THE SOCIAL EVIL IN THE COLONIES.

Marshal Booth's Investigations.

As Marshal Booth has admittedly been making systematic inquiry into tho natuco and extent of thosoeial evil in theso colonies, for tho purpose of applying the -same reme dial measures that have been successfully tried by Mrs Booth in England, a reporter from this ollice interviewed him one day last wool, on tho subject. Tho Marshal received our representative with his habitual courtesy, and roadily onough explained tho general ollbot and character of tho information ho bad gleaned. Wo reproduce in his own words tho salient points of his disclosures.

Fashionable Prostitutes. "One of the chief thing., that have struck mo in connection with tlio social evil in theso colonies is tho fact that tho fallen women appear to bo divided into throo classes, Thero is a high class, co to speak, a middlo class, and a low class, the latter being largely reinforced from tho sowers of society. 1 havo found in tho leading "Hash" houses, females of considerable education and talont, many of them having an extensive knowledge of languages. In ono "swell " placo that I visited I found young Indies who could play music brilliantly, who could speak Eroneh Iluontly, and who pos sessed all tho gifts and breeding qualifying them to converse intelligently with mon of the highest ordor and position. Tho land ladies or keepers of theso places aro gene rally very attontive and considerate to their fem-Io lodgers, for, of course, it is to thoir interest to be so. So far as I could judge, tho only form of restraint that thoy exer cised was to get tho girls into their debt, and to keop them in it if possible. It usually happens, howovor, that aftor a period of service more or less prolonged, tho koopor gets tirod of or.o or moro of his or her ladies, and in such cases they aro unceremoniously turned adrift. Tho causos of this oxpulsion are principally inebriety, sickness, or want of means, and tho gins who aro thus sent adrift generally sink into a lower class of thoir _ kind. In some cases they stoadily sink until thoy reach the lowest stratum of all ; but these aro the exceptions, not tho rulo. Tho lead ing "Hush" houses aro screened from public observation. The young ladies to be found under their roofs and in their drawing-rooms never parade tho ttioots. They walk out like other fashionablo ladies, or else drive in tlio thoroughfares liko tho wealthiest of tlio community." Quo-tionod closely as to the class of people who patronised and supported theso establishments, tho Marshal said that ho had seou members of Parliament and ovon ministers of religion in them. The fact was appalling, but nevertheless true. During a visit tluit ho had paid in ono city to a parti cular establishment of the kind, ho was told that two of the leading merchants of tho district wero in the adjacont room, Upon hearing from ono of tho young ladios of tho Marshal's presence in the house, thoy ex claimed, "For Cod's sake, let it not bo known that wo are l.oro !" and then boat a retreat by the back entrance Tlio Middlo and Lowor Castes.

Tho Marshal wont on to say :— Thoro is a largo class of prostitute- who, on the ono hand, aro not so stylish and fashiouablo as to be termed " Hash,"and, on tho other hand, havo not sunk to tho degra dation of tho ill-clad strcot-walkor. 1 should say that, for tho most part, it is composed of ,-l.iop-girls, daughters oi tho very poor who have been driven from their homes through some qua.rol or domestic disturbance, and young unprotected orphans. The women of tho lowest class associate cither with Europeans of tho vilest character or with Chinamen, and their habitations are dens of infamy and veritable hotbeds of vice. So far as tho male Euro peans of this class arc concerned, I havo found thorn in some cities of this colony, and in Melbourne, Sydnoy, and Adolaido, to be ns vicious as tho worst of tho Chinoso.

Influeiico of tho Chinosc. Xc poilci: Do you think that tho Chinoso oni.'angi'i' the morality of a community ? Marshal Booth : Well, tho Chinoso loud Mich openly vicious lives in thoir own coun ti\ thai the can hardly ho expected to iii'lluenco our' morals lor good. I wish it to bo clearly uiideislu.,,l, hull ever, that 1 do not regard one whit moio gravely the inlluence and conduct of tho Chinese than 1 do the inlluuuco and conduct of tho im moral Europeans.

Kopeiter ; In what -way do Iho Chinese contrive to ensnare European females?

Mai.-lull Booth : The Chinese as a raco arc very Kind anil obliging That may not bo Lri-nor.il I\' known, for their features look haul anil lopollant, but you will find that I am right. Speaking now of Australia exclusively, thoy go tho rounds of tho cities either as hucksters or as market gardenors, and in this way they aro brought into contact with femalo domestics and other girls at, their homes. Through rogulur visita tion they scrape up acquaintanceship, and then they press the girls to visit (hem out cf cuiiosity at their homes. Now vim are not to imagine that they live in mcro sod hovels. Their cottages are comfortably furnished, and i" somo cares Uixuiiously so. Onco there, tho foolish girls aro plied with wino or tempted with opium, and by these means thoir ruin is made easy. And theso young womon— as is invariably the case—being averse to work, and finding Iho Chinese willing to offer them tin idle life, with plenty of attention, yield themselves up to it. More than that, they become enslaved by opium ; and no iiitluoncc is harder to copo with than that of this drug. Wo havo had in our Homes cases of young women who havo literally screamed for opium, and who havo exhibited Iho utmost violonco when it was denied them. Howovor, Ido not wish to say anything harsh of tho Chinese, for I am about, to start Army operations amongst them in their own country. In ordor to do that effectually, I shall havo to oat their food and adopt their dress. Tho Curso of Drink. Almost as debasing, and far moro wide spread among Europeans, aro tho ovils resulting from iiidulgonco in strong drink And this iiidulgonco in spirits scorns to bo 'inseparably associated with tho social evil. I havo been shocked, aye, appalled, to learn the amount of liquor that is consumed in theso Hash houses. 1 wont into ono of them in company with a constablo not many weeks since—l should blush to say whoro— and I found that ono young lady had drunk -iillieient to intoxicato a hardened nnd long accustom od drinkor. It is no uso saying how much sho had consumod, for I would hardly bo credited. It was foarful ! fearful ! fearful I Of course, hor intellect was affected, and her system generally con siderably woakoned, but I succooded in getting hor away, thank Heaven ! Ono Cause of Prostitution. In ro-oronco to this matter, tho Marshal said that so far as ho could judge, seduction was ono of tho chief moans whereby tho highor caste of prostitutes was recruited. Young ladies of respectable families, away from homo in positions of trust, were seduced by designing mon, and thon left to shift for themselves. Onco ruined for lifo, the poor victims rarely caro to return homo. Tho Marshal proceeded: --" I have in my mind tho caso of a Swiss young lady, and it is a typical one. Sho was a lady of culture as well as of means. Yiolding to tho por suasions of a gentleman friend in Switzer land, sho visited tho nearest town in his company. He effected her ruin thore, nnd in consequence sho came out to tho colonies in the hope of screening herself from further evil. Sho foil into tho wrong socioty, how ever, nnd for somo timo aftorwnrds lived in a "Hash" houso until visited by tho district major of our Army. By his ad vice, sho was induced to givo up her lifo of shame nnd sorrow. In these ' houses' I have myself found tho daughters of clergy men, of lcidini: merchants, of magistrates, and of judges. Speaking generally of this clasH of distinguished prodigals, I again say that seduction, whon away from home, was tho chief cause of their descont to pro stitution. Why, I know of one such girl who was soduced by a clergyman. That is awful enough, is it not? There are somo of theso girls who novor sink to tho second stratum, Their paronta keop writing to thorn—fathers with grey hairs, and mothors with brokon hearts—and they so plead with and implore them to roturn homo that tho erring daughters aro won homo again. The Decoy System. Reporter : Do you think that there is any systematic effort made in tho colonies to luro away girls for immoral purposes ? Marshal Booth : Yes, nnd it is this that has caused my blood to boil with indigna tion 1 should blush to toll or to havo put in tho public papers some, of tho things that come under my notice. Ono ot out majors was handed, only tho other week, the por trait of a littlo girl not much over eight years of age, who had been decoyed from home. We'searched for her the best part of a night in company with detectives, but did not lind her. Happily, however, for tho parents, and fortunately for the ruffians who had kidnapped her, she was quietly re turned home immediately afterwards. We shall never forget the scream of delight with which the poor mother welcomed back that Child.

How Recruits aro Procured. Reporter : Aro you aware of the'«"*»*£ in the colonies of any procurora or piocur eßSZi f:hai rßo_Ui: I believe there aretlioso having tho caro or oversight of public brothels that make it their secret .business to increase the number of young girls ho aro used in thia iniquitous trade I know for a fact that many young girls on arriving n strange towns, have been accosted on tho wharf or at the railway Nation by persons of the character you have referred to Ael sneak thoro occurs to my mind a caso in win A young girl arrived by tho tram in of your colonial towns from an up country district, and °n disembarkinglooked about for the friends whom she expected to have met her. A n affable and well-dressed genUemn, observing her i""'^.^ ftrolled up, and with, easy confidence asked her where sho was going. The girl inno contly replied thatsho had expected f.lends to meet 1 or, but that either owing to delay orthroVhbeing misinformed astothot.moof her arrival, they had notco.ne Accepting ho gentleman's prollbrod assistance in hnd ing thorn sho allowed Imn to take hor to a hotol for refrosh ment. At tho hotel sho was introduced to tho landlady, who aeeinod kindly and well disposed. Of course* the friends could not be found, and the girl being given to under stand that tho hotol was a quiet and highly reputable establishment, consented to spend the night there, her friends if possible being mean while apprised of her whereabouts As a matter of fact brandy was administered either in her tea or lemonade, and tho poor thing romembers little more except thatsho awoke next morning to find that her ruin had boon effected. Lot this case speak for itsolf. I could hardly be asked after this ii thoro ia not somo well-planned system carried on in theso colonies of ensnaring virtuous young womon. Thero havo been eights that I havo witnessed in theso sunny landa whicli I am verUy ashamed to record. Do not let us mako a stringent law for thO weaker sex and a lax ono for tho stronger. With tho Hon. Samuol Morloy I would liko to sco it mado felony for a man to dare to steal tho children of tho unprotected poor. Femalo Rcscuo Brigades. I did not intend lo at onco inaugurate Femalo Rescuo Brigades, as I desired first to systematise othor branches of our move ment, but through tho facts that have been brought undor my notico of lato, I am positively compelled—in justice to dis tressed fathers and mothers, to say nothing of helpless cbiklreiv-to institute somo female roseuo organisations in eevoral of the largo cities.

Sydney and Wellington

lam especially concerned about. Gentle men of inlluenco have assured mo that in Sydnoy little girls of 12, 13, and 15 years, aro used in this loathsome and terrible trade. I havo just received a lottor _ from our Major there, and ho states in if that, in obe'dienco to my advice to start a Fctnalo liescuo Brigade and Hcimo, ho has taken a houso of 15 rooms, and I should cay that it would accommodate from 35 to 40 females. It is not advisable than such Homes should bo located within the city or its immediate precincts, as tho contres of their formor vicious life would he too ac cessible to tho inmates, and thoir old associates lnitfht be only too successful in tempting them back again. Our pro posed .Sydney Homo has theroforo boen selected outsido the city, nnd all who at tempt similar work would do woll to follow our example in this respect. From all parts of the colonios I havo roeoived ex pressions of cordial sympathy with our reformatory operations in this field of work, and tho warmest assurances of prac tical support if wo will but porsevero with it. Tlio Colonios and Mother Country Com pared. Koportor: Is it your opinion that tlio social evil is, proportionately to population, as prevalent in tho colonies as in Kngland ? Marshal Booth: Speaking ponerally, 1 am sui-o that it is. Of courso, tho colonies would eou-paro favourably in this rospoct with such cities as London, Liverpool, und Nottingham, where prostitution is particu larly rampant; but taking tho avoruge of tho wholo kingdom, 1 think it no worso than tho colonies As to New Zealand itself, I havo not sullieient experience to . poak with authority, but judging from tho two or threo of your citios that I have been in, 1 should say that, in proportion to its population, it was noarly as bad as Aus tralia. Tlio Social Evil in Auokland. Reporter: Have you mado any porsonal investigations into tho oxtont of tho social ovil in Auckland ? Marshal Booth : No ; I havo not as yot, butlam in receiptof information concerning it. For instance, 1 hoard yostorday from ono or two roliablo sources about the houses of ill-famo in your city, nnd thero is cor tainly great room for improvement. Through tho workers in tho local Female Heseuo Brigade, I havoboenmado acquainted with things hero which would shock the most stalwart hearted. Drink, in thoso casos as in others, appears to bo tho close hand maid of vice. I cannot but, agree and con fess with my mother (who has a keen insight into this widespread ovil) that tho brothels and the public-houses go hand-in-hand, so to speak. I havo beon told of ono bad house in this city (that is gol ting to closo quarters, Mr Koportor), whoroin seven young women wero found with men, and sovoral of theso young women, I was aghast to lcurn, woro in a stato of intoxica tion, Theso places of inebriety and im morality aro well-known to our -workers, but I. refrain from mentioning nnmos, as I would liko to afford bolh timo and oppor tunity to those who aro seeking to rescue tho unreseucd.

General Particulars. In answer to further inquiries, tho Mar shal said that ho had hoard that girls were imported into Australia from New Zoaland for immoral purposes, but ho could not vouch for tho correctness of tho statement. His oxporienco went to show that tho older pros titutes woro the moredifficultof reclamation by reason of tho hold which their love of drink had upon them. Ho madoit a practice tovlsit tho houses of ill-famo, and ho was in variably treated with tho profoundost rospoct and tho utmost courtesy by tho inmate.'-. In largo measure ho attributed this to tho absencoof any circumlocution in his mothods. Ue wont straight to tho point and talked plainly with tho girls. Fre quently ho was met with the rebuff, "Oh, wo want no ministers horo ?" and in such cases his roply was, "I am no minister of religion, but only Marshal Booth of the Salvation Army." Then ho would wall straight into tho sitting-room, sitdown at tho piano, and play to the girls for a timo. Get ing ono of thorn by herself, ho would spoak of hor old raothor or poor father until tho tears camo into hor eyes. Vory often being molted in this way, thoy -would go away and return to show him tho cherished portrait's of their dearost friends. Then ho would quiotly ask if thoy desired to leavo their vicious course of lifo, and offer to get thorn away at onco. Ho had novor beon insulted or disrespectfully treated by tho women, but the men in the brothels had frequently scoffed at him, or made uso of ribald remarks. In conclusion, Marshal Booth said that ho was hoping to recoivo by tho mail on Wednesday next furthor information with rospoct to iho special steps which wero being takon by tho Army in England for coping with tho social ovil Ho believod that in conso quonco of tho signal success of tho London Collar, Gutter, mid Garret Brigade, as woll as of tho Females Koscuo Band, it was the intention of his fa-he*- (tho Goneral) to inaugurate similar organisations in tho other leading cities of England.

THE WANTOF CONFIDENCE VOTE.

(BY TEI.ECBAPII— PAfeLIAMENTARV REFORTKR )

Wellington, this day. v The Government are now determined to _ proceed with the business of tho country, I And this (Monday) night will be given up to f Government bills. The Opposition, should „ thoy again show fight, will havo to await I their opportunity. If this does not occur * till tho Works Estimates aro being con- E sidorod, a determined rosistanco will * thon bo offered to the East and < West Coast railway proposals on their i merits, the Minister for Works having i already stated that tliii would not , bo troatod as a Government quostion A , glance at Friday night's division-list clearly ] shOws that the Govornmont support was ] mainly obtained from Nolson, Canterbury, , and Wostland, while the Maoris gave thorn a block voto. No opportunity was lost ot nutting boforo Maori members tho ovils that would result to tho natives from the roturn to Mr Bryco's administration. Ut the Jo members of the House, Mr Coster is in Eng- ; land, and SirG. M. O'Rorke, as Speaker, is precluded from voting. This loaves 93 possible votos, and tho division-list shows that with pairs "JO votos were rocorded. This leaves throe unaccounted for, viz Messrs Scobio McK'enS-io, Dowmo Stewart, and Roid—strangely enough, all Otago mon. The two formor practically paired, though their names wero not re ceived by the whips, Mr McKenzie for tho Government and Mr Steward against. Some explanation of the former's position is do mandod. It ia an open secret that had his health pormitted his being in his place, he would have both spoken and voted against tho Government (as I advised you), but having beon returried as a support _ of Sir Julius Vogel, and no opportunity having been afforded him of explaining his reason for deserting that now unpopular states man, ho felt as a party man that he could not voto according to his convictions. Tho correspondence which passed between tho member for Mount Ida and the Premier (and a portion of which I wired you) bears out theso conclusions. As to Mr Stewart, it is understood that ho paired against tho Government in order to secure a block vote on the East and Wost Coatt railway. The action of Mr Reid in abstain ing from voting, this boing his first big division since his election, has given rise to all sorts of unfavourable comment. Ho had promised the Opposition to vote with them, arid the Government whips had ticked him off adversely. When tho division boll waa rung, however, he waa wanting. You will thus see that the numbers wore very close, and I repeat that but for Mr McKenzie's enforced abaencoa "head" victory one way or the other would havo been Mr Speaker's decision.

ARCH HILL GULLY BRIDGE.

A lettkb has been received by a rosident at Arch Hill, from Mr T. Poacock, M.H.R. for the district, relative to tho proposed bridge across tho Arch Hill gully. It appoars that two routes aro projected, one by Com mercial Road, tho other at King street. Mr Peacock lias thoughtfully forwarded a tracing of tho bridgo, and also a copy of the Engineer's estimates, as follows :— Commercial Road: Total cost£l,l79 7s 3d, mado up as follows :—Earth work, £6SB 11a 3d ; drain pipe, £118 ; cesspits, £20 ; cross drains, £22 10s : channelling, £110 ; metal ing and scoria, £200 ; SO feet of bridge at £1 por foot, £320. King-street: Total cost £1,736 7s 6d, mado up as follows : -Earth work, £1,02117s 6d ; drainpipe, £99 ; cess pits, £20; cross drains, £16; channelling, £77 ; metalling and scoria £200 ; 60foetof bridgeat£s per foot, £300. It will bo seen by this that King-streeot will cost £257 0s 3d moro than Commercial Road. On the other hand, the grades are much in favour of King street, that being 1 in 9, whereas Commercial Road on one side is only 1 in 6, and tho other 1 in 9, tho former grade being much too serious for ordinary traffic. Another objoction is that ono side of Commercial is only 33 foot wido, which is a very serious drawback, and might bo costly to remedy. One property - ownor has, however, promised to give 25 feet in front of his property whoro ono end of tho proposed bridge would rest, but no such offer has been receivod from others. Tho groat argumont in favour of Commoi ciaHvoad is that it is tho most direct road to Kingsland district and railway-station.

At the meeting of the E Jucation Board yesterday afternoon, a memo, was read from tho Secretary, calling attention to the fact that the Gisborne Girls' High School lull had passed a third reading, but had yet to pass tho Legislative Council. Also stating that, if passed, tlio bill would take away from Auckland nearly ono half of the income from "Yosorves for secondary edu cation. By tbi s bill, reserves at and near Gishorno, which yield an annual income of £245 2s 6d, aro appropriated as an endow ment for tlio projected Gisborno Girls' High School. Tho Auckland Girls' High School was ontitled by law to endowmonts of land to tho valuo of £5,000, and tho following schools were also supposed to re ceive grants from tho samo source :—Hamil a°" .. d Gumbridpo District High Schools, Auckland Collogo and Grammar School, Jlhames High School, and tho Whangarei High School. No provision is mado in tho proposed bill to grant othor reserves in lieu of those appropriated. On tho motion of Mr Goldio, it was resolved that tho atten tion of tho Auckland members of tho Legis lative Council be called to this matter, with a request that thoy should tako action.
