under British officers, until the country is

the export trade in slaves; the protection of

these movements will end m Russian inter

length of justifying the Russians i in re
garding their actions as insolent challenges.
London, July 61 The PaU MaU Gazette
devotes five pages to showing that the trade
in young girls for immoral purposes has
increased alarmingly of late years, s It
claims that the growth in this traffic is due
'to the utter worthlessness of the law in re
lation to the matter. The names of sev
eral wealthy men holding prominent .posi
tions in society are mentioned in connection
with the business. The Gazette states that
it still has details of a large number of other
cases which were omitted to-day, owing to
-a lack of space, but they will be given to
the public in a few days.
Paris, July 6. Gen. Courcy, com-
mander of the French forces, telegraphs
further from Hue, in regard to the attack
made upon him by the Annamite garrison
the night after his arrival at the Capitol.
He gives the loss in killed and wounded of
both sides as follows: French 60, Anna
mite 1,500. After this engagement Gen.
Courcy occupied the citadel, which he
found to contain one thousand guns. He
has alsonordered reinforcements to be sent
him from Haiphong.
The rtress of Paris, speaking of the at
tack, insist that severe and striking punish- j
ment should De aaminisiereu 10 me au
namites. They also express the belief that
the attack was the result , of conspiracy,
fomented by China- .M. De Freycmet,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, has ordered
Gen. Courcy to exact from the government
Ml - Hue. - immediate reparation for the at
tack. ' 1 " ! "
It is stated that the loss ef the French in
the fight at Hue was much greater than
' Gen. Courcy: reported it. It is also said
- the position of Gen. Courcy's force is a
critical one, and that strong reinforcements
have been sent him from Tonquin. It is
considered very probable that another cim
r paign will have to be undertaken by the
French, aa the Annaraites are resolved to
oppose French protection."
, In the Chamber of Deputies to-day three
telegrams from Gen. Courcy were read, by
M. De Freycinet. These stated that thirty
thousand Annamites had attacked the
. French troops at Hue and burned the straw
huta in which the French were quartered.
Gen. Campenon, Minister of War, said the
French forces in Tonquin numbered 35,
000. Of these 3,000 were available to be
dispatched to any point. He begged the
House to feel reassured.
. Monsignor Treffel said the events at Hue
had modified the situation in relation to
China, and he therefore moved an adjourn
ment of the debate on the Chinese peace
treaty.
M. De Freycinet opposed the motion and
the Chamber sustained his objection. ,
London, July 6. Parliament reassem
bled to day. In the House of Commons,
Mr. Bradlaugh, escorted by Messrs: La
bouchere and Burt, both Radicals, ad
vanced to the table with the purpose of
. taking the oath. To this Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, Chancellor of the Exchequer, inter
posed objection. He said the House was
strongly of the feeling that Mr. Bradlaugh
should not be allowed to go through the
form of taking the oath. He then moved
that Mr. Bradlaugh be refused permission
to swear, and that the Sergeant-atrArms be
directed to exclude him from the precincts
of the House, unless he engaged not to
disturb the proceedings. The motion was
Adopted 263 to 219. ,
' In the House of Lords the Marquis of
Salisbury said he would continue the-policy
adopted"by Mr.; Gladstone in regard to the
. convention with Russia for the settlement,
of the Afghan frontier question. f
. The Marquis of Salisbury, in moving an
adjournment of the House.said it would be
convenient to explain, the condition of one
or two important questions which greatly
affected foreign affairs and the position of
England. The matter of greatest import
ance, he said, was the recent . negotiations
with Russia .in regard to the frontier of
Afghanistan. :The business of the Govern
ment was not now., to consider or comment
on the past. It was their business to take
up the policy of their predecessors and
conduct it to an issue consistent with pub
lic interests. Then it was, not their .busi
ness to enter into any controversy reuard
- inn that policy. It must be observed, he
said, that there were ?very clear restrictions
upon the action ot the present Government,
.arising from the fact that they had assumed
office at a time when certain matters were
: drawing near an end; the-reeult-being that
many pledges were,given; and the first
duty of any -government was to see that
the pledges which , an English government
' had given should be observed. Coitinu
: ing, Salisbury said. . that , as . far . as
; -he had had an opportunity of judging, the
negotiations between Russia and England
' had been conducted with an earnest desire
:. to arrive. at an adequate settlement; but he
was bound to say that negotiations had hot
. gone far enough to enable him to speak
positively. He must ask their Lordships
riot to attach too much importance to,these
-., negotiations as final and conclusive, even
when concluded. The whole condition of
affairs in Central Assia was very unsatls-
. factory and uncertain. We hope, he said.
to arrive at an amicable settlement of the
difference in regard to the Zulficar pass,
,wnicn England had promised the Ameer
wonld be included in Afghanistan. A What
naa been promised must be kept. What
ever settlement might be arrived at, it was
our duty tfcstill fully devise and vigorously
. carry out measures for the defence of the
xuumtt ironuer; furthermore, we should
stretch out beyond, so that when the tide
- irZZ -JSr -11 wm not come near our de

Annaraites at Hue are preparing to make a
fresh attack on his position. The General
jexprcsses confidence in his ability to hold
out against the Annamites until reinforced.

nan Rhrtfifiid has iorwaraea to xne
War Department a dispatch from Col.
Bradley, in which the latter says: The
Mescalaro Apaches in the vicinity of South
eastern New Mexico are becoming restless,
because their supplies are giving out.
At the present time they have uoth-.
ing but beef and short " rations. In
communicating the above dispatch Gen.
Schofield said as there are as many
Indian difficulties as the troops were able
to handle, he thought if tbe Indian bureau
could not furnish supplies to these Indians
the army had better feed them out of their
stores, and charge the amount to the Indian
bureau. Secretary Lamar consented to
this proposition and Gen. Schofield was
directed to issue rations from the military
stores at the post where trouble is threat
ened. A prominent officer here says all the In
dians are restless, and the truth is the go
vernment is not half feeding them and they
must do something or starve. ' Besides,
they are cheated out of half they do get by
collusion between dealers and agents.
Secretary Lamar has been confined to his
home several days . by a severe cold, but
has so far improved, he expects to be at
his desk to-morrow.
Sen or Jorge Holquin, Envoy Extraordi-,
nary and ' Miaister Plenipotentiary from

the President. Senor Holquin said in his
speech to the President that "the principal
object ot his mission was to convey to this
Government the especial thanks of Colom
bia for the generous . and loyal interpreta
tion of existing treaties between the two-
countries." In his reply President Cleve
land expressed the good will this country
had always borne towards Colorab'a, which
it had had an opportunity to put in practi
cal form during the recent disturbances on

By Telegraph to tbe Morning Star. I .
Washington, D. C. r July 6. A. report
received here to-day from Woodbridge,
Va., regarding the fatal fire which occurred
near there on last Saturday morning, says
there were eight persons in the house at
the time: Joseph Harrison, his -wife and
two children, Samuel Harrison, and a Mrs.
Bailey and sister, and a Miss Bailey. Mrs.
Harrison got up during the night to get her
oldest child a drink of water, and does not
remember whether she afterwards blew the
light out or not She afterwards discover
ed the house on fire and called her hus
band, who got up and took his two chil
dren and called his brother Samuel.
Then he and his wife and Mrs. Bailey and
the baby and Miss Bailey started down
stairs. Samuel caoSe down and started to
the front door. When he entered the
Lfront room the smoke and beat
were . so great he felL but finally suc
ceeded in crawling across to the other room
and got out of the .back door. He could,
not find any of the others nor hear anything
ot thenv ana be called the neighbors, who
soon arrived and knocked the front door in
with an axe and got Mrs. Harrison and the
two children out. The heat was so intense
they could not go back after the rest. An
other neighbor had gone in and pulled Jo
seph Harrison and Mrs. Bailey out of a
window, but did. not know Mrs. Bailey's
baby was still there, so it burned to death.
The others were carried to a neighboring
house, where Harrison's youngest child
died about 11 a. m. Saturday. Joseph
Harrison and; his other child have since
died. The other injured ones are still
alive, but the doctors have little hope of
Mrs. Harrison's recovery.

Lkavenworth, Kahsas, July 6. Ro

complaints of the Indians are chiefly
against cattle companies which have leased
lands from the Chevennes and Araoahoes.
He believes that before long there will be a
general Indian war, and that the Indians
might as well . die fighting as to be driven
about and hemmed in and starved bv the
whites. The war, he sys, will begin with
the Cheyennes and Arapahoesand then the
Comanches, Apaches and Kiowas and
other tribes will join- them, and fight even
