between Habib Ullah and Nazr Ullah Is
connected with the amir's partially for
foreign-style dress. In his attendance at
the Kabul court Nazr Ullah himself for
merly appeared in the uniform of his mill
tary rank, but the court attendants are
clad in black cloth coats, vests and trou-
sers, circular astrakhan hats and white
collars with black neckties. All who are

Nazr Ullah's military uniform comprised
q scarlet coat, richly embroidered with
gold lace. cloth trousers and white gloves;
for headgear he wore an astrakhan hat.

fuence of his brother that the MUS.
commanding positions at the amirs court
are those filled by Nazr Ullah knah hiin-
self and his party.
In A measure Habib Cilah understands
the situation, but while the Bril- hanna
and the Sirdar Mohammed omar Jan
Khan are so closely protected by the
amir's bodyguard that they are state
prisoners. it is more difficult Tor the
amir to assail the position occupied by his
brother, as he is the commander-in-chief.
In consequence OF his high rank little at
tenot is made to curb NaZr Ullah's mas
terful will, and Habib Ullahs suDJectlon
to his brother has attracted UNIVERSAL AZ
tention Nazr Ullah Khan not only holds
the position of commander-n-cnieI oi~ tlie
Afghan army, but he is hans, or re-
peater of the Koran, as well as Shan-
gassi or gentleman usher, and the IL
wad-u- Dowlah. or pillar OF the state.
In domestic politics Nazr Ullah is the
leader of the Afghan party-that is, the
marty which. represented by the old Mus
SULLIVAN elders, is opposed to foreign IN
fuences and modern innovations. TINS
faction objected to the amirs TRIP 10
India, and it was due to Its Vaccinations
that Eabib Ullah encountered SO mucI
hostility on his return In his othcial
capacity and at the instigation of the
head rnullahs Nazr Ullah assailed the
Dane mission with the whole weight OF
his influence, and in the end secured It's
complete discontinue. 1t was said at the
time that Nazr Ullah's extreme ant1pathy
to foreign intercourse and his hostility to
Haiib Ullah's Indian visit had incensed
the amir against him, and that relations
were on that account considerably
strained between the amir and his broth.
er. 1t is hardly possible. however, that
Habib JYllah would risk quarrel with
Nazr Ullah. because in spite of his anna
bility. the amir does not possess very
secure seat upon the throne. If open
estrangement between the two sons of
Abdur Rahman gave rise to an alliance
between Nazr Ullah and the Bibi Halfma
the intrigues of these two parties might
very easily bring about the amir's down
fall.
It has always been recognized that
Nazr Ullah himself aspires to the throne
of Afghanistan, and there Is no doubt
that. should opportunity offer, he would
