The kingdom is administered by a Privy Council whose members are nominated by the Sovereign. Each ministry has the assistance of a Council. Since the Treaty of 25th August, 1883, France has had a resident superieur at Hué. For administrative purposes Annam is divided into 19 provinces: Than-Hoa (Th H), Nghe An (Vinh), Ha-Tinh H-T), Quang Binh (Long-Hỏi), Quang Tri (Q-T), Ehùa Thien (Huế), Tourane, Quang

am (Fufo), Quang Ngài (Q-Ngai), Bul-Dinh (Qui Nhơn), Phu-Yen (Song Cau), Nha-Trang (Nh-Tg), Darlae (Ban Me Thuet), Muh Thuan (PhanHang), BinhThuan (Phan-Thiết). The agricultural land bordering on the coast is almost exclusively devoted to the culture of rice, of which two corps a year are raised. Imports consist of products for consumption such as flour, wine, liquors, rice spice, also iron manufactures, all kinds of hard word, articles de luxe, cotton goods, &c., the annual value being about 7,250,000 francs, of which about one-fifth come from France and Indo-China. Exports comprise silk, raw and filatured, silk manufactures, and waste silk, ginned cotton, lace, cinnamon, gummed lacquer, oil d'arachides, pre- cious woods, ox hides and horns, dried and salt fish, &c.
