OBSERVATIONS BY THE SURVEY DEPARTMENT.

An English Dally Newspaper, Zatabliabed use. Editor and Mwagar: R. Shbllino. Price; One Plaatro Tariff. MONDAY, AUGUST 91, 1905. 81LVEB CURRENCY. We need not apologise to our readers for recurring to the all import wt subjeots referred to in Lord Cromer'* Reports, indeed almost every line of thesaReports could aptly be taken at a text to be enlarged upon profitably. The subjeots treated in these yearly "Gospels" are so many and various, and deserve so much thought, that to dismiss them in a few general articles is to show an inadequate appreciation of their public inteto it and importanoe. By an unwritten law, of which we oannot deny the propriety, Bgyptisn Givernment officials are "not encouraged" to write in the public press on those particular subjects ol which they have special oognisanoe and, even it it were other- wise, their praise dr criticism, if suoh were necessary, would naturally be *»k«n as "ex parte". Onr views, therefore, rightly partake of the character of outside criticism and may be modified by any undisclosed facts being brought to 'light The subject of ourranoy is ao- knowlelged to be one of much difficulty. It is full of pitfalls, and has never been reduced to a science, every oouutry —mning to form an exception and requiring to be dealt with differently. In aoountiy like Egypt, arising anew, like a Pfcro iix, from the ashes of a great past, which left no guide for its future, the subjeot is one of great importance, and of interest to the outer world, as Egypt is the latest oouutry to establish a new curren.y in aooordanoe with the best modem ideas. In section 31 of the 1904 Report, attention is called to this subjeot by the significant fact of the ooinage of LiR 629,000 in new silver ourrenoy. In order that our readers may realise the retativo importanoe of this large new supply we may mention that the total imputation for the last five years had only amounted to L.E 296,000, of which L.K. 100,000 had only reoently arrived when the above large supply was ordered; that the whole amount of silver coined at the Con- stantinople Mint during the year was not half the amount purchased by Egypt; and that the silver ourrenoy withdrawn during 1904 amounted to only L.B. 10,780. We are sorry that the complete report of Mr. Ronssin could not have been included in the appendix of Lord Cromer's Report, as so exceptional an addition to the coinage justified, and even called for the fullest consideration and eluoidation, and it leaves ns the neoessity of gathering many data from extraneous sources. It may not be ill-timed to recall the history of Egyptian curreaoy. Ic is nut nacaiiary for this purpose to go forthu book than the year 1886, when as a result of tho Cummisrion of 1884, and under the able guidinoe of Sir Edgar Vinoent, the whole monetary system was placed upon a new and sound basis. To make the new system effective, it was neoessaiy to withdraw gradually the old ooins, par ary to withdraw gradually the old ooins, par tioulajly miscellaneous foreign pieoes which then compoeed 60 per cent of the ourrenoy, and to import new ooins to the required amount Tbs amount of silver or token cur renoy was limited under the decree to' 40 piastres per head of the population.
GaAHD Total : LR 1,674,1 qo These ooinages were partly made up of old ooins withdrawn and reooined. Assuming the population of Egypt to be 10,000,000, and allowing still for old ooins still in circulation, fWT the silver to be above 17 piastre* per heed, to which may ba added about 9 piastres of This figure compares with 10/-. or 50 piastres, per heed in Bagiand. But the circulation in India wOl prove a better basis for comparison. Owing to the hoarding propensities of Mohammedan populations (so- oording to IMenim'i obbotate oaloulatioo*) two-thirds of the silver provided in India disappeared in 50 yaais. We thirk Out it would be safe to assume that the same tou denoy to hoard will show itself in Egypt, encouraged as it is by a religion which dii conntananoes the putting out of money to usury. After making the deduction* neoeeeiUUd by this disappearance of large sums, the amount per head of silver circulating or in bankers' hands in India was, by Mr. H »r- rison's calculation, 6} rupees—say 85 piastres. As Professor Jevons has observed, "no one can tell how muoh ourrenoy a nation requires, and to attempt to regulate its quantity is the last thing a statesman world da" Never- thelere in view of the importanoe of having a supply adequate to the demand, without in- curring any unnaoeesary lots of interest, it is very desirable to arrive at some rational estimate from year to year. In the case of Egypt it is essential to bear in mind the very exceptional and rapid changas that are taking place: i.e., the large addition to the land under cultivation, necessitating inoreesed distribution in small wages, the increase of the imports and exports from LR 90,000,000 to LE. 40,000,000 since the new ourrenoy was estab- lished, the inorease of railway passengers from 9,800,000 to 15,000,000, and the prospect of farther increases in all theae directions. As regards imports and exports, it it true that the latter are mainly dealt with by gold in the bulk, but in tha oolleotioc of exports and the distribution of imports, silver most be largely employed; looomotion also involves large amounts ot small silver ourrenoy. Under these (riroumstanoes, it is not surprising that tiie imports of silver up to 1908 proved quite inadequate and that silver money rose to a substantial premium in that year. It is rather surprising that the shortage was not foreseen and provided for. The sale of some of the ooins, converted into ingots in 1890, showed a still greater want of appreciation of the posi- tion. The issue of notes by the National Bank in 1898 for LR 1, and upwards, might be thought to reduce the requirements of silver to a certain extent, hat while rodeoing the demand for the latter metal it is doubtful if this (notwithstanding the inorease of the oiroolation of theae notes from LR 53,000 in 1900 to LR 454,000 in 1904) has done much, if anything, to displaoe silver, nor will it do so until the native population generally have made suoh a stride forward as oan not be anticipated for many yean, possibly genera- tions. The same mej be said as regards the extension of broking facilities generally, in its displacement of silver. We are inclined there- fore to entirely approve of the recent addi- tions to the silver ourrenoy bringing up the small supply to nearly 30 piastres par head. It passes the wit of man to lay down any fixed guiding role for the futon, and we think Mr. Ronssin would have been well advised to admit this to Ahe full rather than lay down as a basis for future guidanoe that "the amount ordered should represent the difference by which the Government stock in Jane foils short of LR 400,000 as a minimum," thj« gam being the mirimnw) required for moving the cotton crop. We confots we oannot follow this reasoning or see why the ootton orop or the Government bedding should be tht) sob) guide. In our opinion the matter must be looked upon in a much larger and broader manner. The pants which require consideration seem to be: 1. That Egypt is still progressing and gives promise of farther program at a very excep- tional rate, added to which the future re- quirements of the Sudan are an unknown quantity. 8. That the population generally are gaining money in exqem of their absolute requirements and that the tendency is likely to be towards hoarding their small gains, rather than providing themselves with further comfbrts or luxu- ries other than silver and gold ornaments, and that owing to the Egyptian custom of investing when possible in land, large amounts of omn are likely to be laid by for that eventual purpose, of which a considerable quantity will be in silver. 3. That the proportion per head of the population of 90 piastres as against 6} rupees in India is' stiR lo». 4. The point-made by Mr. Ronssin, via, "the moet important inferonoe to be drawn from more reoent events is that the fear of over issue, which underlies so muoh of the restrictions imposed by the Royal Commis- sion, has no longer any "raison d'etre f and we add this further consideration, that the Commission itself, notwithstanding its fears, authorised an fosoe of 40 and not 90 piastres par bead. 5. That the forcing of silver to a premium by an inadequate supply is thoroughly unsound and oakulated to do great harm by enoounging the holding of silver lor speculation, thus intensifying the soareity, and should be avoided at all ooeta. We oannot but think that on there points our readers will agree with us that the Government should in future aim at a fully adequate provision of sz$all currency and while we oannot approve Mr. Ronssin's method of oaloulating for the future, the country is to be congratulated upon-having at the head of this department a man who is not likely to advooate the mistakes of the past. To keep in close touch with the banks and markets is the moet important thing; indica- tions gathered from then trill be a better guide than any fixed method of oaloulation.

The Conference has adjourned until Tues day afternoon when the protocol will be signed. Meanwhile the plenipotentiaries will consult their respective Governments. The final deci- sion rests with Tokio and St Petersburg. It is noteworthy that the Japanese representatives are confident of peace which is in contrast with the Russian talk of failure. The Conference disagreed on Article XI. but agreed to Article XII: granting to the Japanese fishing rights on the Siberian coast. (R.)
It is stated that M. Witte has declined to entertain Article XI., but has intimated that Russia has no intention of maintaining a naval force in the Far East constituting a threat to Japan and other Powers. Baron Rosen will dine with President Roose- velt to-night It is conolnded that Mr. Roose- velt is endeavouring to prevent a rupture of the negotiations. (Reuter)
Portsmouth (N.H.), August 20. Baron de Rosen conferred for an hour with President Roosevelt. It is known that before inviting Baron de Rosen, President Roosevelt secured the active and cordial support of Great Britain, France, and Germany. He also com- municated with the Mikado. (Renter)
President Roosevelt has called Baron de Rosen to Oyster Bay, having a message to communicate to him. (Havas)
It is officially stated that Viscount Curzon, Viceroy and Governor-General of India, has resigned. Mr. Balfour has communicated the resignation to the King. {Ranter)
Though Reuter's brief telegram gives no reason for Lord Corzon's resignation, it is im- possible to avoid the inference that it is in some way connected with the recent dispute between Lord Kitchener and the Viceroy. It was generally stated and believed that the dispute had terminated in a satisfactory com- promise, but from the latest acoounts it seems only too probable that after experience of the actual working of the compromise, Lord Cur- ton found it less satisfactory than it had ap- peared on paper. On the other hand Lord Curzon has now been seven years in India, having been reappointed Viceroy in 1904, and is known to be feeling the effects of the climate and the hard work which his position involves. Here, we hope, will be found the true cause of his resignation, for the fact that a Viceroy had retired in consequence of a dispute with the Commander-in-Chief in India would be painful to all who have the true interests of the Empire at heart.
The Channel Squadron is being feted in the most cordial manner in Holland. It is stated that the Channel Squadron will visit Stockholm and Copenhagen. {Renter)
The "Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung" in an article evidently inspired, and intended to allay the excitement produced by the cruise of the Channel Squadron, says that the Baltio visit is merely a reply to the repeated visits of German warships to British ports, and that every sober minded Briton or German hopes that the visit will contribute to the mutual esteem between the two great civilised nations. ( Reuter)

The receipts of the Fayoum Light Railways Company during the first ten days of the present month amounted to L E 668.037 as compared with L.E. 598.857 during the corresponding period last year, thus showing an increase of L.E 69.230.
From the 1st of January to the 16th August, 592,859 tons of coal were imported into Egypt. Wales sent 323 641, New- castle 138,232, Scotland 74,028, Yorkshire 33,934, and other places 23,024 tons. During the same period of last year 617,911 tons were received.
In consequence of the practical extinction of tho cotton-worm, the Ministry of the Interior has struck off the list of employes temporarily appointed to cotton- worm duty, twenty three moawins idara, or head clerks, and ordered them to return to their duties in the Gharbiah and Behera moudiriehs, their-services being no longer required.
A Berberin boy, while crossing the street at Minet-el-Bassal, saw a carriage bearing down on him. He rushed to the pavement and had the misfortune to tread on the foot of an Italian named Giuseppe Polias. This brute, in an outburst of ill-temper, caught the boy, struck him in the face, and stabbed him in the nook with a knife, inflicting a serious wound. The Italian is still at large.
A young Greek girl of eighteen years of age attempted to commit suicide last Saturday by throwing herself from thereof of a house in the Moharrem Bey quarter. She was severely injured and will require at least three week's medical treatmentbefore she can recover. The girls gives as tflb reason for this attempt on her own life, that she was thwarted in love, but refuses to give any details.
On Saturday Aid Ramadan, an arbagi, took a mule to water at El Azarito, Mohsrrem Bey. He appears to have tied the end of the rope by which he led the animal round his waist. Being suddenly alarmed, the male dashed off at full gallop, and the unfortunate man fell and was dragged along for some distance. His injuries were so serious that he expired before he could be carried to hospital.
Four deaths from cattle plague were notified in Egypt during the week ending last Saturday, all of them occurring in the Sannoures district (Fayoum province). The number of deaths during the corresponding period last year was 409. Since the commen- cement of the epidemic the total number of deaths amounts to 147,437, distributed as follows.- Gouvernorats 894 ; Lower Egypt 54,291 ; Upper Egypt, 93,251.
A tram car carrying goods collided on Saturday evening with a passenger car which had stopped at Carlton station. The driver of the goods tram appears to have been suddenly attacked by a fit of giddiness, and to have fallen down a few seoonds before coming in sight of the passenger tram. Deprived of guidance his tram ran straight into the car, which had halted at the station. Both trams were derailed by the shock, but happily no passengers sustained injuries. The driver of the passenger car received a wound in the left band, which will require four days' treat- ment. The driver of the other tram car will be under medical care for five days.
The plague bulletin issued by the Sanitary Department for the week ending last Saturday shows a welcome reduction in the number of cases which were notified, and the number of localities in which the cases ocurred is reduced to one, namely Alexandria. The number occurring was seven, three of which are Europeans. Three recoveries and three deaths are reported, and there now remain thirteen cases under treatment, twelve of which are at Alexandria, and one at Dekerness. The total numbers of cases since January amounts to 228, Compared to 775 during the corresponding period last year. Yesteday's bulletin reports one death and one recovery at Alexandria. The fatal case was that of a native woman, who was found dead at her house in the Mobattea Bay quarter.
The electric railway for which Boghos Pasha Nubar and M. Empain gained the concession at the same time as the muoh talked of Oasis conoession, will start from the end of the Rue Djellal, where it joins the Sharia Boulac at the new Dalra Khasaa buildings, and cros- sing it, will proceed past the Pont-Limoun station, in the Plaoe Bab-el-Hadid, and along- side the Boulevard Abbas to the Pont de Ghamreh, whence it will run parallel to the Marg line as far as Koubbeh, and thence across the desert to the terminus, the whole length being between eight and nine kilometres. The speed allowed on this electric railway will be seventy kilometres an hour, whilst the tramways only run at between twelve and fifteen kilo- metres, so that the entire distance from point to point can be effected in a quarter an hour or so, including stoppages on the way. A tramway line will also be laid from their property to the terminus at Abbassieh of the tramway Company, and will be worked in conjunction with the latter. This line will cross that of the State Railway by a 'raised metallic structure, lightly built, and supported by, iron pillars. The plans and estimates for the two lines are now being prepared, and it is expected that the work will be taken in hand in the course of the next three or four months and take a year to complete.
We mentioned recently in these columns that the Government proposed to construct a new barrage at Esneh, and that the Mini- stry of Public Works had prepared the specifi- cations for the works. This new barrage is intended to hold up the Nile flood for the irrigation of such lands in Upper Egypt as are now deprived of water during the period of a low Nile, and come under the designation of "sharaki." Had this dam been at present in existence the full effect of the existing low flood would in all probably not have been felt or, at all events would have been minimised. The work will take three years at least, the same time as the Assiout one took, as it can only be done in the spring and summer when the river is at its lowest.
In our issue of 80th Jane last we mentioned that the Tramway Company were making considerable alteration on their old Cairo line between Kaar-el-Nil square and Poum-el- Khalig. These alterations comprise the doub- ling of the line for a distance of abont two kilo- metres, and the removal of the present single line from the carriage way, in order to allow that part of the road to remain entirely free for vehicular traffic. The new double line is being laid on one side, and a pavement is being made between for pedestrians. These improve- ments, which were necessitated by the con- stantly increasing traffic, will avoid the delays occasioned by there being only one line; besides improving the carriage-way, which, in future, will be ten metres wide. The work is expected to be completed by the beginning of next month, when the new service will com- mence. Mr. Dessales, the General Manager of the Company in Cairo, is returning from Italy sooner than was expected in consequence of several matters that require his attention in connection with the many extensions and new lines about to be begun, and will arrive by the Rubattino steamer due on Sunday.
Baruc Youzsef, and Ibrahim Isaao Levi, the Israelites who opposed such a vigorous resistance to the police who had entered a suspected hashish establishment, have been questioned by the Parquet and deny the truth of the charge brought against them. They assert that they were passing by the house into which the police had forced an entrance, when the sister of one of them called to them from the window, appealing for assistance against burglars who had got into the house. As they tried to enter, a man in civil dress stopped them at the door, and threatened them with his sword-stick. Thinking that the man was in league with a gang of thieves they threw him on the ground, and snatched away his stiok. This attracted a large crowd and everyone thought that it was a fight with thieves, the police agents being in plain cloathes. The Sheikh el hara declared that he heard that thieves were attacking a house and on going to find out what was happening, and received a shot in the abdomen. In spite of all inquiries made up to the present, it has not, as yet, been discovered by whom the police agent was wounded. An Armenian, amongst whom some of those who were involved in the trouble took refuge, has been questioned by the Parquet, but with no definite result. In the meanwhile, the two Israelites have been handed over to the care of the French Consulate to await developments.
The Ellermah S.S. City of Oxfprd sailed on Saturday for Malta and Liverpool, with general cargo including 2,368 bales cotton.
The anniversary of the birth of the Austrian Emperor Francois Joseph was celebrated here yesterday by the Austrian residents, "en fete." A high mass was held at the Church of St. Kugenie attended by the Austrian Consul and staff. This was followed by a reception which in its turn gave place to a dinner held in the garden of the Eastern Exchange, during and after which the Lyra band played selec- tions. Festivities were kept up till a late hour.
The S.S. Riverton, which on arrival at Suez appears to have had a doubtful case of plague on board, was there granted "free pratique." but on arrival at Port Said yesterday the case for some time engaged the attention of the quarantine officials, who declared it bona fide plague and removed the patient to the segregation depot. No communioation with the shore was allowed, and the vessel left in strict quarantine in the course of the after noon for Malta.
It is with much pleasure that I announce the receipt here of news from England of the birth of a son to Mr. and Mrs. Tarrel Mr. Tarrel is the director of Customs in Port Said, and is well known to the inhabitants of Alexandria, in which town he spent some years of his life.
The large fine block of buildings situated opposite the new Museum of Antiquities in the Sharia Abbas, which belongs to the Mis- sion Afrioaine, has been sold to Madame Fink, the former proprietor of the Pension Fink, which is now being demolished, for £17,000,including the value of the site of nearly 1,000 square metres. The building, which is four storied and was erected about four years ago at a cost of £18,000 approximately, produces now an annual rental of some £900, and in it are the head offices of the Tramway Company. The present owner seems to have made a good bargain, for when the new boulevard Abbas is completed, and the leases of the present tenants expire in abont 1 1/2 years the rents of the several apartments are likely to be increased. The Mission Africaine have a plot of vacant building land in the vicinity, of 3,800 square metres, for which an offer of purchase at £7 to £8 per square metre has just been refused, as it is expected that the contemplated improve- ments, and the making of the boulevard, will be certain to cause an increase in the value of land in this district.
THE SARKIS AFFAIR
Now that the unnatural mother, who was recently found guilty of employing her own children for immoral purposes, and profiting by their gains, has been punished, we should like to know if any measures have been taken to protect these minors, who must need the most careful education, and the strictest guard, after their demoralising experience. The sen- tence on the mother was well deserved, but, what has been done, now that the children are left fatherless, and temporarily motherless, without relations or friends, to protect them from similar dangers in the future. There seems to have been a certain want of enterprise in the court which condemned the woman Sarkis, but, to judge from its silence on the matter, made no attempt to find out who were the persons who had committed the offences of which the court had ample evidence. Morally they are as guilty as the victims of the law, and it is most unfortunate, in our opinion, that no attempt has been made to take proceedings against them. Are they all protected by the Capitulations.

The export of cattle to Egypt continues. Attention has bean drawn from time to time in the "Egyptian Gazette" to the vary lax methods practised in the shipment to end disembarcation at Port Said of cattle from Levantine ports, and some interesting com- munications on the subject between certain Egyptian authorities were lately published in the columns of your journal, which strikingly revealed the need of improvement in this matter. I am assured that a shipment of cattle from Cyprus to Egypt rarely takes place without deaths ooourring from over- crowding, or other ill-treatment The animals are little, if at all, fed or watered while on the journey, and if report be true, they often stand in several inches of powdered gypsum, the particles of which fill the air of the hold, and tend to make Hie all hot insupportable to the wretched beasts. Tbs often expressed opinion that this state of things costs thousands of pounds to Cypriot exporters is probably no exaggeration. There are both in Egypt and Cyprus societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals Could not they go into the subject jointly, and draw up a report containing practical suggestions for the consideration of the authorities responsible for the shipping regulations t The existing regulations, it would seem, are either not enforced, or stand in need of drastio revision, both in respeot of the spaoe allowed per beast, the feeding, and the water- ing. Whatever the standing regulations may be, it would appear to be necessary that an authorised official should accompany each ship- ment to see that they are duly earned out The present needless waste and depreciation of animal life is deplorable, and exporters would be wise if they agreed to pay a slightly higher rata of freight in order to insure their cattle arriving in sound and healthy con- dition.
At this time of year whole villages are deserted in some parts of the Island, the occupants having taken up their summer quarters in the fields in order to protect their ripening crops, e.g. figs, melons, olives, colo- cynths, etc. This is by no means an unneces- sary precaution, as many small thefts are reported to the polive. The villagers erevt little shanties of reeds, brushwood,etc., and the owners of fig trees, especially, often find ex- cellent shade beneath their wide-sprrading branches. Sumach is now being collected from the vineyards, the leaves of which are dried and ground, and exported to Syria and else- where for use in tanneries. Remunerative prioee are obtained. Some promising fields of ootton, of tha "Peteririn" variety, are to be seen near Morphou. They are flowering well.
Now that the railway is open to traffic on the Nicosia-Famagusta track, the question of appointing officials is to the fore. There is a laudable desire to give posts, as far as possible, to Cypriots, but there must be considerable difficulty in selecting the applicants—of whom there are a great number—very few of whom have ever seen a train. We hear of chemists' compounders, domestic servants, etc. becoming stationmastors, train guards, and so forth, and whether this is so or not, there must neces- sarily be many suoh anomalies in the oase of the first introduction of a railway into any country. The native press would wish to see all the appointments filled by natives and at high rates of pay, but a little reflection on their part should convinoe them that at least the more responsible officials should be trained and experienced men, and these are not to be be found at present among the Cypriots. The minor, unskilled officials could hardly expeot wages at the same rate of pay as the higher olass men, though in time, no doubt, they will beoome competent to fill the better paid posts.
The two sons of Sir Charles and Lady King- Harman arrived in Cyprus last week to spend their school holidays here. Messrs. Percy and Wilfrid Christian have recently arrived from England. Major French, R.A.M.C., and Mrs. French sail this week for England on long leave. Major French has been ill for some time, but is now rapidly recovering his health. Mr. E. 0. Antonades, of Alexandria, is at present at Larnaca, superintending the erection of a girls' school, which he is building there at a cost of about £1,000.

Paris, August 90. The painter Bouguereau has died. (Havas) Adolphe William Bouguereau, a French painter, and Member of the Institute, was born at La Rochelle, Nov. 80, 1835. He began life in a business house at Bordeaux, but obtained permission to attend the drawing school of M. Alaux for two hours a day. His fellow-pupils treated him with contempt on account of his business connections, and when, at tho end of the year, he gained the first prize, the excite- ment was so great that a riot ensued, and a formal protest was made by the pupils against his receiving it, but without effect. He then turned all his attention to painting, and entered the studio of Pieot, in Paris, and later entered the Boole des Beaux Arts, where his progress was rapid. In 1850 he went to Rome, and in 1854 exhibited "The Body of St Cecilia borne to the Catacombs," since which time he has occupied a leading portion among the artists of the Modern French School. His next great work was "Philomela and Proone" 1861. Both these pictures are now in the Luxem- bourg. "Mater Afflictorum," or "Vierge Con- solatrice," 1876, was purchased by the French Government for 19,000 franca. Among his pictures exhibited at the Salon may bd men- tioned "The Bather," 1870; "Harvest Timd" 1879; "The Little Marauders," 1878; "Homer and his Guide," 1874 ; Flora end Zephyna," 1875; "Pieta," 1878; "Youth and Love," 1877; "The Scourging of Our Lord," 1880; "Lie Virgin with Angela," 1881; "Slave Carrying a Fan," 1882; "The Youth of Bacchus," and "Byblis," 1885; "Love Disarmed," 1888; Love Victorious," 1887; "Baigneuaoa," 1888; "Psyche and Lore," 1889 ; "L'Amour MouilM," 1901. M. Bouguereau executed the mural paintings in the St Louis Chapel of the Church of St C.otilde, and in the Church of St Augustine. Many of his pictures have been engraved by Francois
SIR WILLIAM CLOWES.
Sir William Laird Clowes, the well-known naval critic and writer, passed away at St Leonards last Monday; at the early age of forty-nine years, having been born in 1856 at Hampstead. Deceased, who was knighted in 1902, was the eldest son of William Clowes some time one of the Registrars in Chancery. Educated successively at Aldenham, King's College, London, and Linobln'e Inn, he at the last moment abandoned the Bar for journalism, and wrote on technical subjects, chiefly naval, subsaquently devoting himself to research in naval history. Some of his papers on the condition of the Navy have been translated into many languages, and have probably, for good or evil, had an enormous influence upon naval as well as public opinion. He served on the Arts and General Committees of the Royal Naval Exhibition of 1891, gained the Gold Medal of the United States Naval Institute in the following year, was elected a Fellow of King's College, London in 1896, and was chosen an hon. member of the Royal United Service Institution, before which he had more than once lectured, in 1896. He was the author of numerous books, indnding "The Naval Pocket-book," "The captain of the Mary Rose," "Blood is Thicker than Water;" and others. Little more than two years ago, in the preface to his "History of the Royal Navy,"he wrote," "Begun at a time when I was in my usual good health. Volume I. was still in the rough when I was attacked by a malady which, though its action is sometimes slow, seldom spares the life of its victims ; and in consequence I was suddenly ordered away from England, where alone I could have prosecuted the work under conditions entirely favorable. Except during intervals, I had to remain abroad or in the Channel Islands until the autumn of 1909." Sir William married in 1882 Ethel, second daughter of the late L.F. Edwards, of Mitcham.
CAPTAIN R CECCONI.
Our Suez correspondent writes :— It is with the deepest regret that I have to announce the sad death at Bert of Captain R Ceoooni (Capitaine d'armement) of the Suez Canal Company. Captain Cecconi died yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock at his residence at Port Tewfik after a short illness. His funeral took place at 4 p.m. to-day, and was attended by the whole Euro- pean communities of Suez and Port Tewfik. Numerous wreaths were sent by his friends. Several officials of the Suez Canal Company specially came to Suez from Ismailia and Port Said, and were present at the funeraL The deoeased had served the Canal Company for 30 years, and his death is greatly regretted by all who knew him. All steamers in port and the shipping agencies have their flags at half- mast.

Saturday's Skye Meeting was decidedly abavev the average, as Skye Meetings go; some good 'finishes, and rather unexpected ones too, affording plenty of excitement to the audience, which if .not large - that could not be expected at this p'oriod of the summer—was representa- tive. The Pari Mutnel paid well as a rule and the good fields for the third, fourth, and fifth races made speculation interesting, if not always profitable. • T6 turn to the actual racing, the second event was, of oouree, at easy and certain victory for Ishak Bey Hussein's El Tahawi.but in the third Suleik had to fight very hard for victory against the same owner's. Fadgham. Eoheme won an unexpected victory over Prince Soled in the fourth race, but ini he fifth Mr. Sorsock's, Sans Pareil won a very easy victory. In the last race Moofid was, if anything, the favorite, Mikado and Mirzaud having also s good many supporters but, nobody, in spite of the 10 lb*, difference in weight carried, auticipated that Moharrem l'asha Chehim's Barb would literally run away from Ishak Bey Hussein's horse. The following is a description of the various events :— SAN STEFANO PLATE of P.T. 2,500 to winner and P.T. 600 to 2nd horse.

The horses went off at last at the dropping of the flag and Ibrahim Bey Cherifs pair took the lead, Sanspareil and Lonlou well op. Hadban was among the leaders half way with Mahroosse just behind, but neither could stay, and when the horses came out into the straight Sanspareil waa a certain winner.

A despatch has been received at the Foreign Office from H.M. Minister at Seoul (Sir J. N. Jordan, K.O.M.G.), transmitting the following memorandum, drawn up by a m^nber of the legation, containing the suhstance of a report by Mr. Kato, a professor in the'Derartment of Commerce and Agrioultnre in Tokio, who has reoently visited Korea in order -to make investigations into the suitability of the country for the cultivation of cotton :— The principal districts where ootton is at present produoed in Korea are the provinoes of Pyeng An, Chiil La, Chong Cheng, Kyeng Sang, Kenng Keui, and Whang Hai. The soil in these districts consists for the most part of disintegrated granite sand, and Liable earth, woll suited for the cultivation of ootton ; but the fanning methods of the Koreans are primitive and inefficient, and the area of ootton underocltivation might, with improvedmethods, and the use of proper manures, be greatly ex- tended, The temperature does not differ greatly from that of the districts in the neighbourhood of Oraka and Hisosbima, the principal oentres of cotton growing in Japan, the whole of Korea, with the exception of the moat northerly parts of the country, lying south of the 41st parallel of north latitade. Again, the ootton plant thrives beat with good circulation of air end a plentiful supply of water, and more especially with but little rain daring the flowering period, Low the end of August to Ootober. The climate of Korea, therefore, Bhould be most favorable to its successful cultivation. Although it is not possible to specify o'early the different speoies of ootton grown in Korea, those kinds of cotton known in Japan as Korean ootton are (a) red-stalk; (b) green-stalk; (c); large Korean : and (d) small Korean ootton.' The green-stalk, which is distinguished by its number of stalks and its somewhat short fibre, also by its being the earliest variety by seme six or ieven days, is the only distinct speoies. all the others being muoh alike as regards the quality of the ootton, and only differing in appearance. The fibre is fine and long ; compared with Japanese ootton about one-tent^ to cine-seventh of an inch longer, and consequently somewhat longer than Cbiqpse ootton and equal to Indian. In fqtqre, with carefol cultivation, it should rival Indian ootton. Its lustre is about the same as that of Indian or Chinese ootton, bat not qnito so good as the Japanese. As has been said above, Korea is well suited to the oultnrg, of ootton. The cultivation of of American np-land ootton hag not made much progress in Japan, owing to the exces- sive rain foil. As the rainfall in Korea, however, is considgrikbly less, and as the kinds now grqwn do well in the conntry, the conditions should be well suited to the cultivation of American npland cotton. Moreover, as the American variety is able to stand the beat of the morning sun, the plains and projected seashore reclamations in Korea would be ex oellantly suited for its culture, and the introduc- tion of the American plant should be attended with considerable snocess. Seeing that the conditions in Korea would appear favorable to the cultivation of American ootton, while the cost of importation into Japep from Amerioa renders this deception very expen- sive, the motivation of ootton, and especially of the American variety, in Korea should tend to lend a great impetus to the ootton industry in Japan. An association for the cultivation of oqtton in Korea has already been formed, and proposes to commence operation* this year in the neigh- bqcthpod of Mokpo. The rowing time being now (deepatoh dated May 16th) at hand, an expert and labourers are being sent from Japan. The selection of these and the condaot of the experimental efforts are to he under the direc- tion of the Department of Agriculture. The authorities in Japan have promised their fall icflort to the rental.
