Our columns contained on Saturday last two articles side by side, between which at first sight there is little connection, but which, nevertheless, bear one upon the other in u way that does not appear on the surface. One was headed "Egypt's Mines: a Boom in London," the other "Lord and Lady Cromer, an interesting sketch." It is to one paragraph in each article that we wish to call our readers' attention. Egyptian gold mining has of late attracted much attention, and it is while it is as yet in its. infancy, — we had almost written its second infancy, but that term is significant of dotage rather than a renewal of activity—that decisions must be formed, and steps taken to ensure that in the future there shall be no trouble in consequence of the overlooking of due precautions in the initial stages of development of the gold i mines. In the article to which we refer, and which appeared in the "Financier," we find the following :—
"There is ono point which should not be overlooked just as Egyptians are entering upon a phase of activity that will last just as long as the market is maintained in a healthy condition, and that is the question of labour. This not a burning question, nor happily can it ever be made a party question, as in the case of the Rand. But in these vast areas of the Upper Nile the population is exceedingly sparse, and consequently labourers are few. In the near future labour will have to be imported, hut this can he done easily from India, the coolies there finding congenial surroundings in the valley of the Nile. The point does not arise immediately because the mines are only in the development stage, but it will later, and it is as well to realise the fact now instead of ever allowing it to become a market factor, and ultimately a paralysing mining one." We will put this into other words, and see how well it fits in with the extract from the other article, which runs as follows "Our prosperity is as true as the sunshine, without clouds of rain ; many millions are waiting to be used. This is the testing point in the history of Egypt It wants the iron hand in the velvet glove to keep down the incoming stream of h peculate re, some honest bringing progress and advancement, some driven by that hell-fire, the gamblers' instinct, and the last dishonest, ready to sacrifice anybody and anything to get hold of the alluring millions."
The meaning of this is dear and precise. Let ns proceed to read into it the true significance of the other, bearing in mind what had been said before in the same article:—Never mind the cold douche which Lord Cromer once administered and which bid fair to give Egyptian mining it quietus ; in Egypt and the Sudan lies enormous wealth in the way of ancient gold mines and newlydiscovered gold areas, to which the wealth of the Rand is as nothing. Get your foothold there. Never mind the Egyptian nation to whom the wealth rightly belongs. Secure the land, and secure the right to import cheap foreign labour, so that foreign capital may have for its working machinery a class of labour that will not have any interest other than those of the people who employ them. We might add a good deal more that may notbe implied by the writer, but would most certainly result, from the importation of Indian coolies into Egypt and the Sudan, it behoves the authorities to use the utmost vigilance in this matter so as to make it impossible for any future British Agent to sanction such a proceeding. Prevention is better than cure, and forewarned is forearmed. One of the most experienced mining engineers of the day to whom we referred the question—we mean Mr. Alford —told ns that the proposal to employ coolie labour was a perfectly practical ore, commercially speaking, whatever it might be politically. We think it oar duty to make the most emphatic protest in our power against the proposal being even considered possible to be entertained, either now, five, ten, or twenty years hence, or during the existence of any lease or concession that may be granted. We have not the slightest wish to discourage the development of the mining industry in Egypt, on the contrary we foresee a great future for it. If, as seems possible, land development may undergo somewhat of a check through the Assouan dam decision, it may well be that capitalists will turn their attention to the mineral wealth of the country, and there is something very fascinating in the thought of the old workings being reopened, and the almost fabulous wealth of ancient times again obtained. But our desire is to see this wealth distributed. over as large an area as possible and to prevent its going into the hands of the men who are... "dishonest, ready to sacrifice anybody and anything to get hold of the alluring millions." Lord Cromer possesses the iron hand in the velvet glove, and, ail the "Finaucier" writer admits, has used it in the past with effect. His work in Egypt is not as yet within measurable distance of being accomplished, and the phenomenal prosperity of the present times only places fresh burdens on his shoulders, in place of those of which the smooth currents of late years have in some measure relieved him. We would call upon all to give him most hearty and generous support, and if in the true interests of Egypt Lord Cromer has to make a firm stand against importunate capitalists, eager for their own interests only, and careless of the well-being of the people, as so many of these prove themselves, we trust that it will never be a reproach to the British community resident in Egypt, that at any critical moment that may come, they failed to give his lordship the strong backing he has every right to expect from them.
The petition that has been sent in to the Government by the residents and proprietors of Boulac-avenue will, it is to be hoped, meet with the attention it deserves, for it is not only a fair statement of the interests of the petitioners but also of those of the entire community. As we pointed out some, little time ago when dealing with the ques- tion of house accommodation in Cairo, one of the really pressing questions of the day is the facilitating of the expansion that the city is now undergoing. More and more every day the residents within what were formerly the limits of the town are being pushed outwards from the centre to make way for the steadily growing need of ampler accommodation for the purely commercial and business demands on the available house and building space. The results of the difficulties arising from the pre- sent condition of affairs are highly injurious to all the best interests of the town and of the community, and the one real, and indeed only, effective remedy that can be applied is the opening up of the vacant spaces lying within a three or four-mile radius from the centre of the city. That this may be done it is essential that the Nile may be so bridged that it may cease to be the formidable barrier it now is to the natural growth of the town. The existing bridge is situated in perhaps the wont possible site that could be chosen for this purpose, and that upon which work has already been commenced at, or rather just beyond, Foum el Khalig, though it will meet a very important demand and will have a very great effect upon the expansion of Ghizeh, will do but little for Cairo itself except indirectly, by in some degree relieving the pressure upon its residential accommodation. The bridge advocated by the petition to which we have referred would, however, do infinitely more, and if accompanied by the provision of a tramway service at this point, would unques- tionably do more to meet existing difficulties than any other measure that can be proposed.

Another work in connection with Egypt, which is to be published shortly, is "Studia Sinaition," edited by A. S. Lewis and M. D. Gibson. It consists of forty facsimiles of dated Arabic MSS.
Mr. Eugtace Reynolds Bull quotes in the "Express" some of the felicities of a local guide book to the Banlbak Acropolis. Elijah is referred to de « This confounded prophet came to Baal." Describing the view to be obtained from the | "Cedars of Lebanon," the author states that
"the scenery is delightful and enchanting. | The sea from afar looks like a vast, beautiful
prairie, and Besheri, with the mountains that | surround it from all directions, make the view 40 nice."
As telegraphed already, the third squadron of the Baltic Fleet left here this morning for Suez, with the exception of the hospital ship "Kostroma," which entered the canal yesterday | afternoon at five o'clock, and which will con-|| tinue to Djibouti without awaiting the main | portion of the squadron, Every precaution has been taken to guard against any "regrettable incidents" in Egyptian waters ; the banks of the canal are being strongly guarded by special patrols of police and coastguardamen, and all other traffic has been stopped. His | Britannic Majesty's Consul, Mr. Cameron, and the Commandant of Police, Sohalck Bey, left| for Ismailia and Suez by the midday train, whilst the Russian Consul-General, M. Maxi. moff, left by the 8.10 am. train.
The squadron has drawn a sum of £95,000 from the Credit Lyonnais for their expenses, and of this more than 47,000 francs have been paid in canal dues.
The report is current that a second division of this squadron will set sail early next month and that three torpedo boats are awaiting them at Suda, but I cannot vouch for the truth of the rumour.
Much interest has been aroused by the telegram annouucing that a Russian torpedo boat with a fleet behind it was sighted oft | Port Louis, but the general opinion is that the said torpedo boat and fleet were not Russian but Japanese. As far as we know, the Baltic Heet is nowhere near the Indian Ocean, and we have every reason to believe that the
Japanese fleet is cruising in those waters, | whilst the Baltic Fleet is generally supposed to be sailing towards Djibouti, where it will meet the third squadron. It is therefore a matter for speculation whether we shall see I the Russians pass back through the canal very shortly, or, if the Japanese fleet is really giving chase, whether we shall hear of its total extermination, for it is a very safe I prophecy to say that the fleets which have I passed through the canal can make no stand agtúnst a Japanese fleet which is in as good a condition now as at the beginning of the war. The Japanese ships have all been recently overhauled and thorvuyhly repaired, whilst those of the Russians are almost without ex| ception of ancient date, are badly damaged by heavy weather in many instances, and are manned by crews of uutrained and uneducated peasants.

e Suez, Satarday. The "Kostroma" and the "Herman Lerche" arrived here this forenoon and anchored in the Saez runds. The whole of the squadron is expected about 10 o'clock this evening. Traffic in the canal has been stopped during their passage. (From our CORRESPONDENT).

London, March 18. The British garrison of 3,243 of all ranks in Egypt is estimated to cost £305,292, and as already intimated in my notes, the Khedive's |Gyvernment will contribute the increased sum |of £100,000 towards its maintenance. The | chief items which go towards making up the sum of £305,292 are-pay, £168,000, medical establishment, £8,630, lodging, stable, and field allowance, hire of barracks and build| ings, £9,920; Army Service Corps enbor|dinates and crews of vessels, £4,800 ; pro| visions, forage, light, fuel, colonial allowance,
£64,780 ; alothing, £15,000 ; Army Ordnance Department wages, £2,350, and engineering | works, £16,599.
A sum of £2,000 will be expended on renewing the roofs of the Kasr-el-Nil Barracks, Cairo, in 1905-06. The original estimated gum for I this work was £4,500, subsequently reduced by £1,000. Of the latter estimate, £1,500 has been spent on the work.
From the latest cattle plague bulletin it appears that there were 30 deaths from bovine typhus during the past week and 1,865 inoculations with serum were effected. During | the corresponding week, last year there were (3,780 deaths from the disease. The morta|lity figures since the beginning of the epi|demic amount to 146,948.
The ex-Empress Eugénie and suite, who have been staying at the Savoy, are leaving by the P. and 0. stoamor from Port Said to-day. ||
The ex-Empresa left Cairo by train for Port | Said at 11.5 a,m.A very large number of distin- | guished people were present at the station to bid farewell to the illustrious visitor.

Under "City Notes" in the "Pall Mall Gazette" we read :—Well authenticated rumours are afloat of an impending improve ment in the position of the £1,875,000 31 per cent bonds of this bank. We understand that negotiations are on foot which will result in the interest on these bonds being guaranteed by the Government, instead of merely participating in the general guaranI tee which at present exists in regard to the Iranital of the bank. In return for this certain concessions are to be made by the bank in other directions. These bonds are now gnoted at 961, and will be ex-div. (14 por cent.) on 1st prox., at which price they look rather attractive. It is also worth remember. ing that there is no stamp duty to be paid by purchasers.
The members of the Vienna Choral Society gave a most successful concert at the Khedivial Opera House on Friday night. H. H. the Khedive, Prince Ahmed Fuad, and Prince Mohamed Aly were present, with many of the members of the Corps Diplomatique, and the Opera House has seldom boon 80 full. Many of the items in the programma were encored by a very appreciative house, among them Schumann's "Ritournelle," the"Arab Serenade," by Koemser, and Brahm's "Wilgenlied," which I was admirably given, The Choral Society are levidently admirably trained, their singing is
full of expression and delicato sbading, and their time perfect; we have soldom heard a large choras that was so perfectly "in hand," and the conductors, Messrs. Kremser and Honberger, deserve great credito

Our new Moudir, Hassan Bey Wassif, arrived here here two days ago and was warmly welcomed
by the people. Assoiut expects a great deal
of from him. He is distinguished among the
mondirs the provinces for his intelligence and
experience, which we hope he will use for the
benefit of our moudirieh.
The Court of Assiout has delivered three Death sentences since the beginning of March.
The first was the case of a young man of about
22 years of age, who murdered his father in
order to inherit on and a half feddans of land
which the latter possessed.
The second was the case of a certain Awad
Said Bekbit of Awlad-cl-Sheik (Ghirgeh) who
murdered three persons in one minute. This man
intended to murder the emdeh of his village,
because the latter had accused him of crimes
the perpetrators of which were unknown.
Accordingly, he went with his rifle to the house
of the omdeb, in the month of August 1903,
with the intention of shooting him. Arrived
there he fired but missed the omeh. The
shot, however, took effect on two men who
were sitting near by, killing them on the spot.
The criminal fired again at the omdeh and
a third man was killed by the second shot.
The prisoner confessed his crime and was
condemned to death.
The third case occurred at Mellawi Station.
Two months ago a certain Mustapha Abdul
Ghani was shot there, and on equiries being
Institied the murder confessed, and named
a merchant of the place as being his associate.
The latter was condemmed to death, as
it was proved that he had played the most important
part in the commission of the crime.
It is unual to have three judegments
of dead passed in three weeks in a single
court. But crime is increasing every day,
and it would occupy a great deal of space
daily to tell of the crime in Assiout alone.
There must be something wrong in the
machinery of the police; and that this is
the case will be proved in my next letter.
(Eva Anstruther, in the "Westminister Gazette.")
…Lit each by one red glowing eye of flame,
the low coal barges cluster round the ship.
And, through the night, a dark-hued human
chain,
Coal-laden, chanting, hoarsely, noisily,
Like black invading demons climb the planks,
From barge to ship, and back to barge again,
Casting their burden in the vessel's hold.
Then, with the dawn, the ship's heart throbe
anew,
And, leaving in her wake busy port,
She glides into the narrow water-way
That, like a blade of finely-tempered steel,
Pierces the desert's heart, from sea to sea.
On either side the land, arid and pale,
Stretched afar, in the still monotony;
Unbroken, save where shadows of the clouds
Lie faintly purple on the barren and…
TO THE EDITOR of the "Egptian Gazette "
Sir,—The letter in your issue of yesterday is an excellent demonstration of the truth of the old saying that certain folks rush in where angels fear to tread.
If the writer of the article in question knew anything of the subject, even to the extent of the little knowledge which is a dangerous tiling, he would be aware that the position of the Russian Army to-day and that of the Federals after the Battle of Rappahannock are as different as light is from darkness.
The Federals were defeated, it is true, but they were near their bases, and did not depend
For the supply of ammunitions and provisons on
the limited carrying power of about for thousands
miles of single line railway, with a disloyal personnel.
The writer has been directly concerned in a responsible way with the commissariat of a force of 20,000 fighting men, at a distance of less than 1,000 miles from their base, and be knows how many anxious days and sleepless nights were passed in order to keep the kettles boiling.
That Russian can raise another 500,000 men nobody doubts, but that she can ever transport them to the seat of the war, or deed them even if they were once there, is as impossible as to teach a horse to live on sawdust.
The reference to the Anglo-Boer War shows as much ignorance of military matters as the remarks on Rappahannock.
True it is that the British were far from their base, by the seas was an open highway, and we could send down any number of men we could recruit, and limitless supplies of munitions and provisions.
Against us was an army of say 80,000 men, which included every fighting man of the whole populations, and when that force was worn out, there was no hope replacing it.
But with Japan it is otherwise. Her population is sufficient to enable her to keep up her present armaments and her financial credit such that she need fear no lack of the sinews of war.
The present position of affairs is a striking proof of the verity of the verse of Cowper's hymn quoted by your correspondent.
Truly God moves in a mysterious way. His arm has struck down the ruthless assassins of His people.
"Our God hath crushed the tyrant
Our God hath raised the slave;
Hath mocked the counsel of the wise,
The valour of the brave.
Then glory to His holy Name"
From whom all glories are,
And glory to the little Japs
Who chased the Russians far.
I trust he great historian will forgive me, if ghost can forgive, for the termination I have to put to his lines.
At the risk of being considered naughty, I mist quote a verse on which name into my head on reading the conclusion of Mr. Atwood's letter:
"He moves in a mysterious way To drive Oyama forth.
He never budges towards the south. But always towards the north.

Diseased Kidneys Cause Backache, Urinary Disorders, Gravel, Dizziness, Puffy Flesh, Nervousness, and Irregular Heart's Action.
Kidney disease does not usually come on with sharp pain. If it did it would not be so dangerous, because the patient would at once seek treatment and relief.
On the contrary, most often it comes on quietly — may have been working in the system for years before the patient suspected the real cause of his trouble.
There may have been backaches, limbaches, neuralgia, sciatica, rheumatism, a nervous, irritable feeling, or a generally tired feeling, weak heart, dropsy, etc.
He did not know these were symptoms of kidney disease, and so he doctored the symptoms, and not the kidneys.
Thus the trouble kept growing worse, until disturbances of the water appeared, or there was gravel, or retention of the urine, or backaches — or some such plain sign of kidney trouble that there could be no doubt.
Doan's backache kidney pills should be taken at the first sign of anything wrong. There is no other safe way, because kidney complaints are the most dangerous of all discuss, except consumption. Doan's pills are a great aid and stimulant to the kidneys. They strengthen the kidneys, and help them to perform properly that most important of all functions — the filtering of the blood, — help them to flush off, and carry away with the surplus water, all those impurities which the blood gathers up in its circuit of the body. In no other way can you be well.
This medicine has been in use by the Quakers for 72 years, and is today made of the same roots and herbs as it was 72 years ago. It cannot be improved by adding to, or taking away a single thing. Its effects are only on the kidneys and bladder — not on the bowels. This is the reason for its great success: It does one thing only, hot it done that one thing well.
Doan's backache kidney pills are for sale by all chemists and druggists for P.T. 13 per box, or P.T. 71 for 6 boxes; or they may be had by poet from the general agent foe Egypt, Mr. Max Fischer, Hotel du Nil St., Mousky St. Cairo.
SPORT AT SUEZ
The E. T. 0. cricket ground at Suez has been prepared for the coming season, and the X I is in very good form, ready to compete with any team from any man-of-war that may wish to challenge them.The first hockey season at Suez has been very successful Five matches hare been played by the E. T. C. team against teams, one from H. M. S. "Hogue," one from H.M.S. "Barflour," and three from the cable ship "Electra." Of these matches, the E. T. C. won four and lost one. The winning team was from H. U. S. "Hogue." The football season consisted of fifteen matches. One of the most sporting Association teams at Suez consists of the pupils of the Government Schools, who are very keen on the game and show any amount of pluck. They played the E.T.C. eleven nine times, and secured four goals against seventy during the season with indomitable perseverance. A large number of football matches were arranged with the various cable ships calling at Suez, and there were also matching against H.M.S "Hogue" and Port Said. The victory of the E.T.C eleven over Port Said was more decisive, and they scored six goals to nil. Although the Port Said eleven was picked team, selected from the best players of the large English colony there, they were entirely defeated. We regret to say one of the Port Said team is still in hospital. The Suez Golf Club is very flourishing thanks to the energetic and genial secretary, Mr. Hoseason. Owing to the organizing genius of this gentleman the club has been brought up to the highest pitch of prosperity and numbers nearly half a hundred members, including all the "cream' of the English society of Suez and Port Tewfik. There links are amongst the best in Egypt, and many patrons of the royal and Antient game aver that the Helouan links do not hold a candle of those of Suez. Two golf competitions are held every month, one bogey and one stroke, and substantial prizes are always competed for. The club unfortunately is on the point of losing one of its most enterprising members, Mr. George Owen. This prominent member of the English colony at Suez is a thorough sportsman and is most popular. He is keen member of the Golf Club committee and exerted himself greatly in the construction of the new links Mr. Owen has been appointed to the responsible position of superintended of the Eastern Telegraph Company at Bombay, and a banquet was given in his honor on Saturday. He has been the presiding genius of golf at Suez and is an all-around sportsman. A fine bowling groom has recently been laid out at the Golf Club and, this addition to the many distractions of Suez has been greatly appreciated. A large number of ladies have taken bowling, and this innocent recreation appears to attract many votaries. The Golf Club has also laid out a croquet "lawn" The word "lawn" at Suez is used in symbolical sense, as there is not a blade of grass for many miles around. The "lawn" consists of carefully rolled sand, chosen for its hard surface, and it makes an admirable ground. The Golf Club is greatly appreciated by the English colony at Suez because it forms a convenient place of assembly for local gossip of an innocent and harmless character. The two tennis clubs at Suez have lately received many new members. The two clubs are formed of the Suez and Port Tewfik residents and the members of the Eastern Telegraph Staff. Every week there are three "at homes" on the club's grounds. A tournament is now being played between the members of the E. T. C, Club.
A correspondent recently wrote to the President of the Board of Trade, drawing attention to the fact that, according to the latest report to hand, British commerce with Egypt showed a distinctly shrinking tendency. It was farther suggested that the Government would do well to establish some system of trustworthy inquiry in all cases where there was a falling off in trade with other countries. In reply the correspondent has been furnished with the figures for the last ten years, representing the proportion borne by imports from the United Kingdom to the total imports into Egypt as follow:1895, 31.5 per cent. ; 1896, 31.1 per cent . ; 1897, 33.4 per cent ; 1898, 35.1 per cent. ; 1899, 37.9 per cent ; 190n, 37.6 per cent ; 1901, 36.5 per cent; 1902, 36.8 per cent t. ; 1903, 35.3 percent ; 1904, 34.0 per cent It is farther pointed out that, "although the proportion of imports derived from the United Kingdom has declined slightly during the last few years, it is still greater than in the first few of the years included above."It further appears, from the official reply, "that the fluctuations in the shore figures from year to year arise, to a large extent, from the variations in the price of coal, the imports of which are derived almost entirely from the United Kingdom. If oral be excluded, the figures will appear as follow "1896, 28.1 per cent, 1896. 28.0 per cent; 1897, 30 8 per cent ; 1898, 31.4 per cent. ; 1899, 32.9 per cent ; 1900, 82.4 per cent; 1901, 82.3 per cent; 1902, 33 0 per cent. ; 1903, 31.8 per cent; 1904, 81-0 per cent
