Judging by yesterday's telegram announcing the appointment of Kuropatkin to the supreme command and this morning's news of the departure of Alexeieff for St. Petersburg, it seems to be practically certain that the Admiral has been recalled. That officer, to whom, in the opinion of Europe at large, most of the Russian misfortunes are to be attributed, is to be let down very gently, as becomes the friend, if not more than the friend, of what is generally known as the Grand Ducal Ring. He has been summoned to the capital from the scene of his operations, strategic and financial, to give his opinion on the situation to his Sovereign face to face. And it may be prophesied with some confidence that if once he comes to St. Peters burg he will never return to Manchuria.
The whole history of Admital Alexeieff's tenure of power is one which makes
his recall an earnest of better times for Russia, if things are not too far
gone already. It was to his utter misjudgment of the position, diplomatic
and military, that was due the unpreparedness of the Tsar's Government and
forces at the beginning of this year. To his unwarranted contempt for a
yellow race must be largely attributed, not only the blindness at the
headquarters of the Russian General Staff to facts which were notorious to
officers of other na
These facts seem to show that the position is at last thoroughly appreciated at St. Petersburg, and that makes the prolongation of the war more assured than ever. For now that the Tsar has learnt, if not the whole truth, at any rate a great part of it, a different spirit should animate the Russian services. The great obstacle to efficiency has been removed, and Kuropatkin may be trusted to restore the much-needed discipline and "morale" of the troops at the front. On him everything now depends, for he is now in chief command.
From the Moayad to the Lewa is a far cry in many respects. Neither the journals themselves nor their proprietors and editors can by any possibility be coupled together by anyone at all acquainted with the character or history of either the men or their journals. But in this world, as the Buddhists say, no person or event stands alone. Everything has its action or re-action, direct or indirect, throughout all space. The highest science of the day confirms the doctrine that has thus come down to us from the long past ages when the wondrous temples of the Buddha were yet solid and unhewn rock. To use the time-honoured illustration of insignificant action, even the harmless and, in Egypt, most necessary cat cannot sneeze with- out causing a vibration of the ether that tra vels to the furthest limits of space and re-acts, possibly, in originating a breeze that thereafter may ruffle the whiskers of the cat. While infinitude itself is thus annihilated, it is not sur prising that it is possible to trace an intimate connection between mundane incidents that at first sight might appear to be more apart than is the equator from the poles. Thus it happens that when in bygone years the Sheikh Sadat, proud of his daughter's many accomplishments, introduced her to the Sheikh Ali Youssef, he little thought that one result of his doing so would be that Mustapha Pasha Kamel should write an impertinent letter to his Highness the Khedive.
When the matrimonial affairs of the Sheikh Ali Youssef were first brought before the public the Lewa, as might have been expected, seized the opportunity as one likely to bring grist to its mill by deflecting some of the popularity that the Moayad enjoyed to itself. But not content with using his own journal for this purpose, the "Patriot," no doubt rightly judging the very limited influence of his own organ, sought other channels and, as it is said, instigated an article so flagrant in its style in another journal that his Highness the Khedive at once issued a mandate forbidding the "Patriot" access to the Mateh. Knowing well how much such an order must discredit the claims he has always put forward to Khe divial support, the "Patriot" wrote the letter that all Egypt is now discussing and that every right-thinking man must condemn as an unpardonable outrage, one so gross and so evident that henceforth to support the Lew or to countenance Mustapha Pasha in any way will be to insult the Khedive. That it should be so is probably as well for the interests of the country and its people, but surely when the Sheikh Sadat introduced his daughter to the Sheikh Ali Youssef he little imagined that in doing so he was starting a chain of events having the discomfiture of the "Patriot" as one of its largest links.
TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS.
The Admiralty is in ignorance of the where- abouts of the Baltic Fleet, with which, they state, they have no means of communicating.
(Reuter.)
The Russian Consul has received many re despatches for Admiral Rodjestvensky.
(R.)
The trawler Gull has arrived with three sh
more wounded.
(Reuter.)
Lord Selborne, speaking at the Pilgrim's Banquet, said there is no doubt that Russia will offer ample apologies and reparation for the inexcusable outrage, will punish the culprits, and prevent recurrence of the incident. (R.))
The feeling here is distinctly more angry, especially owing to the silence of Admiral Rodjestvensky, and it is likely to be further inflamed by the Russian newspapers, which, to-day, while regretting the loss of life, that the British fleet would have done the same. The squadron had enormous respon- sibilities, with corresponding rights, and the trawlers ought to have been warned.
say
Count Benckerdorff has handed to Lord Lansdowne a preliminary reply, containing very full regrets, and the promise of complete reparation when the official reports arrive. A strong feeling prevails here that no reply will be satisfactory which does not promise the punishment of the culprits. Meanwhile, marked activity is shown at the Admiralty, and the dockyards are working at high pressure. (Reuter.)
Four battleships belonging to the Baltic fleet have arrived here. The others are following.
Admiral Rodjestvensky, with his arrivals, was immediately notified that he would not be allowed to coal or to take stores here. He replied that his ships were damaged, which was the reason why he had left the rest of his fleet.
Despite the prohibition, five German colliers went alongside the Russian warships. A Spanish cruiser sent boats to insist upon the compliance with the prohibition. Three colliers have since left for Tangier.
In reply to further representations, Admiral Rodjestvensky undertook not to coal in Spanish waters, but asked to be allowed to take suff- cient coal to carry him to Tangier. (Reuter.)
The Russian Squadron has arrived. Two of the battleships composing it are damaged. Admiral Rodjestvensky is asking for coal to enable him to reach Tangier.
As an explanation of the North Sea incident the Russian officers alleged that they noticed torpedo-boats and supposed it was a Japanese (Havas.)
attack.
Prince Keretelli, an officer on board the battleship Imperator Alexander, which has arrived here, explains that a transport, steam- ing ahead of the fleet in the North Sea, was suddenly surrounded by eight torpedo-boats. The transport asked for help. The battleship division then advanced, and signalled the strangers to leave, or state their nationality. The strangers refused to comply with the order and advanced among the battleships. The report of a gun was heard, whereupon the Russian Admiral, forming a line of battle, replied to the fire, and, afterwards continued his voyage.
The Admiral knew that the Japanese had purchased torpedo-boats in England, and, therefore, feared that the strangers were Japanese torpedo vessels.
Admiral Rodjestvensky, in an interview published in Madrid, declares that he acted in accordance with his conscience in order to prevent the destruction of his squadron. Before leaving Libau, he had announced his intention of attacking any ship approaching his fleet. (Reuter.)
The Spanish Minister of Marine states that
two Russian battleships are damaged, and that it is impossible for them to leave within the 84 hours,
(Reuter.)
Nothing had been received from Admiral Rodjestvensky till one o'clock this morning.
(Reuter.) the
The Daily Mail understands that Great Britain requires by this afternoon aquiescence in her demands for the punishment of the cul- prits, and for security against a recurrence of the incident, otherwise the Channel fleet will be instructed to ask the Baltic fleet to return. Lord Selborne left London last night for Portsmouth. (Reuter.)
An Ukase dated the 23rd inst. appoints Eg General Kuropatkin to the supreme command of the army in the East. Admiral Alexeieff y retains the Viceroyalty.

Mr. Papadopoulo, the Greek judge at the Hellenic Consulate, has finished his report on the enquiry into the alleged complicity of a Criticos in the murder of Nadoury Pasha. The judge states that Criticos is in no way guilty of the charge brought against him, and he must therefore be set free.
Nothing has been done by the Hellenic authorities in regard to Anastasi, the other accused man, as his Hellenic nationality has not yet been proved.
The new football and recreation ground at Abbassieh was opened on Saturday by General Slade at 4 p.m. Great interest was taken in the opening and in the football match between the 2nd Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, holders of the Egyptian Shield for 1904, and the picked XI. of the Abbassieh Garrison. Before the match opened the General in a brief speech hoped that the ground would be a source of pleasure to the British Garrison, and expressed his appreciation of the compliment paid him in naming the ground Slade's Park. He then declared the ground open. When the teams had lined up on the field the General, who was loudly cheered, kicked off for Abbassieh, who had lost the toss, and sent the ball into the Inniskillings' quarters. The match ended in a win for the latter team by 2 goals to nil.
Egyptian Stocks have been somewhat less active during the last week, but prices shew very little sign of giving way. National Bank of Egypt old shares have been well supported, and the price has risen to 211, and look firm; the new standing at 5 premium. Land shares are steady. Agricultural Banks are slightly lower for the moment at 94, the impending new e issue being perhaps a factor against them; but they are not by any means a bad market, and should be cheap at this price, as it will be some time before the new issue comes out; but when it is brought on the market there should be little doubt as to its success. Delta Deferred stand as high as 18-20, there being no shares obtainable. At this price they should be worth realizing.
In general markets, American Rails have a leading feature, and are wonderfully strong, the tendency being towards still higher prices. The South African Market looks good, and with a better tone there, other mining sections should also improve, and Egyptian Mines should profit. Nile Valleys keep very firm at 13. The Japanese victory has put a certain amount of check on Paris speculation this week, but this effect is only likely to be temporary as it should be pretty well discounted by now.
The Alexandria Municipality has just issued draft regulations for the sale of its lands. The has first draft was made in September, 1903, 18 F and so there has been plenty of time since then to draw up a satisfactory set of rules for the disposition of the property. We commence below the publication of these pan draft regulations, but we do not think they Cus will meet with general satisfaction, as some of the clauses are arbitrary and others are drawn up that no business man could entertain them. For example, if Clauses IV. and X. are Cas maintained, the result will be that intending purchasers will be discouraged. According to Clause IV., the purchaser will have no recourse against the Municipality in the case of a charge being found to exist on the lands. According to Clause X. the Municipality, which demands immediate payment, arrogates to itself the right to postpone the transfer of the lands until two months afterwards. It is to be hoped that the Finance Committee and the Contentieux Department of the Municipality will amend these anomalies.
The following is the text of the regulations:-
ART. 1.-Les terrains de la Municipalité seront catalogués et un prix d'évaluation sera at fixé pour chaque lot. Dans aucun cas, la vente de ces terrains ne devra être faite à un prix dos inférieur à celui fixé par l'évaluation. Ces prix seront revisés chaque année par le Comité d'estimation et modifiés s'il y a lieu.
ART. 2.-Les terrains seront vendus par voie d'enchères publiques, lorsque la Municipalité lé croira utile, soit d'office, soit à la suite de demandes d'achat.
Toutefois une exception sera faite à cette règle dans le cas où le Gouvernement désirerait, ill dans un but d'utilité générale, acquérir un bien de la Municipalité. Dans ce cas, les ter- Ba rains lui seront cédés au prix d'estimation du go catalogue. La cession de terrains an Gouverne- ment pourra également se faire par voie to d'échange.
ART. 3.-Les ventes seront portées à la con- los naissance du public, au moyen d'avis dans les U journaux. Ces avis seront également affichés à la Municipalité, au Gouvernorat et à la Bourse Khédiviale; ils désigneront les terrains mis en H vente; ils mentionneront la mise à prix et la manière dont l'adjudication aura lieu, ainsi que le jour et l'heure de cette adjudication. Si la vente est provoquée par des demandes d'achat, les intéressés seront avisés spécia- lement par lettre recommandée.
ART. 4.-Les terrains sont vendus tels qu'ils Ve se comportent, avec toutes leurs servitudes Ba
actives et passives et sans qu'aucun recours puisse être exercé, de ce chef, contre la
Municipalité.
ART. 5.--Les séances d'enchères auront lieu au plus tôt 15 jours après la publication des avis.

His Highness the Maharajah of Halawar has arrived at Alexandria from the Piraeus and mon is proceeding to Cairo to-day. His aide-de- camp, Major Benn, has engaged a large suite of rooms for his Highness at Shepheard's.
Yesterday afternoon his Highness, accom-panied by Chitty Bey, the Director General of arriv Customs, visited the Custom-House. He Khe went through the offices of the local direction and the tobacco department, and from there on to the schools and workshops of the Customs Porters Benevolent Society. H.H. visited each class-room and the shops of the different artizans. On his entering and leaving the building where the shops are situated the porters band played "God save the King" and the Khedivial anthem. H. H, remained about half-an-hour listening to the band playing different selections, and on leaving expressed great satisfaction with all he had seen, congratulating Khalil Bey Hamdy on the con- dition of the schools, shops, etc., etc.
Aida is always a popular opera to stage, Mr. and always will be, at any rate so long as it is deck produced in the manner it was done last night Pow at the Abbas Helmy Theatre. We always find the captious critic who is prepared to cry down everything, however excellent it may be, that is produced at this play-house, but few, we think, will be found to deny the credit that is rightly due to the management for the mag-nificent interpretation given of Verdi's opera. this Excellent as was the performance, it would have been decidedly better did not untoward circumstances interfere with this consumma- tion. In the first place, Sig. Cattadori fell ill and had to be replaced at the last Oct moment in the role of Amonasro by Sig. Barrione, who, notwithstanding,gave a distinctly good interpretation of the part. The tenor, Sig. Venerandi, was not in his best form, and, ton to cap all, Signa. Guerrina Fabri, whose reputa- tion is already firmly established, unfortunately lost her voice just before the performance. Th Under these conditions, it reflects all the more credit on those concerned for having given such an admirable representation of the opera. Signs. Honoria Popovici, another shining operatio "star," who, with Signa. Fabbri, made her debut last night, was in splendid voice and gave a fine rendering of the title role. In spite of Signa. Fabbri's indisposition, she also did ample justice to her part as Amneris. Both artistes were accorded rousing recalls. Sig. thi Venerandi was very good as Radames, Sig. Baldelli excellent as Ramfis, and Sig. Queirolo thoroughly efficient as the King. The orches-tration and mounting of the piece left abso- utely nothing to be desired, and the choruses were worthy of especial praise.
ALHAMBRA THEATRE.
Messrs. Minard and Gardet were fortunate in staging Brieux' comedy, Les Avariés. Last night's performance proved a great success, the house being crowded, and albeit the piece deals with a delicate subject it has a moral object. Messrs. Marmier and Silvestre had a difficult task which they filled admirably, M those words which one would perhaps have left unsaid being enunciated with due delicacy. Mile Leture was excellent in the second act, and M. Lhostes was also good. Mme Bonen, as the nurse, did well.
ESBEKIEH THEATRE, CAIRO.
"MEFISTOFELE."
On Monday last, we had a decidedly good P el performance of Boito's Mefistofelé. The opera T, itself presents many features of interest. When u originally produced in 1868 it failed as com-pletely as Carmen on its first appearance, but is since 1875 it has been recognised as one of àthe finest operas that modern Italy has pro-duced. The lack of any continuous binding thread of interest is its main fault, but it contains scenes of very unusual power and beauty, and in our opinion reproduces the spirit of la Goethe's Faust far more successfully than Gounod's masterpiece. The garden scene is a delightful piece of work. Margaret is here the Gretchen of Goethe's story, an innocent and e simple child, instead of the voluptuously sen-timental heroine of the French composer, and the delightful quartette ending in a burst of e-half-childish, half-hysterical laughter is beyond de criticism. Of the actors, Sig. Apostolu was in very good form and Sigua. Marchesi-Coniglio de acted and sang well as Margaret, the part Tai suiting her far better than that of Helen in the last 2 acts. Sig. F. Vecchioni took the very difficult role of Mefistofele with energy and verve and met with a large share of success. His rendering of the well-known "Ecco il Mon-do" was really good.

KEARSLEY AND CUNNINGHAM'S WEEKLY REPORT Liverpool, October 20.
Egyptian cotton has been in fair demand this week, and quotations of Brown, are raised per lb. and Good Upper per. Ib.
In Futures a moderate business has been done, the following being the closing quota tions:-
Octr. 7.48 Decr. 7.20 Feb. 7.10 April 7.9 Novr. 7.27 Jany. 7.12 Meh. 7,9 May 7.9 American Futures. The market this week has experienced constant fluctuations, but the tone has been quiet, and prices have had a declining tendency. To-day's closing values are generally 13 @ 15 points below those of last Thursday. The decline is chiefly due to the continued heavy crop movements, and favor able weather conditions; in addition, the Near positions have been pressed for sale, and tenders against October delivery have weighed upon the market, no one apparently caring, to handle the actual cotton. We are now about the period when killing frost occurred last year, and the temperature is still keeping fairly high. The general opinion seems to be that if this year, there is no killing frost until later on, prices will likely have a further, more or less, material decline. At any rate there is considerable nervousness and hesitation, and people prefer to operate very cautiously for the present.

Cours de l'Association des Courtiers en Marchandises
The proposals in Sir William Garstin's Report relating to the further development of Egypt having now been passed in review, there remain to be examined the proposals made in the interests of the Sudan.
A perusal of the reports and appendices contained in the Blue-book make this one point clear namely, that knowledge of the data necessary for the preparation of projects is the T most urgent need. Throughout the report are e scattered reminders that the data made use of w are assumptions or guesses, at the best based on probabilities. Consequently it is not surpris-le ing to find Lord Cromer declaring, in his w covering despatch, that "all that it is proposed E to do for the moment is to spend L.E. 24,000 ait year on the employment of a competent staff) to examine more closely into some of the various projects to which Sir William Garstin of has directed attention." All that Sir William I professes to do in his report is to indicate the w different projects requiring study.
It is proposed, then, and practically decided, m to form an irrigation service in the Sudan, subject to the control of the Ministry of Public in Works in Egypt, the necessity for such control being indisputable. A great step towards success has been made in appointing Mr. C. E. Dupuis head of the new service, and in giving him Mr. P. M. Tottenham as his assistant, a combination of talent and energy which has already done much to improve the irrigation system of the Central Delta in Egypt. The only objection to this arrangement is that Egypt must lose their services so long as they are given to the Sudan.
It has been suggested, by critics of the Egyptian Government that the study of the h Upper Nile problems by competent engineers, E with their headquarters in the Sudan, might have been set on foot some years ago, after the battle of Omdurman. Probably this was not e done on account of the difficulty of finding the u money and the men. But Egypt could have found L.E. 24,000 easily for some years past; S and I imagine that it is no easier now than it was a few years ago for Egypt to spare its irrigation, officers.
It seems to me, moreover, a subject for regret that the men who accompanied the chiefs of the various expeditions to the Upper Nile, made since 1898, were not selected from among those who might now become members of the Sudan Irrigation Service, and who would be more useful in the preliminary operations) of the service if they already possessed a general knowledge of the country. The con- venience of Egypt was no doubt consulted, and those officers were taken who could best be spared.
The different projects requiring study are given by Sir W. Garstin, in what he considers their order of importance, as below:- (1) Open barrage near Wad Medani on the Blue Nile.
(2) Dam and storage reservoir near Rosaires on the Blue Nile.
(3) River Gash irrigation.
(4) Dam and storage reservoir near Khashm- el-Girba on the Atbara River.
(5) Storage Reservoirs on the Dinder and Rahad rivers.
(6) Storage reservoirs on the Upper Atbara. It will, perhaps, be most convenient to exa mine the proposals, grouped with reference to the rivers affecting then, under the following heads
(1) Blue Nile projects." (2) River Gash project. (3) River Atbara projects.
(4) Berber to Khartoum proposals. It is as well to deal with the questions
of the Blue Nile first, as determining the general irrigation policy that it
may be best to adopt for the Sudan. In the first place, let us dispose of
the question of the utilisation of Lake Tsana in Abyssinia as a storage
reservoir. Mr. Dupuis visited and made the circuit of this lake in January
and February, 1903. His observations show that Lake Tsana cannot claim to be
the source of the Blue Nile, for, as Sir W. Garstin remarks, if Mr. Dupuis'
calculations are in any way accurate, "it is evident that this lake plays a
very small part indeed in the flood discharge of the Blue Nile, and that its
in- fluence upon the volume of the river is extreme- ly limited." This,
however, is in its favour 95 A possible storage reservoir, as control
Before calculating what the possibilities of Lake Tsana as a storage reservoir may be, it will be as well to note what the natural dis-charges of the Blue Nile are, and what supplementing they require at different seasons. The flood discharge varies from 7,000 to 12,000 b cubic metres a second, sufficient for all land w within reach. If the Sudan abstracts so con- C siderable a portion of the flood as to affect the levels of the Nile in Egypt materially, this b will be a matter of no consequence when all d Egypt is converted to perennial irrigation. It it is not so converted, then Egypt must meet the situation by making barrages to produce artificially the levels required, as the volume of the flood will be always more than sufficient. In high floods the reduction of the flood levels will be a relief to Egypt. So we may conclude that the flood supply is equal to all requirements, since a discharge of 2,000 cubic metres a second would fill one million acres of basin C in thirty days; though what the possible basin area may become is one of those things which are not yet determined.
(To be continued.)
Much sympathy is felt at Vienna with the celebrated authoress, Helene Boehlau, in her matrimonial troubles. She married a Turk, Al Rashid. After eighteen years of happiness Al Rashid is claimed by his first wife, to whom he had been united years before he met Miss Helene Boehlau. The latter is a lady of great sensitiveness. She was born the daughter of a well-known Weimar publisher, and at the early age of twenty had already written three ultra-pessimistic novels. It was at that time that her future husband gained power over her. She followed him to Constantinople, where she embraced Islam and soon married him. At the same time she wrote a book, "Guilty, though of Pure Heart," in which she explained in a romantic form the reasons for her decisive step, which shocked her former friends in Weimar.
An interesting statement has been published about a conversation between Dr. Herzl, the pro-tagonist of Zionism, and Count Bulow, whom he met on two occasions. Both times Dr. Herzl tried to interest the German Chancellor for the scheme he had so near at heart. Count Bulow says he has never seen a more barren land than Palestine, and feels sure that none of the wealthier or better class Jews would ever agree to emigrate to that country. The lower classes who would be ready to go there are not made of the stuff to build empires in the desert, and do not even form a good nucleus for a new colony. The Count thinks that the rich and educated Jews in all civilised countries are so much interwoven with the interests and prosperities of their adopted homes that emigration is quite out of the question. He admits the miserable condition of the Eastern Jews, and thinks something should be done to assist them. However, Palestine is not the place for them, and he believes that in spite of past failures the colonisation scheme in the Argentine Republic is the most likely to succeed in the end.
After nineteen hours' gorging, Phill Melloy, who posed as the world's champion eater, died on Monday week at Dubuque, Iowa. For a bet of £20 he ate 85lb. of raw beef. Elated by success, he went out and consumed three large cans of salmon and four apple pies at a restaurant. Melloy's size increased fourfold, his face became very bloated, and he was unable to walk home. When put to bed he rolled out, and died in great agony. Usually Melloy ate sparingly, reserving himself for championship competitions. His stomach was very elastic, and at eating competitions he wore special raiment,
Chiefly, if not entirely, owing to the reports in the European Press of memorial services held in various parts of Greece, praying for the success of the Russian arms in the war with Japan, and for the salvation of the souls of the Russian dead, there would appear to be a belief that the Greeks are enthusiastic sup- porters of Russia in the war now raging in the Far East. Nothing, however, could be more opposed to the actual state of feeling among Greeks of all classes and politics, with the doubtful exception of the Church, though it is not easy to understand why this exception even should exist seeing that in all quarters of the Near East the Russian Church openly or secretly working to undermine the influence and power of the Greek Patriarchate and bishops.
In Palestine and in Macedonia the story is the same, and it is more accentuated perhaps in Mount Athos, where the Russians, and their protégés the Bulgarians, are rapidly ousting the Greek monks from the holy mountain. Ignorance, one of the chief characteristics, if indeed not an indispensable qualification of the Greek priesthood, has for some time past blinded the eyes of the clergy to the work which Russia is carrying on against the Greek Church, as opposed to the Russo-Greek, and though most of the more educated clergy are becoming aware of the Russian designs, they do not yet give public effect to their views in the matter, unlike the Press, which is daily in- forming the public of the growing danger.
Owing to the fact that Russia is one of the "protecting Powers" of Greece, official Greece Considers itself bound to give public expression to its official prayers and wishes for the success of the "protecting Power," but the private opinions of the various Mayors and others who have (in some cases on their own initiative) convoked services on behalf of the Russian arms, must, we will hope, have been left on the threshold of the church in most instances.
THE PRIEST'S ARGUMENT.
I have had the curiosity to ask several priests the reason for these services, and invariably met with the same answer to all intents and purposes: "Well, we are obliged to pray for the success of the Christians against the heathen." On my asking if this applied to any differences which might possibly arise between Bulgaria and Turkey for instance, they remarked that the case was different, as the Bulgarians are not real Christians in that they murder and persecute their Christian Greek brethren in Macedonia.
When I recall certain incidents connected with Russians and Chinese during the late international expedition to Pekin, and with the Russian occupation of Manchuria, they replied: "Yes, it is true, and we know that the Russians are barbarous, but what can we do, they are our protectors." Sometimes the addition is made that the expression of sympa thy with Russia is due to a desire to avoid offending the Queen, who, though a Greek Queen, never forgets that she was first a Rus- sian Grand Duchess. This argument must be a new one, as the idea of avoiding offence to the Queen had no existence during the war of 1897.
The fact is that Greeks remember Navarino, and that Russian ships took part in that battle they may remember that it was not Russia which described that action as an "untoward event." They remember that Russia has conti- nually fought Greece's old enemy Turkey, and they remember that a telegram from the Rusnian Emperor stayed the conquering Turk out- side Lamia and put an end to his advance during the disastrous war of 1897, but they do not forget that Russia poses as the champion of Pan Slavism, which spells annihilation to Greece and Greek aspirations in every quarter. They are not dead to the shortcomings of the Russian race and policy, and in the words which a former Prime Minister of Greece used to me in speaking of the present war, they feel that in this war, at any rate, "the victory or Russia would be the victory of barbarism and the victory of wrong."
To return to the memorial services, in none
of these has such enthusiasm been evinced as in the case of the Boer war, when a British victory was received with as much enthusiasm as if it had been a Greek victory, not because of any feeling against the Boers, whose bravery and stubbornness they admired as much as any people, but because they were persuaded that the victory of Great Britain would be the vic- tory of progress and right.
GERMAN ENTERPRISE IN GREECE
Athens, Oct. 20.
A party of German merchants and capitalists, among whom is an Imperial Minister, is visiting the chief towns of Greece and the Levant with a view to studying the markets and their suitability for investing capital. The visit is said to be connected with the probability of the connection of the Piraeus- Larissa Railway with the Turkish railways and the expected advantages to be derived there- from by German merchants,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE.
Sir, In view of the many and important successes obtained both on land and sea by the Japanese forces during the few months that have elapsed since the commencement of the Russo-Japanese war, it may appear absurd to use such a term as failure in connection with the consummately skilful operations of the Japanese; but calm consi- deration of past and intelligent anticipation of probable future events point unmistakably to the conclusion that, so far, the net result of Japan's attack on Russia is-failure.
The one prime necessity for Japan was that she should strike a series of staggering blows at her enemy to obtain such a com- manding position in Manchuria before Russia T could rally from them, that she would be in the position to dictate terms of peace F and gain the ends she sought. Russia was admittedly unready for war and Japan was led to believe from the reports of her many spies that success would attend her venture. Eight months have elapsed since the first blow was struck, and what is the situation today? At an enormous cost of life and treasure Japan has inflicted defeat after defeat upon the Russians, only to find her armies still south of Mukden and a triple line of defences between her and the ancient capital of Man- charia that certain newspapers (don't blush, Mr. Editor) so confidently anticipated would be in her possession as a consequence of the recent battle; while the Russians themselves were expecting that their army would have retreated to Harbin before now (and it has been freely stated that Kuropatkin himself contemplated the possibility of the step be- coming necessary), and the general expectation was that before the advent of winter, the Japanese would have established a new govern- ment throughout Manchuria. A glance at the map will show how far the performance has fallen short of the anticipation.
And now that the completion of the circum- Baikal railway enables Russia to pour in fresh supplies of men and material practically ad. lib., while the Baltic fleet (a somewhat substantial "bogey") is well on its way to the Far East and may possibly give the supremacy on the sea to Russia, surely it is too late to expect Japan to bring off a coup-de-main.
Has not the time come for her to reconsider her position and take into account future possi- bilities?
Were she to lose the command of the sea what would be the position of her forces in Manchuria 7 In all probability Japanese sol- diers would prefer death to surrender and a loss of life fearful to contemplate would ensue. Bereft of the flower of its manhood, what possible chance would the nation have for many a long year of continuing that wonderful progress that has called forth the world's admiration in recent years?
Japan should "be wise-and be wise in time." I write entirely without bias and from what I wish to be an unprejudiced point of view, simply dealing with established facts and reasonable probabilities. If I have any lean- ings at all I must admit that they are in favour of the white, rather than the yellow race, and it rather surprises me to find the sympathies of most Englishmen so passionately enlisted on the side of the latter. For I doubt if the success of Japan would be to the advant- age of the world at large, apart from any question of what is termed the "Yellow Peril." I am, etc.,
What was the cost of the battle of Liao-yang! This is how an expert in the manufacture of munitions reckons it up. There were 125,000 Russians and 150,000 Japanese. Deducting reserves and allowing for the fact that all conld not be fighting at once, some 60,000 Russians and 80,000 Japanese were fighting for sixty hours, consuming 1,200 cartridges par man, or a total of sixty millions, worth £400,000. The 300 cannon used in the battle fired some 450,000 shells at an average price of 88., or a total of £180,000. These sums do not, of course, include the cost of repairing the guns and cannon, and after two or three battles like that of Liao-yang they will all require serious attention. The Japanese field-guns cost about £400 each. The big guns defending Port Arthur go to £40,000, and fire away £50 at every shot. Up to the present the Japanese Government has spent on war material some £12,000,000, and the Russian double that sum, so that in all some £36,000,000 have come out of the different arsenals of Europe and Asia.
