Wild Elephants Ignored ed

in U. S. Recalled by Docnmeni-Lincoln

Chaw Phya. Capt. BARREN. with the
officers of the ship Of war, came up to
pay . friendly visit and has had an
interview with ourselves. hence to him
We have entrusted our royal letter In
separate envelope. which accompanies
this. and the presents specified in that
letter.
We are assured that Capt. BARREN
will deliver them In safety to you who
are President Of the United States when
our letter would reach Washington.
Capt. Berrien to our inquiries Of yari-
Gus particulars relating to America. he
stated that on that continent there are
no elephants. Elephants are regarded
as the most remarkable Of the large
quadrupeds by the Americans. 20 that
II any one has an elephants tusk OF
large size and will deposit It In any
public place people come by tnousanos
crowding to see 1t. saying. 1t Is q won
derful thing. Also, though formerly
there were camels on the continent the
Americans have sought for and pur-
chased them, some from Arabia, some
from Europe, and no camels propagate
their race and are serviceable and OF

numerous. in America.
Having heard this. 1t has occurred to
US that, II on. the continent Of America
there should be several pairs Of male
and female elephants turned loose In
forests where there was abundance oi
water and grass In any region under the
suns declination both north and south
called by the English the tOrrid zone
and all were forbidden to arrest them
the attempt to raise them would be well
and If the climate there should prove
favorable to elephants we are Of the
opinion that after q while they will in
crease till there be large herds as there
are here on the continent Of Asia until
the inhabitants Of America will be able
to catch them and tame and use them
as beasts Of burden. making them OF
benefit to the country, since elephants
being animals Of great size and strength
can bear burdens and travel through
uncleared woods and matted jungles
where no carriage and cart roads have
yet been made.
Examples we have coming down from
the ancient times of this business OF
transplanting elephants from the main
land Of Asia to various islands. -Four
hundred years ago. when the island OF
Ceylon was governed by its native
princes, an embassy was sent to beg OF
the King of Kenxawatty or Pegu to
purchase young elephants in several
pairs to turn loose in the jungles OF
Ceylon, and now by a natural increase
there are many large herds of elephants
In that island. We have heard also 9
tradition that a long time ago the ma.
tives Of Achen in the island of Sumatrs
and the natives of Java came to the
Malayan Peninsula to obtain younl
elephants to turn loose In the jungle.

sequence Of this elephants are numer-
ory on both these islands.
: On this account We desire to pro-
cure and send elephants TO be let loose
and increase and multiply In the con-
tient Of America, but We are - yet
uninformed what forests and what re-
gions Of the country are suitable for
elephants to thrive and prosper. Be-
sides, we have no means, nor are We
able, to convey elephants TO America,
the distance being too great. The
islands Of Ceylon and Sumatra and
Java are near to the continent Of Asia,
and those who thought Of this plan In
former days could transport their ele-
plants with ease and without dinicul-
ties.
In reference to this opinion Of ours,
and Congress, who conjointly with him
rule the country, see At to approve, let
them provide large vessel, loaded with
hay and other food suitable for ele-
plants on the voyage, with tanks hold
Ing q suf1ciency Of fresh water and
arranged with stables 20 that the ele-
phants can both stand and lie down
In the ship and send it to receive them.
we on our part will procure young male
and female elephants and forward them
one and two pairs at q time.
When the elephants are on board the
ship, let . steamer take 1t in tow that
they may reach America as rapidly as
possible. before they become wasted and
arrive in America do not let them be
taken to Q cold climate, out Of the
regions Of the suns destinations, or
torrid zone, but let them with all haste
be turned out to run wild in some fun
gle suitable for them, not confining
them any length Of time. If these means
can be done, we trust that the elephants
hereafter will propagate their species
on the continent Of America. It Is de-
sirable that the President Of the United
States and Congress give US their
views In reference to this matter ct as
early q date as possible.
In Siam 1t is the custom Of the sea-
son to take elephants from the heros
In the jungles in the months Of Phagun
and Chetre, generally corresponding to
and congress approve of this matter
and should provide q vessel to come
for the elephants, II that vessel
should arrive in Siam any month
Of any year after March and April, q
above mentioned. let notice be sent on
two or three months previous to those
months Of that year, in order that
the elephants may Be caught and
tanned: whereas the elephants that
have been long captured and tanned
and domesticated here are large
and dimcult to transport and there
would be danger that they would never
reach America.
At this time we have much pleasure
in sending a pair Of large elephant
tusks, both from the same animal. as
an addition to our former presents
inspection that thereby the glory and
honor Of Siam may be promoted. We
hope that the President and Congress
who administer the Government Of tns
United States of America. will gladly
receive them as q token Of friendly re-
gard.

II the generous intentions Of the
King Of Siam had met the ap-
proval Of Abraham Lincoln.
A curious document Just uncovered
in the flles Of the State Department
shows that the King was anxious to
to be released in the American "tungles"
SO as to provide continuous supply
of beasts Of burden for the American
people.
Lincoln, then In the midst Of the
Civil War, apparently turned down the
offer. He Is reputed to have said that
the only use he knew for elephants
would be to trample on the enemy.
The Siamese offer actually was made
to James Buchanan, but Lincoln was
