among the natives generally that he
Is taking measures to avoid demon-
strations Great crowds gathered
about the entrance of Shepherds hotel,
where the Roosevelts are quartered,
and twice today Colonel and Mrs
Roosevelt were compelled to leave tho
building by the garden entrance to
keep away from the enthusiastic peo-
.lc.
Half an hour was spent this even
ing in conversation with the khedivc,
who showed the keenest interest
in Colonel Roosevelts hunting tour.
Politics was not discussed but there
was an exchange Of views on irriga-
tion and agriculture. The conversation
was conducted in English.
In the meantime the khediva re-
.ceived Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Ethel
with many marks of distinction. Cof-
with diamonds. The khedlva began
the conversation In French and 1t was
carried on in that language, She was
particularly interested in the position
Of women In America.
The khedvc returned the ex-presi-
dents visit at the American agency
where he remained some time. The
exchange of visits has given tho
greatest pleasure to both. In the
evening the Roosevelt party went by
automobile To the Mena house which
is close to the pyramids, to see tho
sphinx by moonlight. Articles which
appeared recently In some of tht
newspapers representing the young
Egypt party, attacking Colonel Roose'
welt for his speeches at Khartum II
which he emphasized the benefits o
British rule in the Sudan led to ap
prehension that there might be un
pleasant demonstrations here, bu
Colonel Roosevelt has declined the of
fer of police protection. and the pre-
mier and other officials are convince,
there Is nothing to fear.
