SATURDAY, JANUARY 7, 1905.
We beg to tender in the name of all Anglo- Egyptians our hearty congratulations to the Khedive of Egypt on the anniversary of his accession. On an occasion like the present it is both customary and opportune to paas in review the chief events of the sovereign's reign. But such a survey would be inadequate without endeavouring to estimate the bearing of such events upon the preeont situation and their probable iufluence on the future. The most important of these events from this point of view, as standing out prominently from among the rest, and as calculated to make his Highness's reign famous even in the lengthy roll of Egypt's history, are the extension of her dominions by the restoration of her lost provinces in the Sudan and the building of the Assouan Dam. The former has assured to this country durable peace upon her borders and has manifested to the world at large the bravery and capacity of her soldiers when pitted against a most valiant foe. But that brilliant feat of arms has been rivalled, if not surpassed, by the greatest of engineering triumph, which the modern world has witnessed, and which must necessaarily be chief amongst the factors contributing to her future prosperity. These events, even if unaccompanied by many useful ameliorations in almost every department of the Administra- tion, would be sufficient to lend lustre end distinction to his Highness's reign. At a moment like the present, one naturally asks oneself what are the main features of the era inaugurated by the association of the Khedive, and the conclusion suggested is that coming ages will note this epoch as a period of peace- ful progress and prolonged prosperity.
Called suddenly to the throne at the age of eighteen, the Khedive was brought face to face with a most difficult situation. But despite his youth and consequent inexperience and the absence of far-seeing eadvirers, his High- ness has risen superior to all the intrigues to which many a ruler of maturer years, though less richly endowed with the qualities of firm- ness, courage, and discrimination, might vary well have succumbed. It is manifest to those, who have closely watched his Highness's career that the dangers by which he was formerly surrounded are now entirely removed, and recent years have shown that the future which awaits him has all the elements of permanent well-being and advancement. Coming to the incidents of the past year, the Anglo- French Agreement signed by the Great Powers of Europe is, impartially considered, an event of paramount significance in that it has rendered signal service in liberating Egypt's finances from their former shackles and will impart to her institutions a stability which was previously lacking. We must not leave out of account what, in these days, is one of the essentials of statecraft and diplomacy, namely, that the Ruler shall prove himself a social success. The cordial reception given to his Highness by the King, his Ministers, and the cream of our aristocracy, which organised receptions to do him honor, as well as the special marks of favor shown to him by the Sultan on his recent visit to Con- stantinople, afford the most cogent testimony that the Khedive has not failed in this im- portant respect, but is, on the contrary, as wel- come a guest in the West as in the East. Furthermore, if proof were needed of his cordial goodwill towards England, and of his graceful recognition of the services we have rendered to his country, bis presences at the Birthday Review is an effective assurance. His urbanity and personal charm have undoubted- ly won for him many sincere frieuds and Ad- mirers in England, where, owing to his frequent visits of late years, he bids fair to be as well known a figure in London society as Edward VII. in Paris, whilst his popularity in Egypt itself is, with every class, ever on the upward grade. If we have accurately gauged the situation and rightly cast the horosoope of coming events, there lies before his Highness Abbas II. a future of such promise as may well be envied by many an ambitious potentate on the European continent, a future, indeed, which should amply satisfy the aspirations of one so practical in his aims and so reasonable in his desires.
The establishment of branches of the great European banks in Egypt is viewed with mixed feelings by many financiers here. It is quite possible for a country to have too much loanable capital, and the recent fall in the price of our staple produce has already set free a con- siderable portion of the temporary capital that is invariably brought to Egypt at this time of the year. A seasonable word of warning is not out of place to those gentlemen who are respon sible for advising their banking houses to come to Egypt, lest by endeavouring to attract custom by lending money too freely, they should add a most unneccesary sti- mulus to this country's overweenig propen sity to speculation. These considerations are not put forward with tho slightest intention of discouraging the introduction of new capital into Egypt, where it is intended to employ it with prudence and foreaght in the develop ment of the commercial and financial interests of Egypt.

Genera] Stoeseel and 80 officers only have given their parole and are returning to Russia. The Russian soldiers have left for Dalny.
(Havas.)
General Stoessel has given his parole, and returns to Russia via Nagasaki. (Reuter.)
Generals Nogi and Stoessel had a two hours conference yesterday. It is proposed to distribute the sick and wounded among the hospitals in the Chinese ports.
The Russian battleships here have not yet been officially inspected, but it is believed that in the haste with which they were blown up they were only damaged in the upper parts. It is hoped they may be repaired.

The singer Madam Belle Cole is dead. (R.)
Madam Belle Cole, who will be greatly missed in London musical circles, and who has been so prominently before the public as a prima-donna of the concert-room for many years, was born at Chautauqua, U.S.A. She received her first musical training at the hands of her father, and was for a time soloist in a fashionable church in New York. Going to England in 1888, she soon made a great reputation in that country, achieving great success at the Crystal Palace Handel festivals, Monday Popular and other Ballad concerts. She made a festival tour through Australia and New Zealand, and a tour round the world in 1901, returning in January, 1902, to England, where she remained till her death.

The amalgamation of Stangen's Tourist Office with the Hamburg- American line is expected to have important results in developing Egypt's tourist traffic. Stangen, as is well known, is the German "Cook." From small beginnings Stangen's institute has developed to a very important tourist office, whose domain at first was only Germany, but which has increased its business immensely by catering for the pleasure traffic throughout the world at large.
The body of Mr. Bensilum, late of the Wkfs Administration, who determined to commit suicide in consequence of his discharge from the adminis- tration, has been found in the Nile near Boulac and removed to Kasr-el-Ainy Hospital, where a coroner's inquest was held yesterday. The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, having been in the water for several days. - The only articles found on deceased's body were two keys and a piece of paper. The inquest was adjourned to Monday.
The details of the result of the meeting of the board of directors of the Alexandria and Ramleh Railway Company have not been divulged, but we are authorised to state that the board decided to meet the demands of the Ramlehites, and that when the full details of the concessions are given to the public at the mass meeting this evening, the general opinion will be that a highly satisfactory solution has been arrived at in answer to the agitation that has prevailed during the past week.
The action of the board of directors in meeting the legitimate demands of the inhabitants of Ramleh we acknowledge to be the only prudent course in face of the outburst of popular discontent which has greeted the imposition of the tarif on New Year's Day. The discontent thereby aroused will thus be assuaged, and the storm and stress of the past week will be followed by a feeling of relief at the crisis having been brought to an end, by the way in which the capitalists who guide the destinies of the company have bent before the blast of popular fury and indignation which the imposition of the new system of fares had evoked from every section of the population of Ramleh.
The Ramlehites are to be heartily congratulated on having secured such a signal victory on this important point. The magnates, who form the board, have fully recognised the justice of the outcry which they have raised ; and hare been obliged to confass that the heavy exactions, which the recently imposed system would have made on the income of the clients of the company, were as unwise as they were inequitable.
At the great meeting of Ramlehites, which will be held at the theatre at Bacos this evening, Mr. Benjamin Arbib, the chairman of the Ramleh Delegation, will give a detailed exposition of the propositions which the board of directors has submitted to him and Iris fellow delegates.
The meeting has been summoned for 9 o'clock and considering the importance of the issues at stake, there ought to be a large and representative attendance. All who have the interests of Ramleh at heart are cordially invited to attend the mass meeting.
The energetic attitude of the Ramleh delegates has evoked the hearty gratitude of the public, for owing to their having adopted a forward policy the directors have been enabled to gauge the strength of the popular backing of these gentlemen, Messrs. Arbib, Stross and Zenie. As. there appears to be some connection in the minds of the public as to the connection between the Ramleh and Ibrahimieh Protection Committee and the delegates of the Ram- lehites, we may state that these two bodies are quite distinct from one another. The delegates of the Ramlehites are the party of the Extreme Left, who, in view of the exigences of the situation, embarked on a "forward" policy. It is they who summoned the public meeting, issued the manifestoes and indulged in the manifestations which took place at the beginning of the week. It is they who awoke the Ramlehites to a sense of the impending danger and, by their activity and organisation and insistence tarif, have made themselves the champions of the popular cause.
The Committee for the Defense of the Interests of Ibrahimieh and Ramleh represent the more moderate party, and their system of agitation is less inflammatory. They adopted the more constitutional line of policy of ap- pealing direct to the Government. The petition which they have addressed to the Minister of Public Works, and which we published in full in yesterday's issue, is being carefully considered by the Government, as the points raised therein are of great importance and were attentively weighed and considered before being submitted to the attention of the authorities at Cairo. The names of the members of the committee, which were appended to the petition, embrace the feeding Ramlehites. The reply of the Government has not yet been received.
Since the issue of the manifesto of the delegates on the withdrawal of the posse of Alexandria City Police from the town terminus of the line, the attitude of the Ramlehites has been characterised by calmness and self- restraint, and there hare been no incidents to mar the public tranquillity. The determined attitude of a section of the Ramlehites in face of the police served to clear the air and create a plain issue between the public and the company. The tactful policy of the company in withdrawing the police allayed the growing irritation in the nick of time and encouraged a revulsion of feeling in favor of many of the Ramlehites against the police, that, had the company insisted on maintaining them at the terminus, continued disorder would hare been the inevitable outcome. However, "alls well that end's well" and all parties concerned are to be congratulated on having surmounted such a difficult and dangerous crisis in the history of the great eastern suburb of Alexandria.

Le march de cette semaine a presente une grande animation, en depit des fetes. La plupart des veleurs de soot raffermies et certaines d'entre elles accusent une hausse sensible. La mauvais humour qui avait jusque-la regne sur le marche a completement disparu pour faire place a l'entrain. Ce resultat est du a ce que le marche des valeurs est presque independent de celui des contrats. La plupart des fortes positions en titres, detenues par le* speculateurs en cotons ayant ete liquidees pour faire face aux pertes de ces derniers temps, il n'y a plus, pour le moment du moins, a craindre ces ventes forcees qui ont exerce une si funeste influence sur le marchs des valeurs. De plus, bon nombre de courtiers abandonnent peu a peu la corbeille des contrasts, ou le calme domine maintenant, pour passer dans la corbeille des valeurs ou les operations sont devenues plus lucratives. On espere que cette fois les prix ne seront pas poysses a des niveaux trop dangereux, comme cels s'est produit il y a quelques semaines.
Les marches europeans paraissent fort peu affectes des derniers nouvelles de la guerre: au contraire, le ton y est plus ferme. L'escompte qui etait tombe jusqu'a 2 3/8, (e* qui montre que le numeraire abonde), remonte aujour- d'hui a 2 1/2. Le consolide, qui avait attaint 88 7/8, reactionne a 88 3/8. Les valeurs egyptiennes sont en faveur a Londres, tres probablement par suite de forts ordres d'achats provenant d'Egypte.

The Khedive arrived at Koubbeh Palace from Montazah yesterday evening.
The preparations at Cairo for the celebration of Accession Day are very elaborate, and Opera-square and Abdeen-street present a very gay appearance.
His Highness will attend the performance of the Salama Hegari Arab company at the Khedivial Opera House to-morrow evening.
We hear on good authority that the Ministry of the Interior, in conjunction with the Sanitary Department, have made great progress in drawing up the details of a scheme for the registration of dogs, which is very necessary in view of the large increase of rabies.
An interesting legal question as regards the rights of the Press will be decided on Tuesday next by the Cairo Mixed Court, when judgment in the case of Nodi v. Al Moayad will be delivered. The point raised is whether a newspaper can be allowed to lay before its reader* the report of a juge d'instruction (examining magistrate). In many parts of Europe newspapers have only the right of indicating the results of the magisterial examination, and are prohibited from detailing the considerations that led up to it. The Ministers Public in the case in question has pronounced in favor of the exercise of such a right by the Press.
Manon was given at the Teatro Verdi on Thursday last, and quite well given. Signor Tomisani appeared, and was, if possible, even better than in Mignon. He has an exceptionally good voice, and should certainly be heard of again in Europe. Signa. Malaspina sang very well on the whole, though a trifle shrill and too loud at times. The orchestra were also at times guilty of the same fault, but they amply compensated for that by their admirable rendering of the charming and well-known overture to the 4th act.
Signor Tomisani reappeared last night in La Sonnambula, and those who were present will, we are certain, agree that he is in every way a tenor really worth hearing.
Quite a large number of visitors and re sidents had gathered at Mena House for the Gymkhana yesterday, and though the weather was neither very warm nor very sunny, it was infinitely better than at the last Gymkhana, which was spoiled by the wet. The arrangements made were as good as ever and the prizes greatly admired. Two races, the 7th and the 9th, were not run through lack of entries, but in all the rest there were plenty, especially in the 5th(Umbrella and Cigarette Race on Donkeys) where many unsuccessful aspirants for lady partners had to be literally driven from the course. The following are the results of the various events:-
Donkey Race for Gentlemen. — A fairly good race ended in a victory for Mr. Cotton Fox. Osman Bey Rodwan was second.
Hack Race (Ponies and Galloways).—Won by Mr. Michaelides by over a length from Mr. Cotton Fox. The rest were nowhere.
Egg and Spoon Race for Ladies on Donkeys-—This event caused great amusement and several eggs came to grief. Mrs Bailey won, Mrs. Campbell being a good second.
Hack Race (Horses).—After a good race Mr. Michaelides beat Kamel Effendi.
Cigarette and Umbrella Race on Donkeys—The course was crowded with com petitors. Mr. Moore and Miss Briscoe were the winners, Mme. and Saleh Bey Cherif being good seconds.
Mena Cup.—In this event, Mr. Lockett checked Mr. Michaelides' list of successes and won narrowly, Mr. Michaelides being second and Mr. Millar third.
The Ladies' Hack Race was not run, but two teams had entered for the 8th event:
Lloyd Lindsay Race on Ponies, which resulted in a win for Capt Biggs's team in 1 min 25 secs. Capt Davis's team were second in 1 min. 49.
It is rumoured that Dr. Ballet, the son-inlaw of De Martino Pasha, will shortly have an important post conferred on him in the household of the Khedive.
It is announced that Mr. Macaulay has bean promoted to the post of Secretary-General of the Customs Administration.
The friends of Sir Charles Cookson will be glad to know that his 75 years press lightly upon him. He still quotes Pindar in the ori ginal, and loves his Dickens, and believes the harbour of Alexandria second to none.
The Baroness de Malortie is making a long stay at Oxford, where she is preparing a volume for publication. Donnish critics, who have been privileged to have a look at the MSS., are by no means sparing in their com- pliments, and many distinguished scholars on the banks of the Isis are watching the incubation of this publication with great interest. We shall publish in an approaching issue the first instalment of a beautiful poem on an Egyptian subject by the Baroness.
Mr. and Mn. G. A Williams have gone for a short trip up the Nile, and will be absent about three weeks.
The marriage of Mary Evelyn, daughter of Mr. John T. Burton, of Bulkeley, Ramleh, to Mr. Arthur H. Payton, of Solihall, Warwickshire, will take place at ALL Saints' Church, Ramleh on the 18th inst. There will be a reception in the house of the bride's father after the ceremony.

Gn pis wing Ihe raffwmr station on Wed nesday night a remarkable soeno presented itself to my view. Camped round small fires; fo groups of four or fiv$ were a large numboi of prtgmhs, probably, 120 to 150 in ally with their baggage. The sight was a very picturesque on* the While robes of the men. With the hoods drawn 6*er tfieir heads, having b Weird effect in . the fire light and fittingly framing their sWarthy oountenteoes.
Apparently they were waiting for toe night train to Cairo, but in the following morning they were still encamped in the same place, presenting, however, a very different appear- teod by day Tight, add, apart from their hum- bent hoi lodkfag at all roiha'rlcAblJ to tho pasAOr-by.

According to information received from the 'ity it appears that on the Baltio last week such was said in favour of a reduouon of the luos, but it wsa at the same time aoknow- edged there that tho cargo vessels bad been •king advantage ol techmcalities in the tonage measurement, which has enabled them to vane tbo payment of all tho charges which light have been made on their cargoes. rt*uels goiug out to the East with doad-weigbt argues ware on their return loaded with Staff ihicti was more bulky than woighty, auoh a*' ii w, ootton, and so on, and this was pilod ito the dock super-structures, filling spaces rbteh were not originally included in thp loAourementa of tho vessels. Tho result has sea a loss ol dues to the Canal Company, and bey are now charging these in full. The miter is not one which oouoerns ship-brokers irectly, but tliere is a goueral agreement that ; would be ot advantage were the rates re- need. The drop of fiity centimes which is remised will be welcome, lor the trade is Qst now showing very slight profits, and the •viag on a good freight represents in burner-1 Ua cases considerable sums.
Among shipowner* generally thore ia a die- osiuou to regard the proposal for a second mui very lavorably, but they all point ut that the difficulty lies in the need for a soouu concesnon. There is no hope that this id be outaiued from the iurkssh or Egyptian ovtmuieuu, though, if it were, the belief seins to be that the necessary fuuils would be irtuouiuiug. Meanwhile, • steady elfort is auig made to secure further concessions from 10 Lanai Company, and, if possible, to obtain representation of cargo steamer owners on re ikhutj th tne Canal. This that body u proan*i consistently to resist, ou the ground mat io Compauy is a private concern, which can-1 ut take into account one class of users more lan another.

We have been fovond with a copy of the 1 first report of the WeUoona Reeeareh Labor- ' atones at the above institution, which is an 1 excellent pieooofwork by tbo director, Dr. 1 Andrew Balfour. A great part of the report is ! devoted to the elaboratei researches made with | a \ lew to1 ascertaining tho breeding place of those tiresome peats mosquitoes, and the de- vising of measures for their extermination. We notice that one discovery has been mode that is of great importanoe,and that should be made generally known throughout Egypt. What we refer to is the ascertained fact that the reer, or native earthenware water filter, so much in j use, is a favorite breeding plaoe for the variety , known as $Ugomyia ftuciaUt. Householders , possessing these shocld take care that they are frequently cleansed. The larva; have a, worm-like appearance and seldom como to the , surtaoe of the water, so that ft is only by; careful examination that they can be discovered. This by the way.

SATISFACTORY PROSPECTS OF THE
COMPANY.
The annual general meeting of the share- holders of the Nile Valley Company, Limited, was held at Winchester House, Old Broad Street, London, on 29th ulto., Mr. R. J. Price, M. P. (the chairman of the company), pre- siding.
Mr. Joseph Passfield (assistant-secretary) read the notice calling the meeting and the auditors report.
The Chairman: Ladies and gentlemen, per- haps it would be well for me to deal
with the accounts first, as you have just heard read the auditors'
certificate. This, of course, is what is known as a pretty clean docket, and
therefore it is not necessary for me to go largely into the accounts,
although I shall be very glad to answer any questions connected with the
subject matter. The only point specially mentioned in the auditors'
certificate is the question of depreciation, and we have had to treat that
by making a special reserve fund for depreciation-for this reason, that the
old machinery on the mine is included in our property account, and it was
acquired by the new company from the old as part of the purchase they made;
there- fore, it appears as part of our purchase consideration. As regards
the new machin- ery, there was no depreciation which could be written off,
because at the date of the ac- counts the new machinery was not yet erected.
It had not been erected, and there was no de- preciation in connection with
it, but we felt it right that a substantial sum should be written off the
profits of last year for the depreciation of machinery included in the
property account. We met that difficulty, with our auditors' sanction, by
putting it to reserve depreciation account, and writing it off to the extent
of over £6,000. Since I last had the pleasure of meet- ing you we have had a
change in the manage- ment at the mines. Our late manager, Mr. Wells, has
received the inevitable promotion to which his merits entitled him, and he
has been appointed, as I daresay many of you know, as Government Inspector
of Mines in Egypt. It is, of course, a matter of congratulation that our
late manager should have been adjudged worthy of so high an office, and it
is convenient for us that we have in the Inspector of Mines a gentleman who
understands our business so well. His place has been taken at the mine by
Mr. Beckwith, who has been in our service since the beginning of last
summer, and in whom the board place every confidence. Mr. Beckwith is now on
his way home, I think, in order to attend to some rather urgent personal
affairs,and in his absence the mine will be looked after by Mr.Whyte, who is
a most reliable man. Weshall be very glad of the opportunity ofseeing Mr.
Beckwith, to consult with him on several points, principally the fuel which
it, will be our duty to use permanently at the mine, and also the provision
for increasing hoisting power when we come to deal with the mine in depth.
The year under review has been most interesting year in the history of the
company. We have had our grave disappoint- ments; we have had our successes,
and our favorable knowledge of our mine very much increased. Our
disappointments were princi- pally mechanical-that is to say, our first one
was the fire at the mine, which, although we were fully insured and received
our insurance. money, still was a cause of delay. It was very disappointing
to us, and very annoying to the shareholders, and indirectly cost us a great
Mr. Carnegie asked if the 46,993 shares which were shortly to be issued were under option to Mr. J. B. Robinson and were to be, taken by him at 30s. a share.
The Chairman replied in the affirmative. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
The auditors-Messrs.
Jackson, Pixley,
Browning, Husey and Co.-were next re-
elected.
The Chairman said that before the meeting concluded he would like to express the debt of gratitude they all felt to the staff at the mine, who had worked extremely well, and in parti- cular to the managing director, Mr. Mack. (Applause.)Mr. Mack had taken a great amount of interest in the company, and was a chronic) exile from his home and family. They were always sending Mr. Mack out to the mine, and whenever he went there he straightened up the things which were crooked. He felt sure the shareholders would be pleased to support this expression of gratitude. (Applause.) On the motion of Mr. Leeming, a cordial vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and directors.
The proceedings then terminated.
