not presented him with an heir.
Other ruling princes who paid hon.
age to the emperor today were the
Thakore of Gondai, one of the most
progressive of Hindustan rulers; and
the rulers of Mysore and other great
principalities. Perbaps the most in
teresting figure was Nawab Sultan
Johan, Begun of Bhopal, who has the
distinction of being the only woman
ruler of MOhammedan kingdom in
the world. Her country is among the
best governed in India She appeared
heavily veiled in voluminous garb
that covered her from head to foot,
completely concealing the outlines of
her petite figure.
After the reception to the native
rulers, their majesties, with escorts of
British and Indian soldiers, went in
procession around the Jamma Masjid
Mosque, where in past centuries the
Moghul emperors humbly kneIt, with
faces toward Mecca, and paid their
devotions to God From the Mosque
the imperial procession passed
through all the principal streets of
Delhi, halting for moment at the
historic Rindge, which on many oc-
sions has been red with blood, and
! where in 1857, during the Sepoy mu-

against the rebellious city. On this
spot their majesties held reception

The kings camp is located at the
foot of the Rindge, and directly facing
it on the northwest is the camp of the
commander in chief. To the south, of
his majesty's camp is the headquarters

the northwest, beyond the camp of
the commander in chief, are the camps
of the native princes.

don about the whole tented city, which
covers about twenty-five square miles
and shelters tonight about a quarter
of million souls. This temporary
city cost millions of dollars and is laid
out with broad streets, gardens, polo
grounds and band stands. About 1000
motor cars have been brought to In

not depend upon their men and may
end in the country being divided. If
that happens there will be fighting
going on all the time, as the north
hates the south and vice versa. If
Yuan Shih Kai takes the field for the
Imperialists, they may win, but it is

am sort OF doubtful about that; they
have not the experienced army. that
the north has, and is very difficult to
say which side will come out on top,
but in my humble opinion 1t will be
the north. This is a fight for freedom,
and the Chinese are to a man against
the Manchus, therefore they will be
able to get hundreds of thousands to
side with them. but. unfortunately,
they have no good troops just at pres
ent, but they may by sheer weight of
numbers yet conquer the north. The
worst of the whole business is the
tightness OF the money market, the
worst have seen during my thirty
two years of service in the Imperial
government. and. that is very bad for
China, who has no money to carry on
the war with. Many poor people are
about, and they will sll turn out rob-
bers sooner or later, then the trouble
will begin in earnest, as they will rob
the foreigners as well as the natives.
