GEN. SLADE BIDS GOOD-BYE.
The 20th Hussars left Cairo to-day on their way back to England. At 9.30 a.m. the troop train of 22 carriages bearing the regiment to Alexandria steamed into Cairo station from Abbassieh. In spite of the prevailing dull weather, and a persistent drizzle, many friends! of the departing officers and men had gathered on the platform, and as soon as the train stepped, Major General Slade, C.B., accompanied by the field officers of the Army of Occupation and officers of the Egyptian Army, went for in ward to say "good-bye” to the regiment, the al colonel and officers stepping from the train to bid farewell. The General was loudly cheered by the men. In the meantime an Egyptian Army Band discoursed some selections of music.
After the leave-takings were over, the offi: oers returned to their carriages, and the train began to steam out, to the strains of "Auld
Lang Syne" and the sound of the heartiest Labaars in honor of the General Officer Commanding.
The regiment leaves many friends behind it, and its departure from Cairo is greatly 18 gretted
The regiment is expected to arrive at-Alexandria at 2.45 p.m. and will at once embark on the Dunera for passage to Sngland.
The Mounted Military Police and details, which arrived by the Dunera, disembarked early this morning and left for Cairo by troop train at 6.30 8.m.

Mr. Clowes, Inspector of Irrigation, has lett P for Wasta.
The water level in Fake Karoon is now one metre higher than during the past summer. The Irrigation Department has just put up & proper gang. Hitherto only a piece of woods has been used for the purpose of measurement
The new canals in the Fayoum desért will increase the cultivable area of the province By about 30,000 feddans.
Messrs. Anderson and Fowler inspected the working steam ploughs used on the lands of Prince Mohamed Aly, and which were supplied by them. I understand that these ploughs work much better than the American ones now in use in the Fayoum province.
Many Christian women want to give up their religion and become Mohamedans for the reason that either they dislike their husbands or are disliked by them, and are unable to get this state of things remedied by divorce. In this country it is very easy to become a Mohamedan and obtain the divorce required. I know many cases of this kind have taken place, not only here, but at other places, one of these being that of the Syrian woman to whom you referred in last Saturday's paper. Yesterday, I met another woman who wants to cbange her religion and become a follower of the Prophet. If Christian priests of various nationalities do not find some way of making divorce an easier matter than it is at present, I think that they will lose a good many of the members of their churches.
I quite agree with the writer of "Under the Mosquito Net" that England has not yet het lopeded in winting the affections of the Arab
Although Lord Cromer has done his best to coneitiate the follahoon, by relieving them from
oppression and mairy other ways, he has not Yet succeeded in gaining thromover and inIdeeing them to adopt w more friendly attitude | I to Englisken. There are two things to count for this; firstly, difference of religion,
difficulty of properly understanding each other's manners and customs. It is a fixed idea in the minds of the natives of this country that politics and religion and inse? parable, and it takes a long time to make them understand that the English are not intolerant land do not dislike those who differ from them
in belief. For myself I believe that an English woman may do more than an Englishman in educating native girls, and teaching them to | be timid and womanly. Once taught they will teach their children the lesson they themselves have learned.
The meeting of the Alexandria Municipal Commission which was to have been held yesterday had to be postponed because of lack of sufficient councillors to form a quortm. Only nine councillors put in an appearance. The adjourned meeting will be held on Saturday, next.
There has been no meeting of the Commission since November 2, and yesterday's fiksoo shows the extraordinary apathy of the councillors. The following gentlemen were the only ones who could find it convenient to perform their self-imposed daty, but owing to the slackhess of their fellows, they could transact no business: Sateh Bey Heldeni, Hassein Bey Riaz, Messrs.

(PROM OHR FEATURE CORRESPONDENT.)
London, November 25, 1904. We have reason to believe that the pour parlers concerning & dissipation of hostilities in the Far East are continuing, and some progress has been made, although matters she moving more slowly than was boped.
A significant telegram from St. Petersburg states that "General Kuropatkin has assured the Russian Government that no fighting of importance is likely to our stil the spring." This is all gradually making it all felt in the financial world, and the marked improvements in South Africans during the | past week have, as we anticipated, given a fresh impetus to this class of speculation generally. Egyptian Mining Companies in particular, have been well supported, and shew a further advance in prices. We drew attention some weeks ago to the front that there were signs of a reawakening of interest in this I section, and there has already been considerable rise from the prices then maling Nile Valleys, as foretold, bave come up during the past fortnight from 1-9/16 to 2, and are now a strong market at the latter prices with every prospect of much higher prices. The parent company, the United African Exploration Co., Lad., have risen from 14 to 2, and are spoken of as a very promising purchase. We understand that their financial position is very strong and that they have cash in hand considerably more than their total capital of £70,000, added to which they have a large holding of Nite Valley sharen, and are also heavily interest in the Nile Cold Storage Co., which with have been selling at 88/- to 40%- for the £1 share, consequently they should prote sebep purchase at anything like to dhy''pride. Some of the lower-priced shares should also be worth attention, such as Um Rus, Egyptian Mines and Mysore Reefs. The last named are in a thoroughly sound financial position they stand only at 7/. and should be cheap speculative look-up.
In Egyptian Stocks, Bank shares are very firm, Nationals keeping their price well at 24 and Agricultures at 11. Salt and Soda, though less active for the moment, keep up to 37/6, few, if any sharos, have come on the market Land Shares are somewhat musier, Afture has been the support for Dairs Stigar, which has risen to 6, largely on Paris purobabe. This is based on the failure of the beter and the consequent rise in the finished material
A new undertaking which appears to be supported by several influential people connected with Egypt is probably to make its apparatie shortly, under the title of The Corporation of Western Egypt. It is formed for the purpose of developing the large owner which an
tuated to the north west of Assouan, and about sh | 100 miles due west of the Nile Government in concessions for this purpose have already been obtained, providing for the construction of a ill light railway to connect the company triestory with the river. At this early stage it is
somewhat premature to express an opinion to its future, but we shall refer to it against an early date.
Prince Leopold of Battenberg will proceed to Egypt in the P. and O. steamer Arabia, which leaves London to-mofrow.
Professor Flindor Púteso, the celebrated Egyptologist, left his favourite hotel in Cairo, the Hotel da Nil, today for Upper Egypt to pursue his work of Egyptological research.

SCHRAGER BROS.' CALCUTTA MARKET REPORT FOR WEEK ENDING 10th NOVEMBER, 1904.
We have again to record a strong market, with a higher level of prices for both Heavy Goods and Hessians. Consuming centres apparently do not realise the strength of the position here, as they abstain from buying at the equivalents put forward, and the business for the most part for the past four days has been either speculative or covering.
Cornsacks and Hessian cloth in almost every position have been dealt in, and 21 lb 6 porter twilled goods are again coming to the fore and the asking price is now up to Rs. 26.
Burmah and the Straits are not sending up orders freely, but for such business as went through Rs. 26 was paid for 40" Heavy C bags, which establishes an advance of 3 annas on last week. More money is also asked for E bags and second hands have to be applied for Jany/March goods.
Hessians. The present position of Jute has taken even a stronger hold on cloth, and relief can only be expected with more plentiful supplies of the raw material. It is well nigh impossible to gauge the situation. The Ame- rican markets are consuming more and more Burlap every day, and with the Election over, there are prospects of big business. Manufacturers here have had the extension of trade in view in increasing their working power, and with every allowance for the deficiency in labour that must be experienced for a few months during next year, the question arises whether mills will have enough of the finer qualities of Jute to keep them fully employed. In this connection we can only be guided by reports that come in from the interior and these reports are by no means favorable. In the meantime prices of both nine and eleven porter cloth have further advanced to Rs. 8-8 and Rs. 10-6 respectively Nov/Decr.
A large line in 10 oz. cloth has been worked Jany/Sept. at Rs. 10-2 and no more to be had to-day at the price. Rs. 8-4 has also been paid for a quantity of 8 oz. cloth Jany/ March and Rs. 8-2 April/June, these pur- chases could probably be repeated, but not to any great extent.
The next two days are the last of the Poojah holidays and our circular is in consequence in advance of the mail.

KUTTABS AND GRANTS-IN-AID.
In a previous article we attempted to give some account of the condition of the kuttabs and to show what had been the success of the reforms introduced in those of them which were immediately under the control of the - Ministry of Public Instruction. To-day we give an analysis of the grant-in-aid system, an experiment of which the results promise to be "perhaps more interesting because more cap- able of expansion-the experiment of attempt- ing to reform the mass of independent kuttabs by a voluntary system of inspection and
or deputy magistrate.' In Oudh and the North West Provinces 'all gazetted officers, from the Commissioner to the Tahsildar, are expected by Government to interest themselves in the progress of education.""
After describing the organization of the grant-in-aid system, which aims at converting "cue kattab from a mere congeries of scholars into an efficient village school," the writer of the report devotes an interesting paragraph to the system of inspection. "In 1902, a special in- spectorate for kuttabs under inspection for grants-in-aid was formed, and a scheme of district inspectorships organised. The scheme has during the past year been further extended to meet the constantly growing requirements, and the inspectorate of kuttabs now embrace two native inspectors (Sheikh Mohammed Sherif and Sheikh Mohammed Aatef) res- ponsible for the supervision of Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt respectively, and 23 resident "The grant-in-aid system as applied to the native assistant-inspectors, responsible for as- kuttabs in Egypt is very simple. The Ministry signed districts. All of the members of this staff of Public Instruction offers to every 'native have passed through Al-Azhar University and elementary school in which all the instruction the Nasrieh Training College for Teachers of is given in Arabic' a small subsidy on condi-Arabic, and each has been selected for his spe tion that daily instruction is given in reading, culties requiring solution in connection with cial competence to deal with the peculiar diffi- -writing and arithmetic in accordance with an approved time-table, and that the kuttab reaches a satisfactory level of efficiency as fested by inspection."
rewards."
The points of difference between this system and that outlined in the previous article are 0. summarised as follows:-
(1) "The first experiment has been applied to less than 100 kuttabs, and can become applicable to others only by the further cession to the Government of other kuttabs, or by the establishment by the Ministry of improved kuttabs in competition with the kuttabs already existing; the second has already been applied to over 2,000 kuttabs and is applicable generally to the 10,000 kuttabs of the country." (2) "The first expenditure involves a direct expenditure on each kuttab for purely school purposes, of over L.E. 60 per annum ; the second has been carried on with an average direct expenditure on each aided kuttab of less than L.E. 5 per annum."
the kuttabs. The object with which the tuted was not merely to secure more atten- scheme of resident local inspectorship was insti- istry into closer relationship with the people tion for each kuttab, but also to bring the Min- of each district, and to provide a channel by made known and educational interests gene- which the objects of the Ministry could be rally advanced. These objects have during the past year been largely achieved." "A notable example of the help that may be derived from local sources has been furnished during the past year by the district of Esna. On the ini the Native Tribunal at Esna, a society was tiative of Ahmed Bey Abd El-Rehim, Judge in formed in the early part of the year for the improvement of the kuttabs of the district, and sum of L.E. 1,373 was subscribed locally in aid of the objects of the society. A strong working committee of local officials and landowners was formed, and an inquiry into the needs of each portion of the district was instituted. As a result, the society undertook to repair or construct 64 kuttabs, and in 34 of the kuttabs the work has already been carried out. It seems desirable that local assistance second, the Ministry exercises no direct con- should, when possible, be secured and recogni trol over the premises or staff, its authority sed in a more formal way.

(3) "Under the first experiment, the control of the Ministry over the premises is considerable, and over the teachers absolute; under the
In view of the demands made upon the Treasury in the material interests of the coun- try, it cannot be expected that large sums will as yet be available for the needs of education. It is therefore in favour of the system of grants-in-aid that it secures relative efficiency at a twelfth of the cost. This consideration, in fact, decides the question, for, in the words of the report, "in spite of the manifest superiority of the results obtained by the system of direct management, for the general mass of the kuttabs of the country the second system of administration, the grants-in-aid system, is alone practicable."
It is greatly to the credit of the officials of the Ministry of Public Instruction that, in spite of many initial difficulties, the first measure of success has been assured. "Time, tact and gentle treatment have gradually dispelled suspicions, and have given the fikis and the people confidence in the good intentions and wise purposes of the Ministry."
The extent of the development of the system is shown in a table giving statistics of the results obtained during the six years from 1898 to 1903. The number of kuttabs under inspection has risen from 301 to 2,623, the number of kuttabs awarded grants from 110 to 1,512, and the amount of grants awarded from L.E. 495 to L.E. 6,752. After noting the "curious inequality in the readiness with which the proposals of the Ministry have been adopted in different modifiers and cities'' the report continues:
"The extent to which the scheme has been adopted in each administrative district is in most cases proportionate to the interest taken in the scheme by the local Government officials. The early development of the scheme in the provinces of Beni-Souef, Ghizeh and Minieh was, for example, due to the sympathetic co- operation of H.E. Hassan Bey Radwan, the Moudir in succession of these three provinces, and the recent extension of the scheme to the provinces of Assiout and Dakahlieh is similarly due to the efforts of H.E. Hishmat Pasha, the Moudir in succession of these provinces."
In this connection, reference is effectively made to Indian experience, which, in educational and other matters, must always be a valuable guide to Egyptian administrators:
"In India, the coperation of the provincial officers and of the officials of other departments is utilized to a much greater extent than in Egypt. All officials of the Indian Govern- ment are expected to interest themselves in the extension and improvement of education. In the province of Bombay, 'outside the (Education) Department; all District officers, from the Collector to the Mamlatdar, are re- quired in the course of their annual tours to pay frequent visits of inspection to the primary schools situated within their respective charges, and they are occasionally present at the annual examination of the schools by the District Inspector. Every school is supplied with a book in which revenue officers and other visitors record the result of their inspection or examination." In Bengal 'schools of every. class are occasionally inspected by the revenue. officers, from the Commissioner to the assistant
The report of the Ministry of Public Instruction which is dealt with in these articles was published in the month of July last.
THE HOUSING QUESTION
AT ALEXANDRIA, OFFICIAL STATEMENT.
The following is the text of the Report of Mr. Chataway, Administrator of the Alex- andria Municipality, on the subject of cheaper houses for the poorer classes of the population of Alexandria. We reproduce the text in full: It appears to me that this extremely delicate and difficult problem has not been treated in the right way by either Mr. Alderson or the Commission des Locataires. The question of the housing of the artisan classes has been the subject of serious conferences in Europe among men who have made a special study of the welfare of the poor, while it is closely allied again with principles of political economy.
It is therefore absolutely necessary to go into the whole question of the condition of the artisans, the conditions of their wages, and the reasons that cause the present discontent in order to be able to grapple properly with the subject. It is not here a question of making a certain number of houses that will lodge a favoured few and give them special facilities over their fellow-labourers-it is a question of first dis- covering if their present condition is bad, if there is real distress among this class of men-and then, if this is so, what is the cause and, finally, what is the remedy.
We are told that there is distress-that they are unable to pay the high rents and are obliged to live in unhealthy houses.
case.
What is the cause? The first supposition would naturally be that trade is bad and that they are unable to earn their living-or in other words that the supply of labourers is greater than the demand; but this is not the Never in its existence has Alexandria been so prosperous. Never has there been such a demand for labourers. Then the cause must naturally be either that the labourers have acquired expensive habits and are living at a rate which their income does not justify, or it is that rents and living are too high and that the wage offered is not at a proper market rate. Had the cause of their distress been the first, namely, want of employment, it would be quite reasonable and in conformity with European ideas to have assisted the labourers even by charity to tide over the bad times. But it is not this-it is an unnatural condition of affairs caused by either the fault of the labourers or by the fault of the capitalists."
We told that it is the latter so I turn to the semedy of this:-
With regard to the wage offered not being at the proper market rate, if this is true, it cannot last long and it must necessarily right itself in a short time; but it would be well to ask here if it may not possibly be that a certain number of the labourers require greater luxury than the others who are quite as capable as they are and therefore able to compete in the market at a lower rate? How- ever, let us put that question to one side and turn to the question in point, namely, high rents.
We are told that the proprietors are raising the rents constantly and are demanding usurious rents, taking advantage of the excess of demand on supply.
If this is so, what is the remedy? Naturally build more houses and thus supply the deficiency, and it is this that both Mr. Alderson e and the committee propose to do, but unfortunately they seem to have at once lost sight of the original point of view and have fallen into the error of working out a scheme for the relief of the poor-and indeed only a very small portion of them.
We are told that the idea of building one block of houses is to encourage others to follow this example. Are they all therefore to have land free, or practically free, from the Government? Are they all to pay no taxes to the Municipality, to pay no water, nor to pay for their light? This on the face of it is absurd and, therefore, as it would be distinctly unfair for 100 families to be treated more favourably than all the others, the scheme in itself is not sound. Mr. Alderson seems to imagine that the water and light is a municipal rate. Needless to say it is not, and that it is certain the Water and Gas Companies would not supply water and gas free.
Again, the Municipality is asked to administrate these dwellings.
The suggestion is, therefore, that the Municipality should undertake all the administrative responsibility and labour, should guarantee 3% interest, and get no profit, but, on the contrary, forego its legitimate taxes, and on the other hand, that the tenants should have com- fortable dwellings and pay a minimum rent, and the capitalists get 6% for their money.
The idea would not be received unfavourably by the Municipality were it convinced that it would lead to good results, but it is regrettable that over and above the weak points already stated the project seems unsound on the following grounds:
The building is to cost £20,000 and contain 96 apartments; at least this is according to the plans, and not 110, as stated in Mr. Alderson's note. It is to occupy over 3000 sq. metres. Suppose the Government cedes this at £ the the metre and it is possible that the Govern- ment might be asked to cede land at a reason- able rate-the total cost will be £21,500, which works out at nearly £224-cost for each apartment. 10% on this is £22) a year- the rent to be charged for each apartment.
Are these artisans able to pay over £2 a month rent? I doubt it, for I understand they find 6 dollars a month rent difficult to meet. The question in my mind must be treated much more seriously.
Sound business men, who take an interest in the common weal of the inhabitants of the town, should be elected to a committee who in conjunction with the Société des Locataires would examine first of all (1) the true state of affairs, (2) the cause, (3) the remedy, and then work out a scheme on an economical and sound finan cial basis. The Municipality would naturally not only assist in elaborating the scheme, but also in putting into execution the project which, being recognised as the best, will have been adopted.
Such propositions as those before us are only liable to lead to great misunderstandings and discontent on the part of those who would consider their interests sacrificed in favour of a privileged minority, and also misunderstandings between those who, not understanding the real points in the question, beyond their personal comfort and those who are desirous to do all in their power to better the lives of the hardworkers but are aware of the grave danger in inaugurating a scheme which will only pauperize the working class.
