RUBBER TRADE PARALYSIS IN ASHANTI. 



IT is not much of a rubber country which has not some pecuHar 

 ^ obstacle to the production of rubber, compared with which 

 the fabled Kansas grasshopper and the less fabled fear of frost 

 in the Delaware peach country are trivial. These remarks are 

 suggested by a parliamentary paper on Ashanti, which is now 

 included in British West Africa. Ashanti had become a con- 

 siderable rubber producing countrj', the figure reaching in one 

 year 1,354 tons, when a condition of affairs unexpected by the 

 white residents developed. It appears that a fetish priest at 

 Tekiman suddenly announced the imminent advent of a new 

 "god," who was to bring riches to the poor and reduce the rich 

 to abject poverty. At his coming the black man would dominate 

 the whites. He let it be known particularly that any man found 

 'tapping rubber in the forests would on the "god's" arrival be 

 turned into an antelope. The official report states : "Incredible 

 as it may appear, this impostor succeeded in paralyzing the local 

 rubber trade. He was eventually arrested and is at present de- 

 ttained in Coomassie. His fetish has fallen into disrepute, and 

 is not now heard of." 



UPRISING OF CONGO RUBBER GATHERERS. 



Reports have reached Brussels of a widespread revolt in the 

 Abir district of the Congo Free State. This is the territory held 

 under concession by the Anglo-Belgian India-Rubber and Ex- 

 ploration Co., one of the oldest trading monopolies in the state 

 and one which at times has been marvellously profitable. It is 

 stated that the natives refused to collect rubber, attacked the 

 whites, and burned several factories.
