equally large. As We entered. a straight.

blond mustache, came forward and
offered me his hand. II was the young

me with a welcome back TO Egypt.

His highnoss led the way 10 sofa
a chair at his side. When he sat down
himself he put one foot under him and
sat upon that ! remembered that his
father had sat the same way. The
khedive maintained this position dur
ing the half hour Of our audience.
As we talked had an excellent OPP
portunity 10 study the man. His high
ness Is about feet s tall, and he
weigh perhaps no pounds. He is as

4 TALK ABOUT FARMING.
Before going to the palace I had
been warned that his highness would
not discuss politics, and I therefore
turned the conversation To farming.
The khedive Is one Of the largest farm
ers Of the Nile valley He has stock
ranches, cotton plantations and grain
fields galore. He is a successful de-
veloper OF real estate propositions. He
takes up cheap lands and by means OF
irrigation and drainage makes them

walked up to the second floor of tho
palace. and was taken into n great
parlor where ] waited until the exact
moment for my interview came.
TEwF1K PAsHA'S THRONE ROOM.
As looked about this room / recog-
nized IT as the audience chamber in
which the father OF this khedive, Tew-
nk Pasha. had received me when he
was ruler ~ the country now more than
n years ago. At that time I had a
most remarkable Interview with him,
and as I looked about mo the man and
his words came 10 my mind. The room
is the same as II was then. all Of the
furniture being European notwthstand-
Ing Egypt is a land of the orient The
sofas and chairs are Of carved wood

the room is a great brOcaded sofa. a.
wide as Turkish divan n was upon
that sofa that his hlghness Tewhk sat
as he chattcd with me about himself
and his country Tie spoke English we'll,
and talked freely about the then con-
dtion Of Egypt and it, future. He was
not averso TO speaking Of religion and
his MOhammedan subjects. and he
spoke little concerning himself

Since then great changes have taken
place I'm Egypt. The pre- sent khcdiye's
father was always afraid OF assassina-
tion and when he suddenly died II was
supposed that he was carried of BY

life Of a khedive, He replied.

people envy me and think that my lot
must be a pleasant one. They do not

English had taken hold OF the Egyp-
tian situation. AS you will remember.

Both Tewfk and Abbas have upheld
the principles OF Mohammedanism.
During my talk with Townk cigarettes
were brought IN and | was offered a
smoke Observing that his highness
did not take a cigarette | refused, and
moment later J asked the khedive II
he did not smoke He replied that he
neither smoked nor drank, and that he
did not drink because IT was against
the laws of life as laid down IN the
Koran. | understand that the present
khediye never touches tobacco or in
toxicating liquors, and that he Is al
most as good a Mussulman a. was his
father, lie has recently gained great
favor with his subjects. not only in
Egypt but I'm the Sudan, by making a
pilgrimage TO Mecca, and the fact that
he has increased the size Of his harem
will probably be another point In his
favor
As to Tewhk Pashs. he told me that

I double and treble in value. He says
that draining Is quite as important for
Egypt as irrigation. and that there are
vast territories here which proper
drainage might bring into use. This Is
50 Of some lakes near Alexandria.
There 10 Just as much danger from an
oversupply as from an undersupply Of
the Nile waters. The floods contain
a certain amount OF salts OF one kind
or another, which are Injurious to tho
crops II the water lies too long upon
the land, and this has to be removed
During my talk with his highness I
asked him as to his farming and
whether he really gave Il his personal
attention. He replied that he did so,
and that he was in telephone con-
neCtion with each Of his estates and
received daily reports from all Of them
We talked of the fertlliza ton OF the
Nile valley. Tho khedlve said that the
land was exceedingly rich, but that II
could he improved by adding phos-
pilates and other artificial manures He
told me that farming was improving
throughout Egypt. and that the agri-
cultural department is teaching the
people the value OF good seed and OF
intensive cultivation.
| asked him what would be the effect
Of the raising OF the dam at Assouan,
He answered that II would double the
held back, and that II will add millions
of acres to cultivated Egypt. He says
that the government has other schemes
under way which will materially In
crease the farming possibilities of his
country.
THE KHEDIYE's BIG FARMS.
During his conversation his highness
spoke at length as to some OF his
farms, suggesting that I might find II
interesting TO visit them. He has re-
deemed over 1000 acres not far from
Cairo. The land was poor and swampy
and some OF IL was desert His high
nesS drained and irrigated II and 1t now
brings in an enormous revenue.
He has another big farm near Alex
anlria and another at Koubheh. The
latter estate Is a model plantation of
500 acres. II Is equipped with the most
scientific machinery and implements
and its buildings comprise n model vii
lago, with which Is connected a school,
club, a mosque and an up-to-date FIRE
station. Tho khedive has breeding es-
adjustments there, and he imports the
finest cattle and poultry. He Is noted
as a horse lover. and has recently in
augurated a company to improve the
blood OF the Egypti0n horse His posi-
ton is such that he can get the finest
OF tho Arabian sires and the best pure
blooded stations from Nejid Arabia are
sent 20 him by the Bedouin sheiks. He
Is also Interested in camel and mule
breeding. and has some of the swiftest
Of dromedaries. Some OF his camels
can travel 20 miles a day. and are
worth az much as the finest horse. His
highness exhibits at many Of the asri-
cultural shows. and Is often among the
prize winners there.
HIS DAILY LIFE.
During our talk l asked the khedive
