A leading New York newspaper, in ai article on the shortcomings of the Philippino con-tabulary, remarks "Experience in Bgypt and elsewhere has shown that it is £sr better to control the natives by means of natives than by foreign soldiers, who understand little of the local language and still lose of the customs an feelings of the people. In Egypt the establish ment of the Bgyptian gendarmerie was neither an easy task nor wholly unattended by abnsai Yet it is one oi the successes of the Cromer regime in their neatness, politeness, and effi oiency the Bgyptian mounted constables are well worthy of imitation. The men who organised the Philippine Constabulary undonb'edl had Cromer's police in mind, and were on the right track. It is only in the execution of their plsns that mistakes have been made. Pri marily, they orgauised their Con«tabolsry as peaoe fores. It was hardly onder way whe they were forced to nse it in aotual warfare in competition with the Philippine Scouts. now an adjunct of toe United States army, an were even called upon to fight alongside regular soldiers."

The following note from Berlin on the reoen rtisle by Mastepha Pasha Kamel appears ii be "Megdebotgiche Zeitaeg." The italicized portions of the article are printed in large type in the paper :— The principal organ of the Social Democratic arty has once more made a great "ado about othing." A Berlin paper has inserted an rtiole by the Anglophobe leader of the inde etadent party in Bgypt Mostapha Kama 'aeha, in which he Complains that the Raise Vilhelm, who has of tea shown himself a warm riend of Islam, did not step forward at the ight moment to secure tie independence of Egypt. The Pashoda affair would have been tin ight opportunity to assure himself of Fraud assistance against the English protectorate designs. Mustapha Kamel himself Could have given the reply to his article. Germany has never shown any desire to meddle with other nation's affairs, the has alwyas been content with securing her own interests. Only by the desires have we been led into the Morocco affair, which has new been brought to a pacific conclusion. The Vorwaests need not be afraid that in England the suspicion could arise, that Germany intends to betray England owing to he France-English understanding. Regarding Egypt we received a reliable state ment straight from England to which German had no need to make any kind of protest She has never intended to go against English cities, because the good administration wkic iat been established in tki Nile Valley unde he English protectorate is undoubtedly useful to German interests. The difficulties which Ingland encountered in Egypt came mor rom other sources. Certainly the appearance a Mustapha Kamel Pasha is of symptomatic im portance, as was also that of Maharqjih Dhu leep Sing, who caused snob a great sensation by his passionate complairfta against Boglam o 188'. The English Press acts always as if danger meuaoed the British Empire onl rom without. But here also is true the of proverb about the skeleton in every cupboard.

To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette- Sir,—It was a great pity, that the "Actionaire,'' who wrote to you. from Veirq under the hove heading recently, did not send his letter before. laameose interests ware ut aUka HU "Actionaire" sent in this article before the pay- nent of the Suetalasent of £64,600, U, before be 1st November, the Judge on the Comerodat would most probably have opened his eyes and ordered its non-paydment; thus ths unfor- anato Susserian shareholders would be the richer by that amount.

Now if the Sugar Coorperation had not received this semestrial installment, when due, immediate steps would have been taken by the Corporation both against the Succeseries, which is now covered by the Coaoordat, and the Dalra Banish Company, UmStei. This latter company, on the 1st instant, issued a hurried notice calling a general meeting for the 25th of this month for the purpose of winding up, dispersing of reading up and h'speeiag of the boohs.
