Many of the rajahs have been cducated abroad, and not a few ure bringing modern innovations. The foaharajah of Jeypore hLas established schools for both boys and girls. He lias & native college containing 1000 students, a female seminary where $00 girls are being educated by foreigners and an industrial art instltute in which, among other things, is made « blue and white porcelain Which compares favorably with that of Japan. The -gaekwar of Barods, who has & ter- ritory as big as Massachusetts between here and - Bombay, is instituting all sorts of factorles. He has appoiuted an Ameri- can as his economic adviser, and this man i suggesting all sorts of improvements. A bank has been orgunized, and native cap- ital will be used to develop the country. A cotton mill with 15,000 spindles has already beon built, and factories for the manufac- ture of glass, brick, cement and pottery will shortly be started. The gaekwar ox- pects to make starch from rice, and he will manufacture his own cigarettes and ciga He I3 teaching his farmers modern agri- culture, dairying und stock breeding. He bas bis agricultural experiment stations, and new plants and crops are being tested. He has cotton plantations, upon which he uses modern gine with hydraulic pressure. ie will eventually have weav- ing mills as well. He is also experiment- ing in silk raisiog, as well s in ramie and other fibers. On my way here 1 was advised at Gwaller and was told that the malw rajuh there would take me over the coun- iry in his automobile and show we his im- provements of varlous kinds. There are other states where rallroad enterprises and trrigation schemes are well under way, and altogether this supposedly dcad part of India is springing to lite i e Natlve States, Few people realize the extent of the tex- ritory still controlled by the Indian rajass. They govern about half of all Hindustan aod more than one-fifth of the people. The native states are scattered all over Indiu from Kastmir and Nepal fn the Himalayas 10 Mysore and others at the extreme south- ern end of the country. Rajputana takes a great the heait of the penin- sula, and Hyderabad, yuled by the Nizam, is an fmmense stute siill further south, Al- together ther seven hundred of these states, conlatsing a population of more than 6,000,00 These ure & part of British ¥et not of it. ‘The native Jahs are sOpposed by the common 1o hate absolute rule, but under the control of the British have Eritish advisers.

It was at the time of the durbar, and the rajah sat In state upon his_throme. Then a little man.in black clolhes entered and handed the gorgeous ruler the viceroy's orders to step down and out. He read them and was greatly surprised. But he merely salaamed to the litte British resident, and walked off to prison, while his boy took the throme in his stead. 1 cannot tell you why it Is, but the power of our government here seems supreme and the native rulers know that it is useless for them to resist.' Hduented Ra The most of these native rulers ara well educated. The British government is interested in having them 50, and it urges them to visit England and to send their sons there to college. In my travels through China I made one or two journeys with the kumar of Sikkim, a little native state in the Himalayas, under the shadows of Molnt Kverest and Mount Kinchun- janga. The kumar, or prince, had just graduated at Oxtord and was combng homo by way of Japan and Chin: He spent some time in Peking, and while there wmet the Dalai Lama of Tibet. who wax visiting the Chinese capital, T rode with the prince from Peking to Hankow by rail, and chat- hap- WHO ESTABLISHES SCHOOLS tad with him ut his 1t1a prineipal'ty. He was glad he was going back home and was apxious to take part in the government of his people. The nizam of Hyderabad was educated in ingland, and the maharajah who rulcs native state of Jevpore has sent there to school. The maharajah has vis- ited Great Britain, and he was chosen by the government to go there represent the native princes at the time King [d- ward was crowned. His many modern im- provements, his museums and schools, have been greatly benefited by his travels and he says he expects to visit London again. PRI Sk his s w0 Native College; The government of Indla has established colleges for the' education of the native princes and rajahs. There are four of these, situated at Ajmer, Labore, Rajkat and Indove. It ix necessary to hive dif- ferent schools, because of the laws of caste by which the natives ave governed. In some cases tulors and -guardians (ake charge of the young chiefs, and an imp cadet corps has been established for military training of the sons of noble ilies, : ‘The nativé states altogether have armies aggregating more than 100,000 The more important ones, such 2ujputana Central India and the Punjab, as well Kashmir, Hyderabad and Mysore, main tain Imperial service troops to the num- fam men as BELE ber of 18,000, These troops are under regular inspection of British officors, belong absolutely the states they are for the ¢ service when needed.

The British. govern- ment of India, however, objected, saying that the nizam had no right to spend so much money out of the taxes collected from his hard-working subjects, nd that he could not afford to buy things of that kind They forbade him to pay any more on the stone, At the same time the diamond had come into the nizam's possession, Ife re- fused to give it up, and those who sold it have brought suit against him for the bal- ance still due them. At a durbar not long ago this nizam wore abe(t, his neck ropes of pearls strings of rubies and dia- monds which were valued at $1.000,000. * Andther nabob who has magnificent jew- els and who lives in great state, is the maharajah of Oudeypore, whose ancestors resisted the conquest of the Mohammedans, He clalms to have the bluest blood of any of the native rulers and submits to the British only because he is forced to do so. 1f 1 remember correctly he would not at- tend the great durbar held at Delhi some years ago, at which Lord Curzon was phes- ent, and to which most of the native rulers, including the nizam, came, The nabob of Bahuwalpur'is another rich prince. He has a state only about as blg as fouth Carolina, but his erown is a mass of dlamonds set i silver, with a row of pear-shaped pearls about the base. The scabbard and hilt of his state sword are set with jewels worth $600,000, and he has a necklace of uncut emeralds with a chain of rubles and pearls. Some of his rubles are an inch and a half in diameter. That na- bob owns 1,700 watches and carries two or three at one time. He always has & pock- etful of gold colns made In Indla, and o ceremonial occasions he now and then gives one to a friend. He was educated under English tutor appointed by the British. His present income is said to be about $500,- 000 g year. and The Maharajah of Jeypore. I don't know what the maharajah of Jey- pore is worth, but he certainly has money to burn. His Journey England 1s vorted to have cost about $1.0%0,000, and he is suid to have given away-Something like $00,00 in charities during that trip. He chartered a special steamer for the oc caslon, and this fitled up with six different kitchens, according to the castes of his followers. He took with him his own drinking water from the Ganges, and had a little temple on the ship In which he worshiped Rama, his own divine ancestor He carried with him priests, servants of all kinds, several wives and a chorus of nauteh girls, and when he reached London he filled to the brim the palace which the government had allotted to him. 1 wish I could you which his highness lives in palaces cover and his watered by sjlvery fountalns through court after ¢ blo aifd carpeted with price.

Each horse wore a halter, the strap of which was tied ring over and had harem has several each 0 & Lis head each also o ropes about his ankles, so fastenad to posts that he could not kick nor rear up. All of these native yulers have their el phants, upon which they ride about in state upon ceremonial occasions. The maharajah of Jeypore has a dozen or more of enormous size, and not a few are so dun gerous that their tusks have been cut off and the ends bound with brass vings. These beusts have brass thei necks. They are fore heads and cars Some are wround tattooed on their the patterns of a cash mere shawl, and when taken out for the ey are with fancy trap pings and bave brass chalns around their necks.
