great Menelik, the one time Emperor
of Abyssinia. 1t was his acquaint-
ance with this important royal per-
sonage that placed Ellis in an unen-
viable light with the American De-
partment of State during the late
President Roosevelt's administration
Heavily jeweled saddles, weapons and
other gifts were bestowed upon King
Menelik by Ellis, who in turn was
made Duke of Harrar and Hawasha,
territory covering 100000 fertile
acres, by the grateful monarch. Ellis
had contracted trade agreement with
the Abyssinian ruler that stipulated
that he must get the approval of the
United States government before it
became valid.
Ellis went to Washington, procur-
ed the approval of the United States
government of the trade agreement,
but the American Secretary of State
insisted that one of the departments
under-secretaries should accompany
the colored man to the Court of
Menelik and conclude the agreement
as its representative. On the pas
sage abroad, the under-secretary was
lost overheard and when the fact of
his death came to hand an ugly ru-
NOR was started which included Ellis
as the direct cause of the govern
ment's representative losing his life
under rather disquieting circum-
stances. The charge was never
brought home to the colored man,
but it was the direct reason of his
making the City of Mexico his perma-
nent place of residence.
His son arrived here last week
and is now accompanying the remains
of his father to the States. William
Henry Ellis was about 65 years old.
His son stated that his father would
be buried at Mt. Vernon, New York.

Mexico City, Mexico, Oct. 13.-
"The man with thousand dreams, /"
"the man who made ten fortunes and
lost nine," "the man who claimed
seven bloods, yet owned but one," ad-
venturer, diplomat, wizard of finance,
distiller of fancies that thrilled three

dead. He died at his residence in
this city on the oath day of Septem-

"Will" Ellis was one of the ro-
mantle figures in the multi colored
life of the American Negro. He was
a native of Texas. Except that his
blood was Negro in the main, little
is actually known of his ancestry.
1t may have been any one of the sew
