TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1905.
If we may look to the more serious English magazines for indications of the trend of policy and opinion, world-policies and ideas are indeed in the melting-pot so far as England is concerned. The Anglo-French Agreement, the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, and Anglo-German relations are treated to a variety of interpretations that can hardly end in getting us much "forrader." The conflict of opinion may be largely due to the instability of all policy, caused, or, at least, aggravated, by the doubtful state of Russia. But it must be also explained by the insidious disease of "drift," from which the whole body politic has been suffering for so long.
In such circumstancces the alarmist is apt to be very alarming indeed, and Mr. Arnold White, who writes on "The Invasion of England" in the "Monthly Review," is the blackest pessimist in the world. But, conceding the obsession of the Kaiser by the dream of such an event, and the willingness of his subjects to support him in such a policy, Mr. White fails to convince us that it could be, or would be carried out at all as he pictures it. The alarmist thrills our blood in this awesome way: "On approaching the English shore the German transports would have to anchor at a distance. The effort would probably be made on a moonless, and, if possible, on a Saturday night. When the boats of the flothilla approached within five hundred yards of the beach the British fire should begin, but if it is not there the Germans would land scathless....Well-timed shrapnel would, of course, play and havoc with the boats, but, with every detail thought out beforehand by the analytic German brain, there is no doubt that the plan of the invader would have some chance of success." Moreover, there would be, he thinks, the German sympathisers on the spot, who, if easily shot, would at least distract attention from the landing. These would be, presumably, the army of hairdressers and clerks who have been suspected of concealing Mausers under their desks and bayonets in the guise of razors.
Not thus are we to be scared to death. MR. Arnold White himself is ready to admit that "it is a good deal to take for granted that the German landing would escape both naval attack and bad weather," and we should rub our eyes before believing that an army corps, and its transport service, could be quietly got ready without our hearing a word of it. His article is excellent, if sensational, fiction. It will not scare us from slumber, nor can it possibly embitter Anglo-German relations.
And yet- Mr. Arnold White is not the only, nor the most important, person who believes in the possibility of a raid on ENgland's shores. He is not alone in his despair at the apathy with regard to efficient preparation and sound military defence. If only he had been more reasonable he would have led more wisely to his peroration: "The English Volunteers are without equipment or training; they are almost without guns; and they have had no practice in the work of repelling invasion. The English Militia are 937 short in officers, and 32,168 in men." These are facts. It is a fact, too, that a sense of personal obligation, personal loss and suffering, would teach Englishmen to know the meaning of the word "war," as others know itan education which might go further than diplomacy in hastening the millenium of peace.
An official communique declares that the Government will no longer tolerate the agitation in Poland, which its stigmatises as an impudent movement aiming at independence, and therefore, as long as the troubles continue, and the people are influenced by agitators, Poland will receive none of the benefits conferred by the Tsar's manifesto of the 18th August and that of 30th October. It is for this reason, also, that martial law was proclaimed. M. Durnovo, assistant Minister of the Interior, is appointed Minister. The Governor of Kronstadt has resigned.

Yesterday evening a patrol fired a volley into a group of Jews without provocation. Eight were severely wounded.
(Reuter)
The proclamation of martial law has exasperated the Poles, and the city is in panic. The houses are barricaded and the Jews are arming. The strike causes acute distress. The populace is tearing down fences for fuel and robbing peasants coming in to the market, (R.)
Meetings to protest against the Jewish atrocities have been held, not only here, but also in Australia, America, and South Africa.

Reuter's Agency learns that Japan has decided to issue a loan of £50,000,000 at 4 per cent immediately, probably even this month. Half will be applied to the conversion of external loans. A large share will be taken at Paris.

The "Daily Telegraph" is informed that it has been definitely decided that Admiral Togo, with a Japanese squadron, will visit England, probably in March.

An agitation is taking place in Cairo in favor of Sunday closing. The majority of the most respectable establishments in the Capital have fallen in with the movement, but there are one or two which are prevented from doing so by the action of a native recalcitrant, who obstinately refuses. A demonstration of employes took place in the Esbekieh quarter last Sunday, but was not attended by any untoward incident, thanks to wise counsels having prevailed. Mansfield Pasha, Commandant of the Cairo Police, himself proceeded to the spot and asked the organisers to remain calm, promising to do what be could to obtain the general closing of shops next Sunday.

The question of the drainage of Alexandria has been discussed for years past, and even up to a short time back there were still some who believed that the new oollector-general would by no means perform all that it was to undertake. But yesterday a very interesting visit was paid by Mr. Ambroise Ralli,Vice-President, Mr. Chataway, Administrator, Dr. Gottsclicb, and of her members of the administration of the Alexandria Municipality, to see the results of the recent t severe test to which the collector-general has been put.
During the last week the Alexandria Water Company has been cleaning out its settling basins at the waterworks. This running off of a huge quantity of water into the main drain (the eastern and the general collector) of the city means that about 2,000 lota of mud collected since six months must have passed through the drain. The question was whether the collector would be able to take away this residue of mud or whether there would be a considerable deposit. The test was acknowledged by capable engineering specialists to be one of, the utmost severity to apply to a drain, but we arc glad to announce that the collector stood the test excellently well, and that the result of yesterday's inspection was in every respect extremely satisfactory. There was no siiting up of the drain by the mud, and the current at the end of the main outlet was quite strong. As regards the fecal matter, this, it would appear, becomes dissolved on its way through the drain owing to the action of salt water.
It will probably be remembered that when the main drain in Sistera-street was drained for the time being during the course of the recent work into the Eastern Harbour there was a most noisome odour, and the water in the neighborhood of the outlet was so polluted that it became quite a dark colour. But now the outlet of the collector is at Silsileh and there is practically no pollution nor disagreeable smell. This confirms the views of Hobrecht, who held that the collector would act as a septic tank,owing to there being such a large volume of sea water in the collector general. If this continues when other drains are run into the collector general, the faecal and other matter carried away will be automatically disinfected,and the collector general will to of immense benefit to the city.
Owing to the great block in the port of Alexandria and the increasing want of accommodation for ships, vessels are having to undergo considerable detention in getting their cargoes discharged, and the Customs authorities frequently stop the work of the steamers owing to want of space for dealing with the goods.
Yesterday the S.S Westburn (Captain Bell), of the Weathall Line, of Sunderland, arrived at Alexandria from Barry Dock with a portion of her cargo on fire.
She has a cargo of South Wales coal consigned to the firm of Rolo of Alexandria. On the 2nd November it was noticed that something was wrong with the cargo when the ship was off the Portuguese coast. Smoke was issuing from the ventilator, but the fire was kept under. The fire originated in No. 2 hold, where the small coal part of the cargo is stored, and it continued to smoulder all the voyage.
The damage is not supposed to be very serious, but nothing is as yet ascertained. Neither the ship nor the cargo was insured.
Another case of rabies has been discovered at Alexandria. Yesterday afternoon a mad dog seriously mauled a person in the Moharrem Bey quarter. It is to be hoped that the Municipal authorities will exercise the powers given to them by the Government in seeing that the public comply with the muzzling regulations, which are on the eve of being put into execution.

To-day the action for damages brought by M. Pontrel against the Hon. A. Davey was heard before the second Civil Chamber of the Cairo Mixed Courts. The Hon. A. Davey was represented by Maitre Carton de Wiart and M. Poutrel by Maitre Pangolo, late counsel for the Sucreries; Judge Hersbruch presided. Maitre Pangalo opened the case for the plaintiff shortly before 11 a.m. with a long speech which lasted over half-an-hour. His argument was that the evidence went to prove that the Hon. A. J. Davey was in reality au courant from the beginning with state of affairs, and that bis dismissal of M. Poutrel was actuated by an unworthy desire to fix the responsibility for what had occurred on others. In the course of bis pleading counsel for plaintiff enlarged on the letter written by the Hon. A. J. Davey to his colleague, and mentioning Sir Ernest Cassel, among others, which has already been published.
Maitre Carton de Wiart prefaced his defence by a demand as to whether Maitre Pangolo had seen the original letter, or a copy of the same, and after a little passage of arms between counsel Maitre Carton de Wiart caused some sensation by stating that the letter in question had either been stolen from the Hon. A. J. Davey's private copybook or burglariously abstracted from the safe of the Sucreries Company. He then stated that M. Poutrel, in bringing an action against the Hon. A. J. Davey for wrongful dismissal, did not appear to realise that the latter had acted not in his private capacity, but as one of the directors, after a meeting of the board of directors bad authorised him to dismiss M. Poutrel or to accept bis resignation should he offer it.
Maitre Pangolo objected that this part of Maitre Carton de Wiart's defence had not been communicated to him, and therefore appealed to the Court for an adjournment of the bearing for one week.
The appeal was granted, and the case will again come before the Court on the 21st inst
It is considered very probable that the hearing of the third report of the experts, MM. Fourneron and Sampaolo, re the sugar factories, will have to be postponed till about the 23rd inst, as the experts will be unable to complete their report in time for the hearing of the 16th.
A contemporary remarks :—
Disons à propos des Sucreries, qu'il est regrettable qu'une partie de la presse locale ait era devoir influencer l'opinion publique par des commentaires déplacés et de prétendues revelations, qui, en tous cas, auraient dû être réservées aux debats.
Lorsque la crise que traverse maintenant l'industrie sucriére aura ete surmontee, on comprendra qu'il a ete pratique de confier les principaux interets a une seule personne, afin de la mettre a meme de les concilier dans une juste mesure.

We give below the text of a circular issued by the Ministry of the Interior relative to the pilgrimage of 1905 6. This document states that the Ministry would like to see every would-be pilgrim before leaving his moudirieh fully aware of the name of the steamer by which he was going to sail from Suez to Jeddah and the exact date of departure. As it is not certain whether this certainty can be assured, it has been decided to try the experiment for this season with pilgrims from the Kalioubieh and Assiont Moudirieha only. Accordingly, the S.S. Keneh,which leaves Suez on the 4th January, will be reserved exclusively for pilgrims from the Assiont Moudirieh, and the S. S. Missir, on her voyage, commencing January 8, will similarly be reserved for the Kalioubieh Hagis. Pilgrims are urged to delay for as short a time as possible at Suez, and not to wait till the last moment before leaving their moudiriahs.
The following steamers will be employed for the Egyptian pilgrim traffic this season and will leave on the following dates:-
S.S. Gharbieh Dec. 2, 16, and 30, Jan. 11 and 23.
S.S. Rahmanieh Dec. 4 and 18, Jan. 1, 14, and 26.
S. S. Missir Dec. 11, Jan. 8.
S.S. Fayoum Dec. Hand 23, Jan. 6 and 19.
S.S. Mariout Dec. 21, Jan. 2, 15 and 27.
S.S. Neghileh Dec. 25, Jan. 22.
S.S. Minieh Dec. 28, Jan. 9 and 20.
S.S. Menzaleh Dec. 31, Jan. 13 and 25.
S.S. Keneh Jan. 4, 18 and 29.
There will thus be 31 sailings between and including December 2, 1905, and January 29, 1906, and the steamers engaged will be able to transport a total of 2 2,977 Hagis to the Holy Places of Islam in their various voyages.
The following is the circular referred to :-
Vous trouverez ci-dessous la liste des bateaux destinés à faire cette année le service da transport des pèlerins entre Suez et Djeddah avec les dates auxquelles ces bateaux doivent quitter Suez et le nombre de personnes que chacun d'eux peut embarquer.
Le Ministère aurait désiré que chaque personne se proposant départir pour le Hedjes pût savoir, avant même de quitter sa Moudirieh, le nom du bateau sur lequel elle doit s'embarquer et la date à laquelle ce bateau quittera Suez ;— et que ces indications fussent portées sur le billet délivré an pèlerin par les agents de la Compagnie dans les Moudiriehs.
Mais comme cette mesure demande dans les mouvements des pèlerins une exactitude qu'on n'est pas certain de pouvoir obtenir, il a été décidé de l'appliquer cette année, à titre dersai, dans deux Moudiviehs seulement Les deux Moudiriehs qui ont été choisies pour cet es ai sont celles de Kalionbieh et d'Assiont.
En conséquence, le bateau Keneh quittant Suez le 4 Janvier 1906 et pouvant embarquer 800 personnes sera spécialement réservé aux pèlerins de la Moudirieh d'Assiout et jusqu'a concurrence de 800 personnes — et le bateau Missir pouvant embarquer 532 personnes et quittant Suez le 8 Janvier 1906 sera spéciale ment réservé aux Pèlerins de la Moudirieh de Kalionbieh jusqu'à concurrence de 582 personnes — 11 est dono possible qu'il n'y ait pas de places disponibles pour les pèlerins des autres Moudiriehs aux dates précitées des 4 et 8 Janvier.
Vous devez recommander à vos administrés dans leur propre intérêt de ne pas attendre les derniers jours pour se rendre à Suez et une fois à Suez d'y séjourner le moins longtemps possible, de manière à éviter l'encombrement des derniers jours et les peines et les fatigues qui en résulteraient certainement pour eux.
Vous êtes prié de donner la plus large publicité possible à ce tableau des bateaux se rendant au Hedjsz et de vous conformer à ce qui précède.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral of the late Me. Molteni took place at Cairo. The funeral cortege left 19, Telephone-street, the house of M. Guido Moroni, where Me. Molteni died, at 3 p.m., for St. Joseph's Church, Ismailis, where the funeral service took place. Many of the friends of the late Me. Molteni were present at the sad ceremony, after which the coffin was removed to the Bab el Hadid station for transportation to Italy.
Yesterday morning, during the audience before the Cairo Mixed Civil Court, Me. Prunieres, the president of the Court, made a brief address to the members of the Bar, in which be expressed his grief at the sadden death of Me. Molteni, and eulogised the brilliant abilities and unflagging industry of the deceased. Me. Carton de Wiart then thanked the president in the name of the Bar, recalling the professional abilities of the deceased, and pointing out that though as a member of the Contentieux Me. Molteni had technically ceased to be reckoned among the members of the Egyptian Bar, the latter body had always regarded the deceased and his colleagues as their confreres. He also praised the professional merits of the deceased and offered his widow the sincere sympathy of the whole judicial body. The Tribunal then rose for a short time at the invitation of the president as a testimony of its respect for the memory of Me. Molteni.
Nothing has yet been decided as to who will succeed the late Substitut du Contentieux. Among the names of possible successors mentioned is that of M. Emos, judge of the Cairo Native Tribunal. If this be confirmed, it is possible that a substitut adjoint may be appointed from among the younger members of the Cairo Bar.

Played on Saturday on the ground of the former, before a good torn-out of Spectators. The game started promptly and the opening exchanges gave promise of some good play by both sides. The visitors were early aggressive, but Hopkins and Davis were quite equal to the attack. The Saints transferred the play to the other end and from a pass by Cowie, Lark heat Doyle, but off side was given and the point nullified. Later Keen had a nice opening, but shot high over the bar. The visitors again took up the running, and through a miskick by Hopkins, Daiai got in and beat Mitchell with a low raking shot which gave the home custodian no chance to save. From the kickoff the visitors again got away, and Crosswell spoiled a good opening by shooting past The homesters were soon again in the vicinity of Doyle and a miskick by one of the visiting backs let MoCron well away, but Stannard intercepted. Lark got possession and pat across to Tulloch, who shot over. Play was again transferred, and from a corner kick, well placed by Maynard, Fowler headed a beautiful goal, thus placing his side two up. Half-time arrived with the score unchanged.
The Saints re-arranged their front line at the restart, Cowie going in centre and McCron inside left. The change looked like having the desired effect, for again the homesters pressed, but their efforts to score were fruitless. Bright now came forward to partner Lark, and some good wing play ensued, Lark in particular playing very prettily. The visitors' backs had now got quite settled down and let little pan them, so that Doyle was not very severely tested, although McCron looked well set for getting through the defence when be unfortunately came a cropper, McCormack clearing without difficulty. The visitors' right now made tracks toward Mitchell, and he was called upon to handle twice in rapid succession, hat a proper clearance could not be effected, and Crosswell scored number three from close in, Mitchell again having no chance to save. The Saints tried hard to notch a point, hot the forwards failed at goal. They don't seem yet to have found their shooting boots. It has to be aid though that they are now a much improved lot, and it was hard luck that they did not at least get one point The visitors played several of the "Dubs" in their team, their skipper having been unable to get together a team composed exclusively of Berks. They played a steady and gentlemanly game throughout and quite deserved the win. The following were the teams : —
Details Berks F. C.— Doyle. McCormack, Stannard, Stogce, Shea, Ferris, Maynard, Bradburg, Crosswell Daiai and Fowler.
St Andrew's F. C. —
The meeting of the home team and tbs Band of the Inniskilling Fusiliers proved to be a big attraction at Boulac,and the huge number of spectators present had the satisfaction of witnessing a fire exposition of the game. Boulac won the toss and defended Embabeh end. From the kick-off, Boulac took up the attacking, and but for the incidental retaliations made by the visitors, kept it up all through the first half. The first goal of the match was secured by Esan off a corner kick, about 15 minutes from the start, but the visitors soon equalised by a penalty goal, a few minutes after. At the change-over the score stood at 1-all. In the second half the dash and determination of both teams for supremacy kept the crowd on the tip-toe of excitement When well into the second half, Hayes registered the home team's second goal from a beautiful centre by Simmonds. The band tried bard to put matters. but the home defence prevailed and were left the winners by 2 to 1. Mr. Allport was referee.

EGYPT'S ASIATIC NEIGHBOURS UNDER THE EARLIER DYNASTIES.
The discoveries of recent years in Egyptian archeology have greatly increased our knowledge of the geographical extent of Egyptian dominion and influence in Western Asia under the earlier dynasties. This additional information has chiefly been derived from the closer attentin paid to all remains of hieroglyphical inscriptions in the Sinaitic peninsula, as well as from a re-investigation of all known texts upon monuments papyri, referring to lands or peoples east of Egypt proper.
The reliefs of the Pharohs Zosiri-Noutirkha and Sanakht of the First Dynasty, near Sinai, carry back the date for Egyptian expeditions to that region far anterior to the era of Senerferon and the "pyramid kings"; whilst the fact that the Fifth Dynasty monarchs conducted campaigns in Syria is proved by the inscription in the tomb of Anti at Sakkarah, and for the Sixth Dynasty, by that of Ouni. He calls the Asiatics Amon and Hirashu, names they bore at times through all Egyptian history.
The new discoveries, however, to be particularly alluded to concern 12th dynasty inscriptions, one of them a memorial of a certain Khousovkou, found by Mr. Garstang i 1900; and two others of persons named Ptah-ourou, and Sinofrit, were discovered at Sarbout-el-Khadim in the Sinaitic district, and which give further information of a hitherto unrecorded Asiatic expedition under Usirtasen III; also of Egyptian officials being at the Sarbout-el-Khadim mines under Amenemhat III..
But the new texts disclose a more interesting fact than these, and that is that the Egyptians were well acquanted with three tribes mentioned in the geographical and ethnographical list in Genesis 36. These are the Lotan, or Latanu, the Horites, and the Aiah, and further, they connected them together geographically and racially as doess the Old Testament.
The first of these important inscriptions records a war waged against the country of the Sakimim, and the tribe, or people, of the Lotanu who were encountered during an expedition to the land of Monitiou-Sati, which in early Egyptian times signified near Asia, or rather South Syria. Immediately the text was deciphered it confirmed the supposition of Professor Max Muller that the people read as Tanou upon the celebrated Berlin papyrus of the XII. dynasty, containing the travels, or adventures, of Saneha, should be read Lotanu.
He speaks of two districts occupied bby them as Lotanu, simple, and Higher (or Upper) Lotanu. The inscription of Senofrit mentions a chief, or sheikh, named Khebta, or Khebtata, who, he says was brother to a king of the Lotan, and this Sinaitic prince was evidently an ally, if not even an official, of the Egyptians, for his name appears in several lists of their officers and overseers. Whether he served as guide to their parties or was awarded a post among the staff of the Egyptian colony at Sarbout-el-Khdim in order to conciliate his countrymen, is unknown. It will be seen that these monumental records and the Saneha papyrus all assign Lotan to the Sinaitic district in "Middle Empire" times. It is very singular that in later times, for instance under the reign of Thotmes III., upper and lowe Lotanu signified regions away in Palestine and North Syria. But this corresponds to the frequent enlargement, or projection rather, of the name for a neighbouring district to a further district as the geographical knowledge of the nation using the title, to denote a frontier teritory expands. As Palestine, Greece, and Germany gradually embraced more extended boundaries so to the Egyptians. Lotanu was at first close to their eastern frontier; as their conquests extended further into Asia the name was applied to countries further away.
As M. Levy remarks, it is evident to us, now that we have more texts to guide us, that primarily Lotanu was the part of the Sinaiticpeninsula bordering upon the Pharaonic mining colonies, probably upon the Syrian or Palestine side of these. In fact, the desert between Palestine and Egypt, with the hills and the valleys of which Sarbout-el-Khadim was one, was situated within its area.
In the time of Saneha, he, having penetrated further into the valleys and oases in which the Lotanu lined, projected part of their domain to a more distant position, and so writes of a higher Lotanu to the north towards Palestine.
As time rollled on the Egyptians applied the name, perhaps merely for want of knowing better,to other areas until under Thotmes III. it was at times used as designation for southern and northern Syria, or as M. Levy further says , they first placed it at the fortress of the Semitic people on the threshold of Asia away form the Mediterranean towards Sinai, and finally transferred it to all the hinterland of the Palestine plateaus and central Syria. As mentioned, these early monuments, in addition to the Lotanu, speak of the Horu, or Horites, as contiguous to each other. This second race's district at a later epoch was transferred to the Syrian shore, for the Golenischef papyrus calls the Mediterranean near to Byblos, or Gebal, the sea of Hor. This teaches us that Hor represented to the Egyptian at the greatest peiod of their territorial agrandisement the Shephela of the Hebrews. In Egyptian documents up to the 19th dynasty it also signified a district close to the Egyptian frontier near the Sinaitic region.
For instance, Seti I. says that in proceeding from Zaru, a place near the modern Imaeliyeh, to Kanana he passed through the Horite territory. Therefore it was, at his epoch, the north-west angle ofthe Sinatic district commencing at Zaru, the "gate of Egypt," and stretching by the time of THotmes III. if not in that of Seti I. as far as Gaza. In fact about 2000 B.C., Horu and Lotanu were between South Palestine and Sinai, projecctingg somewhat into each, and were not many days' journey from the Egyptian Delta.
This agrees very well with Genesis 36, 20-30 where Lotan is labelled as "first born of Seir," a people, or district, lying between south Palestine and the Araba Gulf. Hori is son of this Lotan, and, like all nomadic patriarchal people, pushed out from the Lotan area into further fields and pastures, occupying according to Egyptian evidence the districts west of the Sinaitic region, towards Gaza.
It is evident that the Egyptians have in their Sinaitic inscriptions faithfully transcribbed the local tribal names, subsequently using these ethnic titles as geographical ones. This is further confirmed by the fact that Saneha mentions Aiah in the Bible, the nephew ofLotan, (see Genesis 36.24), and also either Qedem, or Adema-Edom: the correct reading of these two names is still undecided: Saneha speaks of Aiah as an oasis famous for its vineyards.
It is certainly remarkable that the two names of Asiatic neighbours to Egypt previous to the new Empire should be found in Genesis 36, and that a little later these under the 12th dynasty should be associated in a papyrus with a third Biblical name; all these three being in the Old Testament records placed in the regions between Palestine and Egypt, and the proof of this should be forthcoming as soon as ever Egyptian texts situated in the proper region beyond their frontier where they might be anticipated are scientifically examined. Of course there are scores of the Biblical places and peoples also mentioned upon other later Egyptian records.
As has been explained, the names of Horu and Lotanu were subsequently made to embrace regions far distant from their original sites, the Horu being carried away to part of Phoenicia and the Lotanu to Syria by the date of the Decree of Canopus in Ptolemaic times.

Writing on the subject of the progress of the Cape to Cairo Railway, a correspondent of the "Engineering Magazine" says: Quite recently I had the opportunity of discussing the effect of the death of Mr. Cecil Rhodes upon the Cape to Cairo Railway with Sir Charles Metcalfe, who, en parenthese, has been the leading spirit of the railway all through. I told him that in some quarters the impression still remained that the death of Mr. Rhodes had adversely affected, and was still affecting, the great railway scheme. Now, as Sir Charles Metcalfe is so closely associated with the project, it was perhaps hardly fair to expect him to say very much either way, but he agreed with me that, so far as he was aware, the railway scheme had not suffered to any appreciable extent, if indeed at all, by the demise of his lamented friend; and he added that if it were otherwise the line from the south would scarcely be where it is to-day, namely, a good many miles beyond Kalomo, which is about 100 miles north-east of Victoria Falls, and well on the way to Rhodesia Broken Hill, the next great stage to the terminus of the southern end of Lake Tanganyika. "It must be admitted," Sir Charles proceeded, "that Providence has been very kind to us in regard to the stretch north of Bulawayo, in that we have coalfields at Wankie to help us along, and are now making straight for Broken Hill, which, as you are aware, is a rich copper region." He further stated that some people seemed to think that sentiment was at the bottom of Mr. Rhodes's plans respecting the railway, whereas the latter had always regarded the matter from a hard and fast business standpoint.
Admiral Nebogatoff and a party of his officers arrived last week at Marseilles, and soon afterwards they proceeded on their journey to Russia by way of Paris. In the course of an interview which he had with a correspondent of the "Echo de Pareis" the unfortunate commander of a squadron of Rodjestvensky's ill-fated fleet asked not to be styled "admiral," as he was now a simple citizen. He declared that he had struck his flag at the battle of Tsushima because further resistance was hopeless.
A sentiment of infinite pity for my men determined me to prefer the disgrace of a necessary capitulation to the sacrifice of my 2,000 gallant sailors and officers. I repeat, I am, perhaps, guilty in having done this. My conduct, perhaps, deserves death. Then let them shoot me. I am ready to die. But in what country has a combatant, however guilty he may be, not at least obtained the favor of being tried by his peers before being shot? If the law will that I ought to be shot, let it take its course. All that I ask is what the most miserable murderer can solicit from the justice of men, namely, trial before death."

The question of the prospective raw cotton supply for the season ending August, 1906, is (says the "Times Commercial Supplement") engaging the serious attention of all people directly connected with the trade. Several more or less influential authorities have issued their opinions as to what is likely to be grown in the United States, but the market is hardly willing to accept any particular estimate. Views vary widely. Mr. Theodore Price, whose name has loomed largely in the cotton world for some years past, thinks that we may have an output of 11,250,000 bales, as a minimum. Mr. A.J. Buston, a leading Liverpool importer, whose opinion has influenc, holds that the yield will not be more than 10,250,000 bales. It is noteworthy that Mr. Henry Neill, of New Orleans, and Messrs. Neill Brothers, of London, cannot see their way to give out any estimate, owing chiefly to diverse reports as to the condition of the growing crop in relation to frosts. All, however, agree that, given open weather henceforward, the supply will be larger than is at present expected by the bulls. The American cotton crop of last season was 13,536,841 bales. These large figures followed five years of comparative scarcity, the average crops for that period being about 10,300,000 bales per year. It is a rather striking thing that, notwithstanding the "record crop" of last season, the stock in Liverpool is only about 580,250 bales, as compared with 251,010 bales twelve months ago. The consumption of cotton was never greater than at the present time. All the mills in Great Britain are working at full stretch, and more factories are running today than a year ago, owing to the starting of new mills in Lancashire. Continental mills and the American factories are alse working more. If the American crop this season proves to be a little ovver eleven millions of bales there will, it is considered, be plenty to go round.
In respect to the Egyptian cotton crop, it is agreed by the most trustworthy authorities that the output will be larger than that of last season. The acreage under cultivation is more extensive, and the weather has been generally favorable. The Brazilian crop is also doing welll, and here also a larger supply is expected this season than last year. Then, in respect of East Indian cotton, Bombay authorities consider that we shall have 300,000 bales more this year than last season. Lancashire uses scarcely any East Indian cotton. It is a short staple and is chiefly used in China, Japan, and the Continent, where coarse counts are spun. Summing up the position, we may broadly state that the prospects of a total supply from all sources sufficient for the requirements of the world are not discouaging, but in regard to American descriptions it will largely depend on the weather between now to Christmas as to whether the crop will be 10,500,000 bales or 11,500,000 bales.
At the last session of Congress a joint resolution was adopted authorising the collection and compilation of statistics upon : - (1) cotton production as returned by the ginners; (2) consumption of cotton in the United States; (3) supply of cotton sold by manufacturers; (4) quantity of cotton exported. This work is to be done yearly, and the first report, up to August 31 last, covering the various questions involved, has just been issued. September 1 has been arbitrarily fixed as the beginning of the commercial year in cotton. The only significance of this date is that it marks the time when the general movement of cotton begins to include some considerable portion of the new crop. As the mills do not discriminate strictly between old and new cotton taken by them for spinning, the Census plan is to take as the supply of the year, beginning September 1, all that has been ginned between that date and August 31 of the following year, to which is added the stock of cotton left over from the previous year. When this plan has thoroughly adjusted itself to conditions, it is believed that it will furnish a much needed check upon the statistics compiled by the Agricultural Department, and that the two reports, while they will apparently disagree, each will really be the complement of the other.
The following table issued in the report shows the supply and distribution of American grown cotton in the United States for the year ended August 31, 1905:-
Production of 1904 (as returned by ginners) 13,693,279. Less quantity ginned to Sept. 1, 1904 from growth of 1904... 374,821 ______19,318,456

Cotton of growth of 1905 ginned to Sept. 1, 1905...476,655. ________ Total Supply...14,455,994
Note.- In addition to above supply the net imports of foreign cotton during the year amounted to 61,913,379 pounds, equivalent to 123, 825 bales of 500 pounds each.

Mr. Francis W. Grey, in the "Empire Review," vouches for the loyalty of the French Canadians, who constitute about 40 per cent. of the population, and insists on the necessity of taking them into account in any scheme of Imperial Federation. There is no bond in a common creed between the Irishmen in Canada and the descendents of the French. The Irishmen dislike and distrust the French Canadian Catholic more than they do the British Protestant; and the French Canadians, not unnaturally, return the compliment. On the other hand, the French Canadians are intensely loyal to the Crown, which, as Lord Grey has said guarantees their rights and privileges. "Any man who, in the province of Quebec, should preach disloyalty to the Crown would be regarded as a madman or a fool."
Mr. Grey thus states Canadian Federationist ideas, as he conceives them:-
"What is wanted is a federation providing for the natural growth of colonies, oversea dominions, into nations possessing in matters military, commercial and relating to treaties, the fullest and most complete autonomy. It must be a Federation linking these nations into one Empire, wherein each remains a sovereign State, subject, not to an Imperial Parliament, but to the Monarch alone. Such nations might, as Sir Wilfrid Laurier has suggested, be united by treaties, commercial, military and others, drawn up by His Majesty's Ministers for each State, and agreed to by all. Each State, in an Empire of this making, while retaining full control of its military and naval forces, as of the taxation necessary for defence, obigations, and the advice of His Majesty's Ministers on the spot, should decide."
