The latest news from the Red Sea shows that the well-timed capture of Sana on the twenty ninth anniversary of the accession of H. I. M. the Sultan of Turkey was considerably ante-dated. Taking the will for the deed, the staff at Hodeida congratulated the Padishah, on the long-desired victory over the Imam and his sectaries and rebels. The Imperial Ottoman Agency in Egypt and, we suppose, the Ottoman Embassies in Europe lost so time in communicating the good new-to the Press ; the grateful monarch conferred the order of the Imtiaz on Ahmed Faisi Pasha, decorated a troop of generals and staff officers; and, as a special token of his satisfaction, presented the officers and men of the expeditionary i force with their pay fox January. Whether these long deferred sum will now reach the troops is an interesting question. Sana was captured —or rathe-entered—on the 5th inst after the Imam Yehya had destroyed every public building and barrack in the town and removed, the stores of wheat and barley that he or his opponents had accumulated. The situation did not commend itself to the peaceful inhabitants of the district, who fled into the Aden territory as a role, and did not at all please AhmedFaisi Pasha, whose first demand was for reinforcement . His losses had not been inconsiderable. during the march from the coast to the Capital, and the Imam with a large force had merely retired to a high plateau east of Sana, and,posted in a commanding position, awaited the next move on the part of the Turkish General. His chiefs have all sworn to fight to the last against the enemy and after the execution of the Turkish prisoners that took place when Sarâ' fell, and the Imam's proclamations denouncing the Sultan as unworthy to retain the spiritual headship of Islam, they and their leader doubtless realise that "They must pay for what they played for at the.finish of the game." and will fight with the spirit of desperate men. The position must be one of considerable interest to the British authorities at Aden, who cannot view the complete suspension of trade with the Yemen and the possible extension of fighting to the Aden frontier with equanimity. It is, of course, unthinkable that any direct attempt of intervention will be made by Great Britain, but we have no doubt that the Foreign Office would welcome any possibility of mediating between the combatants. At present however mediation is a dream, for the decisive encounter between the Turks and the Imam has yet to be fought Perhaps it will never be fought—the Imam doubtless knows that the Turkish army is superior to his levies in the open field, and may attempt to wear down his opponents in a long guerilla war. Not a pleasant prospect for the Turkish Army!
The recent tension between Norway and Sweden appears to have been directly caused by the demand made by a section of the Swedish Press and nation for the dismantle-ment of the frontier fortresses of Kongsvinger and Friederikstein. In the nineties one of the wrangles that occurred every three or four years between the ill-mated partners had for its consequence a Swedish scare in Norway. The Norwegian marine was strengthened by iron-clads, small but modern, and torpedo boats, and the two fortresses named were modernised to the huge annoyance of the Swedes, who very justly complained of the hostile attitude of their partner. Now that Norway and Sweden are separate States the situation has completely changed, and while it might, have been reasonable enough to demand a promise that Norway would make no farther additions to its frontier defences, the clamor for their demolition seems an unnecessary display of offensive Chauvinism. These fortresses, too, have a great history. Often attacked, they have never surrendered, and the high spirited and independent Norwegians are not likely to regard such a demand on the part of Sweden as anything but an insult The mediation of the British Government will, we hope, find a way out of the difficulty that will prove acceptable to both states. A conflict between Sweden and Norway would probably have great consequences ; it would invite the armed intervention perhaps of Germany, anxious to dominate the Baltic perhaps of Russia, aiming at an ice-free port on the Atlantic, and hoping to inflict a blow at the same time on the Swedish people, which has steadily supported the cause of the Finns, while the possibility of a Scandinavian league would disappear for good and all As a disinterested friend of both parties, Great Britain can at all events give the beet advice to the disputants, and the lessening of the dangerous tension between the two Powers may be ascribed in part at least to the "unofficial intervention" of British diplomacy. We trust that the reports of a friendly compromise, published to-day and bearing the date of the 32nd anniversary of King Oscar ascension to the throne, may be founded in something more than hope.

As was the case last month the Customs report is again out early, and those who predicted that the administration would be unable to "keep it up" will be pleasantly disappointed. The imports for the past month totalled L.E. 1,803,691 against LE. 1,626,093 in August 1904, showing a decided increase. The imports for the period commencing on January 1 and ending on August 31, amounted to L.E. 12,740,913 against LE. 11,831,292 in the corresponding period of the past year, an increase of L.E. 909,621 in favor of 1905.
The exports, which had showed an advance for the month of July over the figures of July 1904, maintained and increased their lead over August's figures in 1904. In that month the total exports amounted to LE. 800,024. In August 1905, goods amounting to LB. 1,165,510 left the country, a balance of L.E. 365,486. The export figures for the first eight months of the year still show a certain falling off, the total value of goods exported being LE. 11,949,871 against LE. 12,687,678 in the corresponding period in 1904 but another two or three returns like those of August and July, and Egypt's exports will show an increase on the whole year.
In August, imports from Great Britain and the British Mediterranean possessions amounted to LE. 602,049, against HE. 511,691 in August 1904, while for the two-thirds of the year they amounted to L.E. 4,362,501 against L.E. 4,037,635 daring the corresponding period of the past year. French, Russian and Turkish imports show a similar increase for the eight months, but Russian imports fell off last month totalling only L.R. 43,541 against L.E. 64,795 in August last year. In the export tables for the month Great Britain shows an increase of over 80%. France, Germany, and the U.S.A. have also been good customers.
In the period comprised between New Year's day 1905 and August 31, the only notable increase of Egyptian exports to any one country is to be found in the oase of Turkey and the U. S. A. Great Britain (L E. 5,806,705 against LE 6,214,459 in 1904) Russia L E. 673.615 against L.E. 948,558, and above all Italy with only L.E. 326,375 against L.E. 705,308 are all notable examples of the decrease in value daring this period of Egyptian exports.
Mr. George W. Poss, an American by birth, resident in Cairo, and chief engineer of the Egyptian Cotton Mills in Cairo, having heard many people say that to cross the Nile near the bridges was very dangerous and almost impossible, thought he would try the experiment himself, and succeeded with comparative ease. A day so after, he swam from the new bridge at Old Cairo to Basus, which is a small town eleven and a quarter miles distant from Cairo. This feat was accomplished b two hours.
Accompanying him to prevent any mishap, and to carry Mr. Poss's clothes, was an employe of the cotton mills named Joseph de Santis.
At Old Cairo they had some difficulty in getting a boat, the Arabs refusing when they learned of his intention of swimming down the river; bat crossing the river by the ferry they managed to obtain a boat. Reading the centre of the river Mr. Poss undressed, and greatly to the astonishment of the Arabs plunged into the water.
A strong wind was blowing at the time up the river, and the boat was unable to keep pace with the swimmer ; yet they managed to keep Mr. Poss in view when he passed under the new bridge at Old Cairo, and as far as the bridge at Kasr-el-Nil, after which they lost sight of him entirely. At this point J. De Santis left the boat and taking Mr. Poss's clothes went on to Rod el Farag thinking he would find him there, and it was not without some misgivings that he failed to do so, for no one had seen a man swim past that place.
At this point J. De Santis gave up the search and Mr. Poss was left to do his best in a bathing suit. At Basus Mr. Poss went ashore, being afraid of taking cramp with no boat near to render help ; and Amin Effendi, Omdeh of Basus, kindly lent him some clothes and sent some of his men with a boat to take him back to Cairo. If the conditions are favorable, so that a boat can keep pace with him, Mr. Poss hopes very soon to attempt to swim from Cairo to the Barrage.

The S.S. Egyptian of the Westcott and Laurance Line left Malta yesterday and is due at Alexandria on Friday with general cargo from Antwerp and London.
This morning the Commercial Chamber of the Cairo Mixed Court of First Instance decided to grant the Sucreries Company benefit of the Concordat Preventif. The chief feature of the audience was the extremely dear and able speech on behalf of the application of this measure which was delivered by Maitre Carton de Wiart and lasted half an hour. At the conclusion of the speech Judge Tuck, who presided over the audience, Asked if there was any opposition. None was made and the Court adjourned at 11 a.m. to deliberate on this and several other cases. At 12.45 p.m. Judge Tuck announced that the Concordat Preventif had been granted and ordered the company to send their books into court within eight days. No mention was made whether the names of the three liquidators submitted to the court, viz. Sir Elwin Palmer, Harari Pasha and M. Dubourg, had been accepted or not. Fall particulars will be given to-morrow.
The decision of the court is fortunate from every point of view. It is the only possible means of preventing a terrible crash which would not only cause heavy losses to many of the company's creditors and to the shareholders, but would ruin the native cultivators of cane. This provisional judgment will not prevent the Parquet from having the compulsionary winding up declared later so as to take criminal proceedings against any director or official found at fault, should events demand this course.
We publish on page 4 the balance sheet of the Sucreries Company as filed before the Mixed Tribunals on Saturday. We understand that certain errors were to he found in the balance sheet as published by one of on Cairo contemporaries, which, while not invalidating the general result, might cause a certain confusion in the mind of the reader.
The recent outbreak of cholera in Russia and Germany has caused quite a scare throughout Europe, and it behoves the Sanitary Department to take prompt measures to prevent the dread malady appearing in Egypt with the return of the pilgrims from the Holy Places of Islam next season. Thera is no denying the fact that the chief homes of cholera are firstly British India, where the disease is endemic, and secondly the Hedjaz, where, however, it assumes an epidemic form. Of recent years Egypt has been visited by cholera on three different occasions. The first visitation was in 1883, when, according to the official returns, it claimed over 28,000 victims. The second outbreak was in 1895, when there were 18,133 deaths from the disease, and the third was three years ago, when the number of deaths recorded was close on 84,000. These figures are those famished by the Sanitary Department, but doubtless they are rather under than over the mortality in each case. It is worthy of note that the disease in this country has invariably broken oat in the hot month, and disappeared with the advent of cold weather, so that it is reasonable to assume that we shall be spared any visitation this year. The matter came last week before the Quarantine Board of Alexandria, which decided that no measures were at present necessary against arrivals from the northern ports of Europe.
This last invasion of Western Europe seems to have come from India, sweeping slowly and, almost unobserved, over East Europe, then through Galicia, Poland and East Prussia until it reached Dantzio, and lastly Hamburg Any introduction into Egypt through Europe seems somewhat remote, and there is no record that at any of the previous visitations it came from that quarter. On the contrary, each time it appeared in this country it was conclusively proved that it reached ns from the Red Sea ports, and it is in that direction that the sanitary authorities should turn their attention. The Quarantine Board should see that the utmost vigilance is exercised at Tor and Suez on the return of Egyptian pilgrims after the next cold weather, and it is to this board that the country looks for protection against another invasion of cholera. In our opinion there does not seem at present the slightest came for any alarm.
The Tanzim service, having decided to macadamise the roads over which are to be laid the new lines and extensions of the Cairo Tramway Company, has requested the Prisons Department to doable its usual supply of macadam. Consequent on this demand the number of prisoners ocoupied in this work at the prison of Abou Zaabel has been considerably increased.
Two years ago the Ministry of the Interior promulgated an arrete conferring on the Prisons service the right of pardoning such prisoners as had served three quarters of their term and whose conduct had been exemplary daring their detention, exception being, however, made in the case of those who had been found guilty of poisoning animals and burning crops. The Prisons Department having recently asked the above Ministry whether the act of pardon was to be also extended to those of the prisoners who are detained on charges of incendiarism of houses and shounas, has received a reply in the negative.

( From our Fort Said Correspondent).
In order to see how the new Menzaleh canal is getting on, and what were of the steamer service commencing, I paid a visit to day to the Island of Kharpooty and there spent on hour looking about me.
At the Greek church I boarded a tram, which for the modest sum of two pence took me right to the works.
We wended a somewhat bumpy way past the gas works and the sailing craft loading and discharging coastwise cargoes, on round by the new road which is to lead direct to Raswah, and from there past the sterns of numerous colliers discharging their cargoes and emitting clouds of dust. An agreable change occurred when our vehicle approached the Port Said end of the fresh water canal. Here the road took us through something over a third of a mile of palms and other vegeta tion ; leaving the plantations, which continue along the bank of the Suez Canal some 20 miles, we suddenly turned and swung over the railway lines on to toe causeway which connects the lake shore with Kharpooty. The causeway constructed some years ago of the remains of small islands and dredgings, is winding and tortuous ; twisting from side to side, and having an average width of ton yard, with tram lines throughout its length, flanked with wooden groyne-like erections to prevent the sea encroachments, it, after passing through two toll gates, eventually lands one at the Island. From a distance the village, built on this narrow strip of land, seems to grow out of the water itself. The lake shows numerous sailing boats, dahabiehs and fishing vessels, many of which are laying at anchor close to the tram terminus, unloading into trolleys which carry their cargoes to the town of Port Said. Approaching the Island I saw to the left several vessels in course of construction, huge channel marks erected here and there, marking out, with the aid of small buoys, the limits of the lm. 60c.m. channel, which is practically completed, in a direct line to Matarieh. A careful look round the ground, which is enclosed, and which holds the workshop, revealed two pretty little paddle-wheel tugs, a large two-deck passenger vessel, three lighters of great length and shallow draft, capable of carrying some 300 tons of cargo each, a number of smaller craft, and a large boat containing one of Gwynne's powerful centrifugal pumps, which I suppose was at work during the dredging.
I was told that all would be in regular working order and the service a fact, by the end of this year, when the vessels now at Matarieh would join forces with those I saw to-day, to enable a regular daily passenger and cargo service to be kept up. The vessels themselves look very well, and I promise myself an early trip across the lake, a trip which to-day, means a lull day and more if wind is unfavorable.
From the sheds and worships extends a line of dirty and very dilapidated Arab houses, all in a broken-down condition, and crowded with the members of the large families of the fishing-boat owners, and others. One large shed contained some thousands of freshly caught eels which had been landed an hour or so before, and in front of the large heaps were seated two men busily cleaning the fish previous to sending them to Port Said, where I believe the majority of the eels caught on the lake, are frozen and shipped to Europe.
I understand that there will be a service of of trains running from Matarieh to Mansourah in connection with the lake sevice, and that, as the Matarieh canal is now quite completed, the dredgers which have cut it will, in a short time, commence operations on the Damietta branch. This, I understand, will prove easier, for there is supposed to be deeper water and a less number of islets to negotiate along the west shore of the lake than between Matarieh and Kharpooty.
The British Cotton Growing Association denies emphatically a statement which has appeared in a number of home, newspapers, alleging that the Association is only paying the natives at their model cotton-growing plantations in West Africa 6d. per week, and that a condition of semi-slavery prevails among their employés. The wages actually paid, the Association adds, are at the standard rate current in West Africa, viz, 6d. to 1s. per day,and the conditions which obtain are known to, and cordially approved of by, the local representatives of the British Government, and by the native chiefs. The Association further states that, so far as they have been able to trace them, the allegations in question seem to have emanated from Belgian or American sources.

At the important stage which has now been reached in the negotiations between France and Germany on the subject of Morocco— with the spectre of war apparently laid—there is little doubt that the great majority of Frenchmen heartily endorse the cool-headed and practical statesmanship of M. Rouvier. German diplomatists had evidently counted upon an outburst of Chauvinistic feeling in France as an outcome of their provocative action in Morocco, but they failed to allow for the fundamental changes which have affected the spirit of the French nation since l870.
For more than thirty years France has turned resolutely aside not only from all policy of adventure but from all adventurers with a policy. The ignominious collapse of Bonlangism was followed by the gradual withering away to a state bordering upon nothingness of all the old parties of Royal or Imperial pretension. The cause of the Orleanists, which even in 1884 had some claims to popular recognition, makes to-day no wider or stronger appeal to sympathies of the French voter than it did ten years ago the now defunct Legitimist Party, or ''Whites of Spain," and the political hopes of the Bonapartists are on the same level. An annual banquet at the Continental Hotel, that unctio in extremis of all the old lost causes of France, will soon be the sole visible demonstration of their flickering vitality. Even the German Emperor, who has evidently at times conceived the hope that his Imperial strenu-ousness would rouse an echo of sympathy and admiration in that corner of the French heart which is still warm with the memory of Napoleon, must be convinced by now how vain was that dream, how deaf is the French ear to all the blandishments of latter-day Imperialism.
France is to day firmly Republican, and Re publican in an intensely democratic sense. She undoubtedly needs and desires peace, and will continue to maintain it to the best of her ability. This, indeed, has been her policy ever since the present Republic was founded. Her military Bystem, which is far more comprehensive that it was at the time of the last war, brings home to every family, irrespective of class, the terrible responsibilities which war entails and the danger of playing with fire. She knows, moreover, that a war, even if it were victorious, would mean the temporary suspension of many of her democratic liberties, while should it be disastrous the political door would be opened wide to all those importunate pretenders and sinister adventurers whom she has hitherto so successfully looked out.
To-day the country is master of its own destinies, and fully conscious of the fact No dynastic interests, as in 1870, can plunge the nation into war against its will or the promptings of its better sense. There is no Empress to proclaim "C'est ma guerre !" And with the disappearance of the old Monarchical régimes the methods and spirit of French diplomacy have been greatly transformed. The Mornys and the Gramonts have been replaced by the Delcassés and the Rouviers, representatives of a bourgeoisie -brilliant, in-tellectual, and highly cultivated, but born and bred in the traditions of the French peasantry, itself an agricultural bourgeoisie, and with none of the special failings or fascinations of the old French aristocracy. German diplomacy, on the other hand, unsoiled by plebeian contact, remains, in its undeniable efficiency, tho aristocratic and strictly conventional instrument that it always was, allowance being made for occasional eccentricities due to the Emperor's personal inspiration. It is a diplomacy with an acute sense of amour propre ; the word "prestige" is for ever on its lips. And being more of a Court functionary than a public servant, it is capable of exaggerating the importance of an Imperial whim to the detriment of the national interests.
To dynastic extravagances on the part of 1er rulers, France, with her well-established democratic institutions, is in nowise exposed any longer ; she has no high-flown Quixotic ideals to live up to, no feudal traditions to maintain. Her President, a simple peasant's son, on State occasions wears a silk hat, bat never, under any circumstances, the panoply of war. And in her dealings with other nations, in her diplomacy, France of the Third Republic has displayed in a marked degree the same broad spirit of democracy from which all element of fantastic amour propre has been absent, which a rational sense of self-interest has alone ruled. Thus she was able to recognise with M. Delcasse, the value of a cordial understanding with England, her best commercial customer. And in the various arrangements she has made with other European Powers, it is her simple everyday welfare which she has been pursuing, undeterred by the promptings of those who, from interested motives, would have liked to fan her old quarrels into a flame. To the Francs of to-day what is the cost of a small sacrifice of amour propre ? It means as much and as little as it would to the average French peasant cheapening a pig in the market
But though the spirit of the French peasant be devoid of false pride and
petty vanity, it is tenacious in the extreme. Economy, taciturn sobriety,
untiring perseverance in the path of gain, a deep-rooted materialism,
combined with an inborn and carefully nurtured cunning, are among its most
marked features. Balzac, in "Les Paysane," and Zola, in "La Terre," have
drawn somewhat overcharged portraits of the French peasant's
acquisitiveness, but, without going to extremes, it is yet easy to recognise
that the dogged determination and astuteness of the French peasant
temperament enter as important elements into the plain democratic spirit by
which the national councils of France are now guided. The prompt resignation
of M. Delcasse showed more than anything else that the fortunes of France
are no longer dependent on a single man or a single issue. "Your coin, is I
bad!" shouts the angry bargainer, seeking a
In so brief a period as fifteen years from the date when active occupation of the immense territory now known as Rhodesia began, that very peaceable scientific organisation, the British Association, makes a pleasure trip by rail to the rolling Zambesi, and Professor Darwin performs the ceremony of opening the recently constructed bridge over the Victoria Falls. Portuguese, Mashona, and Matabele antagonism to British colonisation have alike succumbed to the masterful genius of one great Englishman. It was Mr. Rhodes who, with clear prophetic vision, discerned the latent possibilities of the mighty province so rightly named after him. It was he, too, whose daring mind projected and carried forward the Comprehensive railway system which has rendered it practicable for the British Association to participate in the opening of the gigantic bridge at Victoria Falls. But his enterprising spirit went far beyond even that in its lofty •oaring. Already railhead is nearly 150 miles north of the great river, and before very long, connection will be formed with the Congo State on the one side and with Nyasaland on the other. All of the most serious difficulties now lie behind, and an immense stride has been made towards the complete realisation of that daring "dream"—the Cape to Cairo trank line. Of a truth, as has been well said, the great work of great men usually lives after them. Baring his life Mr. Rhodes steadily persevered with the splendid work to which he had set his strong hand, and it is entirely due to his magnificent clearness of sight and tenacity of purpose that through tickets to the Zambesi from London can now be obtained. It is one of the grandest achievements ever accomplished by individual genius, and as the British savants viewed the wonders of the stupendous Fall, their thoughts must have dwelt on the heroic adventurer who now sleeps among the stern solitudes of the Matopo Hills.

If the conclusions as to the origin and history of the mysterious rains in Rhodesia pat before the British Association at Bulawayo by Mr. Randall MacIver are correct, they are not relics of ancient Ophir, and we mast seek elsewhere for the region where King Solomon pro-pared his stores of gold and precious stones. Mr. MacIver went to Rhodesia last April, under the auspices of the Association and the Rhodes trustees, and examined minutely the reins of Inyanga, Niekerk's farm (16 miles north of Inyanga), Khami, Dhlo Dhlo, Unatali, Inriza, and Zimbabwe. After careful investigation he has (says the "Times" correspondent) decided that none of the rains in Southern Rhodesia are older than the fifteenth or sixteenth century, and that they are the handiwork of African natives of the negro or negroid race under the dynasty known by the collective name of Monomotapa. The bases of these conclusions were formed on the following data:—
The buildings are essentially of a native kind or type common to-day; nearly all retain some original wooden stakes embedded in the walls ; there is no trace of inscription on any of the ruins ; stone and iron implements were found together ; neither the buildings nor the other articles found show traces of early Oriental or European influence ; finally, the discovery of pieces of blue and white Nankin china and other articles of medieval manufacture in the lowest parts of the foundations proves that such commodities were the object of barter before the buildings were erected.
Mr. MacIver maintains that the reins were originally fortified places, usually enclosing a kopje built in the form of a rough ellipse following mainly the contour of the surrounding country. The so-called slave pits, described as pit dwellings, were originally citadels of their strong places round which concentric circles of walls were built.
The London City magistrates do an immense amount of good work without adequate recognition. Their experience of the world — that is, their experience of the average man — often enables them to compare favorably with his Majesty's judges, some of whom have devoted so much time to the study of the law that they have had none to spare for the inevitable ignorance, the trials and troubles, of their less cultivated brethren. Few judges can understand how any man can be ignorant of the law. One City magistrate, Sir Joseph Renals, confessed the other day that, though everybody was supposed to know the law, be did not, nor did he know anybody who does ; and from that point of view he declined to convict a respectable man who had been hauled before him for unwittingly transgressing the regulations of a railway company by using an expired return ticket. At the same sitting his knowledge of social conditions drove Sir Joseph to sympathise with a convicted thief who had been driven into crime a second time by the impossibility of keeping a situation. "I am sorry to say," said the magistrate, "that I know what you tell me is true. Many men who are unfortunately in your position, when they do get a situation and it is found they have been convicted, invariably have to leave. It is very hard, but it is a very censorious world, and seems never to overlook a fault" The man had to go to prison but a little sympathy of this magisterial kind will probably do him more good than the punishment
Although the British sea-angler has no op-portunity of making personal acquaintance with that monstrous fish, the tarpon, there are parts of the coast where the shark makes a fairly satisfactory substitute. As in the other case, strong tackle has to be used, and plenty of line to play the fierce fighter when hooked A Lancashire angler, who lately secured about a dozen off the Yorkshire littoral, prescribes 200 yards of tanned hemp line, and a stout eleven-foot rod, as suitable gear ; with this apparatus and half of a mackeral as bait on each hook, the seafisher can make sure of lively sport. Sometimes, the so-called shark it is really a large species of dog-fish—-runs to 150lbs., but these are the giants of the family, the average weight being very much less. But whether big or little, the voracious ' tigers of the sea" play sad havoc with its finny population, and on that account alone the sport deserves encouragement To fill up time when bites are few and far between, the angler can amuse himself with trying for whiting or any other fish that happens to be in evidence, using a lighter rod and tackle. Every "school" is sure to have seme sharks in attendance, and it will not be long before the whirling reel on the heavier rod gives notice that a "toper''—the local pseudonym of the big dog-fish-is hooked. It makes off at express speed, sometimes running out 150 yards of line, and even when exhausted by its strenuous efforts to escape, the gallant "tiger" fights hard to the very last.
