The Brussels Conference.
♦■» Thk Anti-S'avery Conference has just completed the regulations f»r the suppression of the slave-trade by land and sea, and the rules for the regulation of the traffic in arms and spirits. It has adopted measures I dealing with the slave trade in the country of its origin, for stopping the slave caravans on thmr way from the interior of Africa to the Coast, for stopping the maratime slave-trade, and for dealing with the slave markeli of Arabia and Persia. The trade in fire -sinus is to be prohibited except under defini c limitations The importation and sale of itloholic liquors is to be entirely prohibited in every zone or district where the European trade is not at present in operation, and high and restrictive duties a c to be imposed in those districts where the trade is now being carried on. It would seem that the Powers represented at the conference intend to secure that the people of interior Africa shall not be proected from being made the slaves of man but also from becoming, slaves of the Drink Fiend.
