the Ameer's country is about twice as large
as New York state and contains about 4,OO0.-

been Of great Importance Ia England. and She
would not be easy II the Ameer were not wholly
under her influence, as Abdur Rahman Khan
has been since the British withdrew their forces
from the interior Of the country in 1880
The Ameer was only about fifty years old. lie
was an absolute monarch. was an industri riOus
and a progressive man. introduced recently a
number Of European manu- ufacturing enterprises,
and his great merit in the eyes Of the
English has been that he was faithful
20 them and did not intrigue with tho
Russians. lie had no surviving children by his
Queen. but In 1887 he was the father Of five
children by four OF his cOnCubines. The eldest
of these, Habibullah, in the absence Of legiti-
