London, Oct. 8.—M. Jacques Le-
bandy, the "Emperor of Sahara,"
arrived in London to -day, and is
stopping at the Savoy Hotel. His
object is to purchase an immense
outfit or supplies for his "court" at
#I,roja, ;which' he has declared to be
the capital of 1 s empire. 73y w#ty
of .proof tuna hie claim Meet be
taken seriously, at least by his
"subjects," lie hes ordered a guil-
lotine, which is beteg made in Nor -
:way, and will be shipped from there
to the emperor's Sahara address.
:The country which Lebaudy has
annexed is sparsely populated, con-
sidering the enormous area. The
Inhabitants of the Siahara+.are about
2,000,000 souls, and consist of
Moors, Tuareg, Tibbu, negroes, Ar-
abs and Jeava. His majesty thinks
that his pops lation needs the lea -
'en of Europe:te ., so he has invited
600 Breton and Corsican families
to his kingdom. These people will
be provideu with portable houses,
'Which his majesty will probablytbuy
in England. They will proceed on

they will ettucate the children and
urge on the parents to deeds of
virtue and piety. A gorgeous cathe-
dral will be raised in the metropo-
lis, and four missionaries will have
charge of this edifice. The mission-
aries in time will cease to be simple
missionaries and blossom forth as
I'hishops and archbishops. His maj-
esty proposes to ask the Pope to

A Picturesque Army.
• Jacques I. will have a picturesque
army. Be has been in Switzerland,
recruiting at Geneva and Montreux
[young men for his imperial forces.
Their uniform will consist of a spe-
cies of tunic similar to what the
-,wise Guard wears at the Vatican.
His troops will be commanded by an
ex -.French officer, who will have the
title of "field marshal of the im-
perial forces of the Saraha."
The ordinary officers will be re-
cruited from ex -non-commissioned
officers from carious European
armies. The emperor offers his of-
ficers good pay, rapid promotion,
and many decorations.
His Majesty, although be has not
les yet ordered a crown, bas had
various designs submitted to him.
So far they have not met with his
august pleasure, but lie has given
instructions to a Parisian jeweler to
make various crowns, one of which
be will eventually place upon his im-
perial head.
The emperor has determined to de-
velop the Sahara, and among other
of his enterprises is a railroad
which he proposes to build across
the desert. The immense wealth at
the command of tbis young man,
who, with his brother Robert, in-
herited from his father, the French
Sugar King, more than $60,000,000,
wilt enable him to keep up his im-
perial state for some little time at
least. .
The Reiser Outdone.
Paris, Oct. 8.—Jacques Lebudy,
"the Emperor of Sahara," has out-
emperored the German Emperor. It
appears that Capt. Jaures, comman-
der of the French cruiser Galilee, has

Moroccans. "Emperor Jacques I"
rises ip his might, and, "in the name
of civilization and humanity,"

and initiative.
