The Governor of the West coast of Sumatra has sent in an interesting report concerning the emancipation of the lures in the Tapanuli residency. It was foreseen that greater diff culties would arise there than in the Padang bigblande, because the alives or slave debtora were a considerable aquseo of income in Tapa- noli, and the epoint position of the headmon was determined by the number of slaves they possessed. The Battake and Mandhelingers Ebars are 180 more sovetous than the sireniated Malaye. Thane beadmen bere amoogst the slaves the rumour that the Government intended to hay the latter from their owners in orders to send the unus Bol diers to Anheen and make the women prostitutes, The anreet amongst - there, slaves, 20,000 in number, was great.
