A TAMMANY PROMISE.
as Usual, 1t Is Broken-WonldDs
Municipal League Loser.

The woman's Municipal League. which AIDED
in the fight for the bill to regulate employ
ment agencies. signed by Governor Odell, Is an
other organization to suffer from the Tammany
thirst for jobs The new bill provides Tor 'the
appointment OF commissioner Of licenses In
cities of the first class. and number OF IN
spectors. Temporary appointment of sixteen
inspectors has just been made by Commissioner
Heating The privilege of nominating three
trained women for inspectors was promised to
the league. but it is to name only one The
league told that the political demand for these
places is so great that it must be satisfied with
a single nomination.
The temporary appointments do not amount
to much. Already The City Record has an
nOunced Civil Service examination for twenty
permanent inspectors on June 20, and the IN
spectors now at work will have to take the
examination. The Woman's Municipal League
fears Tammany has found a way to count It's
nomination out. According to the official an

EGYPTIAN PRINCE HERE.
Grandson of the First KhediUe Says
Confusion Here GiUes Him Vertigo.

The Prince and Princess Abbas Pacha Hahn.
who arrived from Egypt the steamship Prin-
cess Irene, are staying at the Holland House.
They are accompanied by Zekeria Zekt Bey and
Mahonet Imadeddyn Wahby Bey. The latter is
the ''Directeur General de la Daira des L. l.
A. A. les Princes Halim'' the significance of the
designation as explained by Wahby Bey, being
that he is the general manager of the large
landed interests of the late Abdul Hahn Pacha,
the father of Prince Hahn
The prince preserves his reserve and eX-
cIusiveness, and the princess in even a more
marked degree. Though himself declining to
be seen. the prince directed Wahby Bey to speak
for him. The Bey is the business representa-
tive of not merely the visiting prince and
princess. but of the three brothers and four
sisters of the prince. together with the wives
of each of the former making in all a daira, or
an association of twelve. He speaks French.
Arabic, Turkish and Persian.
The princess is the sister of the present Khe-
dive of Egypt. and the prince is the grandson
of Mahomet Ali the first Khedive.
THE princess" said wahby Bey, had gone
with the mother of the Khedive on her yacht
to Constantinople The prince went from Cairo
to Athens where she Joined him, and we then
came by way of Naples and Gibraltar. and after
a few days in New-York we shall go to st.
Louis to visit the exposition. On our return TO
waters. and shall be absent from Cairo about
four months.
1.-The prince regards New-York as beautirul
city and the buildings as 'grandiose. He has
never before seen people so much in hurry
so anxious to lose no time He remarked upon
the high buildings and the elevated railway
trains. with the maze of surface travel and
traffic underneath. He says the confusion
gives MIN vertigo. lie has seen elevators in
such nerve SCATTERING rapidity as those he has
encountered in New-YOriI-another evidence
that Americans lose time

Speaking of social conditions I'm Egypt. the
hey said: While il is permitted by the Koran
for Mahomctans to have plural wives to n limit
of four, polygamy is practised by neither the
