The last Russian force at Saghalien has been isolated to the south-east of Alexandrovsk and its submission is imminent. This makes the Japanese virtual masters of the whole island.

We are informed that on Thursday a dog, believed to be mad, bit a girl of 13, named Maria Sayed Hassan, in the leg. The father of the child, a British subject, appears to have objected to the sug- gestion made by the police that she should be immediately taken to hospital for treatment The police communicated with the British Consulate, which immediately informed the father that he must at once comply with the proposal of the police, and allow his daughter to be treated.
We are informed that Mustafa Efiendi Nafih, the editor of a Tantah contemporary, was recently arrested at Beyrout, where he had arrived en route for the Lebanon. Our unfortunate confrère was accused of (1) agitating for the revival of the Arab Caliphate; (2) being an agent of the Young Turkish Party, and we have no doubt that, had the Ottoman authorities and their informer in Egypt only thought of it, he would have been accused of blasphemy against the Prophet or of a plot to steal the Black Stone itself After keeping their prisoner in an uncomfortable gaol for some days, the police, being unable to discover any proof of his complicity in any plot, let him go free with a warning to be very careful in future.

The Customs returns for June, 1905, have just been published. The statistics of the im- ports and exports recorded at the five custom- houses of Alexandria, Port Said, Suez, Da- mietta, and Kosseir, show that the total value of the imports of last month amounted to L.E. 1,452,898, against L E. 1,427,029 in the corresponding month of the previous year, while the export totals showed a very large increase, L.E. 1,316,611 against L.E. 998,088 in 1904, an increase of L.E. 318,693.
Taking the figures for the first six months of the present year we find that the total value of the imports reached L.E. 9,427,286, against L.E. 8,680,095 during the corresponding months of 1904, showing the large increase of L.E. 747,191. This increase is more than balanced by the falling off in exports, the figures for the first half of the present year being L.E. 9,609,952, against L.E. 11,055,749 in the first half of 1904, a difference of L.E. 1,445,797 in favor of the corresponding period of the past year.
British imports, in which we include imports from the Mediterranean possessions of Great Britain, amount to L.E. 506,446, including tobacco, against L.E. 452,275 in June, 1904, giving the gratifying increase of L.E. 54,171, while the exports amount to L.E. 512,485 in value, against L.E. 470,650 in June, 1904. During the first six months, January to June inclusive, of 1905, imports from Great Britain reached a total value of L.E. 8,234,204, an increase of L.E. 235,132 on the figures for the corresponding period in 1904, but the decrease in exports to Great Britain is even more marked, amounting as it does to L.E. 701,342. In comparing the import figures of the various Powers which have important commercial relations with Egypt we notice a considerable increase in British imports both during the past month and in the first six months of the year. As for the other Powers, their import figures show a slight decrease for June, 1905, in the case of Germany, Aus- tria-Hungary, Russia, and Turkey, an increase of over 12% in the case of Italy, and slightly improved figures for America, Belgium, France, and Greece. For the first six months of the year imports showed increases in almost every case, the figures for France, L.E. 1,025,631 against L.E. 849,939 in the period January 1— June 30, 1904, showing the most remarkable growth.
The increase of exports daring the past month is well marked in the case of England (+ LE. 41.784). Germany (+L.E. 59,556), France, America, and Austria-Hungary. Recent events in the Black Sea have no doubt caused the decrease in Russian exports and imports in June. In the first six months of 1905 England comes first in the export list, followed by Germany and France, in the order given, but Turkey is the only country having important commercial relations with Egypt, the exports to which during the above period of 1905 exceed those of the corresponding period of 1904.
Although nothing definite has been decided with regard to the rumored amalgamation of the Anglo-American Nile Steamer and Hotel Company with the Hamburg-Amerika Line, we have reason to believe that there is every probability that the fusion will be carried through.
The former company was approached by the latter on the subject in May last, and it was arranged that the directors of the two com- panies should meet either in Paris or Hamburg. So far, however, no report of any meeting has as yet reached Cairo. All the Anglo-American directors are at present absent in Europe.
A Ras el Bar correspondent writes : —The steamer, which is under contract to carry the mails, was last year timed to leave Ras el-Bar at 11 a.m., reaching Damietta a little after 12 noon. This year the steamer leaves Ras el-Bar at 8 a.m., reaches Damietta a little after 9, and passengers who intend leaving for Cairo, Alexandria, and other places have to wait till 1.25 p.m., the time the first train leaves after 7 a.m. On enquiry it will be found that the Governor of Damietta has made an arrangement with the owner of the steamer to leave Ras el-Bar at 8 a.m. (He is staying there with his family and he has to be at his Damietta office at 9 a.m.) The consequence is that the public is put to great inconvenience.

Yesterday, the British steamer Whampca, chartered by the Russian authorities as a hospital ship, arrived from the East, having on board 160 sick and wounded. The whole of this number were in various stages of insanity, some dangerous and in cells, others with merely slight attacks of mental aberration. On the upper deck were built two large steel wire cages, in which, quite open as they were to the gaze of the curious, could be counted between 60 and 70 poor wretches hanging on to the bars and staring at passing boats. Not one of these men but appeared to have been wounded, and I understand they had all been attacked with a severe form of fever, brought on by starvation and innumerable privations, which was the cause of their insanity. The vessel sailed for the Black Sea at 10 p.m.
The morning after the Macedonia had been shifted to the petroleum basin, two selected experts were called to hold a survey and advise as to the best method of dealing with the fire on board. The gentlemen ap- pointed were Comm. Vaquier, of the M. M. Company here, and an engineer. These gentlemen at once advised that the hatches should be opened and that next day the coal be discharged. The general idea held here was that this advice was, to say the least, premature and hardly in agreement with previous like experiences of fires in coal cargoes. The usual method is to close up everything and inject steam or carbonic acid gas, both-of which processes have had consi- derable success in Port Said and elsewhere. The result amply bore out the opinion of many, for by yesterday afternoon clouds of smoke were pouring out of the hatchway, rendering discharge impossible, and soon after wards things got so bad, that the fire, fed as it had been by fresh air since the pre- vious day, had gained such a hold that the only way left to save the ship was to flood the hold. Fortunately, the Canal Com- pany had taken promotions to have the jumps alongside, and these soon flooded the hold and thus averted what night have proved a terrible disaster. The vessel is now quiet and lieing on the bottom, her deck line well above water. The water is being pumped out.
We understand that, in connection with the concession recently granted to the Cairo Tram- way Company for the extension of their lines, the company will contribute £40,000 towards the cost of construction of the three new Nile bridges, and that an extension of five years has been granted to the company. As we announced yesterday, the Tramway Company have informed the Ministry of Public Works that it is their intention to provide first class cars on all their lines from January 1, 1906. Such an innovation has long been wished for in Cairo, and its necessity has been greatly felt by a large number of Cairo residents. At the present time, first-class cars are only provided on the line which runs from Kasr el-Nil to the Pyramids, and though on other lines one does occasionally meet with compartments reserved for those desirous of travelling first- class, these are small, and the heat in them is so excessive, that it often deters a would- be passenger from entering them.
We are unaware of the design upon which these new cars are to be modelled, but the principal point to which attention should be paid as regards the comfort of passengers is that there should be a free circulation of air, so that the car may be kept compara- tively cool. If this be the case, if the cars are comfortable and are kept clean, there is but little doubt that they will be well- patronised and that the company will be well repaid for the extra expenditure. Whilst we are writing on the subject of Cairo tramcars we might point out the necessity for the creation of a bye-law by which somebody would be held responsible for the over-crowding of the trams. The Cairo trams are allowed to become overcrowded to a most dangerous extent,and numbers of people can often be seen standing on the footboard, clinging to any support which they can find. The dislodging of a person in such a position by a sudden jerk is very possible and serious injury might follow. In fact, quite recently a young man travelling on the footboard of a Rod-el-Farag car fell off and was killed, and there are every day many chances of a repetition of such a case. A tram- car should be licensed to hold a certain number of people, as in Europe, and the conductor who is responsible for seeing that this number is not exceeded should be liable to severe punish- ment for any infringement.

As I wired you this forenoon, the Russian auxiliary cruiser Kuban arrived at Suet this morning from the Far Bast, and will enter the Canal at 10 o'clock this evening for Liban. This huge vessel, formerly a Hamburg-Amerika passenger steamer, has three funnels with two low masts, and is fitted with wireless appara- tus. She flies the naval flag and pennant She carries several quick-firing guns, similar to those fitted to other auxiliary cruisers. Her last victim was the British India steamer Fazilka, which was stopped by her in the Red Sea, south of Daedalus lighthouse, last Tues- day morning. Her papers were overhauled and on being found in order the vessel was released. The Fazilka sailed from Suez Last Saturday bound to Aden, Colombo, Madras, and Calcutta with general cargo and passengers.
The S.S. City of Manchester, which was damaged in the Canal last week, has been tem- porarily repaired at Suez, and sailed last Thursday for Calcutta, where the repairs will be completed in dry-dock. She had to discharge from her foreholds about 600 tons of general cargo into lighters, which was put back before she sailed.
This morning the body of a native in a state of decomposition was found hanging from a tree in the cemetery. An enquiry has been opened. It is presumed that the man committed suicide.
We regret to announce the death, which occurred last night, of Mr. E. D. J. Dutilh, conservator of the numismatic section of the Greco-Roman Museum at Alexandria.
Mr. Dutilh was of Dutch birth and possessed to the full the energetic qualities and the Scrupulous honesty and sense of duty of his race. After being for some time Consul General of the Netherlands at Cairo, he dedicated his life to numismatic studies, entered the Ghizeh Museum, and was transferred to Alexandria in 1896. Thanks to his efforts the Alexandria Museum contains a first-class collection of the Ptolemaic end Roman coinage of Egypt, which ranks among the richest collec- tions of the kind in the world. Mr. Dutilh published an extraordinary number of brochures on his favorite study, in all of which he dis- placed a wide erudition and a remarkable diligence, happily combined with a no less admirable modesty, and was at all times ready to give information as to the dates, histories or values of coins submitted to him by en- quirers. He was an honorary member of the Egyptian Institute and corresponding member of a number of European numismatic societies. He was a contributor to the "Journal In- ternational de de Numismatique," published by Svoronos of Athens, to the "Revue Beige de Numismatique", the "Revista numismatica Italiana," the "Bulletin de l'Institut Egyptien," and the "Bulletin de la Société Archaeologique d'Alexandrie." He was 69 years old at the time of his death. His funeral takes place this afternoon at 5 o'clock.
We also regret to announce the death of Mme. Dimitri Bey Bissara, who died yesterday in her 65th year. The funeral of deceased will take place at 5 p.m. to-day.

Mr. Thurston bowled one wide.
L'animation va croissant sur notre marché, grâce à l'abondance du numéraire en Europe et aux facilités que font les banques établies récemment en Egypte, grâce aussi à la fermeté du coton. A moins d'évènements imprévus, tout fait dono prévoir que nous aurons une saison d'été aussi bien remplie que l'an passé, quoique plus surchargée.
le chiffre d'affaires a été considérable, sur- tout en National Bank ancienne et nouvelle émission, en Banque d'Athènes, en Hôtels et en Daïra.
On donne comme raison de la sou- daine de la National Bank le prochain lance- ment de la Banque Nationale d'Abyssinie dont l'émission serait confiée à la National et dont on fixe la répartition sur la base de 1 action Abyssine contre 6 actions National ; il ne faut cependant accepter ces données qu'avec la plus extrème réserve, attendu que les groupes français et italien sont respectivement inté- ressés pour on quart dans l'affaire. Tout ce qu'on peut dire, c'est qu'il se présente déjà des acheteurs de Banque d'Abyssinie à 1 £ de prime ; mais il n'a pu être traité aucune affaire dans l'incertitude où l'on est encore de la date de l'émission et du nombre d'actions offertes en souscription au public égyptien. Il nous revient en dernière heure que la Banque d'A- byssinie a été traitée à £ 8 de prime hors cor- beills.
Influencé par cette prochaine émission, le cours de la National Bank est monté graduel- lement de 26 1/2. à 27 13/32, cours auquel elle clôture.
La Nouvelle a exactement suivi les mêmes fluctuations que l'Ancienne. Les spéculateurs semblent même la préférer pour les raisons déjà citées.
En Agricole on a fluctué durant tonte la semaine entre 13 15/16 et 14 pour finir ven- deurs à ce dernier prix. La Fondateur est de- mandée à 1035.
De 820 au débat les actions Crédit Foncier fléchissent à 815 pour rebondir presque aussi- tôt à 825 1/2. On clôture à 824. Il va suis dire que le groupe du Foncier emploiera tous ses efforts à pousser les cours plus haut pour pré- parer un succès à la prochaine émission d'ac- tions nouvelles à 810. Selon las informations recues ces jours derniers, l'émission des obliga- tions 3 1/2 pour cent a rencontré le meilleur accueil à Paris et a été amplement couverte. La Fondateur monte de 8050 à 8350. avec tendance à la hausse.
Après avoir fléchi de 9 3/8 à 9 1/4, la Land Bank remonte graduellement jusqu'à "9 7/16 acheteurs.
La Cassa di Sconto ouvre à 178, fléchit à 176 1/2, mai reprend vers la fin à 181 1/2. La Nouvelle est à 170 1/2.
Les transactions en Banque d'Athènes ont été considérables. De 128 1/2 le cours monte à 132, prix auquel on détache coupon (4 frs.) ; ceci ramène le cours à 128, mais la valeur con- tinue sa marche ascendante et atteint 130 1/4 ex coupon, ce qui représente une avance de près de 6 francs pour la semaine. La hausse provient du vote en première lecture de la pro- position Pesmazoglu par le parlement hellé- nique. On s'attend à ce que la proposition soit également votée en seconde lecture.
Très délaissée d'abord à 28 1/16, la Daïra se raffermit à 28 3/8 pour clôturer à 28 5/16. la Deferred est entre 179 et 181.
La Delta light débute à 13, atteint 13 1/4 . et finit à 13 5/32 la Deferred fluctue de 181/2 à 13 3/4 avec affaires restreintes.
Les Privilégiées Tramways d'Alexandrie flé- chissent de 162 à 153 pour reprendre en clô- ture à 155. Les Dividendes reprennent aussi de 342 à 345.
En tendance meilleure, la Ramleh Railway hausse de 7 3/16 à 7 3/8.
la Salt and Soda est négligée entre 34/6 et 34/9.
L'Alexandria Water est en reprise de 14 7/8 à 15.
On a beaucoup échangé de Markets à 22/9. Des milliers d'Estates ont changé de mains à un prix variant de 7/8 à 15/16. On clôture à 29/82 en forte demande.
Très fermes au début, les Filatures fléchis- sent de 13/16 à 3/4 la Spinning et de 5/9 à 5 les Cotton Mills.
Le groupe des Hotels est toujours en fa- veur :La Nungovich ouvre à 9 7/8 et atteint 10 1/8 pour réactionner légèrement à 10 1/32 en clôture ; l'Upper Egypt monte de 4 5/8 à 4 7/8 et les Egyptian Hotels de 2 1/4 à 2 7/16 acheteurs.
Sur la rumeur que les pourparlers entre l'Anglo American Nile et la Hamburg America Linie se poursuivent d'une façon satisfaisante, l'Anglo American est poussée de 5 3/8 à 5 3/4. On clôture à 5 5/8.
Le Trust, moins en vue, baisse de 1 3/8 à 1 5/16.
L'investment fluctue entre 1 5/16 et 1 3/8 pour finir à 1 11/32.
Les Building Lands sont demandées entre 4 1/8 et 4 3/16.
De 4 5/8 l'Urbaine monte à 4 13/16, en bonne tendance.
Délaissée an début à 2 7/16, la Delta Land finit demandée à 2 9/16. Cette société aurait, paraît-il, conclu dernièrement plusieurs affai- res avantageâtes.
Sur une rumeur qui tend à démentir le pro- chain lancement d'une société concurrente, la Khédivial Mail reprend de 4 3/16 à 4 5/16 la Privilegiee et de 16/- a 18/6 l'ordinary. La Brasserie des Pyramides fait un bond de 113 à 126 pour revenir a 122 en clôture la Privilégiée ; la Dividende monte de 60 à 65. La Crown Brewery reste immobile entre 200 et 202 la Privilégiée et 108 et 110 la Di- vidende.
L'Obligation Crédit Foncier est très sou tenue entre 314 et 315 l'ancienne émission et à 272 la nouvelle.
De 1 1/8 l'Oasis monte à 1 1/4 pour réac- tionner en clôture à 1 3/16.
Le Comptoir, couvert, comme on le sait. 38 fois, ce qui constitue pour la saison morte ou nous sommes un grand succès, débute a 4 1/2, atteint 4 5/8, mais reactionne a 5/16 a la suite d'importantes réalisations. La Fondateur, pra- tique d'abord au cours de 35 $, tombe pour la meme motif a 22-24 $.
