were smugglers. Klein's agent sue ceeded in getting the ivory back, and it is now coming here to Zanzibar across country on the heads of porters. It will be transferred to boats at the seacost and brought here for shipment.
 How Ivory Is Bought.
 I asked this young man as to the selling prices of ivory. He tells me that the ordinary price in the interior for tusk of 1S0 pounds is about 12v rupees, or $40. At Mombasa the same tusk would be worth $400 or $500. The ivory varies in price according to To- cality, and that which is worth 16 cents a pound on Lake Tanganyika will sell for $2 66 a pound at the seacoast. In buying Ivory of the natives the current money is American cotton sheeting, which Is turned in at the rate of 16 cents yard. The same cloth sells in Europe for about 4 cents yard. The European and Indian cloths are cheaper, and the traders try to put them in instead of the American. Many of these cloths come from Bombay. They are so thin that one can see through them. The German cloths are little better.

two islands produce more than 90 per cent of all the cloves raised in the world
 Zanzibar City.
 The capital of Zanzibar is Zanzibar City. It is the chief port of East Africa, foreign goods being sent from here to the mainland and carried across to Lake Tanganyika and other parts of the con tinent At the same time ivory, hides and the various native products are brought here to be shipped to Europe, so that the place has great trade.
 As you approach the city from the sea 1t makes you think of southern Europe. The shore is lined with three-story build- ings, built of stone or brick, covered with stucco and painted in all colors of the rainbow. There are blue buildings, white buildings, green buildings and yellow buildings. all mixed together. The town appears twice as big as 1t is. and 1t looks both imposing and beautiful Right out of the center, on the edge of the sea, rises the sultan's palace, and farther down to the south are the buildings of the British consulate, which look like a white mar ble castle
 As you come nearer the marble turns to whtewash; and the sultans palace dwindles in grandeur until it looks like one Of our great seaside hotels. It is, in fact, three-story building of wood painted yellow, with galleries running about it from story to story. These gal leries are about 20 feet wide and they are for all the world like hotel porches. The roof is red, and as 1t seems to cover a roof garden, the hotel effect Is still more in evidence. It is there that the sultan lives with his numerous wives. l do not know how many dussy ladies there are in the harem. His majesty Is s;. Mohammedan and he keeps such thin. to himself. I only know that the soldiers

the nabobs, the Indians the traders, but the black men do the work. There are on the island altogether 250,000 or more negroes of various tribes. There are more Swahlis than any other They are fine looking black people. The men and wom- en are straight and the young girls in their long white cotton gowns are quite handsome Many of the men speak a little English, and my guide knows enough to tell me about the city and its peo- pie. They are the most efficient of the natives of Central Africa, and are em- ployed by traders to carry goods to all parts of the continent. I find the thatch- ed villages of the negroes along the roads as I drive about the country. They work the plantations, taking care of the clove trees and gathering the crops.
 American Trade.
 This city should be a center for our trade movement toward the conquest of East Africa It is the warehouse of this coast and its business is several times as large as that of any other port on this side the continent. It naturally be- longs to the United States for we were the first to open up its foreign trade. As far back as 1886 Uncle Sam established trading consulate at the court of the then Sultan of Zanzibar. This was before any other foreign nation came in. At that time we began to send in cotton goods and hardware for distribution over the eastern part of the African continent.
 The work of that time is still in evil dence. American cottons are known everywhere They are considered the best made, and If our exporters would push them they could crowd out the poorer goods from India, England and Germany. The other nations fight

 sale for American kangas if the pat terms were right
 American Goods Sold by Foreigners.
 The bulk of the American goods through Europeans There are some American firms. but the most of the profits of our trade go to outsiders. There is a man at Marselles named Klein who is doing an enormous busi- ness in American cottons throughout eastern Africa. He has a branch house here and one at Mombasa, and his agents are travelling through Abyssnia Somaliland, British East Africa, Uganda and German East Africa. He has his cotton made to order in America in pieces of 42 yards each, and he brings a shipload of about 4000 tons across the ocean every year.
 I met one of Klein's agents on Lake Victoria This was Eurasian who had just come from Bisma rck burg. on the southern end of Lake TanGanyika, and was then on his way to Mombasa. He had gone to Lake Tanganyika to inves- tigate the confiscation of s20,OD worth of ivory tusks by the Belgians.
 Klein trades a great deal of American cotton for ivory. The elephants tusks are carried on the heads of porters down to the cost or they are brought to Lake Tanganyika and sent to Mom- basa by the Uganda railway. The ivory in question had been bought in German East Africa, and the porters were taking a sbert cut through the Congo territory to get it to the coast While on the way they were captured, and the Belgian officials claimed the Ivory on the ground that the porters

, dark-faced Indian women with nose but tons of gold and silver, and fat, greasy looking Indian men, who strut about wearing pill~box caps made of velvet and cloth of silver These men have on long coats buttoned up to the throat, and un- der them calico pantaloons which fit tight to the skin. Others have roundabout jackets with gold studs down the front which look for all the world like dress shirts with the tails cut off
 These Hindoos do most of the retail business of Zanzibar They have long streets of bazaar-like stores in the city itself, and their peddlers go all over the island. They use rupees money, and their chief customers are the Swahils and the other natives.
 The British government handles the col ony as though it were a part of India. The laws are those used in the courts of Hindoostan, and the government itself is modelled upon that of East India.

American goods, and they do every thing they can to destroy our trade
 They are studying the wants and tastes of the natives and are making patterns to please them. The most active mer
 chants at present are the Germans, who are selling a kind of cotton known as kangas, used as women's dresses. A kanga Is a square of calico about two yards long by yard and a half wide. It is printed in bright colors and two kangas form complete dress for woman. One goes around the waist and another about the body under the arms oI over the shoulders. There Is a change in the fashions of these cot tons from time to time, and the women want the new styles and colors as soon as they come. Here in Zanzibar I see some which have patterns of playing cards and others which are covered with animals, and especially lions and leopards. They cost about 70 cents a pair. I understand there Is a demand for flannel kangas printed in colors. There undoubtedly would be a large

there are millions of secret drinkers who hide their whiskey breath from the knowl- edge of their deluded wives by the aroma of Zanzibar cloves The island produced last year more than 26,O0O,0O0 pounds of these spices. This is enough to smother the scent of all the liquors raised by man and leave some to spare.
 During my stay I have ridden out to some of the plantations. Cloves come from trees which are set out in orchards and cultivated. At the age of six years the trees begin to bear blossoms, and 1t is these blossoms which form the cloves of commerce. They are bright red in color and are full. of perfume. They are picked when they are in full bloom and then smoked over slow wood fires. Dur ing the smoking they turn from red to brown and when cured are almost black. After they are well dried they are packed up in bags, and in that shape are sent to Europe and the United States. The Eng fish have another clove island, known as Pemba, which lies a little north of Zan- zibar, and is governed from here. These

blank Is Zanzibar? I have been cruis- ing over the world for the past six months and, for the life of me- can't find Zanzibar"
 I have been more successful than Judge Riley, for have found Zanziba-. and have even seen it's young Sultan, though not his harem. For our con suls of the future I would say that Zanzibar is a coral island about one sixth as large as Porto Rico, situated in the Indian ocean, three or four hun dred miles below the equator and from fifteen to thirty miles from the coast of German East Africa. It can now be reach ed by half dozen steamship lines and the fare from here to Washington is something like $500. There are four lines which connect the island with Europe, and the German East Africa shi ips go regularly from here to Bonn bay, in India, and to Rangoon. in Bur ma. There are also ships which have regular sailings to the Persian gulf and Madagascar, so that the island can be easily reached.
 The Island of Cloves.
 In coming here from Tanga we steamed along the Zanzibar coast for about 10 miles, and there are 20 or more miles yet below us Zanzibar is about 50 miles long ad 20 miles wide, and it would make alto gether about 400 one-thousand- acre farms As you look at it from the sea the land is low and it's shores are fringed with cocoanut trees loaded with nuts.

 ZANZIBAR ' AVE you ever heard of Judge
 Riley of Virginia? He was one A ! of the noted figures in Wash ington during the administrations of Grant, Hayes. Arthur and Garfield. A carpet-bag official at the close of the war, he came in for one of the foreign appointments which were given by the northe ern Presidents to the republicans of the south. He was first sent as minister or consul general to one of the little South American republics and after that was given the consulship to Zanzibar. Before leaving Washington for the latter post he treated all his friends, dilating the while on the splen- dors of the court of the Sultan and his harem and the black-eyed houris whom he expected to see. He then left; but at the end of six months came back weary and worn and sad. When asked how he liked Zanzibar he replied:

He has a branch office at Tabora, which lies about midway be- tween here and Lake Tanganyfka. where he has now something like s40,- 900 worth of Americani on hand. This gives one an idea of the extent of the trade. Indeed, the demand is such that I do not hesitate to advise our Amer ican cotton factors to study the mar ket and to send their agents to Africa to investigate the possibility of build Ing up a big business in colored cot tons and print goods.
