URGENT SIGNAL
Probably a visitor to Slam at the time of the French aggression was rot 100, well" placed, France meant to have the Mekong region, and have, it she did➡as she had previously: taken the whole of the rest of Indo-China; asva Barma Chulalongkorn and his Minintern looked on aghast at the successive depredationa...... which they were powerless to: Arrest. “And it, was not until the publication of Blue-books on the subject that the King knew how much be had to thank England for how the late M. Waddington, bad called upon. Lord 'Rosebery- (then Premier and Foreign Minister) to proposa a partition of Slam between France and Great. Britain, how Lord Rosebery had declined with.. out thanks, and how he had been unable to coucesf his autonishin ent at his Excellency's proposition.
́SIAM'S' CAPITAL.
The King of Siam's capital, which is at once- the Windsor, the Woolwich, and the Blackwail: of Siam, is the bead-centre of the rice-carrying trade of the Far East His palace is a walled and battlemented city within a Čily, and behind the line of unwarlike sentries, who-guard its massive entry, lies wealth beyond the dreams of avarice.
The palace consists of an outer part and an inner, and into that mysterious interior na Europran of the male'sx, and only one Euro- pean woman—the late Mrs. Leonowens, whò": wrote "Harem-life at the Court of Siam "--but set foot. In ii are contained four thousand women and one man, his » ajesty she King, x*
But the outer palace at least shows signs of European invasion. Thirty of its apartments. have been fitted up with Louis Quinze furniture, the_great, drawing-room' in particular bolog dealt with in most costly inshion, with all im fi raiture of solid. Spanish mahogany, and each piece embossed with the Siamese coat-of-arma - white elephant on a red ground.
Apropos of that fabled'"white" elephant, I may add that be is not white nt all, but a kind. of dirty drab colour. Still, he is just sufficiently whiley-brown to differentiate him from the come on or African elephant. “It was the pro sant King's, father's predecessor, King Phra Chula ( hom Klso, who sent to Queen Victoris, .per Sir John Bowring, an offering of haira from the tail of the sacred beast. "For the ele phant is held strictly sacred in Slam, Some years ago great dingust was caused in Bangkok by the management of a travelling circus paint ing one of its slephants white ! This incident offended naiive susceptibilities to such a degree. that the circus had to beat a hasty retreat from the city.
A GOOD-LOOKING' MONARCH.
And now a word of King Chulalongkorn himself. His Majesty is a decidedly handsemna Oriental. In Stephenson's neat phraes, "The years are beginning to tell upon hia waistcoat;" - but, "ake him for all in all," at fifty-four Chulalongkorn is an extremely good looking: In addition to the abové, when it is expected monarch.
