IMAM’S LARGE PARTY
ARABIANS FOR CORONATION. The Imam Yaliya Yemen is going to London for the Coronation, complete with a household consisting of 75 women, 10 eunuchs, and 20 special servants who are always at the Imam’s beck and call. His representative has already arrived and is searching for a large lionise, for the Imam and half a dozen other houses for the ha.rem. The Imam has never before left his native land of Arabia. There is another reason for his visiting London besides the Coronation. He is anxious to make contact with the British Government and establish a Legation in London, bringing his country into diplomatic equality with his powerful neighbour, lbu Sand, who is already represented.
