London, England.

The sufragettes of this city and
county have been so scandaIizing the
formal and dignifed legislators of the
realm that they have been thrown
quite off their feet and at a loss how
to handle the dreadful situation. The
irrepressibles have been invading gal
leries and daring to make audible OBJ
servations Accordingly an order was
made that women not we'll vouched for
should be excluded and so it now
stands, "Men only.' For a time
even the male sex was excluded, but
now, with few slight formalities,
hereafter to be described, q limited,
special few are admitted. But they
are excluded until perhaps an hour and
a half after the session opens. Your
correspondent has Ambassador Reid S
especial pass for the House of Lords
for July J., all previous ~dates OF his
being already filled. But this is how
he entered the house of Commons as
an ordinary mortal.
A bright young Irish policeman,
with a most interesting, but slight ac-
cent, tipped me an Emerald wink and
said; "Present yourself at the outer
duro and sind in yer card to Honor
able John Redmond He is an Irish
mimbcr and will do for ye." In this
way | was allowed to stand in line
with other favored ones. The officer,
when all was ready within, sand, "Ad'
vance fve." Only that number passed
in at a time After watching for the
signal within, the order, advance
fve," was repeated. So it went on,
the waiting list being out doors.
When becoming one of the sacred
number, we advanced to a vast, wait
ing chamber and were commanded by
a dignihed official to be seated. 1t
was long row. Every few moments
were were ordered to shove along.
Everything comes to him who waits
and we simply had to do that. Soon,
GIVE more" was heard and we passed
ON through labyrinthian and darkened
passages to where a splendidly arrayed
official gave us a pass. On we went
and then the command came, "Sign
your full name and address, When
the man saw that GU. S. AZ on my
slip he was specially polite and said,
"Would you kindly write your city
address, also9" This / did. Then
there being two great books ready,
the "blocks of five" were given pens
and told to write their pass number,
name and address in the proper space.
| noticed that / had agreed most
solemnly by signing that great tome,
to behave with BETTING decorum in
the place into which was soon to be
indicted. With that we Ave seekers
after light passed along and soon were
in the Great Presence.
Well, it was quite worth while, even
after that long initiation. First my
companion of the five put his silk hat
on the railing in front of him. A
duke, or a man who looked better than
the average duke, arrayed in tuxedo,
white vest, white tie and a great
golden badge of the lion and the uni
corn as large as ones hand hanging
from has neck down in front, told him
to remove it. The fellow blushed
but meelIly hid his hat. Congratulate
ing myself that mo one would catch me
mapping like that, l drew out a minute
calling card and with pencil stub,
well hidden between my knees, started
to write one word only; but suddenly
from behind / heard a sort of growl.
Looking back, there was another of
those barons, 'ENo writing, please. y
So America was squelched then and
there! There were finally FIVE rows of
raised seats at that end of the cham
Der we'll filed with men-not woman
to be seen. Soon, upon inspecting the
great apartment and looking to the
other end, | saw most extraordinary
spectacle. AT a point on a still higher
level were gilded iron gratings, much
like what one sees in the ordinary
prison windows, only that they were
not square, but more circular OF
curved. This grating went to the ton
