InterestingDetails About His Majesty's Public and Private^Life^Queen in Bloomers, of Progressive Ideas. His^Chief Adviser^Wants to See the Lotos Club.
Theking of Slam will be the third^reigning monarch who has vialted this^republic. Ex-king* have I wen ban in^profusion and heirs apparent to u mn-^siderable extent, but only two actual^wearers of crowns have been here be^^fore Chulalongkorn. hi* two predeces^^sors being the emperor of the Ilraxtls^and i he king of the Hawaiian islands.^18 A QRKAT CIVII.IZIIII
KingChulalongkorn rules over 6,000,-^000 people. He has done for 81am what
THEKINO OF SI AM
themikado has done for Japan. He has^Introduced American and European civ^^ilisation, and In the 30 years of his reign^has advanced Slam more than she hail^be^n advanced before In two centuries.^The king comes to this country on his^yacht, the Mahu chakrkrl. Hhe Is a^vessel designed partly as a yacht anil^partly as cruiser, she was built In Kng-^land in \m.
Therelately has been a rumor that^the king would not. after all. come to^this country, but would return to Siam^immediately after the queen's Jubilee.^The king flrst announced his Intention^of coming to America in |w, but wus^prevented hy affairs of state. When^^ icucral f Irani was on his tour around^the world he was entertained mo pleas^^antly by the Siamese sovereign that ho^eve r afte rward cherished the most live^^ly regard for that monarch.
In1883 when it was settled that the^king would not visit the Cnlted States^for some time to come, (leneral (Irani^wrote to luin a letter in which he aubl^^A year or two ago W$ were RSI to Im*-^llrve that the I'nlted Sim. ^ was to be^honored by a visit from you. I hope the^visit Is only postponed, not abandoned.^You would ncelve the most hearty wel^^come from both government and the^lieople. 1 anil my family retain the^most lively recollection of our visit to^Slam and of your kind hospitality and^would much enjoy a second visit, but at^my time of life 1 can hardly expect ever^again to lake so long a Journey.^^A RECENT LKTTEK.
Aletter from the king's private sec^^retary was recently received by Col.^Uavld II. Sickles, in which the king^said that If he did not get here this trip^. he would at some future time.
Oddlyenough, the king Is said to be^especially interested in the Lotos club.^In the letter from the secretary It Is^stated that his majesty has heard much^of the club from various Americans,^and Intends to pay it a visit.
i'hula long km n s great-grand father^was the first of the present dynasty on^the Siamese throne. Chulalongkorn's^father inaugurated the system Of nom^^inating the eldest son of the monarch^as the successor to the throne^a sys^^tem which Chulalongkorn has continued^and which has done much to Increase^the stability of the government. He-^fore the time of the present king's^father, the custom was for the monarch^to nominate as his successor any mem^^ber of trie royal family that he pleased.
Whenattired In everyday dress the^king of Slam wears European clothing.^He carries a walking stick and wears^a derby hat with a high crown. His^shoes come from London and the furni^^ture of his palace at Hangkok Is of Pa^^risian and Krltish manufacture.^QI'EEN IN BLOOMEltR
Theking Is fond of bloomers, and so^Is his wife, the ^First Queen.^ The^First Queen's costume Is a curious mix^^ture of civilisation and barbarism, as^she is herself. She wears a waist with^big puffed sleeves, made for her hy a^Paris dressmaker, and below this she^wears the bloomers peculiar to the wo^^men of Slam. She is said to he the^faithful counselor of the king for all^advancement. Although she never has^left Slam, she has the greatest appre^^ciation of the benefits of Westt i n edu^^cation, and It was by her advice that^the royal princes were sent to Kngland^to be educated.

In his capital of Bangkok^he has street cars running, and several^lines of steam railways have been built^through the country by the favor of his^most gracious majesty. The king, by^the way.

It generally commences upon^the setting of the sun. although in mid^^winter ll has sometimes been so bright^that It was visible at noon while the^sun was shining brightly. The rays of^the light llrst shoot forth with a quick,^quivering motion, are gathered and^form a great arch of tire spanning the^heavens.
