THE EMPEROR MENELEK.
He Is q Very Remarkable Man in
Many Ways.

~
Many Ways.
The position of Abyssinia and its en-
peror is a very singular me-. Alone in
Africa the state has accepted, from
time immemorial, the Christian faith,
has been able to resist Mussulman ag-
gression and has shown from time to
time the capacity for organizing itself
as an orderly, though, of course, only
semi-civilized state. The present I'm
peror has carried this process much
further than any of his predecessors.
He has subdued or conciliated every
tribe within hisdominion, he has tanned
the fierce chiefs with whom Emperor
Theodore was constantly at a and he
has succeeded in forming an army
which. at all events as long as he is
victorious, is devoted to him, and
which, though o mobile beyond GER
tain limits, is within them for defensive
purposes by far the most powerful
army controlled by any African prince.
IL is said to exceed 200. 900 men in num-
Der and though that estimate probably
includes soldiers whose service could
not be relied on from harvest to harvest,
it is certain that the army faced and
overwhelmed 10000 Italian regulars.
who, though badly led, fought with
desperation and died in heaps round
their colors. Though naturally and
greatly elated by his victory, the en-
peror was not carried away by it. He
did not massacre his italian prison
ers, he did not invade Erythrea; but
he did show a desire FOR a compromise
n 9 ra,SonabIa up1ar the circumstance
as any European statesman would have
sanctioned. The victory has, of course,
greatly increased his power, and there
is more han a reasonable chance that
he may be able to consolidate it and
seat his dynasty on a throne as secure
as that of any Asiatic prince, except,
perhaps. the emperor Of China.-Lon-
don Spectator.
