Mr. A. Lyttelton rose and stood 10 minutes attempting to speak, the opposition meanwhile shouting: "Balfour! Balfour!" till finally he sat down in face of the terrible din.

Three Lelamaim Bedouins have been sentenced to hard labour for life for killing a seller of cotton goods on the 20th August last year. As the deceased was walking from the village of Abou Khalil to Beni-Rafr in company with his servant, they were attacked by these three Bedouins. The cotton-seller was killed and the servant fainted. The Bedouins took all that they could lay their hands on and escaped but were soon captured in Abou Khalil village. Said Hasaan, omdeh of Benii Rafr, on hearing of the murder, promptly surrounded Abou Khalil village (although this was not within his jurisdiction) with bis ghaffirs, and succeeded in arresting the murderers and recovering the stolen property.

The worm reported at Kafr Khadr, Tantah markas, is pronounced to be the Labhyema esigua. The full-grown worm is considerably smaller than the Agrodis and is green in colour, with a dark line running horizontally along each side. The eggs are laid in the bersim on various kinds of grass, and on the lower side of the cotton leaf. When the eggs are first hatched, the young worms remain together and feed in groups, but after the first few days they stray all over the plant, eating the epidermis of the leaf, which rapidly turns brown and frizzles away. It appears that the worms do not feed during the heat of the day, but go down to the ground, where they take shelter from the sun.
At Kafr Khadr the area of 300 feddans, which was badly attacked, has now been cleared by some hundreds of boys, who proceeded to shake the worm off the plants and then pick them off the ground. The young plants, which have suffered considerably, will probably revive, and the crop need not ultimately suffer.
The entomologist of the Khedivial Agricultural Society of opinion that these worms, which have now been found among the young cotton, belong to the third brood, and considers it possible that later broods may combine with the true cotton worm in the attack on the cotton plants at a later stage.
Careful observation and hand picking, as prescribed for the Prodenia littoralis, or cotton worm proper are necessary, as it is evident that this worm, if neglected, is capable of inflicting very serious damage.
In compliance with a request from the Ministry of the Interior, the Imperial Ottoman Bank have placed the services of Mr. Wortabet at their disposal for cotton worm duty.
Mr. Wortabet, who had considerable experience in locust plague in Cyprus, was very successful in performing similar work during the locust plague in Egypt last year.
A Cairo correspondent writes . — We are being visited by one of those heat waves which dwellers in Cairo are accustomed to expect at this season of the year, and it is obvious that at such periods water for domestic purposes becomes our most precious commodity. But as usually happens in this country, when a thing is most urgently needed it it not to be had. It is therefore hardly strange that our water supply has diminished to almost vanishing point. Today (21st) I find there is no water at all. I might mention that daring the last spell of heat a week or so ago the price of ice was quadrupled. I have been frequently told by persons living on the second and third floors of houses in Cairo that habitually and under ordinary circumstances they can only get water during certain hours of the day. They find it useless to complain to the company. That a company earning such enormous profits as the Cairo Water Company, and with a Government representative on the board in the person of Sir Horace Pinching, should thus be permitted to neglect its duty and imperil the health of Egypt's Capital with impunity, is extraordinary.

The weather here has been almost unbearable for the last few days. It is very hot and damp. Notwithstanding, only a few miles away from here it has been raining heavily, and much damage has been done to the railway line. In some parts the line has been washed away for a length of several miles through the heavy rainfalls coming from the mountains into the khors, over which bridges will have to be erected. All the available men of the Railway Battalion are on the line repairing the damage done.
The Rev. E. H Blyth, Church of England Chaplain, left for Suez by the S.S "Mahallah" on tho 9th inst.

At dawn yesterday the North German Lloyd S.S. "Rhein" arrived here having on board, in addition to a few ordinary passengers, 1,170 German bluejackets, who proceed to Kiao Ghau to relieve the crews of men-of-war there in commission. Throughout the day, bands of 200 or so, in charge of an officer, roamed about the town evidently much interested in all they saw. They were mostly all young men, apparently going East for the first time. The vessel entered the Canal at midnight.
The Rennie Line S.S "Inkula" arrived the same day. This vessel is chartered by the Russian Government as a hospital ship, and had on board 1,147 wounded and sick for Odessa, for which port she sailed at dawn today. I was struck, on boarding her, by the seeming comfort with which the men were surrounded. Amongst other things, Russian ladies had provided 400 long cane chairs, and numerous swinging cots were slung about the upper deck

The quickest route to Europe from Egypt is destined to be the Pineus, Demirli and Frontier Railway, the construction of which is proceeding steadily, and is in the hands of the "Societe de Travaux pour L'Etranger". (a Franco British combination). In Thessaly work is now proceeding on the sections between Pintamilos and Skavamitza, a distance of 13 miles, and between Skavamitza and Demirli, a distance of 10 miles. Later on the line will be continued from Demirli to Larissa, a distance of 28 miles, permission having been already granted by the Greek Government. This section is expected to be completed within about two years. Eventually it is intended to carry the line from Larissa through the Vale of Tempe to connect with the Ottoman railway system. It is not yet, however, definitely settled at what spot the junction will be effected, but it is hoped that the entire undertaking will be completed within five years. The "Societe de Travaux pour L'Etranger" holds a concession from the Greek Government to work the entire line for a period of 50 years.
We published Mr. Greenwood's statements on Friday last on the subject of Sir R Stanton and the Suez Canal shares, and in connection with this matter a correspondent writes as follows to a London contemporary:-
No one who has any knowledge of the eminent services of Gen. Sir. E. Stanton as Consul-General of this country in Egypt during the administration of the Khedive Ismail willful to do justice to the filial efforts of Gen. Stanton's son to protect the memory of his distinguished father from any imputation upon the record of one of the most admirable representatives of the best type of the British soldier and gentleman that was ever employed by the State, in the extraordinary difficulties and embarrasments of a complicated diplomatic position. This position Sir E. Stanton was called upon to fill at Cairo at a period to which Mr. Greenwood directed the remarks which he appears to have modified subsequently. In the troublesome epoch of the dual control I know that the intelligence, honesty and admirable directions of Sir E. Stanton's consular action were regarded with confidence by those who, like myself, were acquainted with him and his work.

Captain Mahan, U S.N., has a long article in the "Times", in which he discusses the problem that Rodjestvensky and Togo must solve. In the course of it he says:-
We do not know where Togo is; but we may be sure that, wherever he is, he is thinking hard now, and that his present position is the result of very hard thinking in the past three months, or more, that the Baltic Fleet has been reported coming, and the fall of Port Arthur has left him free. No one of us, deeply interested, but not vitally responsible, can rival the mental processes through which that man, calm, capable, self-possessed, and heroic, must be passing, as he scans in imagination the enemy's designs, and in imagination provides the means of counteracting them.
Necessity stimulated invention. He knows that the Russian fleet is in the China Sea; he is assured that it must go to Vladivostok—if it can -aid "that," I can fancy him saying, as Nelson the night before Trafalgar, "that they shall not do, if it be in the power of Nelson and Bronte to prevent them."
He "guesses" that the Japanese Admiral is waiting at Kelung, a port on the north coast of Formosa, and that Rodjestvonsky, on his way to Vladivostok, will prefer to pass by daylight in the southern of the two principal channels between Luzon and Formosa, making thence a wide sweep to the eastward of the Japanese islands, where probably the Japanese will be on hand to profit by opportunities, He continues:—
The character of the Japanese force, embracing a great superiority of torpedo vessels, and probably of squadron speed, should enable them in many ways to chose the times and Manner of attack ; to refuse their battleships, in which they are inferior, and perhaps to utilise the swiltness of their armoured cruisers, by concentrating them upon a flank of the enemy's column, and withdrawing them when menaced by the rest of his force.
The chances of continued cheap cotton are very favorable. The experts are looking for ward to a big, and even a record, stock in farmers hands at the beginning of the new season on September 1 next. In their latest circular Messrs. Neill Bros', arrive at the conclusion that, even with-this year's commercial crop at over 13,000,000 bales, "everything tends to show, that even this enormous delivery would leave in the country nearly a million bales still undelivered on August 31 next, to swell the total of next season's crop. And one of their correspondents, Mr. J. W. Soady, writes:- "It is quite possible that over 2 millions of bales will remain in farmers' hands." This view is fortified by that of Mr. Degener-Boning, of Frankfort, who predicts that the stock will reach 2 1/2 million bales, against 458,000 bales on September 1 last. If this estimate, be realised, and American production be normal next year, the trade may make up its mind to see considerably lower prices oven than have been touched recently. The only disadvantage attaching to such a state of affairs, from an English point of view, is that it will, perhaps, check somewhat the nascent Imperial cotton- growing industries.
With the excellent object of diminishing drinking habits among te indian masses, the Abkari Department has almost continuously raised the duty on native spirits. In itself, that was wholly laudable, the drink being so cheap; that any native who had a mind to get drunk could manage the debauch for two or three coppers. But the reform unhappily played iuto the hands of the importers and manipulators of foreign intoxicants. A Bombay paper asserts that awful concoctions, labelled brandy, gin, or rum, can now purchased at lower prices than their indigenous rivals, to which the imports are very inferior in wholesomeness and parity. The result is that any gain to temperance concequent on making native spirits dearer is more than balanced by the increased consumption of foreign stimulants. There is a peculiar brew of so-called "champagne" which particularly wins popular favor. It is both sweet and potent, with plenty of effervescence to tickle the native palate, and as the stuff can be bought at lower rates than good toddy or "rasee," those ancient favorites of the Indian bon vivant seem likely to pass entirety out of vogue. When properly manufactured-everything depends that—toddy does not deserve the bad reputation it has acquired among Europeans. Jos Sedley, no mean judge, appears to have regarded it as the finest of all spirits for conversion into punch, and although he occasionally suffered after taking too much, there is no evidence of any permanent injury to his constitution.
The "Preussische Korrespondenz." learns from a trustworthy source that the German nival programme which is to be published next autumn will not contain, proposals for the reconstruction of the present battleships, and that there is no intention to change the type of the German battleships. But the loading naval circles in Germany are unanimous in the view that it is absolutely necessary German warships should be built with more speed, and that a larger type of warship should be laid down for the German Navy, as it is agreed generally that in both respects Germany will have to follow sooner or later the example set by other Powers. However, a reform of the Imperial finances is necessary before there can be any question about extending the naval programme as laid down by law already. In pointing out that while it takes a German yard about 35 months to build a battleship of 13,000 tons' displacement, an English shipbuilding yard can turn out a large battleship of about 20,000 tons' displacement iN ten months, the journal referred to says that the time required for preparing the building material is not taken into account in England, while it is in German yards. Hence the great difference.
An extraordinary law suit was decided in Paris on Saturday week, in the strictest sense, in camera. As might have been expected, the secret—that of a dead king—which it was desired to keep, was blown to the public, almost before the decision was given. The late King Alfonso XII. of Spain left, it appears, two natural sous, whose mother was the celebrated Spanish singer Senorita Elena Sauz. At the late King's death, a sum of £20,000 was placed in a certain Paris bank, and the interest was to be paid for the benefit of the two sons, who are now known as M.M. Fernand and Henri Sanz Martinez de Aruzala. They are French citizens. The mother, as a condition of this subvention, agreed to keep secret the paternity of her sons, and did so until recently, when the bank ceased to pay the interest. Then the sons took action, the bank was ordered to pay as before, together with all arrears.
Bubonic plague has recently broken out in Rangoon, Burmah. Hitherto Burmah has remained entirely free from this disease owing to the stringent measures which are adopted to prevent any case of plague entering its ports undetected. Passengers arriving there from Indian ports are subjected to a rigorous medical examination, and are compelled to pay daily visits to a medical officer for a period of ten days after their arrival.
It is interesting to note that the deaths from plague are almost entirely reported from amongst the Indian coolies, and but seldom notified from the Burmese and large Chinese population.
In the course of evidence being given at the trial, at Perugia, of an Italian Darned Lieutenant Modugno for the murder of his wife, extraordinary revelations are being made regarding his conduct during the international expedition in China.
The Lieutenant's own soldiers went into the witness-box and declared that they had been compelled by him, under pain of the most merciless flogging, to perpetrate inhuman and revolting acts upon the native Chinese. Upon one occasion the prisoner ordered them to roast a Chinese baby in the street at Pao-ting-fu. Some adult natives were buried alive up to the waist and then flogged to death. The prisoner smiled while these and similar horrors were narrated.
The other Italian officers who were with the international force in China at the same time as the accused have petitioned the Army authorities to make a searching investigation into the matter.
Geologists are puzzling over an iron bolt ten inches long, and an inch in diameter, which has been discovered in the fossil beds near where the diplodoens, presented by Mr Carnegie to the Pittsburg Museum, was found. It is not of modern manufacture, and it give, a peculiar silvery ring when struck. The suggestion that it has been placed in the mesozoic formation, in which it was found, by human agency, is scouted as impracticable The presence of the bolt is difficult to reconcile with the accepted theories of the first appearance of man on earth, as the formation goes back for millions of years.
The war is the Far East is absorbing so much attenttion that the evolution which is going on in China is (says "Egineering") apt to be overlooked. The war itself is rapidly changing conditions, and unless British engineers and merchants adapt themselves to the altered circumstances, they will find themselves left out in the cold. This is specially true of the Upper Yangtse Provinces which have always been looked upon as the part of China in which Britain had its greatest interests. For some time past, however, a great deal of attention has been paid to these provinces by Continental mining engineers. Some six weeks before the expedition with which Lieutenant Colonel Manifold was connected, two French engineers pissed through the same districts, and ten months before that a party of three had also visited the district. Subsequent to the British expedition, separate parties of Belgian, American, and French engineers have been prospecting. Lieutenant Colonel Manifold hass expressed the hope that those interested in British mining enterprises in China wonld investigate into the prospects which those regions hold out, for there appears to be little doubt that the prospects of mineral wealth are worthy of their attention.
It is worthy of note, as a correspondent of the "Times" recently pointed out, that while the Russian censorship is supposed to have been relaxed, not a word has been suffered to appear about the Zemstvo Congress. Not even a quotation has been published regarding it from the foreign papers. Yet we hear day by day of outrages, workmen's risings, and other symptoms of agitation. The correspondent in question takes the fact as bearing, on the whole, a favorable significance. The outlook, he thinks, though gloomy, is not as desperate as it appears to foreign critics. "Unless the Government introduces sweepingly coercive and repressive measures, the chances are in favour of evolution, not revolution." This is what the best friends of Russia would hope to see coming to pass, but the coercion and repression which forbid the expectation are just what appears to most of us to be in evidence just now. The events which have occurred, and are occurring every day, in Warsaw and other towns in Poland are unmistakable signs of it, and we may well believe that much as comes to our knowledge, it is not by any means the whole. It is doubtless but a small proportion of the outbreaks of disorder and the ruthless measures of repression adopted which find their way into the paper. There is no sign, so far as the ordinary sources of information may be relied upon, that a new policy has come into favor. In a word, we can discern no indication that evolution is likely to take the place of revolution. The optimists admit that exiled labour leaders continue to spread Social Democratic doctrine in the villages, and by means of lying proclamations to divert popular opinion against the Jews and reformers.
In his last private cotton trade circular, Mr. William Tattersall, of Manchester, says that four large new spinning-mills have been definitely decided upon during the last few weeks, making 37 factories in all to be erected, which will hold 3,310,000 spindles. Three mills, not included in the above figures, have just been completed for working purposes. The cost of the 37 mills will be in round numbers £4,000,000. They will find employment for about 8,500 operatives.

Some stir was caused by the Kaiser's latest speech, in which he was reported as having said very unkind things about the debaucheries of Russian officers as a factor in their defeats by the Japanese. All things considered, it seemed unlikely that even the Kaiser would have put things quite in that way. But the reports published by the German newspapers do not alter the case materially. The Emperor's remarks, claims the semi-official "Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," have some of them been distorted, others are an invention. But in the 'Strassburger Post" his words, though more allusive, are none the less definite. Officers, he is stated to have said, should work hard and go early to bed instead of seeking enervating pleasures. The present war exemplifies this— the Russian officers' corps has completely failed. "My son," he added, "has told me how the Russian officers bought up all the champagne at Kiao-chan". That is a German account, written under the fear of all the pains and penalties that hang over the head of an editor in the Fatherland. The language is less lurid than in the first reports, but the meaning is identical, and the Kaiser must, it seems, be credited once and for all with one more of his characteristic bombshells. The result remains to be seen.
A shocking accident has befallen the Spanish hamlet of Villa Manregne, in New Castile. The children of the village were at play, and formed a procession, which marched along the wide plain towards the mountains, where they were espied by a herd of young bulls being reared for the arena. The brutes, about 200 in number, at once charged in a body upon the little intruders, who were swept in their terror-stricken flight into a narrow defile, where they were trodden under the hoofs of the bulls, the whole Lord passing over them, though fortunately without using their horns. Still, it is doubtful whether ten of the children will recover. Twenty others are badly injured. Tnere is only one doctor in the canton.
The Cultivation of the journalistic instinct often leads to complications. A prisoner, remanded recently on a charge of stealing a pair of boots, tol dthe detective that she stole the boots in order to get into a police cell "I am writing a newspaper article on the insanitary conditions of the cells," she said. We shall have burglars pleading that they broke into a house to obtain local colour for the big scone in their next novel.
