HIDEous CRIMES OF A KING.
Thanh Thai Slowly Tortures Seven Of
His Wives to Death.

Paris.-Thanh Thai, king of AMMAN,
according to stories reaching Paris
from o-China, has again been guilty
Of such atrocities that the French
government may be compelled to adopt
rigorous disciplinary measures, as it
did several years ago, when, on &C
count of the scandal caused by the
barbarous torture of the kings per-
sonal attendants, the French residents
at the head of the gendarmerie en-
tered the palace to save the lives of
the attendants and restore order. The
mails now report that in August the
king was seized with homicidal ma
mia, ordered seven of his wives to be
executed and looked on with delight
as they were slowly tortured to death.
few days later the king shot down
a prince. who was 70 years old,
member of the council of the royal
family, highly esteemed, and the last
surviving son of King Mimi Mang.
When the French resident called to
demonstrate with Thanh Thai, the lat
ter declined to permit him to enter
the palace.
