OBSERVATIONS BY THE SURVEY DEPARTMENT.
The weather was calm and clear throughout the day. At midnight the wind freshened and the weather became squally and showery from the N.W. and remained so during the night. The morning opened fine. Barometer rising and high.
Some interesting reflections are suggested by the article on Sudan trade in another column of today's issue. In any arrangements for the development of trade, railways most always take a prominent place, and so much has beenhbeard of the Red Sea-Nile Railway that it may perhaps not be inopportune to enquire into the relative advantages offered by this route as against the present means of communication via Alexandria, Port Said, and Suez. We do not intend to touch upon the Political aspect of the question, other than to say that both the harbour and railway works are a natural consquence of a settled and farscing administration, and that similarly to the building of the line from Haifa to Khartoum, so will the completion of this project remain a tribute to the prompter and to the executors concerned in the undertaking.
Looking, however, to immediate results, say for the five years following on the opening of the line, it promises no commercial advantages over the existing route. On the contrary, the freight will be higher and the duration of the journey longer. Liverpool and London steamers ask 15s. more per ton to Sualin than to Alexandria and stipulate transhipment at the latter port Antwerp lines demand 55 frs per ton in addition to the ordinary rate to Alexandria. The Austrian Lloyd hand their goods for Suakin over to the Khedivial Line at Port Said, the Khedivial vary naturally retaining two-thirds of the total rate from Trieste to Suakin. Only vessels occasionally carrying full Government cargo, perhaps also the Florio-Rubattino Line, will call direct at Suakin, and it will be years before inland trade and commerce will be remunerative enough to render Sheikh Barghoot a regular port of call. It is expected that some of the Abyssinian trade miy be diverted towards Suakin, but apparently the Austrian Lloyd do not share this opinion, as they are making arrangements to develop Abyssinian traffic via Tadjurs Bay and to establish a regular line through that channel. Nor in the matter of the export of gum can Suakin compete with Sues in facilities. At the latter port all homeward-bound vessels have to call for provisions, to land and embark passengers, and to unload their heavy cargoes for distribution all over Egypt In order to replete their holds, they practically take in gum at ballast rates and for all destinations. It is, further, not to be overlooked that fully half of this staple product is taken up by Cairo dealers, who assort and otherwise handle the gum at Cairo before reshipment.
In a spirit of competition, Nile navigation companies can always afford to further lower their rates for gum as well as for general merchandise via Alexandria and Halfa, and the Egyptian Railways Administration may also see its way to make a reduction rather than forego the business altogether. The remark has been thrown out that the railway rate between the junction at Damer or Berber to Halfa could be increased, but one can hardly credit the authorities as being keen on such an artificial measure, which would be more productive of harm than good, and little likely to attain the object desired.
As for tourists, Suakin is of no consequences, unless some travellers from India care to "do" the Sudan and Egypt from that point; but few firat-class steamers could afford to call unless they carried a fair number of passengers booked in that direction, and that is very questionable. The risks generally, to both passengers and freight, are greater via Suakin than by the Nile route, and the journey is rougher and longer. Cotton exports, too, can be relegated for consideration beyond the tens of our review. There will be nothing of any magnitude for another five years at least For the Public Works, however, the new line should prove both convenient and economical, as also for the import of heavy and bulky materials of all descriptions. A great impetus will necessarily be given to the conveyance and introduction of Bengal coal. The fuel question, in fact, appears to be an argent matter, but that again is primarily for Government requirements. This is of no momentary interest to the public at large, nor will it be till the time when there is a free supply of water for irrigation purposes. The main feature therefore of the Suakin harbour and railway is concentrated in the fact of their being the earnest commencement of a network of public works in the country, of which this will famish a most important link.
The Russians are evacuating Port Arthur. The Japanese will make their formal entry on the 8th inst.

General Nogi reports that the total number of the surrendered amounts to 48,000, of whom 16,000 are sick and wounded. The transfer of the forts and batteries is completed.
It is impossible to move the majority of the sick and wounded. The Japanese are hurrying food and medicine to Port Arthur.
(Reuter.)
With reference to the statement that there will be an enquiry regarding the surrender of Port Arthur, the Novoye Vremya declares :— "Let us have a court-martial by all means, and then we shall discover why the fortress was not supplied with food and munitions and who are Russia's real enemies. Such enemies are infinitely more dangerous than the Japanese.''

The "Andromeda" has returned. The Japanese would not allow her to disembark the stores or to approach the land on the ground of the presence of undiscovered mines. (R.)
France, replying to the representations made by Japan regarding the coaling and victualling of the Baltic Fleet in Madagascar, says that there is no danger of the non-observance of her neutrality, as the local authorities have received strict instructions.

Two Japanese cruisers have been signalled outside the port.

The British S.S. " Nigretia" has been condemned by the Prize Court.

The old established newspaper Rus and the new liberal paper Nashidni have been warned and penalized owing to articles on the fall of Port Arthur. They declared that reforms are essential to Russia's rehabilitation. The Nashidni also strongly urged that peace should be made.
(Reuter.)
Lord Selborne, speaking at Wolverhampton, said that we regard the Russians and Japanese with the greatest respect. It is comparatively esay to admire the Japanese as they are our allies, and we do admire them without restraint or reserve. It would, however, ill become us if we did not equally admire the Russians.

We are glad to be able to announce that the excitement which prevailed yesterday among the "abonnes" of the Alexandria and Ramlah Railway has in a great measure subsided, and the various sentiments, ranging from wild defiance to passive but indignant submission, have now given way to a conviction that we are within measurable distance of a peaceful settlement of the question. The public is awaiting with great interest the results of this afternoon's deliberations of the board of directors of the company, which will meet at 4 o'clock, when a decision will be arrived at in regard to the establishment of a definite tarif which will satisfy the legitimate demands of the public. Boghos Pasha Nubar, the chairman of the company, is now on his way from Cairo to attend this afternoon's meeting.
Throughout yesterday morning a posse of the Alexandria City Police remained at the Alexandria terminus of the line and a large number of "proces verbaux" were drawn up against recalcitrant Ramlehites who insisted on travelling without paying their fares. A climax was reached shortly after noon, when a scene of considerable excitement ensued, as large numbers of the Ramlehites were flocking to the terminus in order to get home to their midday meal. Some of them showed signs of defiance and tried to pass through the gates without tickets in spite of the efforts of the police. They forced the police cordon and made for the cars with a rush. They succeeded in boarding the cars and triumphantly got off to Ramleh without having to submit to the exactions of the company.
At 2 p.m. the company, seeing that the presence of the police appeared to aggravate the exasperated feelings of the Ramlahites, asked the Commandant, Miralai Hopkinson Bey, to withdraw his men from the station. This was done and the wise step appeared to greatly relieve the feeling of extreme tension. Immediately afterwards the delegates of the Ramlehites distributed the following
Ramlisti!
Abbiamo l'onore d'informarvi che da questo momento la forza di polizia si e ritirata dalla stazione.
Vi esortiamo dunque al buon ordine ed aspettare fino a nuovo avviso per darvi il risultato delle trattative in corso.
Sono pure pregati tutti quelli che gli viene richiesto d'indicare il loro nome, di non refiutarlo all'ispettore della Compagnia in funsione.
Consigliamo la calms.

After the publication of this manifesto, it was felt that the most acute stage of the crisis had been passed, and the excitement that had hitherto prevailed began to gradually fizzle away, to be replaced by more calm feelings. We are happy to state that the attitude of both is becoming more and more conciliatory and the feeling appears to be gradually gaining ground that some modus vivendi will be ultimately discovered, for there is no doubt that the new tarif cannot be maintained. A a sign of the improvement in the outlook, we may mention that the company did not make any application for extra police this morning at the Alexandria terminus, which has resumed its wonted peaceful appearance.
of Ramlehites has been convened for to-morrow evening by the delegates. It will begin at 9 p.m. and will be held at the Bacos Theatre. The results of the deliberations of the board of directors will be carefully and judicially taken into consideration, and in all probability a happily adjusted compromise will be arrived at.
The Committee appointed for the defence of the interests of Ibrahimieh and Ramleh has addressed the following letter to the Minster of Public Works, a copy of which has been sent to Lord Cromer and H.E. the Governor of Alexandria, as president of the Municipal Commission:—
Excellence,
Nous avons l'honneur, au nom des habitants de l'Ibrahimieh et Ramleh d'appeler la bien veillante attention de V. E. sur la grave situation dans laquelle se trouve la population de ces deux localites par suite des agissements de l'Alexandria and Ramleh Railway Co. Ld.
Le service de cette Compagnie est vital pour Ramleh et Imbrahimieh qui ont environ 20,000 habitants et comprennent 3750 maisons payent L.E.7,881 d'impot par an.
Le service de traction entre Alexandrie et Ramleh fut assume par l'A & R.R. Co. Ld, en date du 28 Juin 1883 et ensuite un nouveau contrat fut paste entre le Ministere des Trevaux Publics et cette Compagnie le 17 Julliet 1890 suivant copie ci-incluse.
Quand la concession initiale fut accordee en 1860, Ramleh etait presque on desert et il est concevable que l'on ne se soit pas preoccupe d'imposer a la Compagnie un Cahier des Charges.
Aujourd'hui Ramleh a pris un developpement considerable et il est de toute necessite que ce Cahier des Charges soit impose a une Compagnie faisant un service publiq de cette importance.
Nous passons outre les inconvenients dont Ramleh et l'Ibrahimieh ont longuemeut souffert par suite de ce manque d'un Cahier des Charges et nous nous limitons a enumerer a V.E. les privileges exorbitants dont jouit la Compagnie.
Elle peut a son gre :
Elever ou abaisser les prix de transport,creer dos tarifs d'abonnement, les supprimer.
Modifier les horaires; suspendre ou ajoumer les departs.
Allonger ou diminuer la duree du trajet.
Creer des gares ou des stations ou bon lui semble ; les changer de place, les supprimer.
Fournir un materiel mal dispose et de qualite mediocre.
Augmenter ou supprimer le nombre de voitures en service.
Faire servir une voie ferree etablie pour des locomotives et de lourds wagons a des voitures legeres qui cahotent d'une facon permanente.
La seule enumeration de ces privileges, ajoutes au droit de menopole, demontrers a V.E. qu'il est urgent, en presence des reclamations unanimes d'une population irritee, de prendre les mesures necessaires pour mettre un trein au principal souci des actionnaires qui est l'augmentatation des dividendes.
Il resulte de ces privileges que la Compagnie peut d'un trait de plume faire hauseer ou baisser les prix des terrains et des maisons de Ramleh et de l'Ibrahimieh, qu'elle peut ruiner des quartiers populeux; quelle peut modifier a son gre le budget de depenses de toute une population, et o'est precisement ce qu'elle vient de faire a la date du 1er Janvier de cette annee.
Elle a etabli que les abonnees de 1re Classe qui payaient P.T. 950 par an paieront a raison de 120 voyages par mois a Mill 15 environ P.T. 2200. Ceux de 3me Classe qui payaient P.T. 570 par an paieront P.T. 1100.
Ce tarif est prohibitif pour la classe la plus nombreuse d'abonnes dont beaucoup devront renoncer a habiter Ramleh tout en y ayant des proprietes.
Une simple comparaison :
Les abonnements des Chemins de Fer Egyptiens pour la ligne de Matarieh, qui est a tres pen de chose pres, de la meme longueur que celle de Ramleh, sont bien interieurs a ceux de l'A. & R. R. Co. Ld.
En effet l'abonnoment en premiere coute L.E. 8 et en seconde L.E. 6 par an.
Dans ces conditions nous venons prier le Gouvernment, qui protege impartialement tous ses administers d'user des droits que lui confere la concession du 6 sout 1860 pour imposer a la Compagnie un Cahier des Charges analogue a celui des autres Compagnies de traction electrique, portant sur les points que nous vous avons signales et sur toutos les questious d'ordre public.
Dans le cas ou la Compagnie s'y refuserait, l'article 6 de la concession initiale auquel nous nous referons et qui, pensons-nous, conserve toute sa force, donne le droit au Gouvernement "de retirer sa concession a toute epoque sauf a indemniser la Compagnie des travaux executes a dire d'experts."
Nous espersons que V.E. voudra bien prendre a couer les interets d'une nombreuse fraction de la population d'Alexandrie et d'une plage salubre qui ne demands qu'a prendre un developpement toujours plus grand.
Nous vous prions d'agreer, Excellence, l'assurance de notre plus profond respect.

The fourth performance of Dupont's Cabrera last evening proved a great success. Siga. Pinto, it goes without saying, again distinguished hereolf as Amalia, and was well seconded by Sig. Bravi, the tenor. The latter possesses a voice of very fine timbre and delightful freshness, but rather light for an opera such as Cabrera. The performance of a portion of Don Pasquale met with a similar success. To-morrow, Siberia will be staged.
VERDI THEATRE, CAIRO. LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR.
The Verdi Theatre company gave a most excellent performance of Lucia di Lammermoor on Wednesday night. Signore Svicher thoroughly deserved the applause given her, especially for her song in Act II. Signori Pagani, Badini, and Baldelli all showed to great advantage. We were glad to note that the house was well filled and we hope that the fears of a Cairo correspondent will prove unjustified, though we cordially agree with his remarks and hope that Cairo in general will appreciate them and will give the Verdi Theatre the support it so well deserves.

The Comptoir National d'Escompte of Paris has definitely decided to found a branch in Egypt in a few months' time and will start operations at Alexandria. Mr. P. Llewellyn, formerly manager of the French Bank of Brazil at Rio de Janeiro, has been sent, here by the Comptoir National to make all the necessary preparations and will assume the management of the branch here.
Mr. Llewellyn was at the Credit Lyonnais at Alexandria some years ago, where he was a "fonde de pouvoirs." A branch will probably be opened at Cairo next year.
We learn on excellent authority that the Egyptian Government's scheme on the subject of the Bureaux de Publicity has been adopted by the Mixed Judicial Commission. The Agents and Consuls General belong, wil meet in a few days' time in order to give their sanction to this important reform.

Perfect arrangements and organisation were manifest at the ball given at Shepheard's Hotel on Wednesday night. There was no crowding, though a great proportion of the 800 invited appeared, the floor of the great dining-room was very good, and the supper arrangements and buffet were up to the standard set by all the other accessories. The decorations, toilettes, and uniforms made a very striking picture, and the dancing was as animated as it could be, while the Bracale orchestra played in period time. Of course, the cotillon was the event of the evening and was led by Mme. Adolphe Cettaui and M. Ferdinand de Martino, with all the grace and skill that the occasion—and it was a great occasion— demanded. After the conclusion of the "official programme" the dancers began again and it was nearly 4 a.m. before the fast went home.
By kind permission of Lieut.-Colonel G. M. Mackenzie, commanding, and officers 2nd Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, the Band will play the following programme at Shepheard's Hotel on Saturday afternoon from 4 to 6 o'olock: Japanese War March- Benzai- Fred.

The Stock Markets are so closely associated with political matters that we most crave indulgence if from time to time we refer to the latter. Those who look ahead are not at all happy as to the outcome of the financial position in Russia. Another loan for £25,000,000 is on the eve of being launched, report says on the 12th January-this time in Berlin—4 1/2 per cent. Bonds at 95. This will materially increase the weight of the prodigious "Baby'' now resting on "Dame Europe's" lap. France, and her neighbor are so heavily involved that they cannot afford to let the issue be anything but a so-called success. If it were not for this we do not suppose Russia would be able to obtain within 20 or 30 points of this price for the issue. The cost of the war to Russia has so far been estimated at 100 millions, but we know from sad experience that these estimates are well below the mark, and that the real figure is generally nearly double. With the internal troubles increasing throughout the country, the Russian Government will be having its hands full at home as well as abroad. The peace negotiations are for the moment going slow—so that altogether one is not surprised if the old posesores in the financial world are inclined to shake their grey beads in an ominous fashion. The general tone of the market is wonderfully firm, exceptionally so far the end of the year. South Africans look like opening the New Year with higher prices. All the leading properties good and hold their prices well although business is small at present. The Continent has been a persistent buyer of Goldfields. The break in cotton which has resulted from over-production in America caused a sharp set-back in Egyptian Stocks yesterday, Bank shares especially dropping back nearly a point from Wednesday's closing prices, Agriculturals opening 9, and Nationals 22. There was some support at these prices and a consequent recovery of about 1/2 in both cases which is fully maintained. Delta Lands, in spite of the forthcoming increase of capital by £150,000, keep their price well at 2 1/2, and Dairy Sugar remain firm and are likely to go higher. There has been some demand for Nile Land and Agricultural Co.'s shares which stand at about 8, but there is little or no free market in them at present. Corporation of Western Egypt shares are being quoted at a premium, but sotive dealings cannot be looked for until the turn of the New Year. Egyptian Mines are a shade steadier, although Nile Valley shares are rather dull in tendency, doe to the fact that the jobbers did not consider the annual meeting as satisfactory as it might been. Americans are firm again. Consols are dis- tinctly good, and investment stocks are all firmer, the chief factor being cheap money.
Dans sa lettre ouverte a MM. les membres de la commission de la reforme des Tribunaux Mixtes, publiee dans le No. 23 de son journal arabe El Mounnem, mon eminent confrere et ami, M. Loatfi bey Ayrout, a exprim4 un desir qui fermentait depuis longtemps dans le sein de la majorite desinteressee de la population de l'Egypte. On ne saurait trop insister sur le bien fonde de la theorie qu'il a soulevee.
Il est interessant de remonter a ce propos a l'origine des Tribonaux de la reforme. Dans son projet de 1867, adresse aux puissances, Nubar Pacha demandait pour lee nouveaux Tribunaux le droit de connaitre de toutes les infractions commises par les Europeans, quelle que soit leur nature; il demandait, en principe, l'abrogation complete des capitulations.
La commission qui sieges a Paris du 8 Novembre au 3 Decembre 1867 reconnut, dans sa decision, la necessite d'obtenir en Egypte l'unitfe de legislation et de juridiction; elle approuva l'etabllisement des tribunaux mixtes, mais elle refuse une competence aussi etendue que celle proposee dans le rapport de Nubar. Neanmoins, celui-ci ne se decourages pas et en Nfianmoins, oelnl-ci ne se dfioouragea pas ettrn 1869 obtint la reunion au Cairo d'une Commission internationale chargee d'etudier le projet.

da la Rlforme. Cotta ovnmiuion admit la compliance das nouveaux tribunaux on mature de contraventions ft Tigard das Etmngera. Ed mature de crimes, la Commissioo dicida que les crimes et les debts dee Europlens seraiont do la compitence dee tribune ox Egyptians; mois, coasidlrant que las noaveaux tribuaaux ae prisontoient pas dls la jour da lour institu- tion une garoatie suffisante et, on conslquence, tout on admettaot le principe de la complteuoe pinole on touta matilro, elle on ajouma l'appli- cation ft une Ipoque plus favorable. En 1870, Nubar obtint un finnan du Sultan autorisant la Khtklivo Ismail ft rlglar la condition dee Etrongors en Egypte, ot o'est en vertu de co firman que les nouveaux tribunaux furent Itablis, on 1875.
Los Puissances Europlennes n'ont adiilrl la Rlfonue Judioiairo en Egypte qu'k litre pro- visoire. Los Tribunaux Mix toe ont ltd d'abord Itablis pour une plrioda da cinq one; et les puisSanoes se sont rlservles au moment des negotiations, la droit de reveair ft Tancion Itat de cboses aprt* cetta plriode d'essai. Or cette plriode a toujours ltd renoavello dopuis Tins- tallation des tribupaux da la RI forme. Et au- jourd'hui, oprfes 80 ans d'lproave, Taxplrieoee nous dlmontre sulfiaommcnt que oes tribunaux ont ltd l'oeuvro qui a obtenu le plus brillant sued* qu'on ait pu attondre d'uno institution de oe genre, surtout dons un pays oosmopolito tel que l'Egypta, ou les intlrlts das particaliers sont si multiples et si complexes, et oti les jus- ticiablas appartiennent ft dee nationalitls si difflrentes.
Les capitulations, Itablies autrefois dans lo but de pro tiger las sujota des Puissanoes Earo- plennes que dos intlrlts commerciaux ou di- plomatiques appelaieat dans las pays d'Orien^ contro lo* agressions de la population bar bare, fonatique et ignomuta de cette Ipoque, ne res- pondent plus à l'ltat de civilisation mod erne auquel eat parvenu l'Egypta et surtout ft la si tuetion actuelle existent dans ce pays par suite do Toooupationbritannique qui a contribuldans la plus grande mosure à introduiro los lllments do la civilisation con tempo mine, notamment en favorisant la crlation de gran des et nom- breuses entreprises agricoles, financilres et in- dustrialias, lesquelles Itoieut impossibles sous Tancieu regime. Aujourd'hui l'Egypta se trouvo done dons une Ire uouvolle do surotl oil tout rlussit et prospire.
Lorsque les colonies europleennes Itoient pod nombreuses dons ce pays, il n'y avait pas d'inoonvlnients à oe que choc une d'olios et sa justice privle. Mais aujourd'hui, les Itrangers sont devenus si nombreux, leurs intlrlts et leurs relations sont si intimement lids à oeux des Egyptians qu'il est roisonnoblement perm is de lee confondro even ccux-ci. Die Ion, du moment que leurs intlrlts sont les mimes, et que los lois oiviles qui lee rlgissent le sont aussi, pourquoi n'en serait-il pas de mime dans lo cos oil un i-tranger se rendroit ooupable d'un dllit ou d'un crime contre la slcuritl publiqao, ou d'une infraction contre les partiouliers. 11 est juste et raisonnable que lee peraonues qui viennent s'ltahlir dans un pays d'uno fa^cn permanente ou provisoiro et profitent do ses rossources et dos bienfaits do sa llgislation soient rlgis par les mlmos lois qui goavornent les nationaux eux-mlmes; et, du momont que la compltence des contraventions des Itrangers estreoannae nux tribunaux mixtes aingi que certains cos splciaux de crimes et do dlKta, une llgislation glnlrale et commune on matilre pinole s'ltendant indistinctemont à tons les dllits et crimes, no saurnit Itro trop justemont reoommandle. La multiplicitl des juridictions on matilro pinole et lo systlmo d'indulgenco exaglrle glnlralemcnt odoptl par les tribunaux consalaires à Tigard do leurs sqjets coupables de crimee ou de dllits est une anomalie et un danger pour los habitants. I Is onoon ragout la perpltration d'infroctions graves que la crainte d'une justice plus slvlre et commune à tons rlprimerait trls probable- moot En efiot, les Itrangers, dlpourvus do touts morale et que leurs penchants naturels ontralncnt facilcment au crime, n'hlsiteut pas un instant, pour le motif lo plus futile et dans la confionce qu'ils ont d'ltro acquittls per leur tribunal consulairo ou d'ltre ft la rigueur condamnls à une peine insignifiante, à plon- ger un poignard ou à dlcbargcr une ornje à feu dans' lo sein innooent d'une victims qui le plussouventa voulu dlfendre ses droits per- sonnels ou a refusl de eetisfairo le caprioo immoral d'un mislrablo. Continuer indlfini- ment l'ltat de chose actual, serait uue bonto pour le pays et un affront à la justice. Lc moment est vena ou l'Egyptc est à mlmo de se lever et de demander qu'on lui aooordo le droit reoonna à touts nation civilisle d'aroir des tribunaux com pi tents pour jager toutes les infractions qui soot commises sur son torn- toire, sons distinction de nationalitls.
D'tvilleura les tribunaux mixtes prison tent nujourd'hui une garantio suffisants d'iodl- pondance et d'intlgritl. Les magistrate qui les oasnpotent, sont recrutls panni les meilleurs dos pays qu'il reprlseutent, ot joaissent du droit d'inomovibilitl. En outre, ils re^oivent des rltributions assex llevlcs pour los placer au-dessus do touts idle departialitl et de tout soapeon de corruption.
II est bon de remarquer aussi que, malgrl que oes tribunaux soient composls d'lllmenta appartenant ft des nationalitls difflrentes, Taccord et Thormonie n'ont jamais oeesl de rlgner panni let membra* qui les composent. Us se sont tons donnls la main pour travaillcr ft one mlmo ajuvre, rondre la justioe, et ont mis de dtl leur nationolitl pendant Texercico de leuris functions.
Enfin, les tribunaux de la Rl forme out rlussi à soqulrir fermement l'estime et la confiaDoe de tons les habitants da pays, indigenes ou Itrangers; la pteuve en est que plusisurs pormi oeux-ci, qui par suite de leur situation nationals ou de la natal* du litige lohappent ft la juridiction de oes tribunaux, s'efforoent sou- vent dans leurs contestations au moyen de combinaisons particalilroe ft M soustraire ft la compltence de lean tribunaux consalaires pour M rend re justiciable* des tribunaux mixtes.

It is interesting to compore the state of the Sudan trade as it is today,
with the conditions existing 20 yean ago, before the Mahdi'a rebellion. The
latest report dealing with those former times is that dated 1888, written by
Col. Stewart, who accompanied
Cotton was grown in sufficient quantities for local consumption, in the
The products of the Sudan wore imported and exported either from Suakin, or by the Nile Valley, chiefly by the formpr route; and at the time CoL Stewart drew up his report, trade was already declining, owing to tho unsettled state of the country. Very few figures are given at all for 1882, tho latent complete year boing 1881.
To begin with the exports : By far the largest item of tho export tptdo, then
as now, was gum, 138,000 cantors having been exported from
The next most important export was ivory, of which 1874 cantors were sent from tho Bahr el Ghaialand Equatorial Provinces in 1881. Fortunately Col. Stewart has, in- this care, given us tho money value, which amounts to LB. 63,485. The prices given in different districts in different years vary from LB. 17 to LE. 35 per cantor, and are probably quite arbitrary. Tho total-quantity of ivory exported from Egyptduriog 1903 was 41,641 kilos and was valued by the Customs at LE. 26,242, which works out roughly at about LE. 28 per cantor.
86 cantors of gutto pereba from the Bahr el Ghaial Province in 1881 are estimated at LE. 693, or less than LB. 7 per cantor, which seems an extraordinarily low value.
Ostrich feathers are valued at over LB 4 per rotl (rather less than our lb,), and as Col. Stewart gives the total export from Korosko as 57 cantors, this item alone (if the figures are oorroct,) should have been worth over LB 22,000. The export from 8uaki only amounted to 84 rotla. The 11,895 kilos of ostrich feathers exported from Egypt in 1903 were estimated atLB 24,449, so the value ha considerably decreased in the last ten years. Betides the above-mentioned articles (and in addition to the ootton referred to in a previous number of our journal) a certain amount of Senna, tobacco, bides of various sorts, rhino ceros horns, and hippopotami teeth were ex- ported, also a considerable quantity of mother- of pearl shells (given as 357,171 "piaoes"), and 18,000 okes of beeswax obtained from Abyssi- nia. Another article that figure* largely in earlier years is butter; only 1,726 okes are recorded for 1881, but in 1879 50,000 okes were sent away horn Suakin.
To tarn to the imports; the figures for the year 1881 do not give a fair idea of the trade before the rebellion, there being a mark'd falling off from the level of the two previous yeara, in a considerable number of articles. The local disturbances appear to have affect* d the import trade at an earlier period, and more injuriously than the exports.
Probably the most interesting item* are the ootton and woollen goods. The former amounted to over 26,000 cantors in 1881, against 20,000 in 1879 ; the woollen goods to 380, an advance on both the previous years. The linen and silk good* were very trifling in quantity. 21,000 pieoes of clothing are recorded, but this is too vague to be instructive. There are various arti- cles of attire which stand at a high figure, no toblyj 16,000 pairs of boot* in 1879,6,000 dozen stockings, nearly 4.000 dozen torbushes in 1881, 11,000 dozen umbrella* in 1880; also (WtWUnrfMat, (IwUri VO outtH * fish scent), nearly 600 cantors of beads; also 888 cantors of sawing ootton.
In 1879, 6,000 cantors of petroleum were imported, also 1,750 canton of candles, and in 1880 3.000 boxes of matches.
Of provisions, there were 20,000 canton of Indian rice in 1800, 4,500 canton of aoupa,861 ear. an of preserved vegetables, and over 5,000 cantors of loaf sugar in f 879.
These are tha chief items of interest in thi- np.rtof 1883, which gives a very fair idea of the point of civilisation at which the Sudan had arrived twenty years ago. (BritUh Chamber of Commerce Journal).

To for Editor or rax Eotptus Gaxbtr.
Dear Sir,—1 happened to read the reprint in the Gazette of a report from the Daily Mail, concerning Berlin, and especially Rixdorf. 1 may tell yon that the honorable Mr. Alderson, who was in Rixdorf, has very well observed, but unfortunately some details hare escaped him. We beg to report them to your readers supplementary. If Mr. A should have come to the Rixdorf palaces half-an-hour later and stayed for dinner, he would no doubt have seen on overy table 'tunle soup and venidoo with a golden spoon."
Tha provision store of Borehardt, purveyor to his Majesty, furnishes the working people with these dainties. Of late a decline of price of this merchandise has taken plaoe because the people grew tired of it and preferred tar a time porridgs and potatoes. The house of Gertan's, purveyors to his Ma- jesty, provides the people with the hangings and the staff Mr. A so greatly admired, and having so largely profited by the working class- es a Smyrna oarpst has been given as a Christmas present to every family and a seal cape to every grandmother, for old people al- ways fael odd. How glad Mr. A. would foal if he could but see it.
Every Rixdorf workman smokes cigars from Book's or Upmanls and every one of them has a safe in the Bank of Germany. Your Mr. A. is a sharp observer; as long a* tho world goes there sre but two his equals, Munchausen and Jules Verne. Wishing you a happy New Year.
1 remain, dear Sir, Very truly yours,

Sir,—Your article in Tuesday's Gazette on the wantou damage that the Temple of Arsinag Aphrodite / has sutfored during the past low months ulikelyloarousethoangerol the learned world against not only the Alexandria Archioo- logical Society, the authorities of the Alexandria Muscumandtbeowner uttbe temple's site, but also against the Department of Antiquities of tho Egyptian Government, for having been so remiss in its duties towards one of the most interesting temples of the Ptolemaio epoch. Early in the summer, inspired by the announce- ment which 1 road in your columns of the disoovery of this temple, 1 paid a visit to Aboukir during a short stay at Alexandria, and at once came to the conolusion that the ruins were those of the temple erected Jo the deified sister-wife ot Ptolemy Philodelphus by Callicrates on tho Zephyrian forelaud, half-way be- tween tho Pharos of Alexandria and the Canopio month of the 'Nile, as is recorded in a Greek epigram from a papyrus. From* com- parison of tho description of the site as given by Strabo and Stephanos Byzantios with the epigram from the Fimin-Didot papyrus, it is clear that this is the temple, renowned for the romantic offering of the looks of Berenice, which inspired the oelebratod poem of Calli- machus, that has survived through the trans- lation of Catalina There is a tragic irony ot a twofold character to the praaent plight of this once famous tone. The poem whereby the templo become renowned in literature is described by Professor Robinson Rllis as "a scientific not less than a poetical tribute paid by learning to the founders and supporters of the Museum" of Alexandria. Yettheauthorities of tho present Museum of Alexandria have allowed the remains of tho temple to be irre- trievably rained by their indifference. Another touch of irony is seen in the fact that the site of the temple is now in the possession of a Prince of os Macedonian an origin,as wcrePlrila- delphus and Euergetes. It is amazing that the Egyptian Government should be so engrossed in its efforts to increase the more material interests of the country, that it neglects to preserve the prioeleaa relios of the past. Por my part I do not think wo should aoeuw Alexandrians or their Archcologioal Society. It is surprising that snob a materially-minded city should possess even the rudiments of snob an institution. But it is the authorities at Cairo who are to be blamed, for having failed, when the temple was discovered in the spring, to at once take all the necessary precau- tions lot safeguarding tho remains and expro- priating the land. Yours truly,
R.M.A. r. A Comport R. Bnuu. Regimest. This match took plaoe et Mustapha ou Wednesday last l'ho play on the whole was rather in favour of the R. Berks, who did mo.t of the attacking. The weakness in front ot goal alone saved the K.M.A., and the match ended in a draw, no goals boing soorod.
