manently several native chiefs. In
northern Nigeria one or more is de-
ported from his territories pretty near
~ every year. In part of this unset
tled region slave raiding is still preva-
rent large armies led by native chief
talns taking the field frequently for
the purpose of collecting slaves. In
I9OO the country was terribly ravaged
An expedition was sent against the
raiders, with the result that the Emirs
of Bida and Kontagora were deposed
and sent to Mauritius, where they now
live in gilded chains.
Exiles of the Bahrein Islands.
Even the Bahrein Island, a tiny
archipelago in the Persian Gulf. have
been the subject of the exile of a
bunch of royal personag es. The pres
ent ruler of these islands, Sheikh Esa,
was placed on the throne by Great
Britain in 1867. He found trouble in
keeping his seat on it, and three years
later had to appeal to the British for
help and protection. A protectorate
was formally declared, and all his ri
Vals-mostly princes of his own family
were removed to India, where some
of them are still living. Sheikh Esa
has led peaceful life since then.
The present Maharajah of Sikkim,
an Indian feudatory state in the Him
alayas, on the road to Tibet, was COM
PEELED for some years to live in Brit
ish India, under the surveillance of
British officers. A protectorate was
proclaimed over his country in 1889 by
agreement between the Viceroy of In
dia and the Chinese authorities. A
British officer was sent to the Mahar-
ajah's court to "advise" him in gov
erning the state-in reality to rule,
with His ROuaI IJiChpaSc v1Ynvaf
Naturally the Maharajah did not like
it. He kicked against the pricks, and
the British residents life was in dan
ger for some time. A body of Anglo
Indian troops arrived in Sikkim at the
psychological moment, and the Maha-
rajah was taken away to India. Re
Gently he has been allowed to return,
but he is not permitted to participate
in the government of the country.
Some Exiles Kept at Home.
Not all England's royal exiles are
deported from the land of their birth
for political reasons, however. Some
times they are deposed and exiled in
punishment for crime. This has
happened to few of the feudatory
native princes of India and to several
of the black chiefs in South Africa.
The most notable case of this kind
happened in 1898. Khudadad, the
Khan of Kalat and principal chief OF
Beloochistan, was a firm ally and
faithful vassal of the Indian govern
ment He received subsidies amount
ing to about 100000 rupees year. and
had rules since 1876 to the satisfaction
Of the British. He was regarded as
a model of a native prince.
But eventually Khudadads Oriental
spirit had to break out. He murdered
his own prime minister and other sub
jects. The crime was clearly brought
home to him by the British agent in

Beloochistan. Indeed, Khudadad did
not trouble to deny it. He said
he was a king, anyway, and why
shouldn't he kill off a few of his peo-
pie if they annoyed him?
There was some talk of imprison-
ing him for life, and even of hang
ing him; but it was thought that such
action would enrage the other native
princes. So Khudadad was permitted
to abdicate and live in exile in Brit
ish India. He is still there, and his
son, Mir Mahmud Khan, reigns in his
stead.
Queen RnnnaIOna's Extravaganza.
The French keep many royalties in
exile, even without counting the nu-
merous prtenders to the throne of
France. The greatest of them is
Queen Ranavalona III, the deposed
sovereign of Madagascar. The French
conquered her country in 1896, and in
1897 she was deposed by Gen. Gallieni
At first it was proposed to allow her
to remain in Madagascar but the Ho-
vas were still restless, and a month
after her deposition she was deported
to the island of Reunion, whence in
1899 she was transferred to Algiers.
Her coffee-colored majesty has lived
there ever since in great style, MAIN
tanning an elaborate court out of the
handsome allowance made to her by
the French government. The French
officials treat her as a reigning queen.
Two years ago, in response to her ur-
gent entreaties, she was permitted to
go to Paris and do some shopping. She
cut great figure on the boulevards,
and was immensely popular, but she
spent so much money and ran up such
enormous bills that the Colonial Of
flee became alarmed and promptly
shipped her back to Algiers.
Behanzin of Dahomey in Martinique.
Behanzin, ex-King of Dahomey, the
gentleman who used to ornament his
palace with stacks of human skulls.
is now prisoner at Fort de France,
Martinique. He was deposed by the
French in 1894, after a fierce little
war. He is an old man now, and is
allowed to wander about freely and
talk to the tourists who visit Marti-
nique. He is generally to be found
around the saloon of one of the hotels
in Fort de France, and is always ready
to play a game of billiards or accept
the offer of a cocktail.
Behanzin's neighbor and brother
monarch, the King of Abomey at first
submitted to the French and was al
lowed to retain his throne under con-
troll of French resident. In 1900,

The "BIacl< Napoleon" of Bornu.
Rabah, the "black Napolean" of
Bornu and Bagirmi, escaped exile at
the hands of the French by being slain
in battle in February four years ago
His sons kept up the fight for an
other year, but they were beaten, and
are now kept in captivity on the Ivory
Coast.
