HOW THB OONFEKENOB WIU, BK COMPOSED. Such, according to the moat recent eye- witneases^nd authorities your oorroepondent has consulted and to the last docnmenta. published or unpublished, is the present condition of the black fleah traffic which in Livingatones time made iialf a million victims annually, and now, aooording to Cardinal Lavigeiie, makes two million viotimaâ€" a figure which may have been exaggerated some montha ago, bnt which, tlianka to the capture of Emin'a province, wUl aoon be be low the truth if the "African onne" be not quickly put a atop to. And now the dviliaod nations are going to put ail their heads together to stamp out the hideous evil, not only from sentiment and because they feel theur moral responai- bility oonoeming a plague of their own croation, but also from aeU intereat, because, at the time when the overcrowded Old World is seeklog to get out of its social troubles by preparing Aiiioan outlets for its coitimarce and its surplai population, it is confronted and arrested on every aiae by its pupils the slave traders and slave hunters, who likewise wish to shut out Gl^rmany from the Zanaibar ceaat, EWgland from the Stciali coast, the Bolgiana from the Upper Congo, and light and progreas from every polns of the D«rk Oontineut. And this is what iiaa prompted Belgium, at the sugges- tion of L«rd Salisbury, to o«nvene a great An ti- Slavery Congress which is now in sassion in the Conference Hall of the Foreiim Office, in Bruetiels. HOW THE ATBJCAS CUBSZ IS TO BE BEKOVED. What anti-^lavery measures will be pro- poeed neither President Camot, Lvrd Salisbury, the King of the Belsiana nor Prince IMemarck oouTd probably say exactly themselves at the present moment seeing that no previoua agreement baa been come to, that each one is in the dark as to the other one's pkms, and that the delagates will probably have to telegraph daily to sbetr respective G«v«mmea1B for fresh instmc- tions while tia« Cooferenoe Is prdcettdlng. Bat several sn^rations are already in the air which are Kkely to be brought forward. 0«o of them is to render general the system aarried out last summer by England and „^„«xplan»tlooawwtoBtha and all ia Snniah.

Soon af tar this Thompaoa righted a brig, the C»ptain of whioh proved an old friend. He divided the aeore* with him, and together they aaQod for the lalanda.

Preparations were made for going ashore and diggin? np the gold and jewels. As Ravelo was stepping into the boat he begged to bo allowed to returji to the cabin for a little plat of the place he had. The cabin boy, who was in the place at the time, after- ward told that he filled his pockets with all the led and Iron he could stuff into them. On returnhig he slid into the boat, lost his of a wife of a millionaire with whom he was carrying on a Uttle love affair. He aoon auaseodod in gaining thoaervioes of a band of kindred spUrits, who were ready for any plan that promised fortune. Oa the nieht before the sailing of the vessel they waylaid a party taking the last of the j swels aboard. The bearers were killed, ana two of the heaviest MBkets liurned over to the keeping ot the maid, who promised to meet Somers in a foreign land. Boats were manned, the pirates brarded the brig and killed the g^"" They threw out the proper signaU, which SomerF, as an efficer in the Peruvian navy, was acquainted with, picked their way anjong the guarding ships, and struck out boldly into the Pacific. After some discus- sioc, and more disputing, the pirates made for the Marianne Islands and bnrled the treasure. A course was then shaped for Honolulu. Before reaching the port, however, the old disputes sprang up about a division of the ssoils and the method of disposing sf them. The crew quickly divided into two factions. One night one side attempted to extermin- ate the other. Snmerii, three officers, and a cabin boy soon found themselves pcnnsd in the cabin, the others of their party hav- ing beon KILLED AND PITCHBD OVBSBOASS. The Victors cele':rated toe event m a wild orjty. The four men in the cabin took advantage of their condition, fought a clear passage to one of tho boats, provision- ed it, and put off, after first setting fire t» the ship. While on the ocean in deaparate straits a small cask of whiskey caused a fight between two of the effioers. One was killed outright. The other, badly wounded, was soon after sacrifioed to save the rapidly diminishing provision. At Honolulu, Somers, Pedro Bavrlo, and the cabin boy represented themselves as the survivors of a shipwreck. Their story touched the sympathy of a merchant, who provided them with paaaoa to San Franoiso, Sem^era'a first business wss to try to get pos- aeisionof the JBwels left in Lima In charge of his sweetheart. In order to realize on^hem and tout an expediticn for the Marianne Is- aods. The three raked and 8crap?d together every c )nt possible. It was given in charge of R kvelo and the boy, who were to go to Lima and bring back the maid and the isw- els. Somers, being afraid to show his face anywhere near the Peruvian line^ for obvious reasons, remained in this city. At the same time he proposed to do what he regai tied as a neat little stroke of business. The treas- ure on the islands was large, but the fewer there were to share it the larger it would be. After the style of the trick practised on Bellerophon, he despatched an epistle by Ravelo and the boy urging the maid to aee that the messengers were killed. The mes- sengers reached Lima, delivered their letters and were cordially received by the former love of Somers. Time and the revolution had changed her lot, however, thanks to the jewels Intrusted to her oare on the. nigh j of Somer's great coup of the Peruvian treasures. She waa the wife of a great-official She coolly informed the messengers that she didn't propose to go with them, and chat she dldn t take any stock in their story relating to the treasures being safely buried and Somers waitfaig to guide her to them. The messengers threatentd grip, and SHOT BEKBAIH THE SUBFACE. The coxswain made a grab for his disappear-, ing head and pulled away a tuft of hair. The two Captains went ashore and made a long and vain search for the treasure. They had Somer's plat, bnt he had goni down grasping a part of it. What detcriptions they had were in Spanish and not a man among them was acquainted with that lan- guage. In digging about, some South American coins were found, a ring, a sailor's knifer and a pieoe of board, into which had been burn- ed the letters £1 Ci, undoubtedly a portion ot the words El Ciudad, the name of the brig in which Somers fled with the treasure. Grumbling among the overworked sailora and a scarcity of provisions compelled the Captains to abandon the search. In January, 18S6, the British schooner Nereid sailed from Yokohama as far as Gnan, a small island in the Marianne group, in search of the treasure. The vessel waa never heard of afterward, and is supposod to have perished In the terrible typhoon that swept that coast shortly afterward. Two expeditiena have aailed from Lima, implying a confidence in the confession of the murdered cabin boy, One of them was wrecked on a coral reef, and the other returned unsnooessful. Speculators took up the scheme and worked for some time to have the Gsvemment back them in an expedition. For a time it looked as if their object would be attained, but a new ad- ministration conJng into power mined their hopes. Thompson Is In San Francisco, old and penniless. For a long tim? he tried. to interest capitalists in his story, bnt without result. Shioe the report of the fitting out of tbe expedition has got. abroad Thompson has disappeared. Those in his old haunts who are familiar with his habits are con- fident that be b now being kept in seclusion until the story of the treasures on Marianne Island has been tested.
