence, such as the introduction of spirituous liquors •utd other vice* of civilized nations, they rapidly become ctanorahzed.’' , The idea of regarding these Central Africans in the same light as Australian or Indian aborigines is absurd. When better known they will be looked upon * as healthy children, imitative aud eager to acquire knowledge. Deprecating in every poaablo manner tile horrible features of the slave trade, the explorer thinks that by honest trade, a selection of good employes by the many organizalioim now engaged in Central Africa, on the Congo and tho great lakes; by justice, development of the resource* of industries, together with the earnest co-operation of the mis- ■kmaries, the prosperity of the great country and its people will be an assured fact. THE SLAVE THADE. . > “I have lived in Africa,** continued Capt Horn, “long enough to assure my self that many a so called ‘savage attack’ by African natives wn* in reality ‘a gal lant defense* from their point of view; that the low type African of whom we hear is often but a noble savage degraded by contact with Arab ivory aud slave dealers. During the past ten or twelve ▼ears many wiute men and women have lived among the tribes of the fur interior, and it has been discovered that they are people of much tho same pa*sion* as Caucasians. Although easily degraded, they are also capable, when surrounded by favoring circumstances, of rjsing in civilization and of grasping higher and better things. “In the far interior numbers of people in every tribe are slaves. Prisoners of war t .jhoie cgageauiffll for and other offenses and their families, weakly persons or those in distress, lie- come slaves. They pass from hand to hand, traveling toward the coast as the direction where the value is greatest. There they are collected by traders, Arabs, , half caste and African. This •system of slavery can be abolislxod with the aid of tho Arab traders. Assure them other modes of living and they will cease to barter slavca with the tribes that exchange ivory. “That tho Arabs have been invited to the slave trade by the natives; that they prefer ivory, and frequently take slaves only as the alternative; that tho natives suffer more at the hands of each other than of the Arabs; that the great traffic and most horrible features of the same are essentially African and the interior ■—ore facta testified to by Burton, Baker, Livingstone and Stanley. The slave trade is, in my opinion an African, not an Arab question, hud while stories have been published of horrors aud pil lage committed by Arabs at the sonth end of Lake Tanganyika and the north and of Lake Nyanza they wore untrue and exaggerated. Tho depredations were committed by the Waweuiba and Wagaraganze tribes after the departure of the Arab trader, who kept peace among them.”—San Francisco Chron- cte. COLMBIA, S.C X. W.
