Ills Vlalt was, of court, une of eourUey and was tn no way connected with politics. But the political consequences cannot fall to be of consequence. It may be noted that the exact words used by the ameer in connection with the first meeting with the viceroy had a significance which was unmistakable. Lord Mlnto expressed pleas ure at meeting him and the ameer, speak ing In English, eald: "I also am very glad to meet you in the country which Is the first friend of my country and myself." The phrase first friend In Persian means closest and highest friend In whom abso lute confluence la placed In air- circum stances. The ameer visited Delhi while the festival of the Bakr-Id was being held. The slaughter of klne by Indian Mohammedans during that Id has frequently la the past led to serious trouble with Hindus, and the government has had to Interfere In order to regulate the custom. The Mohavunedans of Delhi proposed to slaughter W0 cows to celebrate the ameer's participation In the festival, but on this becoming known to his majesty he Immediately expressed his strong disapproval. lie bad come to India, he said, to see the country and all Us people, without distinction of race or creed, and he could not countenance any thing which might cause strife. He could not command that no cows should be killed In Delhi, but he suggested that goats should be substituted, as thus no offense would be caused to Hindus. Otherwise he would not participate pub licly in the Id. The Mohammedans of Delhi accepted this suggestion. This con sideration for Hindu feeling on the part of the ameer Is having a marked effect throughout all India. Visit to Cellege. When the ameer visited the Moham medan college at Allgarh he amased the trustees by arguing with them on questions of religion. Although good Mohamme dans, the trustees are not priests and were not a little disconcerted by the royal posers. They took him to the library and showed him copies of the Koran and other re ligious works. He exhibited Impatience, though not, unamlably. "I came not to see books," he said. "I came to see boys." "But this is the Holy Koran," they pointed out. "Because your father left a ropy of the Rubalyat oa the family book shelf are you therefore a Persian poet?" cried the ameer. "I know what is In the pages of those books. I want to know what la In the minds of those who read them." They understood then and . word went forth In all directions accordingly. The ameer listened to lectures on various sub jects including Mohammedan theology. It was this that attracted him most, "May.) put one or two questions to the boys?" ha presently asked. Assent being readily given his majesty plunged for a solid hour Into a spiritual catechism. "What are the ftvs duties 6f a Mohammedan?" he began and from boy to boy he carried his interroga tions, over ths field of Islamic divinity. The last of the hundred and one testa was addressed haphasard to a boy who chanced to be specially well qualified to meet it, "Recite something: from the Holy Koran," said the ameer. "What?", asked the boy. "Anything." the ameer replied, "anything you know by heart." The boy, an accom plished performer began a swevt plaintive chant that Immediately brought tears to the ameer's eyea He moved softly away. . Seeers the Kite II fa. Later the ameer, ascertaining that there were Shlah Mohammedans as well as 8unnl Mohammedans among the college students said, "Let me see the Bhiahs also at their theological studies. I am a Bunni. but I wish this." They led the way into another room and the Bhlah teacher was Introduced. "Teach." said the ameer shortly. The man obeyed. "Now listen to. me, you students," the ameer said. "You are young. Remem ber my words even when you have grown old. Voj have heard people say the ameer of Afghanistan Is a Sunn! bigot. Because I am a Sunnl must I therefore be a bigot? Let me ask you a question. Tou who are Shlahs. do you prefer Hindus to Bunnls? No. Well now 'you have just read in the newspapers that I prohibited the proposed cow killing at the Buk-Id at Delhi out of consideration for the religious suscepti bilities of the Hindu. If I have that much kindness . for the Hindus can you believe I have less kindness for the Bhiahs? I ask you from this time forth not to believe that I am a Bunnal bigot, la Afghanistan I have among my subjects Bunnls, Bhiahs, Hindus and Jews and I have given to all of them full religious liberty. Is this bigotry? But this I must add. I can never consent to allowing the BUlahs to abuse and revile the three Khalifa If it Is bigotry to interfere with that I am a bigot." Approves the College. An Immense audience gathered In the Bttachey hall of the college to hear sn address to the ameer. A Persian copy was read out In a loud voice. It related to the checkered history of the college and was Inordinately long. Before the end was reached the ameer, who waa sitting on a silver throne, stopped the recital, saying bluntly: ''I huvo already read it In private; do not waste any more time." Then his majesty called up bis interpreter and, speaking loudly In fluent Persian al ternately with the interpreter, who phrase by phrase rendered the speech into Urdu, delivered a remarkable oration. "I have heard many things about this college. I have heard many good things. I have beard many bad things. I came to And out the truth for myself. I never trust re ports at second band. I have today searched Into the matter thoroughly. What do I And as the result of all these laborious Investigations? I find that those who have maligned this college were Hare. I repeat the word, liars. I repeat it again, liars To Allah I offer my deepest thankfulness that these students are In religion sound and In manners perfect. Henceforth ths man who will bi iiiont sealous to silence the tongues of those who speak 111 ugalnst this coljege will be myself." When the ameer drove away from ths grand military review at Acra he Is re. ported to have delivered himself as fol lows to some of the principal sirdar: "Look you, you told me that mine was the finest army in the world. You assured me that Afghan soldiers greatly excelled the soldiers of the Indian empire or the Ruslan empire. You almost persuaded me that my forces outnumbered the Indian and the Russian forr s combined. Wh'it saw you just row? 11a. you are dumb. Do Kabul troops look so? Do they march so? Do they drill so? Look to It; I shall have an answer." Fatal Dyoamlfe Ksplosloa. CHtCAOO.
