The prevalence of rabies and the methods to be employed for its prevention are burning questions in Egypt to-day. For some years past the number of cases of rabies in dogs and of hydrophobia in man in this country has shown an alarming increase; but the Egyptian Government has not, up to the present, adopt- ed any active measures for dealing with the evil. Lord Cromer, in his last report, touched, indeed, upon the subject; only, however, to point out that the time for enforcing the usual remedies was not yet ripe. Whether the real difficulty lies in the financial aspect of the question, or in the suggested danger of native opposition, or in the difficulties connected with the Capitulations, the need for action is none the less pressing; and it is to be hoped that the public will, before long, be induced to recognise the seriousness of the situation and be stimulated to insist upon official interference for its amelioration. An impressive object lesson to the casual observer is the grim pro cession of 'tumbrils' that pass daily along the Sharia Kasr-el-Aini, Cairo, containing the dog bitten victims who are sent from the Government Hospital for inoculation at the Anti-Rabic Institute. These often number as many as forty or fifty persons in one day, and although there is no proof that they have been all bitten by mad dogs, the presumptive evidence to this effect is very strong, when it is considered that the natives are not lovers of dogs and rarely treat them in the light of pets, and that the common native dog, when sane, does not incline to attack people but rather to slink out of their way. Happily, the an- nual death rate from hydrophobia bears a small ratio to the number of persons bitten by undoubtedly rabid dogs; this must be ascribed to the wise rule which requires that all cases of dog-bites among the natives shall be treated at once with a course of anti-rabic inoculations extending over a period of three weeks. In this connection the following sta- tistics, showing the enormous reduction in the mortality effected by the introduction of the Pasteur treatment, may be found of interest In England Sir Victor Horsley gave the mortality of all cases bitten by rabid animals, not treated by inoculation, as 15%; a more ge- neral concensus of opinion places it at 16%. In Paris, for the first fourteen years after its inauguration (i.e., 1886 to 1899 inclusive), the statistics of the Pasteur Institute showed an average mortality of 0.41(+)%; for the years 1895-99 a mortality of 0.29(+)%. It will thus be seen that the average mortality has been reduced more than fiftyfold by the adoption of the Pasteur treatment.
Excellent, however, as may be the results of inoculation after the bite, a
considerable eco- nomy would be effected by the employment in Egypt of some,
at least, of the prophylactic measures which have successfully ridden other
countries of the scourge. In England, for exam- ple, 668 dogs were killed as
rabid in 1895, and there were 20 deaths from hydrophobia. In April, 1897, a
general muzzling order, was brought int force and continued for six months
after the last case had been notified: all stray dogs were destroyed. In the
spring of 1899. the disease had disappeared, except in one part of Wales;
the the muzzling order
Taking into account the prejudices and fatalism of an Oriental race, and the topo- graphy of Egypt, it is obvious that such a tho- rough prophylactic cannot be enforced in its entirety. Certain measures, however, suggest themselves as practicable. 1. Compulsory en- registration of all dogs and cats. Each animal to wear a collar of regulation pattern bearing the owner's name and address and the registra- tion number in European and Arabic charac- ters; 2. Muzzling to be enforced in all large towns and in the villages wherever possible; 3. The enforcement of a licence to accompany the registration number. The fee for this should be relatively high, to discourage the main- tenance of hordes of so-called watch-dogs. (It is among this class that rabies is particularly rife). The list of owners to be properly inspected and controlled; the non-pay- ment of the fee to be punished by fine, or confiscation and destruction of the animal; 4. Importation of dogs or cats to be prohibited; 5. The destruction of all stray dogs and cats. All animals without a collar to be killed at once : all dogs in towns or villages, without a muzzle, but with a collar and registration number, to be lassoed and taken to a depot. In the latter case the owner to be informed and fined on his claiming the dog or cat; the animal, if unclaimed, to be killed after the lapse of a reasonable period. For this purpose properly controlled lethal chambers should be established.
For the destruction of pariahs some more efficient system than that now practised is neces- sary. At present, notice is given from time to time that the police will poison all stray dogs found in a certain quarter on a certain night. At best, this is but a cruel and an ineffectual method; pariahs wander by day, at night they retire to holes and other shelters to sleep. It might be considered expedient to offer a reward for the body of every pariah brought to the authorities. It may be objected that this would result in an anarchistic campaign by the lowest native population; that an armed rabble would prowl round the houses at night in order to destroy any animals to be found, and that the lives of the owners would be endangered by flying bullets; that pariahs would be bred in numbers for the sake of the reward; moreover, that it is the European dogs which are mainly responsible for the spread of hydrophobia. While it is, perhaps, true that European dogs bite more people than do pariahs, upon investigation it usually tran- spires that the dog in question was inoculated in the first place by a pariah; the latter are undoubtedly responsible for the propagation of rabies. Of the two evils to be reckoned with, the presence of pariahs in the neighbourhood of towns, and particularly of slaughter-houses, would appear to constitute a graver danger than any that might result from measures taken for their extermination. It would always be easy to institute special measures for the protection of private foreign dogs.
Without entering into details, a few points are to be noted with regard to the symptoms of rabies in dogs. A. In canine rabies there is usually no 'hydrophobia,' as is the case with man; a dog may be able to eat and drink throughout the whole course of the disease. In fact, excessive thirst is, as a rule, a pro- minent symptom. B. 15 to 20% of all cases of rabies in dogs are of the 'dumb' variety, when the animal passes directly into the third or paralytic stage without displaying the signs of fury characteristic of the second stage, although the dog shows no inclination to bite, and is generally unable to do so owing to paresis of the jaw and throat muscles, the saliva is, nevertheless, intensely virulent; any accidental inoculation-as from a scratch or sore on the hand used in making an examination-is consequently as dangerous as the most severe bite. C. All animals bitten by a suspected dog should be secured and isolated, and, if the dog be proved mad, they should be destroyed. If compatible with public safety the suspected animal should not be immediately killed, but secured and sent to an institute tor observation. If killed, the brain and spinal cord should be removed and sent, in clean glycerine, to the nearest institute for diagnosis. On receiving a bite from a mad dog, in the event of the absence of immediate medical assistance, a ligature should be improvised from a piece of string or bootlace, if the bite is on a finger; or from a handkerchief, tight- ened by twisting it by means of a stick or rod, if the bite is on the arm or leg The wound should then be thoroughly cauterised. It is essential that the caustic touch all parts of the wound, which should be enlarged, if necessary, by means of a sharp, clean knife. Probably the best caustic is pure carbolic acid, applied thoroughly by means of a swab on the end of a small stick. This to be followed immediately by the application of alcohol (methylated spirit). A hot wire is also effectual. After cauterising the ligature should be removed. No time should be lost in under going treatment at an anti-rabic institute. Pre- cautions after the event are, however, but a poor makeshift for our preservation from the Iread disease. It is urgently to be hoped that the Egyptian Government will see its way, in the near future, to taking steps to stamp out the pest ere it assumes the graver form of a general epizootio,
The strike movement in Russia continues to spread. A meeting of the employers here uncompromising y rejected the men's demands.
It is now stated in official circles that the shrapnet shell was inadvertently left in a gun belonging to the Horse Artillery the most aristocratic corps in Russia-after practice on Tuesday. The ceremony was carried out according to the programme. The occurrence gåve rise to wild rumours to the effect that the affair was the outcome of a military plot. The men of the saluting battery have been arrested. (Reuter.)
Bauds of strikers who number about 5,000 are parading the streets of the town, and en forcing a general strike, including even the Government printing works. A petition to the Tsar circulating at the workmen's meetings bitterly complains of their desperate condition, and of the deprivation of human rights. It concludes by saying, "Be compassionate and let us live, for under the present conditions we prefer to die."
The Tsar has left for Tsar Soeselo.
The strike, is spreading like wildfire. Ali the smaller factories have joined the strikers. The police remain passive, apparently fearing to precipitate a conflict, but the garrison is standing to arms. (Reuter,
An enquiry has been opened into the firing accident.
The strikers are parading the streets, stopping work, and preparing a monster demonstration for Sunday, demanding universal suffrage.

Replying to the note of Mr. Hay, Russia reiterates her complaints regarding China's violation of neutrality.
Mr. Hay having circularised the Powers on the subject of China's integrity after the war, has received satisfactory assurances. (Reuter.,
The circular of Mr. Hay, whose direct purpose is to prevent land-graubing at the end of the war, to preserve the open door, and the old territorial "status quo" of China, has been formally and warmly accepted by Great Britain, Germany, and France. It does not apply to Manchuria, for which Russia and Japan are now fighting.
It is thought in diplomatic circles that the acceptance of the circular will arrest any scheme afoot for the re-adjustment of China's boundaries, and will remove a potential cause of future friction. (Reuter,
The British and Russian statements aroused very little interest, the latter especially being disappointing. No new facts are mentioned. It is asserted that Admiral Rodjestvensky diu his duty in assuring the safety of his fleet. (Reuter.)

The forthcoming battle of flowers at Ghezireh promises to be a magnificent fête. A triumphal arch will be erected near Kasr-el-Nil Bridge, and in the whole of the avenue, which leads to Ghezireh Palace, pavilions of all nationalities will be built. The carriages, which are ornamented with flowers or otherwise, will start the tour at the Casino; they will enter by the special road which begins at the police station.
The first hockey match of the season at Alexandria was played off yes- terday afternoon in Alderson's Garden, Bulkeley, and was watched with the greatest interest by a large crowd of spectators, play being very exciting. The match ended in a victory for the Red team (Barnes, Collier, and W. Tookey) by 6 to 4 against the Blue team (Douglas Allen, Townsend, and H. Tookey). The usual entertainment was given in the theatre and was most enjoyable.
The Khedive's Ball, held at Abdeen Palace last night, was a most conspicuous success. The Diplomatic and Consular Corps, the Army of Occupation and the Egyptian Army, the Civil Service, with the principal members of European and native society at Cairo, were all largely represented, and the scene was most brilliant, through the multitude and diversity of toilettes and uniforms. H.R.H. Prince Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and Norway was among the distinguished assemblage, with the Earl and Countess of Cromer.
H.H. the Khedive received his guests as they entered the ball-room with his accustomed courtesy, and greatly added to the pleasure of the dancers by causing a charming valse of his own composition to be inserted in the programine.
The arrangements for the ball were excellent, and that important item the supper was highly appreciated. Dancing continued until after 2 o'clock this morning, when the last of the many guests of his Highness left a ball which was more successful, if possible, than any of its predecessors.
The Khedive, accompanied by the Ministers, the high officials of the Court, the Governor of Cairo, and some ulema, proceeded to the mosque of Awlad Enan yesterday for prayers.
The Shah has conferred the decoration of Temsal Chahi, the most exalted Persian honor, on his Highness. Il is only granted to sovereigns and Royal and Imperial princes.

The Mahmal and its escort left for Suez yesterday morning by special train from Abbassieh and are to embark on Tuesday and Wednesday next for Jeddah. The escort num bers 407 officers and men under the command of Miralai Muhamed Bey Ritaat and takes with it a Maxim and some mountain guns.
According to a Cairo contemporary :-
Il est probable que les Puissances ne s'opposeront pas à la proposition, faite par lord Cromer à la Commission plénière de la Conférence internationale judiciaire, de conférer au gouvernement égyptien le droit d'introduire aux tribunaux mixtes, saus leur consultation préalable, les modifications qu'il jugera nécessaires dans la suite. La question est capitale, et nous ne savous pas si les Puissances n'apporteront pas certaines restrictions à leur consentement, car, ainsi que le fait justement observer un de nos contrères, la liberté accordée au gouvernement égyptien sera l'acheminement à la suppression des tribunaux consulaires par l'attribution de la compétence pénale aux tribunaux mixtes. Les agents diplomatiques, qui prévoient cette éventualité, tiennent-ils au maintien des tribunaux consulaires ? Si non, leur adhésion à la proposition de lord Cromerse fera sans réserve aucune. Dans le cas contraire il faudrait s'attendre à des restrictions dans ce sens.
Disons à propos des tribunaux mixtes que celui de Mansourah sera maintenu, sauf dispositions contraires dans la suite.
The annual ball given by this flourishing institution took place on Thursday night, and passed off with great éclat. The ball-room was lit with arc lamps and small colored incandescent lamps festooned from the centre to the sides, the latter producing a very pretty effect. The verandah was covered with native tentwork, and its spacious proportions made it almost a room of itself. The band occupied a dais in the billiard-room. From 9 o'clock until the early hours of the morning a constant stream of guests arrived, among whom we may mention Major and Mrs. L'Estrange Johnstone, Major Le Breton, Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Peckitt, Mr. and Mrs. Sheppard, Mr. and Mrs. Goyder, Mr. and Mrs. Rye, Mr. P. J. Cowan, and many others connected with the State Railways, as well as friends and visitors. Bain Bey acted as M.C., assisted by all the members of the committee of the institute. Letters of regret were sent by many who were unable to attend, but spite of this some 500 were present, the scene being a very gay and animated one; the only regret expressed was that the room was not double the size.
The success attending the ball was a strong proof, if any were needed, of the vigorous life of the institute and the great support it receives on all hands, all going to show, as also do the Friday afternoon entertainments and the attendance at the concerts got up by the committee, that the institute is now far too small to accomplish the purposes for which it was originally established.

The engine-room of the electric lighting station here has been destroyed by fire. The whole town is thus without electric light, including the Cataract and the Grand Hotels. Owing to the vicinity of the Cataract Hotel to the scene of the fire, many of the visitors were able to render invaluable assistance.
No inconvenience has been caused to the hotels, which are at present lighted with oil lamps and candles. It is expected that the installation will be in working order in a day or two.
Unfortunately, two natives have lost their lives in the conflagration.
Reports come to us that the season at Assouan is at its best, and that visitors wanting accommodation must bespeak their rooms some time beforehand, both for the Cataract and the Grand Hotels.
We hear, on the other hand, that Pagnon's hotels, the "Luxor" and the "Karnak," although doing well, have still some rooms vacant, where visitors would find accommodation and could go up to Assouan the moment rooms become vacant at the Cataract and the Grand.
An extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Egyptian Salt and Soda Company, Limited, was held on Thursday, January 12, at the registered office of the company, 6, Old Jewry, London, E. C., Mr. A. Turner presiding. The Secretary (Mr. Henry J. Humm) read the notice convening the meeting. The Chairman then made the following remarks:-
Gentlemen,-In the absence of Sir Elwin Palmer, the chairman of the company, who is detained in Egypt, I have been asked to put before you and propose the special resolution which is submitted to you to-day. The modifications that are proposed in the statute, as you will observe, with two exceptions, are justified by the fact that it is considered desirable that the whole business and affairs of a company such as the Egyptian Salt and Soda Company should be entirely managed, directed and carried on in Egypt exclusively, and that the headquarters should be in Cairo. I trust you will agree with this view and give your vote in favor of these modifica tions. As regards the two exceptions that are mentioned, one refers to directors' fees, which it is proposed to reduce, and I can hardly imagine that you, as shareholders, will have any objection to that. The other exception gives the right to bearer shares to vote by proxy, and considering the fact that a very large majority of the shares are bearer shares, it would seem only fair that some modification of the statute, permitting them to vote at meetings by proxy, should be passed. The directors have no proposal to make to-day with regard to the amalgamation with the Huileries and Savonneries Company, as there are still matters of detail to be settled. I may, however, say that we have come to very satisfactory terms with that company, and before long we expect to be in a position to have everything in order and to submit a proposal to you for an increase of capital to enable us to carry out the amalgamation. The principle of the amalgamation was, as you are aware, approved at the extraordinary general meeting held in September last, and cannot, I think, fail to be most beneficial to the company in the future. I do not think it is necessary for me to say anything further. There is nothing that arises particularly from these alterations of the articles of association other than I have referred to in general terms, and if no share- holder has any special remark to make I will propose the resolution that the articles of association be altered as follows. [The alterations have already been given in full in our advertisement columns in the notice convening this meeting so we need not give the details of the resolution, which was seconded by Mr. E. Debourg, and carried unanimously without comment.]
The Chairman then said :- I need not keep you any longer, but you will observe from the notice that a confirmatory meeting will be held here on January 27, 1905, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon.
The meeting closed vith the usual vote of thanks.
Rigoletto was very well given at the Verdi Theatre, Cairo, on Thursday night. It was, above all, a triumph for Signor: Tomisani and Badini. Signora Svicher was, needless to say, delightful as ever, and her rendering of the aria displayed all that charm and skill with which we now associate her. Signor Tomisani is certainly as good a light tenor as one can wish to hear, and he was at his very best, except for two notes in which he was flat; but one can easily forgive that when set against the rest of his singing. Signor Badini was most forcible and dramatic, and in excellent voice.
We hear that La Boheme and also Mignon will be given before the company's departure and we counsel all lovers of opera to attend the performances,
Telegraphic and telephonic communication will soon be established between Sheikh Barghout harbour and Suakin. The work is being carried out under the supervision of Mr. George, attached to the Sudan Telegraphs and Posts Department.
Mr. Everett, who has lately come out from England for service with the Sudan Government, is at present at Railhead assisting Mr. George in erecting telegraphs and telephones on the main Suakin-Atbara line.
Mr. Urquhart, the contractor for bridges for the Suakin-Atbara Railway, has started erecting the first iron bridge of 106 feet span at Hambok station, kilometer 31, and is making great progress with the work.
Mr. Vincent, agent for Mr. Urquhart, has lately arrived from Massowah, where he was engaged in securing the services of several Italians and Abbysinians as quarrymen, masons, miners, etc. They are all now at Hambok, where a large camp has been formed of tents, wooden huts, etc.
All the land through which the line runs is very fertile at present. Melons are abundant, and the plains are full of acacia trees. In fact, there are forests of trees through which the line passes. All this is what nature has brought about with simple showers of rain during a few months of the year, but if this land had proper irrigation it would be more productive than some lands in Egypt.
It is hoped that the visit of Sir William Garstin to these regions will result in his proposing an irrigation scheme, which would be beneficial not only to the inhabitants but also the Government, and the population would greatly increase in these parts if the now barren deserts were made to "blossom as the rose.
There will be a meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Bank of Egypt in Cairo on Monday next. The only subject down for discussion in the agenda is a scheme for the establishment of branch agencies of the bank in the chief provincial towns thoroughout Egypt. Owing to the fact that all Government, payments henceforth will come through the agency of the bank, the establishment of such a network of branches has now become neces- sary.
Owing to the new readjustment of the financial conditions of Egypt, the Pubic Debt Commission yesterday handed over to the National Bank of Egypt the first instalment of L.E. 1,000,000 from the General Reserve Fund for the account of the Ministry of Finance.
Alexandrians who have not had the privilege of hearing Mr. Serato must regret having missed a unique opportunity of hearing one of the very few celebrated violin players. Mr. Serato is all that can be wished for infinite delicacy of touch and consummate technique, and as to his interpretation of every piece he plays, it is periection. The audience at the Khedivial Hotel last night included all that is musical in our city, but we must say that more advertisement should have been given to the concert, so as to allow many others to admire and enjoy the beauties of the masterly playing of this youthful artist. He left to-day, but we hope he will come again next year, and give us a better opportunity of hearing him.
We do not hold ourselves for the responsible opinions expressed by our correspondents, but we wish, in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit - within certain necessary limits-free discussion.
Sir, I fail to see that your correspondent "A Shareholder" has made out a sufficient case against "A Friend of Mac's" to justify his employment of the expression "Save me from my triends." Mr. McGillivray's friend, whoever he may be, did the right thing in exposing the poor tone displayed in these attacks on that gentleman. The bad taste of alluding to Mr. McGillivray as having held an obscure position in the Bank of Scotland prior to his coming out here, and also the allusions to his having entered the National Bank of Egypt in a very subordinate position, are obvious. I do not doubt that the editor of the paper, which has gained such notoriety by its personal attacks, thinks that he is justified in looking down upon clerks. He, of course, was never a clerk himself and never held an obscure position. The pertect polish of his editorial and leading articles show that he has received the best education that England can bestow, and therefore, I presume, he is entitled to look down on bank clerks, who occupy "obscure positions." But, assuming that the newspaper has good grounds for making such attacks, the snobbishness of its methods of vituperation greatly detracts from the force of the criticism. "A Friend of Mac's" was, therefore, perfectly justified in stigmatising these unworthy methods of local journalism and in pointing out that the object of these diatribes has risen to his present position without extraneous aids of any sort or kind. I am, etc.,
