Paris. Feb. 28--The French authori- : tiSs are still without official nofiftcs- ton of the Newlington. N. H, tragedy. n which Paul Roy. Frenehman now here. is charged by his American wlLs, GincIa Caf1a. with the murder of her brother on January 3. It is expected that some time must elapse before the machinery of the French criminAt courts can be set in motion on the case.
 rho question of extradition of Roy to the United States Is not involved. as France. like most European eoun- tries, does not surrender a citizen, but trfes such subject in the French courts for crimes committed abroad. The United States government. therefore, can oniy call the attention of the French authorities to the crime. set ting forth the facts in connection herewith.
 No new feature of the case vas un- earthed today. The family of Paul Roy appear confident that he will be able to prove that he shot Carkins in seIf-defense in case the matter comes to trial 1t Is expected that the trans position of tho name P. Enuile Roy on the marriage register in Boston. which recftes the union on october ' of last year of Roy and Glacia Gala was due to the fact that Roy would not make the clerk understand that Roy was patronymicaI and not Christian name. Detective Goron. who is actlns as Roys spokesman. refuses to dis close the facts that the family has ob- tatned regarding Glacia's past life,
 4lther will he disclose any facts re-
 rding the woman called the Baroness sen Orendorff. with whom GlacIa Gala
 ed He explained that the family,
 hile not recognizing the marriage
 IS no desire to sully the reputation oi
 te woman.
 According to those who know GIaeia .ra1la when she was in Paris. she did uot have entrance to exclusive society Although she was not considered rich she lived in handsome apartment and was ehaper0ned by the so-calied Baroness von Orendorff. whom she called her aunt Her musical studies were not interrupted by her social pleasures. She had many admires among whom was Paul Roy and toward the end of her stay, he was recognized as her fayorite suitor, G0ron desires to have 1t made clear that when ht first began his inquiries in America at tho request of his family with the view of securing Paul Roy's return to France. neither he nor the family knew that he had killed Carkins. This facl was developed first from the interview that GoEon's agent had with Glacia Gala on February H.

the natives as dresses; but I have said nothing of the raphia fiber which is brought here to Entebbe for shipment to England. where it brings as high as $50 a ton. This country can raise hemp as good as that produced in the Philippines, and China grass and sisal are said to thrive equally well.
 The Uganda protectorate is rich in min- erals. Hematite ore is found almost ev- everywhere, copper has been discovered in the central province and gold is said to exist in some places. There are also de- posits of white china clay of great value in certain localities and the natives them selves make pottery from it.
 Uganda as the Sun Sees 1t.
 But suppose we take a look at Uganda as the sun sees it. The country lies on the roof of the African continent. Where it borders Lake Victoria il is about as high up in the air as the highest of the Alle- ghenies. and the crater of Mount Elgon which rises in the central province a little north of that lake kisses the sky one hundred feet higher than the top of Pike's Peak. Away off to the east are Mounts Kilimanjaro and Kenia. and at the west are the mighty highlands of RuwenZori, which vie with those of Kilimanjaro it. self The country is almost surrounded by water. On the south is Lake Victoria, the west are Albert Edward and AL bert ~Nyanza joined by the Samlik and further down is the Nile. On the east is Lake Rudolf an enormous body of water and throughout the whole coun- try are beautiful little lakes, ponds, rivers and creeks.
 The general nature of the country is rolling. It has many hills and hollows and unduatng plains. with swamps in the valleys. The hills are covered with grass and they roll oTer one another as far as the eye can see. The swamps are often spotted with woods. and one is never out of sight of the papyrus, the tall tassel-like grass of which the Egyptians made paper.
 As to the extent of the protectorate. it contains altogether more land than New England added to New York, Pennyl- vania. New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia. It has a bigger population than New England, and bigger than that of any state of our union. with the excep- tion of New York Pennsylvania, Ohio or Texas. The people all told number be- tween 100000 and 5,0O0.o0O and of these considerably over i,t.J,ooo are christians.

zion is very malarious, and no one would think of sleeping here without such protection. As for the food of the hotel, it is fairly good for central Af- rica, although it would be poor any where else. The chief trouble is the cooking, which is universally bad As to variety, we had at our last dinner a soup. some fish, fried brains beef, po- tatoes and green peas. Our dessert be- gan with a. slice of popaia,, delicious melon-like fruit which grows on a tree here, and ended with coffee. The hotel rate is $2 per day, including rooms and board.
 Ruled Through the Chiefs.
 During my stay here l have had some talks with officials as to how they han died Uganda They tell me that they rule as far as possible through the natives. Each petty locality has had it's own sys- tenn of government and its own laws as far as possible, and the machinery is adapted to these systems. In Uganda proper the work is done through the tive council and the little king or the officer appointed to represent him. The council. or lukiko consists of twenty chiefs, each of which has his own county or district with his own court. These counties are subdivided and given over to subordinate chiefs until there is per- haps chief to each village of any size. Ine cnlelS receive money rom the BTU ish government and in return they collect the taxes and turn them into the treas ury. The taxes are assessed at so much to each hut, the amount being usually about s1 per year. This seems low, but when it is remembered that it requires about a month of good hard work to make dollar out here in Uganda it will be seen that it is pretty high after all
 I have met many of the Baganda chiefs during my stay. They are very intelli- gent. Not few are able to read, having learned to do so in the mission schools One has written a book, and all are more than ordinarily bright Not, few of them are now keeping their court pro- ceedings in typewriting, the native lan- guage having been adapted to the Roman letters so that the ordinary machine can be used.

calico pantaloons and long coats, but toned high up in the neck. They have yellowish brown faces, dark eyes and curly black hair.
 A Central African Hotel.
 The government buildings are scat tered here and there over the hills. They are usually roofed with galvan- ized iron. They have brick walls and wide porches. There are no native huts h the town proper and as a rule very few buildings thatche ed with straw. The police barracks form one of the excep- tions. These lie on the western edge of Entebbe, and they consist of rude Nuba houses, with coneshaped roofs.
 The hotel here Is about the only one in central Africa In most other places one has to have his own tents or to stop with the officials. I am usually able to get in with an official. and tn Is was the case at Kampala, the native capital. This new hotel is an oddity. It is made of mud and grass. The main building is, judge, about 50 feet square and it measures about 25 feet to the cone of the matched roof. It's walls are only 20 feet high, but the roof does not begin for several feet above them, a space of a yard per haps being left for air between the walls and the rafters. This main part of the hotel contains a dining room, a parlor, and billiard room with kitch- ems off at the side.
 The bed rooms are bungalow-lke sheds made of mud and matched with straw. They are some distance away from the hotel itself and run around the walls of the compound. Each bed room opens out upon a little porch or ledge f1oored with mud and coated over with cow dung well sn1oothed down. The bed rooms are hoored tke same way, but each has a rush mattSuade of papyrus reeds from Lake victonO> running across it. The beds themselveAs consist of a rude framework of wood. 10 which are woven strips of antelope skins. Upon these rush mating is laid, and then a thin mattress of Uganda cotton Every bed has it's mosquito netting. This re-

i, Nyanza, about as far inland as the western shores of Lake Erie are m from New York and right in the heart of the African continent. That lake was not known to the world until about 50 years ago, and today large part of the lands surrounding it are unexplored. The equator goes right through the lake and it is only about so miles south of 1t that the German possessions begin. This part of Lake Victoria belongs to Great Britain, and all the vast territory extending from here to the Mediterranean. including Uganda, the Sudan and Egypt, is prac- tically under the control of John Bull. He has every foot of land on each side the Nile which begins it's course by flowing out of Lake Victoria at Ripon Falls not far from here, and winds it's way for 3900 miles, before it empties into the Mediterranean sea- As the crow flies the distance is farth CT than from Philadelphia to the Great Salt Lake; and the country contains some of the rich est lands upon earth. Every one knows of the wealth of Egypt, which has never been so rich as since the British took hold. The Sudan has vast territories equally fertile and Uganda, away down here at the Niles source among the highest of the AfrI- tdH HlOuntalnS, IS III some respects richer than all.
 The Uganda Protectorate.
 Indeed, the English officials tell me that Uganda is the cream of the Afri- can continent I have now been travel ing some weeks thr ough it, and I be- lieve they are right. There is no other place where so many valuable crops can be grown. In some of the provinces the natives raise grain with practically no cultivation, in others coffee grows wild, and everywhere there are bananas and other tropical fruits. In another letter I shall write of the great possi- bjlities in cotton, which is already be- ing raised here and there; and shall treat of the stock growing prospects which promise to make Uganda the great meat basket of England.
 The land is one of great forests as well as of rich plains covered with grass. 1t is a land of rubber and 1t has vast re- sources in fbers which may be used for the making of paper, rope and cloth. I have already spoken of the bark blankets which are used by million or more of

Nevertheless the country is kept in perfect order and law courts have been established in ali the provinces. There Is a supreme court to which appeals may be made. The people pay their taxes. In some of the provinces they are establish ing schools, and altogether they arc far better off than they have ever been be- fore.
 Entebbe.
 This town of Entebbe is the capital of Uganda. It has the greater part of the white population, which consists all told of just 400 souls, embracing S3 women. The men are chiefly British officials. They are well educated young fellows. fond of sport and devoted to tennis and golf, which they play almost every day. The women are as rule fine-looking En- glish girls, the wives and daughters of these officials. They dress as well as our girls at home, and if one could lift up this white colony and drop it down in any city of England or the United States the people would not be out of place.
 And how do these people live?
 We'll here at the capital they are better off than in many parts of the interior. They have houses of sun dried brick, roofed with galvanized iron. Very few of the houses are of more than one story but they have wide verandas and the rooms ara spread out over the ground. Many of shem are surrounded by beautiful gar dens, filled with all sorts of tropical plants and trees. The houses are built far apart along wide roads of the red dirt of Uganda. Some of the roads are lined with Towering trees. the most common being the Cape lily. which is now bearing a great mass of blue flowers. Indeed. there are 50 many flowers and plants that one seems to be going through botanical garden as he walks along the streets.
 The business part of the capital is given up to the East Indians. There are a half dozen or more galvanized iron stores filled with goods to sell to the natives. The brown kinned mer chants wear little yellow skull caps,

 ENTEBBE. "AKE a seat with me on the mud veranda of the mud hotel at Entebbe and look out over Lake this Uganda protectorate which the Brit ish have recently added to their share of the white mans burden. You had best keep your hats on. There are lizards and scorpions in the matched roof overhead and some may fall down upon us as we talk. I advise you, also, to tie your shoes tight and by no means to rest your bare feet on the floor. It is true 1t is plastered with COW dung and that ought to keep out the ants and the jiggers. The latter insects, however, have way of crawling in under one's toe nails and lay ing little sacks of eggs in the skin, which, if they hatch, may cause us the loss of our toes. I have had ten jiggers taken out of my feet since l came into Uganda, and, now, Epifras, my native servant, goes over my toes every morning.
 Do you see that black band moving across the path down there in front? It is made up of ants which will attack you if you come near it. They are the famous warrior ants, whose bite feels like red-hot pinchers and whose heads have to be torn from their bodies before they will let go. They are far more dangerous than that baby lion, who is tied with a clothesline about his neck to a tree near by. He is only about as big a Scotch collie and is not old enough to know how strong he is. He was brought in last night by a traveller from Lake Tang anyika, who also owns the two gray parrots with red tails who, perched in the tree above it, are alternately whistling and scolding.
 On the Equator.
 Before we begin our talk let us look around and try to realize where We are. This mud hotel is called the Equatorial. It is situated right on the equator, and by spreading out our legs we could al- most traddle the same. Nevertheless, we arc about 400 feet above the sea, and the cool breezes from Victoria lake make the air as delightful as Virginia in June. There rae oranges and lemons growing out there in the garden, great beds of feathery papyrus are waving to and fro on the shores and we can see tall palms with their whispering leaves everywhere.
 We are right on the edge of Victoria
