He ascended the throne on the death of his father, Sidi Moham- med, which occurred on the 20th of September, 1876, at the age of little more than 30, when, already distin- guished for his personal valor and good generalship, he defeated his rivals and stringently put down all attempts at revolt. He Is now n years of age though his commanding figure would almost make one think him great deal less, did not his face wear lines that show not only the steady approach of years, but also sure signs of pain and suffering. He possesses 6,OOO wives, whom he keeps in haremS at Fez, Mo- rocco and Methues. He also has q travelling harem, which constantly at tends him. His life is simple, as Is all life in Morocco, but at the same time, when occasion demands, he can appear in such state that scarcely court in Europe can rival

Eight years have elapsed since the taking of the last census was con- pleted and all the reports are not pub lished yet. The field of inquiry should be limited within the bounds of reason hereafter.
