The rising against Turkish authority in South-Western Arabia has hardly attracted so much attention as it appears to be entitled to, alike from its intrinsic interest and from its potential importance. For a period of now something like four years intermittent hostilities have been in progress between the local tribesmen and the Turkish garrisons, but for a long time these amounted to nothing more than a series of desultory and indecisive skirmishes. Quite recently, however, the aspect of affairs has undergone a serious change. The troops of the Sultan are no longer able to hold their own, and the City of Sana, the official and strategical capital of the vilayet of Yemen, has fallen into the hands of the insurgents. This was not the result of any sudden raid or unexpected attack, but was the direct consequence of the defeat suffered by Marshal Riza Pasha and the six thousand troops under his command in April last, when his Chief of the Staff was killed and seven guns, together with a considerable quantity of rifles, ammunition, and other stores, were captured by the victorious rebels. Nothing effective has been done to remedy this reverse. Reports from Constantinople speak, indeed, of two expeditionary columns for the recovery of the town working round, one by way of Tais and the other from Menakha, but there appears to be every reason for thinking that, just as in the earlier part of the year when out of the eight battalions of the Janina Brigade only two were found to be available, while the attempt to mobilise the Albanian Redifs resulted in practical failure, so also at the present moment there exists a substantial difficulty in bringing the ostensible strengh of the Imperial forces to bear upon the hard facts of the situation. The danger increases day by day. Only a few days ago it was announced that the rebels were marching on Mecca, and there was nothing inherently improbable in this, for having in effect secured the control of the more populous of the two vilayets—the Yemen—it was only natural that they would proceed to overflow into the Hedjaz. Mecca is, it is understood, not in a condition to offer any real resistance, and its fall would be an event fraught with the very gravest consequences, such as, indeed, no friend of the Turkish Empire would contemplate with equanimity. Before the fall of Sana the Vali of Uskub, General Shikir Pasha, was appointed president of a commission to inquire into the Yemen situation with a view to the introduction of administrative reforms, but the rebels declined to treat, and the fact that the Imam Yahya Hamid-el-Din has struck a gold coinage and assumed the title of Khalif is highly ominous. The Arabs of all Arabia may have found the leader who has failed them for centuries, and should Arabia break loose from the Ottoman Empire and Mecca be torn from the grasp of the Sultan, the new situation will demand the utmost care and forethought on the part of British diplomacy.
The "Potemkin" has left, it is believed in the direction of Odessa. Before her departure the torpedo-boat which accompanied her tried to enter the port in quest of provisions, which the authorities had already refused. It was obliged to retire before the fire of a Roumanian cruiser. The mutineers are starving, and are quarrelling among themselves. (Reuter.)
Before leaving, the mutineers handed the prefect a bombastic proclamation, declaring war on all Russian ships that do not join them, and notifying their intention to bombard Russian ports. Neutrals will be respected. (R.)
It is stated that two torpedo-boats have left in pursuit of the "Potemkin. (Hanot.)
Admiral Kruger has telegraphed that the crew of the transport "Prout" has mutinied in Tendrov Bay, killed two officers, and seized others. The "Prout" has arrived at Sevastopol and the crew is repentant. (Reuter.)
Serious disturbances are reported from Kieff. (Havas.)
The Moscow revolutionary committee has requested the employes of the Vistula railway to strike, so as to prevent the mobilisation.

The Department of Agriculture officially denies any departure from usual method in figuring report, and says the figures are strictly comparable with those of last month last year, and the ten years average. Private crop report growing worse, expect that public appreciation of report and condition will result in immediate advance to twelve cents, as there are no sellers, and Sully's campaign has left public imagination fully alive to the possibility of seventeen cents.
A note from the Ministry of the Interior informs us that the operations for the destruction of the cotton worm have been continued during the last week (June 24 to July 1) and have assumed greater proportions in consequence of the appearance of a number of the eggs of the worm in several localities. The Fayoum province, which had hitherto remained free from the pest, has been lightly attacked.
The Ministry further favors us with the following reports from the provinces for the same period : —
Menoufieh :—Out of 2,692 feddans, belonging to 625 proprietors, which have been attacked 2,592 feddans have been cleared from the worm by 6,163 children.
Sharkieh :—1,367 feddans, belonging to 399 proprietors, have been attacked and 1,300 have been cleared by 3,865 children.
Behera :—12,696 feddans, belonging to 848 proprietors, have been attacked and 5,417 have been cleared by 15,475 children.
Gharbieh :—3,086 feddans, belonging to 316 proprietors, have been attacked and 2,119 have been cleared by 5,364 children.
Dakahlieh :— 3,868 feddans, belonging to 728 proprietors, have been attacked and 3,069 have been cleared by 7,226 children.
Kalioubieh :—1,970 feddans, belonging to 267 proprietors, have been attacked and 1,498 have been cleared by 4,388 children.
Ghizeh :—2,467 feddans, belonging to 1,004 proprietors, have been attacked and 2,411 have been cleared by 4,421 children.
Fayoum :—51 feddans, belonging to 13 proprietors, have been attacked and 37 have been cleared by 200 children.
Damietta :—154 feddans, belonging to 94 proprietors, have been attacked and have all been cleared by 1,131 children.
It will thus be seen that 28,351 feddans in all, belonging to 4,194 proprietors, have suffered and that 18,597 feddans have been cleared by 48,215 children.

Our readers will recollect in March last we announced that the committee of the above club in Cairo had received notice from the Government that the ground on which stood the club buildings would be required in six months' time for the improvements in connection with the new boulevard now being made from Kasr- el-Nil to Abbassieh. The authorities at the same time informed the committee that they placed at their disposal a plot of some 6,000 square metres which would be let to the club on a lease of 25 years at the nominal rent of P.T. 1 per square metre, and that the Public Works Department would undertake, free of cost, to level and enclose and otherwise prepare the ground. The Government besides offered £400 as compensation in view of the expense to be incurred in removing. The committee gladly accepted these sums, as the ground offered in exchange is in a very suitable position, being the corner plot on the Boulac-road, on the opposite side of the bridge. As the preparatory work to be performed by the P.W.D. will take quite a year to complete there seems every probability that the club will remain where it is for that further period, if not longer. The cost of the present premises, with tennis ground, &c., was over £2,000, which was raised by the issue of 2,500 shares of L.E. 1, of which P.T. 75 was paid up, leaving P.T. 25 to be called up later.
We should not omit to mention that a similar notice to quit was sent at the same time to the other three club, viz., the German, Swiss, and Thewfikieh Tennis Club, who have been also offered other sites on the same terms and in the same locality as those of the British Recreation Club, but no monetary compensation, as the former dabs have been in existence for a much longer period and are therefore considered to have been fully recompensed for any expense incurred by the length of time granted them, which in one case is, we are told, over 20 years, whilst the B.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondants, but we wish in a spirit of fair play to all to permit--within certain necessary limits--free discourse.
To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette.
Dear Sir,—In your paragraph of Monday, 3rd July, re "Esbekieh Gardens," the large attendances, and entire absence of police supervision, you observe :—
"We should have thought it hardly necessary for the Press to have to point out to the police authorities that wherever a crowd of some thousands congregate there should be a number of policemen to maintain order............................. ''
It does seem comioally absurd that the newspaper Press should be called upon to "point out" to the so-called police force of Cairo its manifest and patent duty. It is unfortunate that the capital city of Africa should be without police. I mean, of course, the city guards, who ought to be available at all times, to exercise those functions which are the A.B.C. of policemen's duty, in all cities of the world, except Cairo.
Cannot the pavements of the principal and most frequented thoroughfares, including the Opera-square and the main streets radiating therefrom, be kept free of troops of sheep and goats which perambulate there from morning till night, forcing thousands of ladies from the sidewalks into the roadways to save dainty draperies from the droppings of the animals ? Could not the hours when sheep and goats go through the city be regulated as in Europe É
Is it impossible, or quite possible, to devise means to prevent the keepers and owners of restaurants and bars from monopolising not only the pavements, but in many instances the roadways, and by filling them with tables and chairs for their hundreds of customers' convenience, prevent thousands of pedestrians from using the footpaths, which the law almost forces them to use ?
Not only these bar monopolists but the native camel men are equally blameable in this respect. I saw a troop of loaded camels marching on the pavement on the Esbekieh- gardens side at 6 o'clock in the evening last week and frightened ladies jumping off it in front of the trams and vehicles. The policeman on (presumedly) point duty, was deeply engaged in astronomical studies at the time, and did not see the camels, but it struck me that a constable who was not an amateur astronomer was essential in this busiest of thoroughfares.
Is it quite impossible to regulate the movements, and above all insist upon the quieter conduct, of the thousands of native watchmen in the better class residential streets, who, having slept all day, bring their benches to the pavements at night, and congregating in groups from neighbouring houses, howl and scream all night, in argumentative strife over subjects of no earthly interest, even to themselves ? Their one success is in keeping tired people awake and indignant. Could not these be prevented from using the streets for their nightly meeting and be restricted to their owners' gardens ?
Is it not practicable to formulate and give effect to regulations providing for the use of footpaths for pedestrians and roads for wheeled and analogous traffic ? At present the roadways are used, in common with vehicles, by chiefly the native population, and no attempts are made to keep them for vehicles. The result is that a cabdrive is a painful and headaching experience, as the drivers are incessantly engaged in shouting warnings to foot passengers, to other cab drivers, who will not keep their proper side, and particularly to native drivers of heavy carts, who sprawl all over the road heedless of everyone. If London traffic can be efficiently regulated with its population of six millions, why not Cairo with six hundred thousand ?
The remedy in the hands of the authorities is a simple one. Import a London City Inspector of Police. Arm him with wide but carefully regulated powers, and Cairo will become the well-ordered city it at present it not. The police, as they are, seem to be a fairly civil and reasonably plastic body, but they want some teaching, and this is, apparently, entirely absent.
To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette.
Sir,—Two days ago a fine horse was run over at Ibrahimieh. The unfortunate animal had the oft hind leg all but severed at the thickest part, but instead of being left near the scene of the accident until the police could send and shoot it, I saw it being urged along on three legs by a nondetscript crowd headed by a policeman, over the hill at Ibrahimieh to Hadra police station. On being remonstrated with, the policeman said he could not get a cart to convey it. This treatment, one would think, was cruel enough, but I hear since, on reaching Hadra this victim of civilisation was denied its right to a merciful bullet, because forsooth ! — the exigencies of "red tape" required that it should be taken on to Rosetta Gate. By the time it had been dragged as far as Hadra I am told that the bone had come right through the skin, and one can imagine the agony needlessly inflicted during the long tramp through the mid-day heat.
It seems to me that on such an occasion the police might be allowed on their own responsibility to take a more humane course. Alexandria is reputed an enlightened town and even has its S.P.C.A.--I am, etc.,

— « Plan d'études des 3me et 4me années secondaires (Voir Annexe A). "
Les études de la 3me et de la 4me année secondaire ayant principalement pour objet de préparer des sujets qualifiés pour le recrute ment des écoles supérieures, il a été jugé nécessaire d'y spécialiser renseignement et de subdiviser chacune de ces classes en deux sections 1° Section littéraire plus spécialement destinée à la préparation des candidats à l'École Khédiviale de Droit ;
2° Section scientifique préparant à l'admission aux Écoles de Médecine et Polytechnique Quant à l'École Normale de Darb el Gamamiz elle pourra se recruter simultanément dans le deux sections, son objet étant de prépare pour l'enseignement dans les écoles primaires, non seulement des professeurs de lettres mais aussi des professeurs de mathématiques.
Cette spécialisation des études secondaire permettra de renforcer dans les sections scientifiques l'enseignement des mathématiques des sciences et le dessin ; et dans les section littéraires, de donner à l'enseignement de l'histoire et de la géographie un développement plus considérable, et en même temps d'y introduire l'étude d'une deuxième langue européenne, dite langue accessoire, dont la connaissance élémentaire est considérée comme indispensable pour les étudiants de l'École de Droit.
En ce qui concerne l'enseignement de la langue arabe, de la langue européenne principale et de la traduction, il est prévu dans le nouveau plan d'études que ces matières core porteront dans les sections scientifiques et littéraires de la 3me et de la 4me année, le même nombre de leçons hebdomadaires que dans les classes de 1re et de 2me année ; d telle sorte que tous les élèves qui se présenteront à l'examen du Certificat d'Études Secondaires, auront acquis une connaissance beaucoup plus étendue de ces matières essentielles, puisqu'ils les auront étudiées pendant un année de plus.
Il convient, en outre, de remarquer que quelques leçons seront affectées dans les sections littéraires de la 3me et de la 4me année à la continuation de l'étude des mathématiques c des sciences. Il a paru an Comité Technique qu ces matières sont trop importantes, au point d vue du développement de l'esprit, pour qu leur enseignement puisse être abandonné après la 2ème année secondaire.
— " Règlement de l'examen du Certificat d'Études Secondaires (Voir Annexe C).
Le Certificat d'Études Secondaires donner seul accès aux écoles supérieures du Gouvernement et constituera un titre à l'admission aux emplois de l'État d'un ordre plu élevé que ceux qui sont accessibles aux porteurs du Certificat d'Aptitude.
L'examen du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires sera conduit conformément aux prescriptions du Règlement ci-joint (Annexe C).
Ce Règlement ne diffère de celui qui a été jusqu'ici en vigueur pour l'examen du Certificat d'Études Secondaires que sur trois points principaux :
1° L'examen comportera deux séries d'épreuves, (a) Série littéraire, (b) Série scient tique. Les épreuves de chaque série porteront, respectivement, sur les matières qui sou enseignées dans les sections littéraires et dans les sections scientifiques des classes de 3me et de 4me année, mais seront basées, pour chaque matière, sur le programme entier des quatre années secondaires ; quant aux épreuves d langue arabe, de langue européenne principal et de traduction, elles seront communes aux candidats des deux sections.
2" Pour être admis à subir l'examen oral, les candidats deront avoir obtenu à l'examen écrit un nombre de points au moins égal à 50 % du total maximum des notes attribuées à l'ensemble des épreuves, avec un minimum spécial pour la langue arabe égal à 50 % de la note maxima attribuée à cette matière.
3° A partir de 1910, tous les candidats au Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires devront avoir subi avec succès, dans une année antérieure l'examen du Certificat d'Aptitude, c'est-à-dire l'examen qui porte sur le programme des deux premières années du cours secondaire
Il est mentionné en outre dans ce Règlement que les candidats qui auront obtenu le Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires conformément au nouvelles prescriptions, seront aptes à remplir des emplois du cadre rétribués à raison de L.E. comme traitement de débat, ce qui est raisonnable, étant donné que ces candidats auront acquis une supériorité incontestable sur ceux qui ont obtenu le Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires dans les conditions du Règlement de ce examen jusqu'ici en vigueur.
Comme mesures transitoires, l'examen d Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires, en 1906, ne portera que sur le programme des trois premières années du cours secondaire.
Le Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires qui sera délivré en 1906, sera assimilé au Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires actuel, et la possession de ce Certificat conferera au porteur tous le avantages et privilèges qui sont attachés à la possession du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires obtenu conformément au Règlement qui a été jusqu'ici en vigueur.
Les candidats appartenant aux écoles du Gouvernement qui échoueront à l'examen en 1906, seront versés dans les classes de 4me année secondaire, section littéraire ou section scientifique, selon leurs aptitudes, et devront subir l'examen du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires, en 1907, sur la programme complet des quatre années d'études.
Les mesures transitoires prévues ci-dessus, ne seront applicables qu'à l'année 1906. Dès l'année 1907, tous les candidats, aussi bien ceux des écoles du Gouvernement que ceux qui n'appartiendront pas à ces écoles, seront tenus dé passer l'examen du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires sur le programme complet des quatre années du cours d'études secondaires, et conformément à toutes les prescriptions du nouveau Règlement de cet examen, sans aucune restriction.
(e)—Programmes de l'enseignement secondaire ( Voir annexe D).
Les programmes, adaptés à la nouvelle organisation des écoles secondaires, ont été dressés par des commissions composées d'inspecteurs du Ministère, ainsi que de Directeurs et de Professeurs des écoles secondaires et supérieures, c'est-à-dire de ceux qui ont la responsabilité de l'application de ces programmes.
Pour répondre au double but que poursuit le Ministère par la nouvelle organisation de l'enseignement secondaire, soit, (a) de former, après deux années d'études, des jeunes gens ; aptes à remplir d'une manière satisfaisante les emplois du Gouvernement ; (b) de préparer en quatre années, pour le recrutement des écoles supérieures, des candidats ayant reçu une instruction secondaire plus complète et mieux adaptée, les nouveaux programmes présentent un double caractère : 1. pour les deux premières années, ils comportent l'étude des notions essentielles de toutes les matières constituant la base d'une culture générale ; 2. à partir de la troisième année, ils admettent une certaine spécialisation ; de telle sorte qu'il sera possible de traiter les sujets prescrits d'une manière plus méthodique et plus complète et par suite de faire une plus large part au raisonnement, d'initier les élèves à de bonnes méthodes de travail et de mieux former leur esprit.
Resume des Propositions.
En résumé, la réorganisation de l'enseignement secondaire, proposée par le Comité Technique, consiste dans ses grandes lignes :
1e A porter de 3 à 4 années la durée des études secondaires.
2 A subdiviser l'enseignement dans les classes de 3me et de 4me année en deux sections, l'une littéraire et l'autre scientifique : la section littéraire destinée plus spécialement à la préparation à l'Ecole Khédiviale de Droit, et la section scientifique, à la préparation aux Ecoles de Médecine et Polytechnique.
3° A instituer un examen portant sur le programme des deux premières années secondaires, à la suite duquel sera délivré un certificat, dit "Certificat d'Aptitude aux emplois inférieurs du cadre du personnel civil"
destiné à remplacer 1e Certificat d'Etudes Primaires comme titre à l'admission aux emplois de l'Etat, les porteurs de ce certificat ayant le droit, soit de continuer leurs études secondaires, soit de postuler pour des emplois dans les administrations. Cet examen aura lieu pour la première fois en 1907 ; et, à partir de janvier 1910, le Certificat d'Etudes Primaires cessera de donner accès aux emplois du Gouvernement
4° A faire porter l'examen da Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires sur un programme de quatre années d'études, et à subdiviser cet examen en deux séries d'épreuves : l'une littéraire et l'autre scientifique. La possession de ce Certificat donnera accès aux écoles supérieures, et permettra aussi de postuler pour des emplois dans les administrations du Gouvernement. A partir de 1910, le Certificat d'Aptitude sera exigé des candidats aux examens du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires.
5° A reconnaître aux candidats qui seront nommés à des emplois dans les administration; de l'Etat, le droit à un traitement initial de LE. 6 pour ceux qui seront munis du Certificat d'Aptitude, et de LE. 8 pour ceux qui seront porteurs du Certificat d'Etudes Secondaires, soit partie littéraire, soit partie scientifique, ce qui implique que les porteurs de diplômes des écoles supérieures devront débuter avec un traitement de L.E. 12 au moins ; ce dernier chiffre est d'ailleurs accepté, en principe tout au moins, par les Ministères de la Justice et des Travaux Publics. L'adoption de cette échelle des traitements de début attribués aux porteurs des certificats et diplômes est la condition nécessaire, du succès de tout le plan de réorganisation exposé dans cette note.
6. A adapter les programmes d'études secondaires à la nouvelle organisation et aux buts que l'on s'est proposé d'atteindre par cette réforme.
7. A prendre des mesures transitoires pour que la mise en application de cette nouvelle organisation ne cause aucune perturbation sensible dans le fonctionnement des ecoles secondaires et des écoles supérieures, et n'apporte aucune entrave au recrutement des employés des services publics.
Conclusion
La mise en vigueur de ce plan de réorganisation do l'enseignement secondaire
aura certainement pour conséquence une augmentation très considérable et
très rapide da nombre des élèves dans les écoles secondaires, j Déjà, avec
l'organisation actuelle, le seul fait d'avoir fixé, dans le Règlement
concernant l'admission aux emplois du Gouvernement du 24 juin 1901, à L E.
10 le maximum du traitement auquel peuvent atteindre les employés munis
seulement du Certificat d'Etudes Primaires, a décidé un grand nombre de
jeunes Egyptiens à entrer dans les écoles secondaires, et a permis de
doubler, en quatre années, le nombre des élèves de ces écoles ; on est donc
fondé à oroire que le remplacement, dans un délai fixé du Certificat
d'Etudes Primaires, par le Certificat d'Aptitude délivré après deux années
d'études secondaires, comme titre à l'admission aux emplois du Gouvernement,
déterminera un grand nombre de jeunes gens qui auraient borné leurs études
au coursprimaire, à continuer
Le Ministère croit devoir insister sur la nécessité absolue de créer immédiatement ces nouvelles écoles secondaires ; tout retard sur ce point aurait pour conséquence fatale l'échec de tout le plan de réorganisation, et c'est ici le cas de dire que quand on veut la fin, il faut vouloir les moyens.
La mise à exécution du plan de réorganisation de l'enseignement secondaire entraînera donc nécessairement de nouvelles charges pour le budget de l'État, puisqu'elle nécessitera la créations de nouvelles écoles et l'augmentation du personnel enseignant ; mais les avantages qui résulteront pour le pays de la formation d'un corps d'employés beaucoup plus capables que celui qu'il est possible de recruter actuellement, et le relèvement da niveau des études scientifiques et littéraires dans l'élite de la population du pays, sont si importants, que ces dépenses peuvent être considérées comme les plus productives de celles qu'un pays doit s'imposer.
Le plan de réorganisation de l'enseignement secondaire exposé dans cette note, ainsi que le plan d'études, les Règlements des examens et les programmes adaptés à la nouvelle organisation, ont été approuvés par le Conseil Supérieur, dans sa séance du 28 mai dernier.
En conséquence, le Ministère de l'Instruction Publique a l'honneur de prier le Conseil des Ministres de vouloir bien leur accorder sa haute sanction, pour qu'ils puissent être appliqués à partir de la prochaine année scolaire 1905-1906.
Le Ministre de l'Instruction publique, Signé : H. Fakhry.

OVERWORKED AND WORRIED MEN FIND NEW STRENGTH IN DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
Some men, in the daily routine of employment, over exert themselves bodily; others have to face a constant mental strain beyond their natural strength. In either case the system finally fails to respond, and health gives way. As an eloquent example of the fortifying powers of Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People in such cases, the words of Mr. A. Gillespie, head master of ;he Malton Wesleyan School, appeal to all wage earners.
"As the result of studying hard after school duties were over," he stated to a reporter of the "Yorkshire Herald," "I felt my health completely giving way. I owe it entirely to Dr. Williams Pink Pills that I am now in good health again.
"In November last," he continued, when interviewed at his residence, 74, Castlegate, Malton, "I felt thoroughly run down. I was weary and worn all the day through. On going to my school in the morning I had no spirit and energy to perform my duties, though I am devoted to the work. It was extremely difficult for me to keep awake.
"At first I thought some ordinary tonic would set me right. I tried one, then another, but it was useless. These attempts to shake off the weariness and build up my strength were failures. I confess I grew alarmed at this debilitated state. I really feared I should have to give up work and rest ; then I determined to try Dr.Williams' Pink Pills.
"After one box I felt a distinct improvement and ability to tackle work, and so I grew better. By the end of December I was completely restored in strength and health through Dr. Williams' Pink Pills "
For general breakdown of the nervous system Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are invaluable, for they feed the nerves while purifying and adding to the blood supply. Hence their wonderful success both in cases like Mr. Gillespie's and the most serious diseases of Paralysis and Locomotor Ataxy. In Anæmia, Consumption, Indigestion, Rheumatism, Sciatica, Early Decay, all disorders resulting from poor or bad blood, they are a revelation. Obtainable of all dealers, but watch for the full name, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People (seven words), for the substitutes frequently offered are quite useless. Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Holborn-viaduct, London, will send one box post free for 2s. 9d., or six boxes for 14s. 9d.
Sold in Egypt by all chemists at P.T. 13 per box or P.T. 70 per 6 boxes. Can be bought at the general dépôt : Max Fischer, Cairo, Hotel da Nil St (1st floor), and Alexandria, Rue Stamboul, No. 8.
"Al Moayad" says:-We recently described Morocco as the corn ground between the two stones of the handmill. The great European nations aim at its annexation under one pretext or another, and France and Germany are at daggers drawn over the spoil. France's claim runs thus—"We are the neighbours of Morocco, our frontiers march with the Moroccan border, and we have therefore an absolute right to interfere in Moorish commercial questions and indeed in the internal government of the country, supported as we are by our treaties or agreements with Spain, England, and Italy," Germany retorts : "We have as much right to freedom of trade in Morocco as any other European nation : we have signed no agreements respecting Morocco and therefore do not propose to leave it to France. If France wishes to fight for our exclusion, let her go to war with us ; if on the other hand she prefers peace and an open door we are glad of it."
The Moors are delighted by the quarrel and acclaim the German view that the Sultan is an independent monarch and that Moroccan affairs can only be settled by a general conference of the Powers. They imagine that Germany is a disinterested seeker of their own welfare, but do not realise that Germany really aims at using the Moors to embarrass France. If Germany succeeds she will govern Morocco, or she may bargain with France for another eastern possession and leave the Moors to their fate. The Moorish demand for a conferernce was inspired by Germany, but alas ! the Moors do not realise that the conference when it meets will resemble those that met for the benefit of Turkey and were the cause of the loss of much of the Ottoman Empire and of great ill to all Moslems. The notables called by Saltan Abdul Aziz who have agreed to a conference do not understand what a conference means. They are probably like the Councils of Ismail Pasha who, when he wished for any thing, wrote to the Councils of the notables of Egypt who sanctioned everything. But if these notables are responsible men and have real influence with the Sultan, then their action may prove to be a great benefit to Morocco and may safeguard its liberty.
FOUNDED THE NATIONAL BANK of Egypt, which in its turn four years afterwards fathered the Agricultural Bank of Egypt, empowered by the Khédivial decree to raise five millions sterling on 3 1/2 per cent. bonds under the guarantee of the Egyptian Government, and to put a spoke in the wheel of the local usurers by lending the proceeds to the fellaheen at rates ranging up to 9 per cent, secured by first mortgages on land, the value of which must be at least double the amount of the advance.
DISTINCTIONS.
Sir Ernest Cassel received his K.C.M.G. from Queen Victoria in 1899. Three years later he was made a Knight Commander of the Victorian Order and a Privy Councillor. Perhaps one day he may be raised to the peerage. That his bump of benevolence is largely developed is evidenced inter alia by his £200,000 gift for the consumption cure sanatorium. Certainly there is no individual financier in Europe with a wider influence or a more remarkable record than that of Sir Ernest Cassel. Apart from other achievements in all parts of the world, Sir Ernest was a prominent member of the syndicate which took up the first thirty millions of the British Consol issue during the Boer war. He arranged the big Chinese loan after the war with Japan, while among the undertakings which owe their existence to his initiative is the Central London Railway. The amalgamation of the Maxim Nordenfeldt and the Naval Construction companies into the existing company of Vickers, Sons, and Maxim is another of his achievements.

The value of the trade with the United Kingdom was £135,000, or an increase of over 5. per cent, in 1904, compared with the previous year. The exports to the United Kingdom exceeded those to any other country, their value having been £92,000 ; the next country on the list was Egypt, which took £75,000 worth of exports, then Germany with £32,000 and France followed with £24,000, the value of the exports to other countries being comparatively small. The total value of the imports from the United Kingdom was £43,000, as against £38,000 in 1905, or an increase of over 13 per cent. Turkey sent to Palestine the largest amount of the imports (£170,000) in 1904, then Austria-Hungary (£60,000), and thirdly the United Kingdom (£43,000).
The following figures will show the share taken by the United Kingdom in the export and import trade of Palestine, compared with that of the principal competing countries :—
Export trade United Kingdom, 31 per cent, ; Egypt, 25 percent. ; Germany, 10 per cent. ; France, 8 per cent.
Import trade Turkey, 35 per cent. ; United Kingdom, 9 per cent. ; Russia, 7 per cent. ; British Colonies, 6 per cent. ; France, 6. per cent. ; Germany, 4 per cent.
The value of the exports to the British Colonies was £6,000 in 1904, as against £5,000 in 1903, and of the imports from the British Colonies £32,000, compared with £30,000 in 1903.
In addition to the British steamship companies engaged in the trade of Palestine, large ocean "liners" visit the port of Jaffa, being especially chartered for the conveyance of tourists, who are now accustomed to come to Jerusalem in such numbers that the city, during the early spring and autumn, is becoming a second Cairo in this respect. The result is that money flows into the country, and as the native population grows richer, building material and other necessaries, as well as luxuries, of European manufacture are in demand, and trade with the United Kingdom and the Continent generally is stimulated.
The Jewish Colonies are entirely agricultural, and were founded with the sole object of inducing the Jews who had been compelled to emigrate from certain countries in Europe to become farmers in the land hallowed to them by religious sentiment and national aspirations. The facility, however, with which grapes are grown throughout Palestine induced a large number of colonists to engage in the manufacture of wine, which, it may be said, has become the most important industry of the country.
With regard to cotton-growing in Palestine, the experiments made daring 1904 may be considered, as far as they went, satisfactory, but they were not conducted on a proper system, and the results, therefore, were not as favorable as they might have been. Should the cultivation of cotton eventually prove a success in Palestine, it will, together with the large trade at present carried on in the export of oranges, produce a considerable development in the commercial prosperity of the country.
As regards minerals Palestine may be said to be quite undeveloped, but the Dead Sea is known to contain large quantities of asphalt, and the region around it extensive beds of salt, as well as phosphates, sulphur and even mineral oil. Nothing, however, has been done so far in this direction.
As trade and commerce have been developed of late, and the number of travellers has increased in a very marked degree—which is attested by some of the large Atlantic liners being now frequently chartered for the conveyance of tourists to Palestine—two or three well-known banking companies have found it advantageous to open branch offices in Jerusalem, with sub-agencies at Jaffa. Last year two such banking companies established offices in this city, and at present there are British, French, German and Ottoman banks in Jerusalem, as well as several private banks.
The opening, besides, in Jerusalem, within the last six years, of three foreign post offices, in addition to one already existing and to the Turkish post office, has facilitated correspondence with all parts of the world, and there is now almost a daily arrival and departure of mails from and to Europe.
On the subject of public work there is little to add to what has been said in last year's report. The construction of a new Customhouse at Jaffa—referred to in the report of the Acting British Vice-Consul at that place as being in contemplation—has now been decided upon, and will greatly aid shipping operations. The erection of a disinfecting station to the south west of Jaffa, also mentioned in the same report, will enable passengers to undergo disinfection without being obliged to proceed to Beyrout for that purpose.
This year we decided to try Cyprus for a holiday resort. I decided therefore to make first for the capital of the island—Nicosia—a pretty little town of about 15,000 inhabitants, the seat of the government of the island by a British High Commissioner, for nine months in the year. From June 15 to September the officials all retire into the mountains of Troodos in the southern half of the island (Nicosia being in the east centre) and encamp in the pine forest there in tents. The military who are quartered at Limassol—the only harbour in the island at present worthy of the name, and south of the mountains of Troodos —do likewise, so that the encampment becomes quite a fashionable resort later on.
I want to try to make known this island, which to many- I dare say—up till now has only been connected with Paul and Barnabas, Elymas the sorcerer, and Sergius Paulas. And I recommend any who wish to get a few breezy glimpses of what Cyprus is like to-day, to read part of Rider Haggard's "A Winter Pilgrimage to Palestine and Cyprus." (Longman and Co). Had we come in winter or spring we should undoubtedly have seen the island to greater advantage.
It is unfortunate that no comprehensive guide book has yet been written about Cyprus, and that little is found in English about the varied and historic interest of its abbeys, monasteries, and churches. The wonderful mediæval history of the island and its connection with the Crusades, the Venetians, the Lusignans, and the Turks is almost a forgotten story. And not until one discovers the part that the monks and architects of this island had to play in the Renaissance of art, does the charm of it all begin to take hold of one. Strange, too, that of the thousands every year who come to Egypt and Palestine hardly any turn aside hither as well.
The reason is two fold. First. Cyprus is still a poor island. Its climate has not yet recovered from the blight of Turkish rule. The vast forests of its central plain are swept away. The northern mountains are only just beginning once again to grow untaxed trees, and in the south-east of the island the heights are still quite barren. The former rains are just beginning to return, but it will be long before the water supply is sufficient to make the island throughout "a garden of the Lord." The beautiful mountain breezes blow night and day, almost without an interval at times. The nights are cool in the plain, and quite cold on the mountains even in the height of summer, while in the winter the equable temperature makes it (they say) a lovely winter resort, and English residents find it delightfully healthy.
And then Cyprus is a handicapped island. Its revenue varies from £150,000 to £215,000 a year, but owing to an arrangement made with the wily Turk in 1878, the revenue was assessed too high, and in consequence the surplus was rated at over £90,000 whereas it is seldom over £60,000. Every penny therefore of surplus is taken by the British Government to meet the annual subsidy averaging £30,000 which has to be paid to the diplomatic ruler of the Faithful. During Mr. Chamberlain's "golden age" at the Colonial Office he seems to have voted £80,000 one year towards some irrigation works, in a generous mood, when it was pointed out to him, by those who knew, that none of the £60,000 or 30,000 ever really went to the Sultan's Treasury at all (!) but was held by bondholders before it reached Constantinople, in return for interests on loans that Turkey never pays. And so beautiful Cyprus remains poor, until she can attract more capital and square the Turk.
The next reason for our general ignorance is due to the indifferent service of steamers here, which might be and will be soon remedied, I hear. If only the island could have paid the P. & O. "Isis" and "Osiris" a larger sum for carrying the mails, they could have come on here from Port Said on Wednesdays in 10 to 12 hours. As it is, they lie idle at Port Said until Sunday or Monday every week. But I hear that the Khedivial Line is now taking the place of the Bell Line of steamers, and next summer Anglo-Egyptians will probably come here in numbers.
The island of Cyprus is about the size of Norfolk and Suffolk put together.
It has two mountain ranges running from East to West in the north and south
part of the island. The southern ranges of Troodos I hope to write about
later on when I have explored some of its valleys and heights. Mt Troodos
itself is 6,400 ft. and two other peaks are over 5,000 ft. The northern
ranges do not rise above 2,050 ft and have only one pass at present crossed
by a carriage road, which takes one from Nicosia, the capital, which lies in
the middle of the plain between the two ranges, and Kyrenia, a pretty little
port on the northern shore. There are several other bridle paths over the
mountains which can be ridden by mules. The Cyprus mules are in great
request, many of them being exported to Egypt every year, and numbers were
sent to South Africa daring the war. In consequence, a good mule now fetches
£20 to £25 in the market. The whole of the population in these mountains
speak Greek and are Christians, the proportion of Christians to
The only ports of call for passengers today are Limassol, from which you climb up to the Troodos range, and Larnaca, which is an uninteresting place, affording a simple roadstead for liners and small craft. From Larnaca you drive the 26 miles to Nicosia the capital, and until the old port of Famagusta on the east of the island is dredged and the light railway from Famagusta to Nicosia (30 to 40 miles in length) is finished, communication from end to end of the island will be a tedious process. But the contractors have promised to finish this railway this year and it will probably soon be carried up the plain westwards as far as Morphon. The finishing and deepening of Famagusta harbour will give a really fine approach to the island, within five miles of the ancient Salamis. And once again the Arsinoé of Ptolemy Philadelphus,—so famous as Famagusta in mediæval times daring the crusades, when kings of Cyprus in the 14th century were crowned kings of Jerusalem, so brave to resist the siege of Sultan Selim in 1570, till hunger forced the 500 Italian soldiers and Cypriotes to surrender under Mark Antonio Poragadino to the Turks—will be visited by pilgrims from the West in numbers, not, as formerly, Venetians, Franks, Crusaders, but all lovers of Bible lands.
My second letter will contain an account of the chief features of interest in the eastern half of the island, with some description of Nicosia, Famagusta and Salamis, and the historic scenes and sites upon the slopes of the northern range of hills.
The annual meeting of the Jerusalem and the East Mission was held on Friday week in the Hoare Memorial-hall, Church House, Westminster. The Bishop of Salisbury, president of the council, occupied the chair, and there was a large attendance. The secretary, the Rev. W. Sadler, reported that the income this year would be about the same in amount as last year, but this was owing to the receipt of a legacy of £630, to several generous gifts, and to the contributions from the Colonies, which supported the mission with great liberality. There was still a debt of £1,500 on the mission, but two members of the council had that day promised to give £100 each if the remainder could be raised by an early period. The Bishop in Jerusalem (Dr. G. F. Popham Blyth) said he had not been in England for five years, and during that period a good deal of hard work had been done, with excellent results. The work of the bishopric was of a two fold kind—that connected with the unity of the Churches, and the work of the missions, both medical and educational ; and he was glad to be able to say that in each department progress had been made as far as the funds available would allow. But further assistance was urgently required in order to meet the opportunities of development presented to them, especially in Jerusalem. Funds were much wanted to provide a playground there for the schools. The introduction of manly sports in the schools had proved an admirable means of farthering their work, for in the playground there was no difference of sect or race. He sincerely hoped that the Church at home would largely increase its support of the mission during the next year, tor it was a most sacred cause. Bishop Morley (Archdeacon of Egypt) referred to the astonishing development that was taking place at Khartoum and in the Sudan. Archdeacon Potter, of Cyprus, gave an account of the progress made by the mission in that island, after which Mrs. Salmon, who has charge of the mission nursing hospital at Jerusalem, set forth the special claims of that work to support, and said that one of their greatest and most immediate wants was a lady doctor.

We reached Katranéh station at about 7 a.m., and forty minutes being allowed us, all the passengers trooped out to get water, wash, or cook. There was nothing in the least remarkable about Kafranéh, which consists of a few buildings and tents with a water tower dumped down in the midst of an "illimitable veldt."
A dry wadi ran past the station fall of stones and the yellow flowers of a wild sage that grows commonly in the Mariout country : the water tower was solidly built and Turkish and French inscriptions in honor of the Sultan decorated its iron tank. The people visible were all soldiers employed on the line and I saw no signs of any village.
We got good water at Katranéh, and I breakfasted with the khaki-clad Turkish officer, who was able to talk French—of a sort—and seemed a good hearted fellow. He certainly gave three of the privates, who were, of course, without anything but bread, a good share of his breakfast, and the grateful soldiers having finished their meal, cleaned up our plates and brought us plenty of water. Washing on the line was a cold and melancholy business, and I was not sorry when the train started for Qala'at el Hasa. The next three hours of the journey were not marked by any particular incident. The country gradually became barer; great patches of sand and gravel alternated with the grass, which was far more stunted here than near Amman, and the sun grew unpleasantly hot. At last, about forty minutes south of Qala'at el Hasa, we reached a great defile down which we wound steadily, the grass and scrub disappearing completely, while the temperature rose inordinately to my great disgust. At the foot of the incline were masses of rocks and steep ravines looking uncommonly like the gullies of the Mokattam hills. Rounded heights rose on each side of the line, utterly bare and curiously blackened. The stone appeared to have darkened through weathering and the prevalence of black in the landscape gave the desert a very uncanny look.
Beyond the incline lay the station of Jurf-el- Derwish. A water tower was being completed here near a deep wadi, which was crossed by a very solid and well-built bridge. We stopped by the station hut and the doctor and I found a Frenchman sitting there who promptly gave us brandy and coffee and bemoaned the monotony of the life he led. I was inclined to sympathise with him, for however much a man may appreciate solitude and the desert air, six months' exile among rocks and thorn bushes in a region where the days are hot and the nights bitterly cold and there are no people, books or comforts is enough to take the heart out of any man but a confirmed anchorite. In a month or two release would come and the Frenchman would be stationed at Deraa, of which he spoke as one would speak of Paris or Vienna. Every thing, I suppose, is relative.
The bugle blew and we left the station, where a pet goat alternately nuzzled and batted the exile and some ducks swam in a tub, and fled to the morning train. The doctor barked his shins in trying to get on board and called the "chef du train" a—but perhaps I had better not give the Turkish word which has the same meaning as the epithet employed in Egypt. Then we rolled and bumped for a long way through a region where all the stones in the world seemed to have been flung. The hills east of the line soon died down and gave place to a black plain that stretched for miles beside the railway and gave a marvellous impression of desolation and spaciousness. It was absolutely flat and barren, but for a few tufts of camel thorn ; only the horizon was caught up by the mirage into shimmering black waves that rose and vanished. Far away a grey peak towered up, as it seemed, from the other side of the sky line, the only thing that did not move in the blurred and wavering background. I felt that this was the end of our world, the beginning of No man's land.
Seeing me staring at the plain the doctor told me that it extended for three days' march, and was called Ard-es-Sawan and that the high mountain was called Ras el Tobeit. The maps all place Ras-el-Tobeit further south, but perhaps the name is given to a chain of which I could only see one peak. He told me that beyond this mountain were Bedouins called Sherart, who wandered north for pasture to the steppes during part of the year. He had no more to say of them but that they were thieves and sons of unmentionable persons.
Then a soldier said, "Here is Aneiza" and we pulled up at a station beside a
great cistern where the Romans or the Nabataeans had stored their water. It
was dry now, and the western wall had fallen on to the floor in several
places. Once again we started and the men began to take up their packs and
baskets and goulebs and to talk of Ma'ân. We crossed more ravines, white
streaks in the black desert, on the stone bridges that Meissner had designed
so well, up a long bare incline, and then down into an open plain dotted
with white tents, that were only seen for seconds and then vanished in
whirls of dust

The forthcoming sale of Dickens' MSS. is an event of note for those who treasure this class of relics. What most of us would appreciate even more, however, would be to hear the voice of the dead master reading his own works. Unfortunately, he never spoke into a phonograph or a gramophone. Browning did, and his tones may be heard to-day ; and contemporary notabilities are coming to view the practice with favor. The day will come when possibly every eminent man will leave a record of his voice, as carefully as he now leaves his will. It would have been interesting to hear the two styles of Dickens. For a long time, when he came to one of Sam Weller's speeches, he seemed overcome with diffidence. A friend pointed out to him that these passages should be enunciated with more dash and spirit. Dickens said nothing, but the friend, hearing him later, noted with pleasure that the hint had been accepted, and the sallies produced with the spirit in which they were written ; and in congratulating him remarked that he had always understood that he (Dickens) would never accept advice. "On the contrary," said Dickens, calmly, "I am always glad to be told if I am wrong, but up to the present I never have been wrong."

Hon. F. Y. Fitzpatrick, Congressman from Ketucky, writes from the National Hotel, Washington, D. C., as follows:
"At the solicitation of a friend I used your Peruna and can cheerfully recommend your remedy to anyone suffering with catarah or who needs a good tonic." —F. Y. Fitzpatrick.
Peruna is the remedy for catarrh. Almost everybody knows that by heresay and thousands know it by experience.
What can be cured in the beginning in a week or two by using Peruna, if allowed to become chronic, may require months of faithful treatment. You had better take Peruna now for by and by you may be obliged to take it for some time la order to get well. Now the warm, dry weather will assist in your cure. You are not liable to catch fresh cold and delay your cure.
Hundreds of men of dignity and prominence from all over the United States endorse Peruna.
No other remedy receives such convincing testimonials. Send for free book of testimonials.
If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
Address Dr. Hartman, president of Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O.
For special directions everyone should read "The Ills of Life," a copy of which surrounds each bottle. Peruna is for sale by all chemists and druggists at five shillings per bottle or six bottles for twenty-five shillingt.
Those wishing direct correspondence with Dr. Hartman and can wait the necessary delay in receiving a reply should address Dr. S. B. Hart- man, Columbus, Ohio, U.S.A.

Dernièrement un habitant d'Assiout se trouvant à la grande gare du Caire et voulant pénétrer sur la plate-forme dut payer cinq millièmes, comme tout le monde.
De retour chez lui, il intenta un procès àl'administration des Chemins de fer l'accusant d'avoir outrepassé ses droits en prélevant une taxe de cinq millièmes.
Comme il s'agit d'une administration d'Etat, cette taxe doit légalement prendre le nom d'impôt, et pour établir un nouvel impôt, le gouvernement doit le faire au moyen d'un décret. Or, en l'espèce, aucun décret n'ayant été rendu, il s'agit donc d'un impôt abusif dont on ne saurait frapper un Egyptien. Et le demandeur, justifiant de sa qualité d'Egyptien, réclama la restitution des cinq millièmes, plus une indemnité.
Le tribunal d'Assiout admettant la thèse du demandeur et faisant droit à sa réclamation, a bel et bien condamné l'administration des Chemins de fer à restituer les cinq millièmes indûment perdus et à payer quatre cents piastres d'indemnité.
Dans l'"Officiel" du 3 a paru le décret de constitution d'une société anonyme
sous le nom de "Comptoir Financier et Commercial d'Egypte" composée de MM.
La Société a pour objet toutes opérations financières ou commerciales aussi bien sur les marchés d'Egypte que sur les marchés étrangers.
Parmi ces opérations figure en premier lieu le "Report" qui mérite d'attirer l'attention. En effet, dans une place aussi importante que celle d'Egypte, tant par sa nature que par le nombre des transactions, une banque de reports est indispensable, et le besoin s'en est fait sentir à tel point ces derniers temps que c'est à son absence que l'on attribue la plupart des crises périodiques de notre marché.
Est-ce à dire que le report n'ait jamais été pratiqué sur notre place ? Non. Mais ce genre d'opérations, tel qu'il est compris ici, ne mérite pas le nom de report ; c'est une exploitation méthodique et sans merci des malheureux qui y ont recours.
Que les affaires de report traitées sur une vaste échelle n'aient pu jusqu'ici tenter aucun de nos établissements financiers, cela se conçoit jusqu'à un certain point, vu l'extrême complexité des affaires que les Banques ont déjà à traiter en Egypte. Aussi un établissement qui consacrerait son activité à cette branche jasqu'ici inexploitée, quoique très lucrative, est-il assuré du plus brillant succès. Peut-être même les maisons rivales s'empresseront-elles de suivre son exemple et une concurrence salutaire s'établira pour le plus grand profit du public.

Remarques
(De Midi à 1h. p.m.)
Cotons.—L'avant-bourse de Liverpool est venae consolider les idées de hausse de la place et la clôture s'est faite aux cours les plus élevés pratiqués dans la matinée. Aujour- d'ui l'Amérique étant fermée, il n'y aura rien d'extraordinaire à attendre du dehors, mais suivant les dépêches de New-York, il y aura une continuation de la hausse, et même Price parle de 12 à 14 cents sous peu. Tout est possible, mais un peu de prudence est à conseiller.
Graines de coton.—Elle a profité des dispositions générales du marché et de la hausse da disponible et en clôture la tendance était très ferme.
Fèves.—Sans affaires.
Bourse Khédiviale, le 4 juillet 1905.
Parisians are extremely loth to leave their city. There was a time when, after the Grand Prix, the season was at an end. But year after year the date of going to the country or the seaside is being put off, and this year the reluctance of fashionable people to make a move is more marked than ever. Naturally, the Bois de Boulogne and the little island of Puteaux are more patronised than the boulevards or the Rue de la Paix during the afternoon, but when evening comes the city restaurants and those theatres which remain open are still well filled. A favourite amusement with the wealthy is to go by motor car to Versailles or Saint Germain for breakfast, return to Paris in time for the five o'clock tea, and then wind up the evening at the fête of Neuilly, or in one of the well-known establishments at Montmartre.
Nominally the Paris theatres are closed. Here and there, however, a few of the lesser houses keep open their doors. Holiday fare is quite special to itself. Suddenly the Vaudeville awoke from its summer sleep the other day, and presented a play with the title "Le Rois Américains." It was the very drollest conception of American life. What the writer did not know of American life would fill the Bibliothèque Nationale. It is the more amusing as the play is intended for New York ! Elsewhere, at the Grand Guignol, the summer play which one would expect to be light and airy is, on the contrary, a sort of theatrical bouille-abaisse. There is plenty of garlic in the latest piece, "La Masquerade Interrompue," founded on a story of Edgar Allan Poe. A ball is in progress and, suddenly, among the guests surges the red figure of the plague. The host touches him upon the shoulder. He turns and reveals a face most hideous, marked with the dreadful disease. The plague in the ball-room is a fit accompaniment to murder in the night nursery—the dénouement of one of the other plays on the bill.
Most of the Paris papers deal with the strained state of affairs between France and Germany in a tone of commendable moderation and restraint, "La Patrie" being one of the few which adopts a Chauvinistic attitude. But its efforts seem chiefly devoted to making bad blood between England and France, for what purpose except to injure the Government it is difficult to imagine. With regard to the great number of Germans resident in Paris, there was a report a few days ago that the Reservists had been recalled to Germany ; and this was looked upon as an infallible sign of coming war. But the "Patrie" has been inquiring at the great steamship offices, and learns that the Norddeutacher-Lloyd and other companies are doing just as much business as ever, and are evidently under no apprehensions. A representative of the company told a reporter that Germany had too much to lose by going to war, and that no one believed in war, as it would mean the ruin of the great German Trans-atlantic companies for the sole benefit of England. The other companies interviewed made similar replies, and the "Patrie, no doubt, sees in this some sort of justification for its absurd theory that England is poshing France into war with Germany. At any rate, one thing is certain, and that is that the French people do not desire war, though they suspect very strongly that the Kaiser is determined to humiliate France once again.
The "Bess's o' th' Barn" have played their way straight into the heart of France. Their visit is the "Entente Cordiale" set to music, the crochets and quavers of a good understanding. There have been a number of delightful incidents connected with this descent of Lancashire upon the friendly shores of the Seine. At the Tuileries yesterday, the band's arrival was timed to a nicety. A review of the military societies was going on under the eye of the President of the Republic. The band played the "Marseillaise,'' and M. Loubet responded by asking for the British National Anthem. Whilst it was being given the soldiers presented arms—a pretty and unrehearsed compliment to the land of the musicians.
Enthusiasm reached fever-heat when the "Bess's" sounded out the Russian Hymn, which was heaping compliment upon compliment. The President expressed his great gratification at the performance of the band, and shook hands with the organiser of the visit Mr. J. H Iles and Mr. MacNiell. The evening scene in the same gardens, when the band gave a popular concert, was as remarkable as any in the history of Franco-English amity. The crowd seemed as if they would carry these musical Lancashire lads bodily away.
The band in its blue and gold, which has so impressed the Parisian,
penetrated to the Bois this afternoon, and lunched in the Café Chinois.
Amongst the representative assembly was Sir Henry Austin Lee, of the
Embassy. In the coffee state of digestion, a representative of the Minister
of Public Instruction uprose, and pinned upon the lapel of Mr. Alexander
Owen, the leader of the band, the violet riband of the Officer of Public
Instruction. It was an affecting moment when the typical French official
embraced the newly decorated on both cheeks. The band cheered to the echo in
true Lancashire style ; sang " For he's a jolly good fellow' until the
rafters trembled, and the waiters were moved to wonderment and admiration,
and called loudly for a speech. The hero of the hour delivered himself of a
short oration, in which, pointing to the "palme, " he said they
One by one the picturesque features of the army disappear. The old Empire uniforms are no more save in the special regiments of the Republican Guard, and the "Vivandière," the heroine of so many songs, has been improved away. Now the drums are threatened—nay, inexorably condemned. Their solemn yet exhilarating rolling will no longer be heard beating to arms. They have been denounced as useless by the highest military authority. The theory was that afar off you might distinguishthe roll of one regiment's drums from another but perhaps the military ear is deficient in musicianly distinctions, for the fact remains that the majority of officers could never tell one note from the next. And so the drums are to go. But there is a subtler reason for their going. It takes a long time to complete the perfect drummer. Three years is all too short ; two years an impossible time. And so because the "tapin'' cannot tap scientifically and militarily is reason why he should not tap at all.
A French scientist, Dr. Carnot, has been experimenting with different poisons upon guinea-pigs. Contrary to popular belief, he finds that certain poisons are fattening. Arsenic, phosphorus, and alcohol are decidedly stimulating. A guinea-pig weighing 1lb. 1oz., which was given a milligramme of arsenic a day, doubled its weight in four months. Phosphorus administered in small doses produced a most gratifying effect, rendering the animal fat and sleek in a short space of time. Even lead, morphine, and strychnine—dangerous agents when taken in excess—gave gratifying results when taken in small doses daily. It appears that mankind also thrives on poisons. The best medicines are full of them, and sick people leave their beds well and strong alter being dosed with strong prescriptions of poison.
An extraordinary find has been made by a party of workmen belonging to the administration of the postal and telegraphic service. They were engaged in digging up a part of the Boulevard Ney, which runs alongside the Northern Railway line, in order to lay down telephonic communication. Suddenly one of the workmen, who had excavated to a depth of about six inches, laid bare a parcel covered with grey paper, and carefully tied up with twine. It is well that the point of his pick did not strike the parcel, because when his companions opened it, it was found to contain over four pounds of dynamite cartridges. The local commissary of police was at once informed, and the contents of the parcel taken to the Municipal laboratory. The detective service is now on the look-out for the person or persons who hid so dangerousa parcel in so suspicious a place.
With a view to testing the time required by a postcard to go the round of the world, and to ascertain also the route which the card should take to accomplish its journey in the least possible number of hours, an interesting experiment in the form of a competition is being made in Paris. At three o'clock this afternoon, at the Central Post Office, and in the presence of a number of witnesses, 470 postcards, sent by an equal number of competitors who had beforehand secured the services of correspondents in America and the Fast East, were handed in after examination by and on the certificateof a sheriff's officer. Some will go by the Havre route, others by Marseilles, by Cherbourg, by Southampton. After a few brief resting-places, necessitated by the time taken by the correspondents in the United States or in Asia to re-post them, the postcards will return to Paris, when the sender of the one that arrives first will receive a prize of money.
M. Adrien Veber, deputy of the Seine, is responsible for the statement that Paris does not possess a municipal debt which cannot in process of time, and in the natural course of events, be wiped off. A third of the budget, amounting to £4,000,000, is annually given over to the payment and settlement of her debt of £200,000,000, which, although an enormous liability, is much inferior to the value of the city's present possessions. These, naturally, will greatly increase in value during the near future, while the debt itself is being gradually diminished. There will be no other municipal loans, except such as the city guarantees, the Metropolitan Railway extension and the gas works, for instance, which are excellent securities both for the shareholders and the budget. This excellent condition of affairs, says M. Veber, is entirely due to the traditions of independent prudence and foresight with which universal suffrage has endowed the civic council.
The Shah of Persia, now at Contrexeville had a trifling misadventure on arriving in France. His Majesty expressed a wish to test the telephone, and, opening the address book at random, rang up a wealthy lacemaker at Mirecourt, some miles from Contrexeville. The conversation was as follows : "Are you there ? What sort of weather are you having in Mire- court ? "What the dickens is that to you ?Is that all you rang me up for ? " "My dear sir, don't suppose I desire to disturb you. But the fact is, I am the Shah of Persia. " "Oh, are you indeed ! Tell that to another, and do me the favor of leaving me to my business, and go caterwauling elsewhere." Whereupon the connection was cut off. Unluckily, his Majesty is acquainted with French enough to know that "chat" means cat, and is pronounced exactly like Shah.

A £50 necklace has just been the cause of considerable excitement in a theatre at Montmartre. It had been stolen by a young butcher from a woman who was his customer, and later it was recognised by the loser on the neck of a girl who sat near her at the performance. Accused of wearing things that did not belong to her, the girl stated before the Commissary of Police that the necklace was a present from her friend, the Baron de Monte- gallina. The nobleman in question was at once sent for, and turned out to be the butcher, whose thieving proclivities had got the better of his honesty. The Commissary, after a rigor- rous cross-examination, learned from the butcher's lips that he had stolen the necklace and assumed the title of Baron in order to win the affection of a young lady who, other wise, would have had nothing to do with him. He is now in the lock-up, awaiting his trial.
Aroused to anger by the long and growing series of crimes that take place in their midst, the peaceful population of Paris are up in arms against malefactors of every description. A person whose offence was more an individual than a social one, had this brought home to him yesterday afternoon. In the crowded thoroughfare of the Faubourg Montmartre shortly after the hour of the midday meal, the cry was heard : "Catch the thief !" A man, hotly pursued by several policemen, was seen to make his way in and out of the line of cabs, omnibuses, cycles, and automobiles, with which the Faubourg was blocked. The cry being repeated by his pursuers, a number of citizens —more than 200—joined in the chase. The human quarry was at length caught in a house in which, driven to bay, he had taken refuge, and but for the police he would have suffered at the hands of his captors. His offence, it transpired, was that he had eaten a hearty meal in a restaurant, and taken to his heels when the time came for paying.
To leave prison and re enter it on the same day, in the meantime to twice attempt to drown herself, is the record achieved by an old Paris vagabond. Mother "Perraud," as she is called, is a beggar by profession, and a drunkard by habit. After working out her twenty-third condemnation for drunkenness and disorderly conduct, she said "Au revoir" to St. Lazare prison yesterday morning, and made with haste for her favorite tavern. There she found her nine-year-old daughter, whom she takes with her on begging expeditions, when she appeals to the charity of the wealthy as "a poor mother of a large family without work." This time the child refused to go with her. Wounded in her tenderest affections. Mother "Per- raud" went off and threw herself into the Seine, out of which she was fished with difficulty. Finding she could not drown in water, she returned to the tavern and to a more familiar liquid, of which she drank a large number of litres. She was just about to succumb to the influence of the wine when the idea struck her that it would be a good plan to insult a policeman. She did so, and got locked up.
M. Vladan Georgevitch, for three years Servian Premier, is about to publish a work entitled "Last Days of a Dynasty," which throws many new and sometimes lurid lights not only on recent chapters in Servian history, but on Central European policy, notably disposing authoritatively of the long-accepted myth of an Austro-Russian pact concerning the Balkans.
On October 25, 1898, M. Georgevitch interviewed Count Goluchowski, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, unofficially, and reported as follows to King Alexander :—
'Sir,—I had the honor to be received in a most friendly manner by Count Goluchowski. He said, 'As long as Servia remains what it now is, an element of peace and order in the Balkan Peninsula, you will never be attacked by any Great Power.' "
A STUPID INVENTION.
After saying that it was a matter of the first importance that King Alexander should marry and found a dynasty, Count Goluchowski made the following remarkable statement "Servia has only one enemy, and that is neither Austria nor Russia. Everything that has been said or written about Austria's having come to an agreement with Russia regarding their spheres of influence in the Balkans is a stupid invention. The longer the frontiers are between two States the greater is the friction between them. The frontier between us and Russia is already too long for us to want to stretch it longer. As for defining our respective spheres of interest, however well we two might be pleased to do so, it is impossible without the consent of other parties likewise interested in the matter. Our policy consists in seeing that the Balkan States remain truly independent and well-governed States, with which we can live on good neighbourly terms. We in Austria-Hungary claim no influence over Servia, but neither can we suffer any other great Power to interfere in her internal affairs. Consequently Servia has nothing to fear either from Russia or Austria."
RUSSIA'S HANDS TIED BY CRETE.
When M. Georgevitch touched on the subject of the Albanian excesses and inquired if Servia could reckon on the support of the Great Powers to back up her complaints at Constantinople, Goluchowski interrupted him with "Anything but that." At no price. Russia took on herself to force Prince George on Crete as Governor. To carry this through successfully she is compelled to lend a hand to the Porte in other directions. If Servia now calls on the Great Powers to interfere in this question it is an absolute certainty that Russia will be the first to declare that it is not worth while to create a Macedonian question merely on account of a few ordinary acts of pillage by Albanians."
It is especially curious to read these opinions of Count Goluchowski in 1894 by the light of later history.
Other chapters of the book dealing with the inner life of the Belgrade Court and with King Alexander's marriage will be read with special interest.
KING MILAN AND QUEEN DRAGA.
On learning of the proposed union King Milan wrote to his son as follows : "Dear son, with the best of goodwill I cannot give my consent to the impossible marriage yon contemplate. You must be aware that by what you are doing you are ruining Servia. Our dynasty has gone through many dangers, and survived all, but this is such a terrible blow that you can never recover from it. If, however, your resolve is as you say unalterable, nothing remains for me but to pray to God for my country. I shall be the first to congratulate the Government which hunts you out of Servia after such a mad act.—Your father Milan."
Later on there is a story that King Milan and Alexander being invited to dinner at the German Legation, and Milan learning that Mlle. Draga Maschin was likely to be present, left his carriage in the middle of the street, and only consented to accompany his son on condition of a promise made before the servants that it should be the last time he should ever be made to sit in the same room with her.
Immediately after rising from the table, Milan withdrew to the smoking-room and refused to speak to anybody.
From this day forth Milan believed that Alexander, seeing an insuperable obstacle to his marriage in his father, planned his death, and the attempt on his life at Belgrade he attributed to his son.
When on his deathbed in Vienna, Milan was asked by M. Georgevitch what should be done with all his private and State papers, he answered briefly that he had burned them all a few days previously.
On the Minister crying out, "How could your Majesty burn the most important documents for Servian history ?" the dying monarch replied : "For whom, then, should that history be written ? For a people that freely accepted Draga Maschin as Queen ? They are not worthy of it."
