The interesting article on the port of Alexandria from the December Journal of the British Chamber of Commerce, which we published on Tuesday, deserves more than their passing notice which we gave of it, more especially in view of Lord Cromer's answer to the petition of the Chamber of Shipping, which we publish in another portion of to day's issue. Mr. Cornish is surprised that the system adopted at Marseilles (and other ports where there are artificially closed basins) for economizing quay space by mooring ships ``end on" for the purpose of loading and discharging, instead of broadside to the quays, is not in p use at Alexandria. The same surprise has been expressed by many others, very tre. quently, during the past eighteen or twenty years. The explanation is that when the Egyptian Government, thirty-five years ago, decided to carry out the existing harbor works at Alexandria, the intention was to 80 close in the quaye at which the ships of the Rubattino, Prince Line, Austrian Lloyd, Messageries, Ellerman, Russian, and Moss S.S. Companies are now berthed that the "endon" system of mooring them might be adopted. With this view, the arm which forms Quay E, now occupied by Messrs. Tamvaco and Carver, and the timber trade, and ends abruptly at Berth 16, was projected in the direction of the N.-W. corner of the Arsenal mole, parallel to the general line of quaye, leaving only an opening near the Arsenal for the entrance and exit of steamers. Such a protecting mole was obviously essential to enable the "end ons system of berthing ships to be carried out i with security to them and to the operations I b of loading and discharge on a "dead lee shore," with 4 of a mile drift of open water towards Ras-el Tin in the direction of the prevailing wind. When the arm we have spoken of had reached its present termination, it was thought i that, as the Mahmoudieh Canal would be lo constantly pouring mud and impurities of all kinds into an enclosed space with scarcely any tide to scour it out, this might be productive of sickness as well as the rapid silting up of the anchorage, and that the long role ! might prove a serious inconvenience to the manæuvring of the ships ; 80, after much! discussion, the late Admiral McKillop, who was strongly of this opinion, succeeded in getting the direction of the mole changed | as we now see it. The boat passage at the inner end of the great breakwater was left, mainly, for the above mentioned sanitary reasons, but a short breakwater outside the boat passage! was, doubtless, intended to be added, as a security to boats and to prevent the swell from entering the port.
Maritime opinion, we find, entirely differs from that of Mr. Cornish as
regards the value of the inside breakwater which he proposes, as a
protection to pontoons utilized after the Marseilles fashion alongside of
ships moored "end on" to the quays, under existing conditions. The drift of
water between the I breakwater and the quays would be far too
What the port of Alexandria is now suffer- from is not the waste of quay space to which Mr. Cornish attributes the present congestion, but, as statistics have shewn, the inadequate amount of quay space in proportion to its shipping as compared with other ports of the Mediterranean. This, again, is due (as Lord Cromer says) to the extraordinarily rapid increase of the prosperity of the port and of its imports and exports, combined with an abnormal import of timber during the present year and the impossibility of berthing all the ships bringing it in the inner harbour without vexatious delays. All this points to the necessity for the long-deferred removal of this very important and increasing import to a part of the harbour where the timber ships and the material itself can be provided with ample accommodation.
The condition of the port is that of a lanky youth who so rapidly outgrows his clothes. that the finances of his parents and the needle of his tailor can scarcely keep pace with his requirements, But the response of Lord Cromer to the representatives of shipping shows that there is no lack of goodwill on the part of the Government to meet all requirements in a practical and efficient manner and with as little delay as possible One of the great difficulties in effecting improvements and increase in berthing ac commodation for ships at the import quays north of the Canal is the fact of the con stant occupation of the latter, and the serious interruption to business which would be caused by the works, and necessary plant to carry them out, during a lengthy period: Hence the choice of the site for the four-berth mole at Quay K. now about to be widened, which, as Mr. Cornish says, was to be built in eight months but took four years to complete. We understand that the site of the four new berths to be constructed in 1905 in continuation of the quays towards the N: W. has been chosen for the same reason. A great obstruction to quay traffic, and one which will have to be dealt with sooner or later, is the Mahmoudieb Canal with its locks, which not only fills up the harbour with mud and pours into it much insanitary matter, but cuts the quays in two, forming a gulf passable only by a single-line railway bridge and a cart bridge, both liable to be closed at most inconvenient times. It also prevents all development of the city towards the West on account of the pau- city of bridge communication across it outside the Enceinte Douanière. If the present canal locks were removed, and the quays made continuous, an arm of the canal being thrown out, at the old military bakery, debouching, with new locks, a little east of the Abat- toir at Mex, the benefit would be very great to the quay traffic, and to the harbour, by putting a stop to its constant silting; it would also obviate the necessity for a new double-line railway bridge to replace the pre sent one at the canal locks,"
JAPANESE REVERSE
The Manchurian headquarters report that the Russian infantry made sundry attacks on various points yesterday, but were repulsed.
General Kuropatkin reports that during a series of reconnaissance yesterday, the Japanese were driven out from their entrenchments in a wood near the Sha-Ho railway bridge, which the Russians occupied. (Router.)
Six more guns, making a total of 13, were captured in the north fort,

Reuter's correspondent before Port Arthur says that the capture of the north fort will facilitate the general assault on the western ball of the eastern fort ridge. The Japanese now hold five out of seven of the guarding forts.

Owing to the scarcity of officers, the latest mobilization order includes the despatch to the Far East of cadets from most of the military behools.

The Times, in discussing the idea put forward by the Russian papers that Britain is tiring of the Japanese alliance, says that should a "casus foleris" unhappily arise, nothing would induce us to break our plighted word. (R)

The papers are publishing & variety of reports in connection with the suggestion that the Holl secret agents, who are supposed to be acting for Russia, have been endeavoring to bribe fishermen to swear there were torpedo boats amongst the trawlers.

Admiral Sir E. Ommanney is dead. (R.)
Admiral Sir Erasmus Ommanney, C.B., F.R.S., LL. D., was the seventh son of the late Sir Francis Molyneux Ommanney, the well-known Navy agent, and sometime M.P. for Barnstaple, and nephew of the late Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, K.C.B. He was born in London in 1814, and entered the Navy in 1826. As midshipman, he assisted at the landing of the British Army at Lisbon in 1827 and was at the battle of Navarino. He saw much service in the Mediterranean, East Indies and Coast of Africa. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1885, and immediately volunteered to serve with Capt. James Ross in anexpedition torelieve the whaling vessels, beset in the ice of Baffin's Bay. In Oct.,1840, be was promoted to Coramander, and studied the principles and construction of marine engines. With the "Vesuvius" he was actively employed on all parts of the Mediterranean for three years, being present arthe bombardment of Tangier by the Freuch. He then returned to England, and studied at the Portsmouth Naval College. After being promoted Captain in 1846, he was employed by the Government to help in carrying out the relief measurus during the Irish Famine, and in Feb., 1850, was selected to be second in command of the Arctic Expedition, under Captain Austin, to search after the Franklin Expedition, and was the first to discover traces of the missing ships. On his return to England he was appointed Deputy Controller General of the Coastguard, which he left on the outbreak of the war against Russia in 1854, when he was appointed to command the White Sea Expodition, which harassed the towns of Russian Lapland, and endured and service of considerable severity: In 1855 he was appointed to command a special service in the Baltic, assisted in the operations of the fleet in the Gulf of Finland, and was Senior Officer in the Gulf of Riga. In 1855 be proceeded to the West Indies, and took command of the "Brunswick," and was afterwards attached to the Channel Fleet and the Mediterranean Fleet. Captain t|Ommanney was lastly employed as Senior Offieoer in charge of the Naval establishments at I the Rock of Gibraltar, a post he was obliged to leave on being promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral in November, 1864. He was afterward knighted in recognition of Aretio ser tvices, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Since being retired by compulsion, be has served on the Thames Conservancy and devoted himself to the interests of learned societies. He served on the Councilof the British Association and accompanied the Society to the Meeting in Canada in 1884 on which occasion the honorary degree of LL.D. was conferred on him by the University of Montreal. In company with a well-known Berlin Profesesor and & Russian astronomer, he went to Luxor in Upper Egypt, and assisted in observoling the transit of Venus.

H.H. the Khedive did not leave Koubbeh Palace yesterday, having been confined to the Palace through a slight attack of influenza.
II. R. H. Prince Leopold of Battenberg arrived here this morning by the "train de luxo" from Cairo accompanied by his medical adviser.

The dimensions of the Legislative Council on the Assize Court scheme were suspended on account of the funeral of Menshawi Pasha. The definite result has not been made known, but we understand that the scheme has been practically accepted.
A telegram from Constantinople states that arrivals from Alexandria are now merely submitted to a medical examination.
In consequence of the removal of quarantine measures, the Khedivial mail steamer Dakaklich, which leaves Alexandria on Saturday for the Syrian coast, will follow her regular itinerary, i.e., she will proceed direct from Port Said to Jatia, then to Caiffa, Beirut, Tripoli, Mersina, and Alexandretta.
Yesterday's bulletin records a case at Port Said and anotherat Saez, the former being fatal.
The approaching establishment of the Ma. tual Life Association of Australasia (Limited) at Cairo las created considerable interest in commercial and financial circles in Egypt. The new Egyptian brauch is to be opened at Cairo on New Year's Day, and a branch at Alexandria will be opened very shortly. Mr. Gilleson, the London manager of the head office in England, arrived at Cairo yesterday and will superintend the inauguration in Egypt. The offices of the company will be in the courtyard of the Cairo Stock Exchange. The great feature of this assurance company, apart from the very low rates, is that there is no forfeiture of policies. This innovation was started by this company some years ago and has been 80 successful that it has already found many imitators among the leading Assurance companies throughout the world. The clauso in question runs as follows:
Under the provisions of the Association's non-forfeiture clause not only is the policy kept in force after default in paying the renewal premium, but all the rights of the policy holder (including that of renewal) are conserved until the surrender value of the policy is exhausted, and this without any previous application from the policyholder. This company, starting, as it does, under the auspices of such an energetic administrator as Sir William Willcocks, deserves to have a most successful career in Egypt.
Yesterday, the Countess of Cromer gave away the prizes at the above school. Lord Crorner was present, and there was a large gathering of the parents of the pupils. Dean Butcher delivered a short address describing the origin and objects of the school. Songs and recitations by the children followed, some in English and some in French. The pronunciation of the children was singularly distinot and clear. Lady Cromer gave away the prizes for good conduct and regular attendance. A vote of thanks was proposed by Rev. H. Cooper and a bouquet presented to Lady Uromer. An excellent tes was provided for the children.
The speakers offered a hearty tribute to Miss Taylor, the head mistress, who has labored with much energy and success to give sound instruction to her papile. The tone of the school is good, and we hope to see it before long outgrowing its present premises. The English population in the Shubra district is rapidly increasing, and we believe the school will be a real blessing to the neighborhood. A word of praise should be given to Miss Cooper and Miss Cullen, who assist Miss Taylor in her work.
Since the publication on Saturday of the paragraph concerning the festivities that are to be given in Cairo during the present season, the local committee engaged in organizing the fetes has been reconstituted as follows :-Me.

London, December 21. The seventh ordinary general meeting of the 8 Egyptian Delta Light Railway Company, Ltd., passed off satisfactorily yesterday at Winth Chester House, Old Broad-street. A dividend 5 % for the year was passed and the Board was given powers to increase the share capital by £334,600, inaking the total authorized Preference capital £1,250,000, which will enable the Board to provide funds as and when required for further extensions.
The authorized capital of the company, together with that of the Cairo-Helouan Railway, which was taken over on Monday, is now as follows:
Preference share capital £1,250,000 Deferred shares ......
110,000 Debentures ...... ..
816,000
Grand total £ 2,176,000 The authorized capital in 1898 was only £450,000, of which half was then issued, 80 that it will be seen the company has made considerable progress in the last six years.
A telegram has been received in Cairo announcing the arrival at Bussorah of Sir William Willcocks, who left Suez by the P. &0. mail steamer for Bombay about a month ago. Sir William will reach Baghdad next Saturday, whence he will make the lengthened tour throughout the whole of the province of Mesopotamia for which a fireman from the Sultan was recently granted.
It is stated that Harari Pasha will not resign his present appointment until the 1st May, and not on the 1st January as originally rumored. On that date he will replace Sir P William Willcocks as managing director of the company, the latter taking the direction of a new concern which is to undertake the amelioration of some 100,000 feddans of land at present "unirrigated'' and bring them under cultivation. We believe a concession has been asked from the Government for this purpose, the details of which have not yet, however, transpired.
We are informed on good authority that the statement made by several of our Cairo con temporaries, that Mr. Robin has been appointed manager of the Imperial Ottoman Bank, in succession to the late Mr. Hicks, is absolutely without foundation,

In spite of cold and rather dull weather the first important race-day of the Cairo season was a great success. There could be no two opinions as to the quality of the racing. It was good, and the attendance had reached very respectable proportions by 3 p.m., if a little thin during the first race or two. Among those present were nearly all the principal owners, of whom Khalil Pasha Khayat, with one first and two seconds, did best. But for a mistake by Jenkins in the first race, he might have obtained-1 ed another win, though Stillwell, on Parbon II, would in any case have been a formidable competitor. The Grand Khedivial Steeplechase produced an interesting race, but the great! The attraction of the day was, of course, that for the Jubilee Stakes, which was won by Pantasia. On ) weighing, however, Ibrahim Bey Cherif's joe-li key was about half a pound underweight and the race went to Roland, which, if not a general favorite, had been most confidently backed by his owner. Mathews, who rode Amory and came in fourth, did not weigh out, and so lost the third place, which would otherwise have fallen to him consequent disgust of the hope-13 ful few who had backed Elie Bey Sursock's horse. In the last race Moofid ran disappointingly and Roi de l'Air failed to keep up, giving Khalil Pasha Khayal's Banaback a well deserved win. The Band of the 2nd Royal Inniskilling 1 Fusiliers played during the afternoon, and all the arrangements of the K.S.C. were excellent. The Pari Mutuel paid pretty well, especially in the 2nd and 5th races. In the great race India, Paik, and Latiff were most fancied by the public. Roland's backing was limited-but successful.

(Pxomous FINANCIAL CORRESPONDENT.)
Londos, December 16. The political situation, although full of interest, has hul little effect on our Stock Markets since our last. The Yankee crowd still continues to occupy the attention of the whole home although there are signs that Mr. Lawson will be debarred in future from any further sensational market manipulations. In upsetting the Copper interests he also cansela stampede in the whole list of stocks and shares
adversely affecting interests in which he has no immediate concern. This has done more to give him his quietos than all his own opponents in the Copper market can be although that is considerable.
The market in Egyptian Stocks is somewhat werker, due it is said more to the cotton situation having produced some uneasiness in Alex andria and caused a temporary snake-out among some of the large boldings which exist on your side. Stocks have been offered down There under the lead of the Bank shares, which are the heaviest at time for writing. There has been a decided check, but nothing more serious, and should prove a healthy thing for the Market. Agriculture has dropped to 9, Nation els to 23, and the Now to 4 premium. Daima shares are also at 20 and Delta lands 22 premium. Daira Sugar remains firun at 34 which is in itself a verification of what we sailed of these sabers in our last letter. Salt and Soda are easier at 14 but are not a weak market by any means.
The wild movements of the American market acted somewhat as a check upon business and general, but the account on this side is not so Large - it was thought and the settlement has gone off without any serious difficulties. The tone of markets for the new account is very much steadier, and as far as South Africans are concerned may certainly be called strong. Paris has been supporting all the more active bears, particularly Goldfields and Charterers. Diamond shares look gool. Egyptian Mining hares should profit by the revival in other sections and ought to show a good profit on rosent prices early in the New Year. Xile Valloys close 29.

LORD CROMER'S STATEMENT
The following is the text of Lord Cromer's ply to Mr. Ricard, President of the Interna Sal Chamber at Shipping of Alexandria A way of the address of the Chamber to his Tship was published in our columns a few days ago:-
Le Caire, le 13 décembre 1904. J'ai l'honneur d'accuser réception de votre lettre du 3 courant, par laquelle vous me faites part des inconvénients qui résultent de Finsutisance d'emplacements pour les opéra tices de chargement et de déchargement dans le port d'Alexandrie.
En spouse, je m'empresse de vous informer aussitôt que j'ai reçu votre susdite lettre, je n'ai pas manqué de ale renseigner auprès da Gouvernement égyptien afin de connaltre les mesures qui auraient été projetées pour porter remède à l'état de choses que vous mavez siguale.
Or, il convient de faire observer en premier lieu que, de l'avis de l'administration, la situation actuelle dont se plaint le commerce se doit pas être attribuée uniquement à l'in
fisance des quais, mais plutôt à une coinci deuce de causes et de circonstances dont une partie, dans tous les cas, échappe à son action. Par exemple, l'administration estime que l'insuffisance notoire du nombre des mahonnes dans le port, ainsi que des moyens de transport nécessaires pour opérer le retrait régulier des marchandises d'importation en ville, constitue une eutrave à laquelle il est à présumer que les compagnies de navigation et le public auxquels ce soin incombe, ne négligeront pas tou ou tard de porter remède
De même l'arrivée simultanée dans le port de nombreux navires chargés de bois, a cer tainement produit pendant cette année un arret de navigation qui aurait pu être évité s les importateurs avaient, comme dans le passé, mieux pris leurs disposition en vue de l'ar rivée successive de ces mêmes navires. En outre, la tendance remarquée depuis quelque temps de laisser certaines marchandises encou brautes séjourner sur les quais bien au delà du temps normalement nécessaire à leur enlèvement, est dévenue aujourd'hui un véritable abus, à tel point que le gouvernement, afin de pouvoir assurer le libre accomplissement des opérations sur les quais, s'est vu obligé d'éla borer un règlement spécial eu la matière, règle ment qui est actuellement à l'étude. Il paral trait aussi que l'effet de la grève prolongée qui est survenue cette année à Marseille a été furtement ressenti à Alexandrie, par suite des grands arrivages résultant de l'accumulation des marchandises à expédier.
De sou cité, aussitôt qu'il a pú disposer
fouds nossaires, le gouvernement s'est préoccupé sérieusement de la question tant du inanque de wagut du chemin de fer dont s'est plaint le public à maintes reprises, que d'autres mesures qui lui incombent pour scorer la situation.
Les projets immédiats du gouvernement à e sujet peuvent être brièvement énumérés comme suit:
1. Achat de wagons de chemin de fer et construction d'une gare maritime à proximite de la Douane;
2. Elargissement du quai K de façon à lui donner une largeur d'environ 50 mètres. 3. Extension du quai J afla de créer 3 nouveaux accostages pour navires à vapeur, avec les magasins nécessaires pour l'entreposage des marchandises qu'ils débarquent
4. Extension du môle des charbons de façon à pourvoir ce inôle de trois mouillages additionnels avec quais;
& Construction de grands quais dans le port extérieur sur la côte de Gabbari pour le déchargement des navires qui apportent les bois de construction. Ce projet réalisé aurait pour effet de rendre libres les quais qui sont actuellement affectés à ce commerce dans le port intérieur et qui, par leur situation, seraient sptes aux opératious du commerce d'importa tion en général
Déplacement en dehors des quais du charbon importé par l'administration des che sins de fer qu'on a l'habitude d'entreposer au i sur le mole des charbons. Ce projet, laissant plus de place aux charbons ticuliers, permettra sans doute une ouve distribution des quais situés sur le dit
tout
molent on pourrait affecter quelques uns à das marchandises;
7. Cstruction oy acquisition par voie d'a newing grands magasins pour servir d'en ts. Ce nombre est en sus des magasins qui sont compris dans les projets d'extension men tionnés ci-dessus.
A l'exposé qui précède, permettez moi, Mon sieur le Président, d'ajouter quelques mots exprimant mes vues personnelles sur la situ
ation.
Dans ces dernières années, la prospérité du pays a augmenté à un degré hors de toute proportion avec les fonds restreints dont le Tresor égyptien avait la libre disposition.
Il en est résulté qu'en dépit des sommes que le gouvernement a pu épargner avec difficulté sur ses ressources pour les besoins immédiats et urgents, quelques administrations n'ont pa marcher de pair avec les progrès du commerce. Les Administrations des Chemius de fer et du Port d'Alexandrie se trouvaient dans ce cas; mais aussitôt que sa situation financière a change, le Gouvernement s'est empressé d'af fecter les crédits nécessaires pour mettre en exécution des projets dont une partie aurait été indubitablement déjà achevée si les fonds avaient été plus tôt disponibles
En ce qui concerne tout spécialement le port d'Alexandrie, il est à ma
connaissance qu'en delors des projets immédiats précités, le Goo vernement
en a d'autres à l'étude et si, à l'a chèvement des premiers, le port n'était
pas en stat de répondre aux besoins de la naviga
Toutefois il ne faudra pas perdre de vue qu'il estatériellement impossible au Gouvernement de mettre d'un seul coup la situation à jour. C'est ainsi que les travaux projetés d'extension des quais ne peuvent être exécutés que lentement. Il s'agit, en effet, non seulement de tra vailler dans une grande profondeur d'eau, mais encore on sera nécessairement obligé de régle menter le travail à faire dans le port intérieur de façon à causer le moins d'inconvénients possible aux opérations de chargement et de déchargement des navires accostés aux quais dans le voisinage des travaux.
Veuilles agréer, Monsieur le Président, les assurances de ma haute considération.

La Délégation Municipale s'est réunie le 20 décembre 1904 à 3 h. 1/2 p.m. sous la présidence de M. Amb. A. Ralli.
Présents: MM. Benachi, Fenderl, Mansour Bey Youssef, Mohamed Bey Said, Stross, Dr G. Valensin, membres, W. P. Chataway, administrateur, I. Sedky, secrétaire.
Après avoir terminé l'examen du budget pour 1905, la Délégation aborde l'ordre du jour ordinaire des questions soumises à son étude.
Elle décide de rappeler à la Société des Tramways sa promesse tendant à la pose d'ap pareils de protection au bas de ses voitures afin d'atténuer les accidents.
La Délégation prend note de la lettre de la Compagnie des Eaux informant qu'elle a décidé de réduire le prix de l'eau pour les services publics à 15 cent. ou lieu de 20 cent. à partir d'une consommation de 6000 L.E. et décide de soumettre cette lettre à la Commission.
Elle accepte la cession d'une rue proposée par M. Coroniadis à la station du palais de la Khedivah mere
A ce sujet, la Délégation invite le service du Tanzim, toutes les fois qu'arrivera à sa connaissance un projet de lotissement de vastes terrains privés, d'informer à titre offi cieux les intéressés qu'ils aient à se oneformer au point de vue de largeur de routes, de direetion, etc., aux indications du Tanzim, fante de quoi la Municipalité se refuserait ultérieure ment à accepter toute cession de rue. Ceci, bien entendu, en attendant qu'une réglemen tation intervienne sur la question.
La Délégation accepte en principe une proposition tendant à élaborer un réglement pour la police intérieure de l'Abattoir. Les services sont chargés de soumettre un projet, à cet égard.
Relativement à une plainte présentée par le syndicat des Compagnies d'assurances concernant l'encombrement des rues de Minet el Bassal, la Délégation a été d'avis qu'il y avait lieu d'une manière générale, de répri mer les abus actuels en restreignant autant que possible les surfaces où l'occupation ers permise. Les permis seraient accordés, période par période, d'après les nécessités du commerce et des lignes tracées sur les pa vés indiquant les limites des occupations afin de permettre à la police et aux agents municipaux d'exercer une surveillance plus efficace et d'empêcher, au besoin par la force, tout empiètement sur l'espace qui doit demesrer libre de la rue.
En ce qui concerne des plaintes relatives à l'encombrement du canal Mahmoudieb et de ses berges et vu l'absence de toute police de la navigation, la Délégation reflétant en cela les Voeux manifestés par le Commerce, charge l'Administrateur de lui soumettre un avant-projet war la question tant de la navigation sur le canal que de l'occupation des berges, avantprojet qui devra prévoir également l'établis sement d'une taxe sur le stationnement des barques et l'assignation d'endroits spéciaux oh les marchandises pourraient être emma gasinées.
La Délégation adjuge à M. Sathouras au prix indiqué dans le devis les travaux de confection de 10 guérites pour les cantonniers. Les offres pour fourniture d'articles divers nécessaires au service du nettoiement sont ren- voyées aux services pour rapport. La séance est levée à 8h. p.m.

To-day's values are 4@1 points higher than those of last Thurs day, the near positions having appreciated the most. There is no particular feature to notice; planters are reported to be holding back their cotton, at any rate there has been less disposition to sell, and the Southern Markets are higher. There is very little speculation, and all classes of operators are more or less waiting further developments. Although there is no general sentiment in favor of the article, there is an undercurrent of belief that present values fairly represent the situation. The latest quotations are, Delivery
