Evidently the leaders do hot want their known and to 'spring the idea in a non-committal sort of way and see how it takes. A dispatch to the'St, Louis Globe denies the existence of any such movement 'as an.

organization, although it admits that certain members of Congrest wish to agitate, the matter before their constituencies. Itsays: The whole thing is without foundation be yond -the fact that several of the younger Republican -Representative the west have decidedn suggesting, in speeches to theirouituencies agitation oi certain isms now 'Cttjnng.

Among these are opposition to the National banking systemv'aeruan'd for government control, not the management ot tne 'iransportauon system; 'the submission of constitutional amendments Prohibiting special legislation in corporations and subsidies; the election of the President direct ana oi senators oy the people, instead of Legislatures in-the several States. This platform is a slight improvement upon the one proposed in the Graphic, but it no more likely to win.

But whatever course it may decide upon, whatever ideas it may select as necessary to be carried out in the legislation of the State or country, there inust be no shufiiirrg, no compromise, no' silence. The convention arrogates to itself the dis tinction of inaugurating anew political era, of introducing reform into politics, of carrying truth and fair dealing into gov ernment. To sustain these claims in such a manner as to secure belief and sup port, will require more courage than is usually found in conventloni.

We had the great good fortune a couple of weeks ago, at' the time of the festivities In honor of the marriage of two of the Khedive's daughters, of which I have spoken in a former letter, to receive invitations to the marriage in the royal harem.1 There are always two marriages, one in the harem, and one in the great hall of the as the bride ahd groom are married there being no ceremonial. All tne festivities take place entirely separately, and the happy couple never see each other until they have been married a when he takes her to his oalace. After the documents are signed, the other principal feature of the marriage la the bride's enthronement as a wife, which generally takes place some two or three days he-fore bridegroom's enthronement as 'a husband. It was to this enthronement in the harem that we were, through the kind' ness of our Consul General, invited; We reached the palace of Kass-el-Ali about 10 in the evening, and alter oeing onven throuzh three courts we descended at the end of a corridor which leads to the which is situated in the very heart of the building, the windows only Opening upon courts where no man is allowed, to enter. I We passed through this long hall and en tered a room where jwme slaves relieved us of our cloaks, and from where a mai tress of ceremonies ushered us into a salon, near the door.

of which stood two princesses, to. whom we were lead and in trod need. We ben to kiss their hands according to etiquette, but theyi withdrew them and saluted us in oriental style. The mai tress then motioned us to some seats and "Jhe room was very elegantly and richly furnisbed with embroidered divans, cash ions. some chain.

At one end were some girlaf dancing, dressed var. siiver-emoroidered aresaes, with castanets in their handa -They were not graceful nor aod we soon hurried away from them, to scan the otner occupants of the room. There were about five hundred present scattered in half-, a-d of en salons, -among which there were not more than five or six so that it was decidedly. as oaiaOTAVscxsaC -There was one yoUBg lady married last year, who is called the beauty of the harem, and has many of the family jewels, and I never saw so rich a dress as she wore on this occasion. The whole front of it was literally covered, with diamonds, and the train, was embroidered in silver thread to represent the finest point lace.

She had a magnificent necklace of very large diamonds, a tiara, bracelet and fan, all of diamonds, and. be- in I so 1 beautifuL evervwhere she went she) formed a picture never to be for- eotten. The older, members of the harem, the Khe dive mother and aunt were attired 'in the Turkish manner trowsers. short, skirts and looser composed of quite common materials, but almost all wore diadems of diamonds, even although many had common handkerchiefs tied over the head and under the chin. There waa every style of dress, from Jocee delaine mornmg-wrappers to the richest robe a Pa risian artiste could furnish, with-a limitless purse at ber command.

No1 jewels were worn, however, except diamonds and a very few opals, we aid not see one emerald nor ruby. iTom this room we passed into the others. in each of which something was going on for the amusement of the guests. There was a great deal of native music land wmcn oi an sounds are the worst in the V1. Soon after our arrival there was a ireneral movement towards tne nail and staircase and we followed the rest It was "Quite curious to see this crowd of woman mostly in tuu areas, witnout a single gentleman among them, and still more to think that only one man had looked npon any of their races.

it was the first and only time we had been able to see a number of Arabic and Egyptian women unveiled, and we looked with great interest on the new or rather ancient style of physiognomy, the long- pointed chin, thick sensuous lips and almond shaped eyes, with their heavy eye-brows, pointed by three times their natural thick ness, and their eyes and eye-lashes painted and powdered until their soft-velvety light At the top of the stairs we entered a large hall, through which the bride has to pass to uie inrone-room. in a jew moments Hr5DBKD- rCXCCBS eame In procession upi the staircase with branches, Of eight candles In their hands, and formed in two lines down the halL They were in all European dress, and black as African's Sun, could' maze major-domo alone was in-Turkish dress and he was resplendent in gofd embroidery and jewels, jaecurected some other eunuensto vr unroll a piece of carpet which was laving on one side of the hall, which proved to Be a cloth: of gold down.which the bride was to After a little waiting the bnde appeared, supported by two prin with. two to carry ber train of clothe of and. two more to hold her veil of silver: lace and busies.
