FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1905.
We should like to call the attention of our readers to the appeal published in oar issue of yesterday on behalf of the National Committee for the establishment of sanatoria for workmen suffering from tuberculosis. The importance of the subject from a national point of view is enormous, for no country suffers more than Great Britain from this terrible malady, and in no country are the signs of physical degeneration more apparent among sections of the working classes. The yearly loss of life among the working classes of London alone from this cause equals the death roll of the greatest battles that have been fought, and the direct and indirect loss to the community must be proportionately heavy. Moreover the partial segregation of oases, which is so necessary in this disease cannot be applied in the case of the sick among the working classes, for financial reasons. The great employers of labour in Germany have constructed sanatoria for the special use of their workmen and have benefited both themselves and the nation. The German insurance companies have followed suit and in consequence the mortality from the disease in Germany has enormously decreased in the last fifteen years.
The present movement aims at securing the support of the Friendly Societies, after the first expense of finding a site and patting up suitable premises has been met There is to be no constant appeal to public, and private liberality, as is too often the case in England. Charity will see that the initial expenses are met, and the class for whose special benefit the sanatoria are provided will maintain them through the medium of the great Friendly Societies, Trades Unions, and cognate organisa- tions. The self respect of the working classes will be maintained, for those who profit by the scheme will know that they owe the benefits they receive from it, in a large measure, to their own thrift and self-help. Indiscriminate charity is useless and dangerous, but a combination of charity and business -the intellectual quantities being allowed to plan and carry out the good work which the emotions of sympathy and pity have first suggested—cannot fail to do good to all whom it affects. The movement, therefore, deserves the utmost support from all classes,aud its success may yet furnish our Sanitary authorities with precious data as to the best means of meeting the extension of the disease in Egypt
About a month ago, an outbreak of cholera occurred in the region where the provinces of West Prussia and Posen border upon the Russian Empire. The outbreak cannot be called an epidemic, for the disease has neither spread to other districts of the German Empire, nor has it claimed many victims in the neighbourhood where it first appeared. From day to day only a few new cases axe observed, and the number of fatal attacks up to the present has amounted to no more than 40% of the whole. In towns outside the restricted cholera area, only such persons have become infected with the disease, who have recently travelled from or to the district in question. By strictly isolating each patient, the spreading of the cholera to other localities has been successfully guarded against. As the weather is now becoming cooler, and since according to all experience the cholera spreads with great rapidity only daring the hot season, it may now be hoped that the disease will soon come to an end also in the frontier territories of West Prussia and Posen.
That the efforts to localise this outbreak of cholera have been so far successful—and as we hope will be so for the future—is due in the first place to the strict preventive regulations, which have been enforced. One of the very first precautions adopted was to provide a number of supervising stations along the rivers in the infected area, in order that all persons passing to and fro on the barges might be made to undergo a medical examination, so that if necessary in case of any suspicions of cholera, they could be stopped and at once isolated in the temporary cholera hospitals provided for that purpose. As the cholera first appeared among the people living on barges, it was necessary to watch the river population especially carefully. When any suspicious case was noticed, not only was the sick person isolated, bat also those of his immediate neighbourhood. Such a process of isolation on a large scale took place in the case of the railway brigade, which had sent two complete companies (500 men) to take part in the fortress manoeuvres at Thorn, a place lying within the infected area. Owing to one of there 500 soldiers having shown symptoms of cholera in Thorn, the whole of the 500 men on their return to Berlin were sent to the cholera isolation barracks, and placed for eight days under the strictest supervision ; and no exception was made in the case of officers or non-commissioned officers with regard to this very unpleasant restriction of their personal freedom. In short, precautions were taken everywhere on the principle that an excess of care was far preferable to too little, in the case of such a frightful sickness as cholera. It is worthy of remark also that from the very first no attempt was made to hash up the real State of affairs. On the contrary, in order to put the public on guard for their own safety, all the measures adopted were discussed with the utmost publicity, and all cases of cholera were immediately announced through the Press. It is a great advantage, and of great importance for the foreign trade of Germany, that the district infected with cholera is a purely agricultural one, and without any connection with trade or industry. All districts, which are in touch with foreign trade, whether through manufacture or export, have remained free from cholera.

The death took place at Croydon, on Septem ber 14, of Colonel Thomas Tolly, V.D., com-mandant of the 4th V.B. East Surrey Regiment. His first connexion with the Volunteers dates from 1861, when he joined the 4th City of London, Foresters, Rifles, with whom he was on duty when the Queen, then Princess Alexandra, arrived in London. After service with the London Irish Rifles and the Tower Hamlets Rifle Brigade, he took command of the 4th East Surrey Regiment in 1899. He acted as the honorary secretary of what was known in 1883 as the Grand Military Tournament at Islington, in connexion with which he worked in active co-operation with Lord Methuen; and he was afterwards appointed the permanent secretary of the Royal Military Tournament, holding the office until 1895, when presentations from Army officers were made to him and his wife in recognition of his work. Colonel Tally was one of the organisers of the English women's Jubilee offering to Queen Victoria in 1887; and in recognition of his work in this connexion he received from her Majesty the silver commemoration medal and a signed photograph, together with a letter of thanks. Colonel Tally also acted as secretary to the Egyptian war fund, and was for some time secretary of the Home District Tactical and War Game Society. Only on the previous Tuesday evening it was announced that the King bad conferred the Victorian Order upon him.
Our Cairo correspondent informs us that a new company, which will be known as the Anglo-Egyptian Land Allotment Company, has been formed and will issue its prospectus in the latter half of October. The capital of the new company will amount to L.E. 500,000 in L.E. 4 shares, and its operations will, we understand, be confined to the purchase of land which it will sell in allotments of all sizes to the peasantry ; and to the lease of lands which it will sub-let after improvements, to individuals who are not in a position to buy, but can afford to pay a moderate rent. The company will be purely an Egyptian concern, its head-quarters will be in Cairo, though we hear that a locality has not yet been selected. This, however, is of small importance to the public compared with the constitution of the board of directors.
This body consists of three British and five Native members. Sir William Willcocks will be chairman of the new company, its manager will be Captain Westrop of the Daira Sanieh, while the third British member of the board holds an important post in one of the Egyptian banks, whose name will be published on receipt of the authority of the bank directors.
The native members of the board are Hassan Pasha Asem, late grand master of ceremonies to H.H. the Khedive, Hassan Pasha Abd el Razzak, a notable of Minieh and member of the Legislative Council, Mahmoud Bey Abd el Gaffar, also a member of the Legislative Council and a notable of Menoufieh, Mahmoud Bey Rassim, ex-president of the Assiout Court of Appeal and member of the committee of Judi-cial Surveillance, and Mohamed Bey Metwalli, a notable of Gharbieh and a well-known land expert
The promoters of the company are Messrs. Yussef Bey Sadik and Co. Yussef Bey Sadlik has lately visited London and Paris on behalf of the now company, which will, we understand, be brought out through the Anglo-Egyptian Bank, Ltd. Maitre Carton de Wiart will be the legal adviser of the company, the formation of which has greatly interested financial circles both in Cairo and Alexandria. The subscription will probably open shortly before the end of next month.
The experts appointed by the "juge com-missaire," Mr. Somerville Tuck, to enquire into the actual condition of the Sucreries Company are M. Fonrneron Bey, engineering expert and engineer in chief to the Daira, Sanieh, Nonrrisson Bey, agricultural expert, and M.Sampaolo. whose knowledge of accounts and book-keeping is universally recognised in Egypt. The judge's choices seem to us to be admirable, and by the 4th October the experts he has appointed should be in a position to inform the meeting convoked on that day what the situation really is. Once more the shareholder must wait.
The charge brought against Ahmed Fouad, editor of the "Sayeka" or the "Thunderer'' by Sheik Ali Yusef, the well-known editor and proprietor of "El Moayad," will come on for hearing before the tribunal of Saida Zenab on Monday next. The original charge, as mentioned in our issue of the 12th instant, was attempt at blackmailing, but the Procurer General, to whom the dossier of the case was submitted by the Parquet, decided that there was no evidence to support the graver charge before the Assize Court. The accused will now be tried for the minor one of libel.
The funeral of the late M. Aziz Georges Mabardi, the well-known partner in the firm of Steinmann, Mabardi and Co., of Alexandria, who died at Mammern, Switzerland, took place on Wednesday afternoon. The service was held at the Syrian Catholic Church in the Rue Debbane, to which the body had been removed on its arrival by the Florio-Rubattino mail boat, and was attended by a very large number of the many friends of the deceased. After the ceremony the fanerai cortège proceeded along the Rue Cherif Pasha to the Syrian Catholic Cemetery, where the body was laid in its last resting place. Three carriages filled with most beautiful floral tributes formed part of the precession, and there were also many wreaths on the bier.
The Gouvernorat of Alexandria have issued the following notice:—
The Municipality having supplied a number of cork belts with ropes for the use of anyone wishing to go to the help of any person in danger of drowning, the public are hereby informed that these belts are kept, at their disposal, in every Coast Guard Station and small post on the sea-shore between Agami and Aboukir.
A number of light life buoys (to be thrown to any person in distress) have also been ordered, and when received will be placed at the disposal of the public, in the same places and for the same purpose.
The Westcott BS. Egyptian arrived to-day from Antwerp, London and Malta with general cargo.
Mr. pro Consul Laferla reports that the trade of Suez for the year 1904 amounted to L.E. 1,486,420 showing an increase of L.E. 161,182 over the figures of the previous year. Of the imports, coal fell off, only 10,497 tons being landed against 55,644 tons in 1903 and we do not notice any reason given for this curious fall. The imports of tobacco, spices and live cattle and sheep showed an increase, 15,202 more sheep and cattle being imported than in 1903. The prevalence of cattle plague in Egypt in 1904 explains this increase, while the failure of the Indian indigo crop in Madras and Bengal brought down the import very considerably. Cotton twist yam and raw silk showed an increase, and raw sugar, mostly from Batavia and the East, was imported to be refined in Egypt for re-exportation.
The export trade from Suez for the year 1904 shows an increase of L.E.47,599 as compared with the previous year. This increase is attributed mainly to the steady demand and the revival of trade generally with the Red Sea and Eastern ports.
The exportation of gum was 6,510 tons, valued at L.E. 146,522. This shows an increase of 2,450 tons, valued at L.E. 58,781, over the previous year. Nearly one-fourth of the above quantity was shipped to France, the remainder being distributed between the United Kingdom, Germany and America. 17,848 tons of Egyptian cane sugar, valued at L.E. 191,149 were exported during the year 1904, less than the previous year. Of the above quantity, 12,217 tons were sent to India and other British possessions in the Far East; Turkish Arabia taking 4,910 tons and Massawah 420 tons. 13,346 kilos of ivory, valued at L.E. 7,721 were exported. This shows a decrease of 1,198 kilos., valued at L.E. 1,316, compared with the previous year. Nearly the whole of the above quantity was shipped to the United Kingdom. 13,346 kilos of ostrich feathers, valued at L.E, 7,721 were exported, as against 5,454 kilos., valued at L.E. 11,217 in 1903; the United Kingdom took nearly the whole of the above quantity. The customs valuation of ostrich feathers has been considerably reduced. This accounts for the increase in weight and the decrease in value for the year 1904. 159,000 kilos, of cotton were exported, valued at L.E. 10,037, more than one-half of which was shipped to India, the remainder to China. 24,808 ardebs of wheat, valued at L.E. 20,484, were exported, as against 26,011 ardebs, valued at L.E. 24,153, in the previous year.
The total value of goods which passed in transit through Suez was L.E. 21,392. Of this amount nearly one-half came from the United Kingdom, and the remainder from China and Eastern possessions.

Beyrout, September 15. A long-felt need that Beyrouth has required for years is at last to be realised. Locomotion lies at the root of economic development and is essential to the creation of populous industrial and commercial centres, while for already fairly large towns, which like Beyrout, have grown simultaneously in area and population,—Beyrout being like a vast village, several of its houses being surrounded with more or less large gardens, even in central quarters — a superior mode of locomotion, such as an electric tramway, is of vital importance. From east to west Beyrout measures over three miles long and from north to south over two miles wide, and this is considerable for a town whose population is not more than 120,000 souls. The initiator of the present scheme is Mr. Selim Eid, who, indeed, bad conceived the humbler plan of a tramway drawn by animal power, as far back as 1895, and who, after several disappointments and failures, has by his perseverance and energy, finally attained his end, and in a more successful manner than he had ever dreamed of. When Mr. Pilling obtained the concession for the Caiffa-Damascus railway, the so-called débris of which has since been bought up for, the Hamidié-Hedjaz railway, he got in the same firman a secondary concession for a tramway tor Beyrout, but with animal traction. This, concession Mr. Eid bought up, and after many reverses of fortune, he finally found the necessary capital for the realisation of the scheme; but as he was lately going through the, final formalities at Constantinople, a Belgian company, finding apparently in the scheme. alluring prospects of profit, stepped in to oust Mr. Eid's company, and to attain their end, proposed to the Turkish Government the superior mode of locomotion by electricity, and, to further engage the Sultan's favor, offered to make a donation of L.T. 10,000 to the Hamidié-Hedjaz railway, in which the Sultan takes such a deep and personal interest There was nothing left for Mr. Bid's company but to concede the same terms. The rival company, however, persisted keenly in the competition, and made a higher hid of L.T. 2,000 more, but thanks to the influence that Mr. Eid had at his back, his rivals' second offer was declined, on the delicate ground that the matter could not be brought down to the level of a public auction.
Armed with vizierial orders, Mr. Eid came with the engineers to Beyrout to discuss matters with the Vali and the Municipality. Our governor, being an enlightened man, of course lent his full support to a public enterprise calculated to affect so deeply the future prosperity of the town and its environs, and the welfare of the inhabitants. The original plan of the company was to bisect the town with two long lines crossing each other at the square, one to start from near the Lighthouse at Ras Beyrouth, ran by the Syrian Protestant College, then along the Deaconesses road, then the barracks, the square, and on through the Dog River road, up to the bridge near the Lebanese frontier, while the second line is to start from before the Custom House in front of the leading-place, wind round Khan Antoun Bey, then up to the barracks, the square, thence northward along the Damascus Road to Furn El Shebbak, again at the Lebanese frontier. These of course are vital lines, but the Vall remarked with justice that the benefits accruing therefrom would be derived chiefly by the Christian quarters, and as the Moslems were in almost equal proportion it was only fair that they should also receive their share from a public enterprise of this nature, where-fore he proposed that another trank line should be laid along the main road that passes through Al Bashoura, one of the most populous and important Moslem quarters, occupying the south western hill of the town ; to which the concessionaires reasonably ac-quiesced. The Vali then further proposed that a small branch should be extended to the municipal hospital and school of industry, the foundation of which was lately inaugurated with such solemnity on the occasion of the anniversary of the Sultan's accession. These institutions are specially dear to the Vali's heart, for the original conception and the materialisation thereof, such as the collection of fends etc., are mainly his, and he looks to them as memorials, to live after him, of bis philanthropy and his devotion to his Imperial Master. Again the concession-naires acceded to this demand of the Governor, who, encouraged by their complaisance made to them a third proposal, which, however, could not admit of the same obliging acquiescence, inasmuch as it involves an expenditure of about £30,000. This represents the cutting of a straight and wide road from the Custom House right through the old town, emerging on the other side near the Maronite Cathedral of St. George, opposite the convent of the Sisters of Charity. This part of the old town, consisting as it does of an agglomeration of old buildings mostly several stories high, thè cutting of the wide road proposed would necessarily cause the demolition of a great deal of property, and the L.T. 80,000 demanded by the Vali from the concessionaires represents a loan to be contracted by the municipality for expropriation account, and to be sank in a certain term of years. Despite the guarantees of municipal revenues, the concessionaires were quite justified in their reserve, considering the comparative largeness of the sum, and the heavy indebtedness of the municipality. They nevertheless promised to take into consideration the question of a smaller loan, say of
£10,00 This demand of the Vali is indicative of the progressive spirit that actuates his actions, and a great deal of courage on his part, for the execution of such a scheme is likely to create a storm of opposition on the part of the proprietors of those old buildings, most of whom are more or less illiterate Moslems of the old conservative type. Had not one of the pro-gressive and enlightened Valis of Beyrout undertaken a similar task, and actually started the work of enlargement of the Souk E Fashkha, and had finally to stop halfway. The cutting through of that thoroughfare would have shortened distances considerably and proved invaluable to the general traffic. There had been some differences between the engineers and the municipality. The former had proposed to macadamise that part of the road only on which the rails are to be laid, but as our roads are on the whole in a wretched condition and have not even a thin foundation of pebble layer, such partial repair might prove a serious obstacle to the general traffic, on account of the inequalities of level that would result. I have since heard that this point was at last settled satisfactorily . The total length of the lines according to the present plan is to be about ten kilometres, and I believe the company will have the option of certain extensions. The motor force is to be probably hydraulic. It is not known yet which of the waterfalls will be chosen, that of Anteliss or Nahr El Kalb. Both are said to have been found sufficiently powerful for the instalment of the company's electric plant. I have been told by one connected with Mr. Bid that if the company should meet with difficulties, in obtaining the use of either of these waterfalls, they would finally decide on petroleum for the production of electricity. The limit accorded for the completion of the work of construction is said to be one year end four months.
On the basis of snob an agreement as roughly sketched above Mr. Eid and engineers sailed last week for Constantinople with a regular Mazbeda from the municipality. What is needed now is the final Irade, which Mr. Eid has every chance of getting, in view of the influential support that he has from high quarters at the Capital.
Every intelligent man in Beyrout wishes Mr. Eid success in his scheme which if realised will certainly prove an incalculable benefit to Beyrout, and a lasting memorial to the foresight, perseverance, and untiring , of one of its distinguished inhabitants.
We do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions expressed by our correspondents but we wish, in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit - within certain necessary limits - free dicussion.
To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette.
Sir,---I will be pleased if you will publish the following with regard to your article "The Scandinavian Quarrel" in your issue of the 19th inst Sweden has never demanded the dismantling of the old Norwegian fortresses of Kongsvinger and Fredrikatain, but the question now raised by Sweden concerns the new fortresses constructed by Norway on the frontier since 1890, and which dominate railways and roads on the Swedish territory.
Sweden will no longer tolerate what no other nation in the world would stand ; fortresses which from the frontier's immediate closeness could cannonade extensive districts of the neighbouring country.
The fortresses of Fredrikstein and Kongs-ringer can be considered as the legitimate protection, but the frontier fortress erected since 1890 as illegitimate threats.
Sweden has not thought it necessary to erect fortresses on the frontier against Norway as a united state but now when the separation of the two countries has to take place, owing to the Norwegian revolution of the 7th June. Sweden considers a neutral zone a better and more justified guarantee of peace between the two countries than the erection of fortresses on the Swedish territory opposite the frontier fortresses quite unneccessarily constructed by Norway.
I have the honor to be, Sir, Yours faithfully,
BREMEN.

Il est d'opinion assez répandue ioi que les émoluments des hauts fonctionnaires en Egypt e sont excessifs. Sans disouter ce que peut avoir de fondé une telle critique, tout à fait m*rt placée en ce qui concerne une série d'hommos éminents qui ont rendu au pays des services inappréciables, je ne puis m'empêoher de la trouver dans certains cas amplement justifiée
Les administrateurs-délégués des sucreries, qui viennent de se montrer d'une complaisance incompréhensible vis-à-vis de leur président au détriment d'une foule d'aotionnaires, touchent chacun cent mille francs, soit ensemble trois cent mille francs. Les directeurs, qui n'ont pss été étrangers aux derniers incidents, jouissent d'un traitement de 45 à 60.000 franos chacun.
C'est beaucoup trop. Au siège social, la situation se trouve encore aggravée par le système de cumul de sinécures réservées à dos créatures des administrateurs-délégués.
On sait combien ce système est immoral pour avoir servi à stigmatiser dans l'histoire un scandale qui eut lien sous la Restauration. 11 est donc superflu d'insister.
Qu'il me suffise d'émettre pour le moment le vœu que l'œuvre d'épuration, inaugurée : i timidement, se poursuive résolument sous la direction désintéressée des trois contrôleurs nommés par le tribunal du Caire.

M. Tuck, juge-commissaire, a fixé au 4 octobre l'audience oü les experts devront donner connaissance de leur premier rapport sur la situation.
Ces experts viennent d'être nommés; cesont: MM. Nourrisson bey, ingénieur agronome, M. Foumeron bey, ingénieur en chef de la Daïra Sanieb, bien connu de nos lecteurs, et Sampaol ), le sympathique syndic expert du Tribunal mixte, professeur de comptabilité. Etant donnée la compétence reconnue de ces trois messieurs, il faut reconnaître que M. Tuck ne pouvait faire un meilleur choix.
Une assemblée extraordinaire sera tenue à Paris, le 10 octobre, avec cet ordre du jour :
Rapport du Conseil d'Administration et exposé de de la situation ;
Délibération et vote sur la proposition de réduction du capital social et de relèvement du dit capital, par l'émission d'actions privilégiées, dont la souscription serait réservée exclusivement aux actionnaires ;
Modifications aux statuts, nécessitées par l's décisions précitées.
Se conformant à la proposition du Kaïma-kam, Cobbe Bey, commandant de la Police, la Municipalité a fourni un certain nombre de ceintures de sauvetage et des cordes pour être utilisées par quioonque voudrait porter seoours aux personnes en péril de se noyer. Les dites oeintures se trouvent à la disposition du public dans chaque station ou poste relevant de l'Administration des Gardes-Côtes, sis sur la plage, entre El Agamf et Aboukir.
Un certain nombre de bouées légères a été aussi commandé, (pour être lancées à toute personne en détresse ;) et, dès leur réœption, elles seront distribuées aux endroits susmentionnés pour être utilisées par le public à cet effet.

Sans causes bien apparentes, autres que la continuation des réalisations et l'approche de la liquidation de fin du mois, notre marché persiste dans une inaction à peu près complète.
Les transactions se sont bornées aux Banque d'Athènes, Sucreries, Estâtes, Anglo Amerioan Nile et Markets.
En ce qui concerne les grosses valeurs, la tendance est plutôt faible. C'est ainsi que la Banque Nationale fléchit de 27 3/4 à 27 5/8 et la Béhéra de 43 à 42 3/4.
Quant à la Daïra, elle reste stationnaire à 28, mais elle est offerte à ce prix sans acheteurs.
Certaines petites valeurs subissent le contrecoup de cette ré&otion générale. Les Estâtes restent faibles à 1 5/16, le Trast à 1 13/32 et l'Inveatment également à 1 13/32. L'Oasis perd même 1/16 en tombant à 1 3/16. De oes divers titres, il n'y a guère que les Estâtes qui aient donné lieu à un certain nombre d'échanges, d'ailleurs peu importants.
Il y a une reprise eeusible sur la Banque d'Athènes dont le prix remonte de 129 à 130}. La oote de Paris nous est arrivée à 133.
Bien que les recettes n'aient encore rien d'encourageant, les Markets continuent à hausser de 25 à 25/6 en prévision de la prochain ouverture des marchés.
Le mouvement est encore plus satisfaisant en Anglo'American Nile dont le cours reprend de 5 9/16 à 5 11/16, avec affaires.
Les Sucreries donnent lieu à on bon mouvement avec une hausse dans le cours de 52 à 66. On clôture acheteurs à 55 1/2 pour les titres livrables immédiatement.
La Delta Land hausse également de 2 19/32 à 2 5/8.
Par contre, l'Ordinary Khédivial Mail fléchit de 24 à 23/6 vendeur*.

A correspondent writes to the "Times" as follows:—
Of all railway undertakings in his empire, none lies nearer to the Saltan's heart than the construction of the Hedjaz Railway, which will ultimately render his communications with the Sacred Places of Arabia and the transport of his troops independent of maritime highways. On September l.Kiazim Pasha, the commander of the 5th Turkish Army Corps, declared a new section of the Hedjaz Railway, 30 kilometres in length, open to traffic, and the camp at Ma'an was, doubtless, the scene of patriotic demonstrations in honor of the Saltan's accession day. Early in October the Deraa-Haifa branch of the line, the only section which is likely to be of much economic importance, will be completed, and the Turkish military authorities and Herr Meissner, the able German engineer who is responsible for the construction of the line, will be able to look with satisfaction on a successful year's work. South of Ma'an the engineering difficulties are not great There is nothing to match the series of steep gradients which the railway climbs above 'Amman, or the ravines crossed by a huge viaduct on the east bank of the Jordan, and all railway material required for the south extension of the Hamidieh-Hedjaz railway will be Bent up to railhead far more cheaply and rapidly than in the past, when every sleeper came op from Beyrout by the French company's Lebanon railway to Damascus, and paid a rather heavy freight charge into the bargain.
The railway will reach the Hedjaz in another three years, unless the prophecies of an Arab upheaval are fulfilled, and though, taken as a whole, it will never pay, its military importance, more especially when it is linked with the Anatolian and Baghdad systems, must be obvious to any student of Eastern politics. Its defensive value, in the case of an outbreak in the Hedjaz, will be immense ; it may perhaps be used for offensive purposes, and even to-day, after making every deduction for bad management on the part of ignorant or venal subordinates, it can transport a fully equipped division to railhead in less than a month. About 20,000 Syrian Redifs (reserve) and Nizam (regulars) were entrained at Damascus or'Ammam, concentrated at Ma'an, and marched to Akaba in little over a month this spring. The French company's Damascus-Mezerib line supplied any deficiencies in rolling stock, the German railway officials successfully averted collisions, and though the Redifs lacked equipment and suffered, as Turkish reservists alone can suffer, the line was shown to be a valuable military asset.
Some of the critics of the Ottoman Government assert that the Bedouin of Midian and the Hedjaz will make any extension of the line south of Tobuk impossible. I doubt it, for the Bedouin is a poor fighter, unlike the settled Arab of Azir and Yemen, and 4,000 to 5,000 soldiers and a few hundred Circassian colonists have guarded the line with success up to now and fresh troops will always be forthcoming to secure the path to the Holy Cities. If the Yemen insurrection spreads northward to the Syrian frontiers, the line and Turkish power in Arabia with it will be destroyed; but though its construction has caused much heart burn ing among the Arabs, who hate and despise the Turk and his rule, the population of North-West Arabia is too sparse and too divided to offer much resistance. Indeed, the Yemen revolt has had more effect in Syria, where certain sections of the population are arming fast, than in North Arabia, where the Bedouin are neither more nor less troublesome than usual.
But in South Arabia the Yemen is in revolt, and, though I believe that the Turk will win in the end, his victory will be dearly bought. Since Mukhtar Pasha's conquest in 1872, the province has been the scene of constant rebellions, both political and religious, against the Osmanli garrisons. The population of the Yemen consists mainly of Zaidis—settled Arabs—whose sect derives its name from Zaid, a grandson of Ali Asgbar, the Fifth Imam and great grandson of Ali, who was executed in 739 a.d. by the Caliph Hisham. While they resemble the Shiahs in refusing to acknowledge the Sultan of Turkey as commander of the faithful, they approach the Sunnis in matters of dogma, holding, for instance, that the first three Imams were legitimate, a position which every Shiah declares is untenable. Ruled till the Turkish conquest by Imams, who claimed descent from Fatima, they felt the loss of their political and religious autonomy most keenly, and the Sunnis of the province soon made common cause with them against the misgovernment and arrogance of their Turkish and Circassian masters. One abuse was particularly felt. The Remenis pay the askarieh or military exemption tax, as do the Druses and Ansairiyeh of Syria, and avaricious functionaries supplied them with forged receipt which were not recognised by their successors who forced the luckless Arabs to pay again and again. Restrictions upon commerce irritated the traders. Moslems from Egypt and India informed the people that Moslem lands under infidel rulers were justly and humanely governed, and the Bedouin, with whom plunder is the first consideration, were not averse to combining with the other elements of the population against a Government which did its best to make brigandage a State monopoly, The ground was prepared, and, when the Imam Yahya, son of Hamid ed-Din, who unsuccessfully attacked Sana'a in the nineties, took the field, no Arab of the Yemen but wished him success. At the beginning of the revolt the Imam's forces did not exceed 5000 men but a scries of successes added to their numbers and confidence. The system of "petits paquests" ruined the chances of the Turks.
Attempting to bo strong everywhere, they were beaten in detail, and by the end of February the situation was so serious that it was decided to mobilise the greater part of the reserves of the 5th (Syrian) Army Corps. The decision was a fatal one : for, though the Nizam of the 5th Army Corps includes Turks from Europe and Anatolia, the Redifs are almost all Syrian Moslems, who, though good enough soldiers when fighting for a cause that appeals to them, are not anxious to fight other Moslems on behalf of the Turk. The 7th (Yemen) Army Corps is largely recruited from Syria, and the fact that not more than 25 per cent, of the yearly contingent ever return from the vilayet, and that half of these are incapacitated for field work by malaria, did not encourage the Redifs, most of whom were married men, to go cheerfully to the front. Some 24 battalions actually left Syria, two-thirds of which were composed of Redifs. Their sufferings on the Hedjaz Railway and in the crowded transports that conveyed them from Akaba to Hodeida were very great. There were many desertions, but the staff of the 7th Army Corps ordered up the first battalions which arrived to Sana's at once, in the hope of checking the spread of the revolt. The first reinforcements, arriving in driblets, were of little service. Some deserted and more refused to fight, and by the beginning of April Riza Pasha found the Arab host swollen to 35,000 men, threatening Sana'a. The town was hardly fitted to stand an investment, much less a siege. The citadel, on a steep and barred hill, was surrounded by a strong rampart, but the majority of the wells and the gardens were situated outside the wall. The station had never been healthy ; the Arab town, in spite of the execution of its chief Sheikh, was openly hostile ; and, if ammunition was running short provisions were absolutely lacking, for Riza Pasha does not seem to have realised that even Turkish and Arab soldiers required food. Meanwhile large bodies of Arabs captured the passes between Sana'a and Menakha, and by mid-April the ten battalions holding out in Sana'a were suffering from famine.
Riza Pasha appears to have left Sana'a before its complete investment and to have hurried to Hodeida to hasten the relief columns. In the third week of April some 10,000 men, mostly 8yrian Redifs, with a convoy of 4,000 camels, left the coast and advanced on the passes. A description of the disaster that followed, received through a trustworthy intermediary from one of the survivors, explains the defeat. The advance was delayed for six days after the last contingent had disembarked at Hodeida, which wore taken up by the loading of the camels with provisions and ammunition. The rebels meantime fortified the passes and blockhouses which they had captured. As soon as the troops entered the mountains the attack began, and the advance soon came to a standstill in the face of a heavy fire, and a rain of boulders rolled down the precipitous sides of the defiles. The Redifs, out of humour with the campaign from the first, lost heart, and their commander finally ordered the troops to cease firing while he proposed a surrender "The Arabs rushed down on us like vultures, crying 'Sellim, sellim !'-i.e. 'Surrender!' He who did not lay down bis arms was shot or cleft in twain by the marvellous swords of the infernal Arabs." The troops were disarmed, six guns and the camels and their loads fell into the hands of the rebels, and the miserable procession of beaten men was led to Sana'a and driven into the starving town Prisoners were forced to train the captured guns upon its ramparts. Within the walls famine and disease claimed hundreds of victims, and the wretched soldiers devoured roots and grass. The failure of the relief column made surrender necessary, and the remnant of 20 battalions (including the relieving force) with 12 gnus gave themselves up The commanding officers and the rank and file were spared, but many of the functionaries and regimental officers were haled outside the walls and shot. Some of the Turks, weakened by famine, are said to have shown cowardice hot the Albanians and Circassians went proud' ly to their death. The executions over the survivors were sent back to Hodeida. Of 20,000 men, over 8,000 had perished or disappeared.
The victorious Imam now sent letters and proclamations to all the chiefs of Arabia, calling on them to join him, and, to the horror of the pan-Islamic party, struck coins bearing the title of "the Commander of the Faithful : Hamid-ed-Din I." He encouraged traders to enter the country, maintained order by just severity, cutting off the hands of thieves and blinding spies, and drove the remaining Turkish detachments to the coast His agents or supporters, some of whom are believed to be Syrian Christians, spread the news in Syria and Egypt, and prophesied the coming of the Arab awakening (Nahda Ara-biya), but I doubt whether the "young Turk" or Syrian journalists who have hinted at the restoration of the glories of Haroun el Rashid in the Continental Press have very much in common with the redoubtable Yahya, end the majority of Eastern Christian, will require come very solid guarantees before they support an Arab chieftain against the Turk. Yahya himself, despite bis proclamations and coins offered to pay a tribute to the Sultan on con-dition that the religions and political autonomy of the Yemen was guaranteed, but the Porte refused to negotiate with a schismatic and a
Meantime events of some importance had taken plane In the Nejd. As early as Novem-ber, 1904 ten battalions received order to leave Bagdad and march into inner Arabia Subsequent reports credited the Ottoman military authorities with the extraordinary design of despatching this force to he Yemen by way of Hail and the southern pilgrim route which runs behind the coast range from the Holy Cities Abbs and Sana's. But to believe that this was the original design credits the Turkish War Office with truly prophetic foreknowledge of the disasters of April and May, 1905, and with stupendous folly in sending forces overland which could have been transported by sea to Hodeida in one-fifth of the The real motive of the expedition was the desire of Turkey to establish her influence in the Nejd. Abdul-Aziz ibn Rashid of Hail, nephew of the great Emir Mohamed, having lost the southern oasis of Riadh to Abdul-Aziz ibn Saud, a descendant of the Wahabi rulers of the Nejd, and having had none the best of a desultory war with Sheikh Mubarak ibn 8abah of Koweit, forsook his great uncle's policy and called in the Turk. The Ottoman Government had long coveted the Neid, and to that end had at first aided Mubarak and the Wahabis in their campaign against the Shammar Emir. But recent events in the Persian Golf had made Mubarak an object of suspicion, and it was decided to support the Emir of Hail. After some delay at Meshed Ali, the Turkish column entered the wastes, and reached Hail, as per haps was the intention, too late to save Ibn Rashid from defeat Mubarak's men had come up from the Persian Gulf, joined the Riadh army, inflicted a crushing defeat on Ibn Rashid, and were on their way back to the coast Rumours, industriously spread by the Turks in Syria and Arabia, ascribed their success to the presence of two British officers.
The Hail Emir was now compelled to welcome the Turks, who showed no anxiety to recover the Riadh oasis for their protege. A timely naval demonstration relieved Mubarak from all apprehension of Turkish reprisals, not without increasing Turkish resentment The Turks remained for at least six weeks at Hail and then received orders to proceed to Medina, where they arrived in May. The news that greeted them was serious. The vilayet of Azir was beginning to follow the example of the Yemen, the Hedjaz Bedouin, in spite of a severe lesson which they had received from the Egyptian escort of the Cairo Mahmal in April, were giving trouble, and the Sherif of Mecca was believed to be in correspondence with the Imam. The Turkish column was therefore ordered to push on to Mecca, where it quieted the Bedouin, and prevented the discontented Meccans from intriguing openly against the Government If reports from the Red Sea and Syria are to be believed, it was then that Marshal Ahmed Faizi Pasha, who was joined there at the same time by Albanian troops, received the news of his appointment to the chief command of his forces in the revolted provinces. Shortly after his departure the Sherif Avn Er Rafik died very suddenly.
The rare official despatches from the Yemen are, as a rule, intentionally vague as to the recent movements of the Turkish forces and the whereabouts of their commander. The balance of rumour asserts that Ahmed Faizi marching from Mecca to Taif and thence along the southern pilgrim road, relieved Abha in the south of the Azir vilayet early in July. It may safely be assumed that the Pasha has not accompanied a detached force whose means of communication with the armies based on Hodeida and Mocha are merely nominal, and a despatch received from Shakir Pasha, head of the Yemen Inspection Commission, states that the Turkish commander was at Beit-el Mehdi, near Menakha, on July 17. From a comparison of the data available it appears that three Turkish forces are converging on the capital of the Yemen. The first, composed in part of Ahmed Faizi's old force, has relieved Abha and is moving south towards Sahran, where the Zaidi territory begins ; the second and largest force, based upon Hodeida has apparently reoccupied Menakha and defeated bodies of rebels at Bury-Sahid on the Sana'a, and Beit-el-Neyd on the Sanfour roads ; while a third force of eight battalions is moving via Taiz towards the road which leads to Sana'a from the south. Cooperation between these last two columns, not to speak of the Azir force, is expected to be a matter of ex-treme difficulty.
Some 50.000 Turks are ip the field, and, should they be able to force on a decisive action, the result cannot be doubtful. But, whatever the results of this fresh campaign, it may be safely predicted that before the Saltan's rule is permanently established and consolidated in the Yemen, many a Turkish reservist will echo the words of my informant :—"Allah grant the Sultan victory ; but that land, my master, is not fit for men. Burning heat, no water, and everywhere desert, no wonder that the Sultan's troops were overpowered by those Arabs who seem to be the offspring of the Jinns."

It is eight o'clock, the present hoar of the evening at the little restaurant on the Ring which is handiest to the bourse and central telegraph station. It is kept by a Jew, and, with the clannishness which still binds the lost tribes, a good half of its customers are of the chosen people. Many of them are journalists, who give each other rendezvous here instead of taking their snack in the journalists' room the telegraph office. On the pavement outside there are half a score of tables shut off from passers-by and public observation by an ivy-grown trellis, and inside thirty or forty more. A telephone at the disposal of patrons in a box like a confessional, and an electric fan clears the atmosphere. There is no reservation of tables, which are of various dimensions - from the Gesellschafts, or party table, down to the little Doppeltisch for two.
Statistics on the subject are not available, bat probably half the population of Vienna prefers to dine out at the hour which happens to suit rather than keep time for fixed at home. Some go to the big hotels, where they get expensives wines, smart service, and comparatively smart company. Others choose the out-of-door dinners in place of which the "Volksgarten" may stand as a type. Here there are seven or eight hundred tables, and a very first-class military band, which publishes its selected evening programme in the afternoon. Half of the seats are under the trees and sky half under cover.
No sooner is a customer seated than he is attacked by one of the waiters, who flourishes programme before him, and proceeds to enumerate the chief delicacies it contains A foreigner may be a fair German scholar, and able to translate the stiffest Parliamentary debate without understanding more than a word or two of the shibboleth of a Vienna waiter. The language of a menu is a thing apart, but as it repeats itself in the coarse of a week in every establishment in the city it does not require very long study to master its intricacies. The two great failures are fish and mutton, the standing fish items seldom embracing more than one or two fresh water sorts of bony habit and muddy flavour, and mutton or lamb being conspicuously absent. On the other hand, there are twenty separate preparations respectively of beef and veal with lots of salads and sweets, but very little fruit We seat ourselves at a fortuitously vacant table for four or five, order a macaroni soup and take a look around us. In the middle of the room is a family party. The father is grizzled, bloated, and squat, the mother.- quatter still. The girl is handsome and large, with the high colour and the fall red lips of her race, a gipsy straw hat and ostrich feather, a scarlet bow at her throat and ribbon to match in her black hair. The young man is obsequious, sleek, and admirative, as becomes him, of the words of wisdom from the old people and of wit from the maiden. He is probably the promising apprentice, living on nothing bat the prospect of marrying his chiefs daughter and succeeding to what must be a prosperous business, to judge by the reckless manner in which the old man orders a full portion of each dish per person.
Gradually the place fills, and all the other tables are occupied as a young fellow comes in with a fair-haired girl of about seventeen Finding no chairs elsewhere, they ask, for forms sake, if they may sit at our table, and do so forthwith. He is a good-looking boy of perhaps one and-twenty, with dark straight hair, a nascent moustache, and a big ring on his forefinger. She is fresh with the unspoiled freshness of first feminity, which would make her pretty even if she wore not naturally well favored. She wears an untrimmed Panama hat, set rakishly back over her curly hair, struck through with a deadly looking pin. a neat transparent cambric blouse, and spotless collar and cuffs. Before long another man of about the same age comes up and has room made for him, and the dinner-card is consulted carefully. It ends in their ordering two plates of soup one of meat, and one of vegetables. Out of this, with cheese and beer, they all three dine gloriously for about two shillings. During dinner Moritz is generally clasp-ing Mizzi's hand without occa-sionally popping titbits between her strong young teeth, which open for them like a fledgling birds. She has slender white hands innocent of ring; so they are not yet mar-ried. She is probably a "Laufmadl." or errand girl, and he a shopman or clerk. If all goes extra well, there will be a notice of their betrothal in the "Tagblatt"one day.
Whilst we are at table, a succession of beggars and pedlars file in and out. In most cafes these poor folk are ruthlessly barred, but perhaps the proprietor was once poor himself. At any rate, many of his customers cordore with his allowing his co-religionists to pester them in a way eminently calculated to drive them elsewhere, and which possibly does damage him to a certain ex- tent. Their wares are of every description, from opera glasses, which must have been stolen out of a fire to be offered at the price, down to matches and toothpicks. There are, of course, heaps of postcards, and packets of superfine notepaper and envelopes, cardboard oases of -sticking plaster, penknives, shirt studs, and so on, with back numbers of comic papers at a farthing apiece, and all the latest penny shockers, while tee literary can bay Heine or Schiller, bound in doth of gold, for about eighteen-pence.
As we are drinking our coffee, the fly-sheet of the "Zeit" from round the corner comes in, with the latest telegrams from Washington and Pesth, and after a cigarette we call for the bill. Though for years past too legal tender is kronen ana heller, the café keepers have not been able to get the gulden and kreuser out their heads, and our account is made out in the ancient coinage. After paying it we must give at least three separate tips—one to the head waiter, one to the man who served us, and one to the "piccolo," or beer-bringing boy. But the three together do not come to much more than six-pence, and for that we are bowed out as barons at least We must not forget to salute the Panama hat at our table, acknowledged by a merry "Servus." and we stroll out on to the Ring to the accompaniment of a chorus of "Good-nights," from everybody we pass. It has not been a bad dinner, and nobody is the worse for seeing a little of how the other half of the world lives.
In the "Irish Rosary," a bright monthly magazine conducted by the Dominican Fathers. the Rev. Ambrosio Coleman gives a sketch of "Japan To-day." He notes that Japan, with a population of 47 millions, contains only 15 million acres under cultivation, or 18 per cent. of the land:- "Ireland with its twenty million acres, three-fourths of which are under crops or pasture, has exactly the same amount of cultivable land, and yet is only able to support a diminishing population of four and a quarter millions. In Ireland, the land where cows increase and men decay, we possess about ten million large quadrupeds-that is, two and a half for each unit of the population. Japan, on the contrary, is only able to feed three million quadrupeds including 1.500.000 horses, and 1 300 000 horned cattle, making the proportion of one animal to sixteen units of the population. Carrying the contrast still further, while Ireland imports most of the cereals from abroad to feed her people, Japan not only feeds her enormous population on the same amount of cultivable land that we have, without any assistance from other countries, but is able to export agricultural produce. Japan is the most congested district in the world, the ratio of human beings to the land being twice high as in China, with its teeming population of four hundred millions. To bring the case home to ourselves, it is just as if the whole population of England and Scotland had to live here in Ireland, and obtain their whole food supply from the area of land now under pasture and crops, no food being imported from America or any other country.
Towards an explanation of this contrast, the writer remarks that rice, which is the principal food of the Japanese, gives two prolific crops in the year. He touches on a deeper difference
"Again there is not a large leisured class in Japan which preys on the vitals of the population riches are very evenly divided among all classes, and nearly every one has to work in some way or other for the wel1-being of the nation. The evils of landlordism are not felt to any appreciable degree,the Government having bought out the old feudal proprietors and enabled most of the. farmers to become peasant proprietors, Though heavily taxed it is they who tax themselves, and the money is spent in their own country, whereas we, after paying our just contribution, are overtaxed to the tune of three million sterling at least for the common needs of the British Empire."
It is only fair to add that the writer finds the chief reason of the difference in the Japanese spirit of economy, as opposed to the Irish and English and American wastefulness. The Irish neglect oats supersede milk by tea, despise fish, and overvalue flesh meat :— to the varied vegetables which grow so plentifully in our climate, and supply the various elements of nourishment to the human body, there seems to be a stolid determination among the working classes, in spite of long-contìnued economic teaching, to have nothing to do with any, except the well-known cabbage and potato. On the other hand, the Japanese live on rice, Indian corn, and millet, which they grow themselves ; they drink their own tea and smoke their own tobacco. They set a high value on the fish they catch around their coasts and in their lakes and rivers, and use meat but very sparingly. They utilise as important articles of diet not only various vegetables out of which they make soups, but different kinds of seaweed and nuts. By these means the Japanese Blacksmith will live on 13, a wee, or 58s a month,"
In japan there are no large handed proprietors. The farms average about two acres. Twelve acres would be a large holding. Of the increase of factories the writer says::-
"The Government is fully aware of the deteriorating influences on the workers if the manufacturers were allowed to run their factories regardless of all considerations except the money, so the best sanitary regulations have been made for the comfort and well-being of the operatives, who work in the large, well lighted, and well-ventilated apartment kept with scrupulous cleanliness."
