LONDON, May 2S.-Sir Edwin Ar
mold, who went to Moscow on behalf
of the Daily Telegraph, in his dispatch
to that paper, describing the scene at
the Kremlin and the entry of the car
into Moscow, says:
why cannot one write in colors?
There was never anything seen on any
stage like the living kaleidoscope of
fanciful attire, or fantastic hues and
embellishments visible around me, par
ticularly in the oriental element, and
ali the far eastern nations.
1.-THE officials from Khiva wore
many colored velvet robes, gold en-
broidered and sugar loaf hats.
Now China contributes a dazzling
group with Powered satin frocks and
vermillion buttoned hats.
Now a bevy of magnates from Lake
Baikal astound the eye with fur trim
med brocade and long red boots.
Now L recognize the gray surtout
and amber cap strings of the Coreans,
and try one of them with a greeting

Some of the Khirgiez Tartars then
appear in yellow silk and scarlet
shawls, outdoing all, and at a window
Of the Gostinnoy Dvor, there is a beau

and orange brocades, glistening with
pearls and turCuoises.
Il abandon in despair the poly-chro-
matte aspects of this point of the pa

uniformed in scarlet and gold, riding

and with gold and black bandoliers,
looking quite fit TO pace in front of-the

But here at last comes the august

prodigious sensation which such a
