some distance back from the coast. The
city has walls about it and Is said to look
much like one of the fortified towns of
Europe of the Seventeenth Century. 1t is
divided into two parts. the city and sub
rrbs. The city stands on a square island,
formed On three sides by the river ard on
the other by a canal. 1t has Notifications

the fortifications the Government officials
live. Here are the courts of justice, the
observatory. the library, the mandarfn's
college. and tie palace Of the Council of
State. Further back In the city. inside an
other wall. are the palaces Of the King and
his harcm. These palaces are somewhat
like those Of Pekin. being covered with
yellow tiles. Only the King has a right to
a yellow roof; the mobiles being restricted
to red. The suburbs and that part CT ths

from what the French officials here say
I can see they are looking at Siam with
greedy eyes. Along in the ninetfes they
took possession of some of the Laos States
at the north of that country. I am told
they would like to swallow up the whole
Of It, for 1t is exceedingly rich. They have
also the Province of Cambodla, which lies
between Cochin China, and Siam being
easily reached from here by the Mekong
River. The people of Cambodia are much
like the Siamese, and they were in the
Fast far superior to any others Of South
eastern Asia. The ruins of the ancient
city of Anskor are almost equal to those
of Java or East India The Cambodians are
BIlddhists, like the Siamsse They believe
in polygamy, and every rich man has
numerous wives.
The country Is governed by a King under
the protection of the French, and who gov
ems as they direct. The capital is In the
heart of the kingdom on the Mekong River.
1t is just about as large as Saigon, but
through the irfiuence of the French 1t is
far advanced for an Asiatic town. A part
of the Kings palace is in European style,
and there are steam workshops adjoining
1t, superintendent by French engineers. The
French have charge Of the treasury, the
customs and the public works, and under
them the city has been drained and made
sanitary.

In the Stores and Markets
OF King Money Changers.

Saigon Is the halfway station between
the Chinese and East Indian worlds. You
are here on the threshold OF India. and you
find many of the characters and customs of
that country. Much OF the business is done
in bazaarlike cells similar to those of CAL
cutta and Bombay, and in them dark-faced
HindOOs or Killings squat with their goods
piled about them calling out TO the foreign
er: 'Sahib. please buy!' The market is
like a great bazaar, in which the people sit
in cells surrounded by their merchandise.
Outside the market houses are money
changers and many jewelry stores. for the
people nut most of their savings into jew
elry. Indeed. bracelets and anklets are the
banks of the people.
The chief money changers are Kings as
black as the ace of spades. They sit be-
hind tables with piles of gold. silver and
copper before them. The silver is in the
French coinage and the denominations are
81, 20 cents. 10 cents and 5 cents. while the
copper coins are cents and fifth cents. each
coin ha n a hole through it so that 1t can
be strung upon strings.
I spent some time going through the
markets. Many of the dealers are girls In
black clothes, each with a collar of silver
ankles and wrists. Many OF the women
were sewing. and outside the Chinese cob
blers were squatting on the stones mend
irg shJes. In tho meat market l saw "A
score of Chinese butchers selling pork and
beef by the pound. They were bare TO the
waist. and their fat yellow backs were spot
ted with white drops of perspiration. some
OF them wore bracelets of Jade. silver and

present the best OF the rice mills are owned
by Chinese rather than Frenchmen.
Indeed. the French are now doing much
to develop their colonies. They are trying
TO extend the railroads of Tonking into
China and claim the southern part Of the
Chinese Empire as their sphere Of influence.

South Asia. 1t chips something like I0o. eco
tons of coal annually to Hong-Kong and 1t

Governor General of Indo-

1t is In Torking that the French Governor
General of ~Indo-China resides. He has his
capital at Hanoi, on the Songkoi or Red

town has more than 100000 people. Of whom
less than a thousand are Europeans and
about $500 Chinese. The remainder are
Anamite:. Hanoi has steamship connection
with HoTg-Kong. and steamers run on up
the Red River as far as the boundary OF

Notwithstanding its small European pop

French newspapers. a race course, a pub

Government offices. and also the barracks. a
hospital and the residence Of the Gov

Cholon Has Twice the
Population of Saigon.

A few miles from Saigon Is the native
town OF Cholon. which Is about twice as
large as Saigon tself. The two are con-
nected by a steam tramway. which has
trains every few minutes. The round trip Is
eight miles, and the first-class fare is equal
to 9 cents, American.
Leaving the city, you ride for miles
through a vast Chinese graveyard. The
country is peppered with tombs and mounds
and the road cuts its WY through the
graves. 1t takes about twenty minutes to
20 from one place TO the other. the train
landing you in the heart Of ChoIon.

much like a Chinese town. the more i'm
portant OF the business houses being run by
Chinese. The most of the goods IS Chinese,
and ! ,ooked In vain for anything valuable
of native manufacture. The porcelain
seemed TO be from Canton. as were also
the silks. 1 saw French watches and clocks
in some of the stores. and among the dry
goods pieces from England. Germany and
France. l looked in vain for anything
American. and | doubt whether this trade
is worked at all by our people. Still the
French have in Farther India over -. 100000
souls, and the market should ne worthy of
study. There is a good chance for electrical
machinery, especially electric light plants.
In Cholon / found half a dozen large steam
rice mills all lighted by electricity.
Cochin China One of the
Granaries of Asia.
Cochin China is one Of the granaries of
Asia, and the same can be. said OF Anam,
Tonking and Cambodia. The soil Is rich
and vast quantities Of rice are exported.
Rice is the foundation of the wealth of the
people. 1t IL Saigon's chief export, enough
going out every year to give a pound of
rice to every man. woman and child IN
the world. Notwithstanding this I am told
that less than two-fifths Of the rice land
is used. Cochin China has something like
!, 70O,O 900 acres in rice and 5000 600 acres OF
rice lands are available. The French say
that they hope to make the country the

Overcame All Paternal Objections
and Married Princess Helen.

With characteristic firmness and decision
he evercame the difficulties and objections
/ placed In his way by his father and the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. who wished
to find a bride for the future King of Italy
in one Of the great Courts of Europe in
stead Of in the small and obscure Principal
ity of Montenegro. After a very short
lapse of time, almost in a few days, the
Prince of Naples carried his point and
married. Princess Helen.
Even the "Chauvinism'' Of the italian peo-
pie. who expected their future Queen to
come from one of the great States of Eu-
rope, was appeased by the thought that 1t
was a love match And = love match
1t was indeed.
Both as Crown Prince and Princess and
as Sovereigns OF Italy, King Victor En-
manuel and Queen Helen desire nothing SO
much as to live exclusively In their home
circle.

Emmanuel Says His Executive
Work Is Tedious.
How tyrannicaIly short Is the time which
can now be devoted to those delightful ex-
cursions! The difficulty which KIM VIC
tor Emmanuel finds in staying away Tor a
long period from the affairs of state has
also forbidden him those long cruises in the
Mediterranean and in the North Sea. when
the ropal couple delighted in conoealing
all traces Of the precise whereabouts OF
their yacht Savoia. ITO be sovereign is a
tedious business" frequently exclaims Vic
tor Emmanuel. But If his duties as head
of the state no longer allow him to indulge
in long holidays far from the world" King
Victor Emmanuel always tries to conciliate
his duties as a sovereign with his lively
desire to enjoy the quiet ''menage a deux'
with Queen Helen.
Thus he prefers long sojourns in the royal
castles Racconiggi or of Capo di Monte.
where he is only disturbed from time TO
time by visit from his Ministers. all other
