Jnalaa vsnt which, at present, eclipses all
others hma been the lnttnut which has
attached to the ameer tour and many
are the Interesting stta-lea which are belng
retailea In thla connection. lils mJety
revealed a breadth of view and a keen
ness ol discrimination hardly to be looked
for In the mler of a kingdom hitherto dia
tlnfulebed for Its fierce and eucceMful re
Istaoea, to weetera Influence.
. 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."

today one of them nechleni.iily struck a
