known as the durbar, or crowning of

question rose of preparing suitable
toilets for the grand event. Miss Daisy
unhesitatingly said that she would
obtain all she needed in Chicago. It
has been stated that Mrs. and Miss
Letter carried with them abroad the
most complete wardrobe ever taken
from this country. Twenty-Five
trunks were required for the gowns,
and other less delicate articles were
sent in shipping boxes. In order to
avoid any misunderstanding, either
on arriving in England, where they
first landed, or on their return to
this country, Mr.. Letter had = 'om-

gowns, jewels and lingerie and placed
copy in the hands of the Unitesl
States customs officers in New York
and sent another copy to the off

the domin ating background, the impe-
rial government probably thought that
Somaliland, which holds the principal
gate to Abyssinia, the while it divides
with Alden the command of the carre-
four of the Red sea, should not re-
main a subsidiary concern of colo
NAL administration. Unfortunately,
the provision of the imperial govern
ment did not 60 beyond taking the pro-
tectorate under it's immediate wing.
Although an immense region has been
marked off as British, in" virtue of
treaties with Abyssinia and Italy,
nothing was done to occupy the coun-
try outside the coast towns. The re-
suit was that the Arab sheiks, left to
themselves, were free to plot against
the suzerain, and early in 1899 these
plots came to a head in the agitation
of the Mullah Mohammed ,Abdul1ah,
who proclaimed himself mahdi, and
called upon the faithful to rise and
drive the Giaour into the sea. The
disaffection spread over an immense
y area. simultaneously with the move
ment of the Mullah in the south of the
Somaliland protectorate, the sheiks
in the northern provinces of British
East Africa became rebellious. Con-
sequently, in 1899 two expeditions had
to be organized, one against the Oga
den sheiks and sultans in Jubuland,
and the other against the Mullah.
The Ogaden was effectually pacified
and the Mullah was several times de-
feated and forced to take refuge in
Italian territory. Thereupon the
British retired once more to the coast,
hoping that the Mullah would profit
by his lesson. Last January, how
ever, he broke out again, and another
expedition mad to be organized. This
is the expedition which came to grief
the other day at Ergo. 1t is very clear
from all this that the policy of shelv-
ing responsibility for the direct adj
ministration of the .protectorate is a
failure, and that henceforth it will be
necessary to hold the country with q
strong hand. Happily the enterprise
is one which will we'll repay its cost.
The markets of the interior are of
considerable value, and if once tran
quillity is assured the trade of the
ports will be enormously increased.
Apart from this it is to be remembered
that the strategical value of the coast
must be rendered altogether nugatory
so long as the interior is held by a
hostile people bent on rendering Eng
lands position untenable, or, at any
rate. subject of anxiety.
