Among the nations invited by the United States to co-operate in suppressing the trade was the United States of Colombia.

Mr. Anderson, our minister, expressed "the certain belief that the Republic of Colombia will not permit herself to be behind any Government in the civilized world in the adoption of energetic measures for the suppression of this disgraceful traffic": _Ibid._, No. 407, p. 729. The little republic replied courteously; and, as a _projet_ for a treaty, Mr.

Anderson offered the proposed English treaty of 1824, including the Senate amendments. Nevertheless, the treaty thus agreed to was summarily rejected by the Senate, March 9, 1825: _Ibid._, p. 735. Another result of this general invitation of the United States was a proposal by Colombia that the slave-trade and the status of Hayti be among the subjects for discussion at the Panama Congress. As a result of this, a Senate committee recommended that the United States take no part in the Congress. This report was finally disagreed to by a vote of 19 to 24: _Ibid._, No. 423, pp. 837, 860, 876, 882.

Woman: Man's Equal Part 10

Are you someone who likes about Woman: Man's Equal Part 10? Then this article is what you should be looking for. Woman: Man's Equal is a Webnovel created by Thomas Webster. This lightnovel is currently completed. Which of our living authors possesses a more terse or vigorous style than Gail Hamilton? And where are more self-sacrificing spirits to be found than in those bands of lady missionaries, worthy successors of Harriet Newell and Ann Ha.s.seltine Judson, who every year leave our coasts to carry the Gospel to heathen lands? Large numbers of clever women are attracting the attention of the thinking people of both England and America, not only as public speakers and leaders of much-needed reforms, but for the honorable position to which they have attained in literary and scientific circles and in the arts. The scenes, however, in which they are the active partic.i.p.ants are still transpiring; and therefore these women, some of them both honorable and great, in the bes...

A policeman came in and the counselor motioned to Putsyn: "Put him in the pre-trial cells." "You can't prove it," said Putsyn. His face was sunken and frightened. "I think we can," said the counselor indifferently. "You don't know the efficiency of our laboratories. You'll talk." When Putsyn had been removed, Borgenese turned. "Very good work, Luis. I'm pleased with you. I think in time you'd make an excellent policeman. Retro detail, of course." Luis stared at him. "Didn't you listen?" he said. "I'm Dorn Starret, a cheap crook." In that mental picture of Starret he'd had, he shou...
