The management of the'Crosrn Casigo at Ibrahimieh is presenting an excellent variety entertainment to its patrons. To-night Mile. Nina de Pervenche, an Italian artiste with a well-trained and pure mezzo-soprano voice, will appear for the lint time at this theatre, and Mile Mary Flenr, to whom the mnsio-hall youth (and would-ba youth) of Cairo have without ex- ception lost their hearts, will ask and obtain the applause of the Crown Theatre audiencee. The dnettist? Colibris are as lively and at- tractive a couple as one could wish to see, and Mile Lyda Osman, a favorite in Egypt ever since the day of her arrival, is miking a great hit with the song 'Oil fa!" sang à l'Egyptienne.
News comes from Coastantippple of the discovery by the Turkish Police ol a perfect magazine of bombs in an Armenian house at Smyrna. The police have made numerous arrests, and the rospeotable majority of the Armenian community is re- ported to be greatly perturbed. Meantime the searoh for the authors of the Constantinople outrage continues, though we understand that the real'culprit is known to have been killed by the bomb, and a "Young Turkish" proclamation attacking the Sultan, which was posted up on some mosques lately, has caused the police to redouble their vigilance. One of the results of this renewal of activity has been the arrest of a Frenchman who bora the same Christian name as the fabulous Italian anarch- ist who is the "official" author of the crime.
Kafr el Zayat and the sorronnding districts are notorious for the prevalence of crime. Mnrders and other serious (jffefioes certainly seem more frequent in these districts than in any others. Tho Ministry of ^he Interior have just dompleted tax inquiry into the base of a certain Mahmoud el Arebi who fired a gun in dose proximity to, if not actually at, two Englishman residing in the village, and who gave at his excuse that he was "frightened of the ghaffirt" which were about A report now readies as that the body of a man, named Jkfnstapha Omar, was -found in the street at ge el Z*yat two nights ago.

Mr. Richards, H.B.M.'s Consul at Damasons, points out in his report on the trade of the Syrian capital in 1904, that absolutely, or even, in some cases, relatively accurate data are unattainable owing to the absence of any official figures of the amount and value of the exports and imports of the vilayet. In 1904 trade seems to have been normal, though a bad harvest had, of course, considerable influence on the purchasing powers of the peasantry. Sugar appears to have risen enormously in price owing, it is said, to the withdrawal of the Austro-Hungarian Government bounty hitherto granted to sugar exporters, and the failure of the beetroot crop in Austria and Russia. Another cause was the cessation of the cholera epidemic which had raged for nearly a year in the country. The connection does not seem obvious at first sight but is easy enough to realise, when the fact is grasped that the consumption of tea, and consequently of sugar, rises abnormally during an epidemic which makes even the waters of Abana and Pharphar suspect.
Egyptian rice completely ousted the Genoa article in the vilayet, and appears to be the best obtainable, the Rangoon product coming second. No less than 70 % of the whole import of rice came from Egypt and Egyptian sugar was also more freely imported than before. The export of native silk and cotton fabrics to Egypt increased, and Cairo took nearly all the handsome silver girdles, which every tourist knows, amounting to some £7,000 in value. These girdles, Mr. Richards states are made as a rule, out of melted Maria-Teresa dollars imported from Aden and the Straits Settlements, and are sold at about two shillings each.
To turn to the trade with the United Kingdom and with India, British imports consist mainly of cotton goods, cotton and woollen yarns, cloth, hardware and metals. The slight decline recorded is easily explained by the bad harvest, and it is satistactory to note that despite dismal forecasts of the ousting of British cotton goods and yarn by Italian and German product, these dangerous competitors are losing ground. British cotton yarn advanced from 48 to 60 % of the whole trade in this article and the United Kingdom is responsible for 82 % of the whole import of cotton goods.
Hardware fell off owing to the fact that one threshing machine only was imported in the course of the year. Mr. Richards remarks that Syria is extraordinarily backward in this respect, even for an Oriental country, and notes the conservatism of the few large land owners who could afford to purchase up-to-date agricultural machinery. On the other hand a considerable number of stocking-knitting machines are yearly imported, selling for £9 12s. each, and there is some demand for sewing machines. Bicycles— mirabile dictu ! — have also been sent to Syria, but as the author of the report justly remarks, "the execrable state of the roads makes the demand for this means of locomation less and less every year." It is perhaps a sign of'the times that while the lawful importation of cheap and inferior sporting smooth- bores fell off in 1904, the illicit import trade in serviceable rifles showed an increase. The Martini-Henry was the favorite pattern, but Mausers and Mannlichers found their way into the country. This year the trade is said to be prospering, and quite a number of Mausers have found their way to the Hauran, while Martinis, with each of which fifty rounds of ammunition are given away, are as popular as ever.
The report throws some interesting sidelights on the economic condition of the country, and on the changes that, even in the East, affect the demand for certain goods. Marble is no longer so freely used in domestic architecture. The Damascenes are nowadays more economically inclined than they used to be in the matter of the adornment of the courtyards, and still more of the interiors of their houses, into which marble plain and richly sculptured, entered largely and lavishly to the extent of many thousands of pounds. All this extravagance is now a thing of the past, to the great loss of Italian importers who have a monopoly of the article.
We have not the spaoe for farther discussion of the leading features in these interesting reports, but would like to point out to British merchants in the Near East that there are plenty of openings for trade in Syria and Palestine, and that, thanks to the high reputation of British goods, and, we may add, of British traders, energy combined with a readiness to attend to the economio needs of the people, will meet with their reward. The town population shows a wish to better itself that may be manifested in strange ways—eg. in an increasing demand for ready-made suits of exceptional atrocity—but should none the less be closely studied by British firms and their agents or travellers.
A goods train laden with sugar while coming in to the old Suez station at 7 o'clock this morning, owing to the break failing to act, ran right through the railings and thence over the road into an inhabited house, of which part of the wall was knocked down, and the engine made its way through a room. Three trucks are very badly damaged, one of which was jerked over the locomotive and turned over. The engine in addition to being partly buried in the sand, was to all appearance seriously damaged.
Fortunately there was nobody hurt, with the exception of the engine-driver who escaped with a severe shock, on account of which he bad to be conveyed to the hospital.
The Russian transport Mercury, flying the commercial flag, arrived at Suez yesterday afternoon from Saïgon, and entered the Canal last night bound to Port Said where she will receive orders.
This vessel was attached to Admiral Rodjestvensky's squadron, and escaped at the commencement of the naval battle, and subsequently took refuge at Saigon.
She was cleared here by the Russian Consul.
The Hon. Lewis M. Iddings, appointed Diplomatic Agent and Consul General for the U. S. of America in Egypt, in succession to Mr. John W. Riddle, recently transferred as Minister to Roumania, has arrived in Cairo from Rome, where he was for the past eight years first secretary to the Embassy. Mr. Iddings is leaving again in the course of a few days on a two months' holiday, and will return to take up his new post officially on the 1st November.
The Agency and Consulate, where Mr. Iddings will reside, is to be removed on the 1st October from the Sharia Gamah Sherkess to Kasr-el-Doubara, and will be located in the house belonging to Mr. Frederick G. Morgan, the deputy Consul-General, situated opposite the residence of H.E. Fakhry Pasba.
The Board have entered into an agreement with Messrs. Lake and Currie for their retention as consulting engineers in connection with the well-boring operations in the Oases of Western Egypt, about to be conducted on a much larger scale under the immediate supervision of Mr. H. J. L. Beadnell, F.G.B., F.R.G.S., the corporation's manager in the Oases and geological expert ( late of the Geological Survey, Egyptian Government). The chemist, who has spent the past season investigating the earthy minerals of Khargeh, returns to Egypt early in September, and under his direstion immediate steps will be taken to manufacture aluminium sulphate upon a commercial scale. A large number of tanks for this purpose will be constructed forthwith.
The rumour recently spread by some of the Cairo papers that the property known as the Pension Fink had been sold by its present owner, Osman Bey Sherif, to an English syndicate for £95,000, is altogether incorrect, as no such sale has taken place, although there have been several offers of purchase lately.
The history of this property is a forcible illustration of the immense rise within the past year or two in the price of building sites, especially in the fashionable quarters. The house and grounds, consisting of 7,500 square metres, fronting the promenade drive in the Sharia Suleiman Pasha, were purchased eight years ago for £14,000 by Madame Fink, after whom the pension was named, from Abdel Kader Pasha Helmi, a former Minister of the Interior. Madame Sursock bought it from the last owner in the commencement of the present year for £42,000 but, on learning of the sale, Osman Bey Sherif exercised his right of pretemption at this price. In March the Mixed Tribunal admitted his right and he then entered into possession. The old Pension Fink is now being demolished preparatory to the resale of the land.

The M.M. mail boat Niger, which left Alexandra last Friday arrived at Marmilles at five o'olook this morning.
A serious explosion of a lime-catcher in connection with one of the condensers occured last Saturday, involving serious injury to Mr. Warn, chief engineer, and Mr. Archer, shift engineer. The explosion was caused by the bursting of a steam Pipe, and so great was its forc that both Mr Warn and Mr Archer were thrown down, and at the same time thrown some ten yards away from the place where they were standing. Mr Wan was thrown into a sea-water ditch and wast taken out unconscious whilst Mr Archer, on regaining his feet, jumped on to the top of the boiler and shut off the main steam valve; both were severely scalded. Some two tons of the structure were thrown into the air with terrific force and knocked a hole through the iron roof of the condenser, which is about forty four feet high. Dr. Ibrahim Effendi Fehmi, acting S. M. O., was immediately sent fort to render medical aid to the two injured engineers, and he found it necessary to remain in attendance on Mr. Warn all night. Dr. Wilson was telegraphed for to come from Railhead by special train and on arrival found the two patients progressing favorably. He left again the next day, leaving order that he should be wired for immediately if any change for the worse appeared. Mr. Archer is now much better but Mr. Warm still suffers considerably; Dr. Fehmi hopes that he will have complutely recovered in ten day's time.
El Kaimakam Longfield Bey, R.E., aoting director of the railways, went up to Sallom by special train on the 9th inst., and met Bimbashi Newcombe there, to arrange for the survey of the new line to Port Sudan. He returned to Suakin on the following day.
The British India S.S. Persian Gulf ran on to the reefs whilst attempting to come into Suakin harbour and two day passed before she could be got off. She discharged here a large consignment of rice, maize, etc., from India.
The sad nes of Mr. Gower's death at Suez was received here with great regret, more especially by Mr. Warm, with whom he has worked in the Ports, and Lights Admininistration. Mr. Gower was appointed to the Suakin condensers about a month ago.
The weather continues excessively hot and five more cases of sunstroke have occured, two of them being European workmen and three native soldiers of the railways. All have recovered.
