The capital and chief port is Lome (pop. about 5000), near the western frontier.
At stated intervals the native chiefs are summoned to Lome to discuss administrative matters with the government.
Louis Napoleon, however, acting probably on the advice of Dupuy de Lome, declined to use them.
You can only see those wildebeest in Kenya or Libya and far away from this country, Lome, Togo, West Africa.
There are telegraph and telephone lines between Lome and Little Popo, and both places are in telegraphic communication with the Gold Coast and Dahomey, and thus with the international cable system.
