The withdrawal of lire salt monopoly from the Salt and Soda Company doses an im- portant-little chapter in the history of modern Bgyptian finance, and the evolution of the conoession will be of interest to many of our readers, especially at the present moment Daring the early period of Ismail Pasha's Khediviate, the Government sometimes under- took the distribution of salt to the population: at times the revenue was farmed. The price of salt was frequently changed, generally in the direction of increasing it The results were apparently never satisfactory. The numerous abuses which had sprung np in the administration of the Department attracted the attention of the Commission of Inquiry which sat in 1878-79. It was then discovered that the salt-tax had practically degenerated into a poll-tax, which was paid equally by those who consnmed a great deal of salt, and by those who consumed little or none. Com- plaints, indeed, were received that in som- ptaoes, although the purchase-money had been paid, no salt had been delivered for more than a year.
Some years previons'y, a rough calcnlation 1 been made of the population of each Uge, and, irrespective of any changes which ight subsequently have occurred, an exor- 'ant amount of salt was suppoUd to be pplied, for which the villagers were obliged • pay whether they required the salt or not Vt one rime the supply was based on an k«erage consumption of 25 lbs. per head—a i(are which wu about donble the real rate. At a later period, the quantity was reduced to 61 lbs. per head, but as the price was simul- -aneonsly raised in proportion, the change was irrtfnl rather than beneficial to the people. Toe practical working of the system was soffi- neatly indicated by the instructions which sere issued to the provincial authorities, who were told that, if the villages did not take the prescribed amoant -of salt, they "must, as is righ\ punish the villages by inflicting a free equal to the price of the salt which has not been taken, while obliging them at the same time to pay for the salt" Redress against the obvious injustice of this system eras impossible^. The Inspector General of Upper Egypt, wE being asked by the Commissioners to whom the tax payer could address himself if he had any complaint to make in connection with this or other fiscal matters, replied with a naivity arising, without doubt, from long familiarity with a system which he considered both just and natural, "Pour les imp6ta le fellah ne pent se plaindre; il sait qu'on agit par ordre sup5- rieur : C'est le Gouvernement lui mdme qui les reclame. A qui voulez-vous qu'il se plaigoe."
As a consequence of the report of the Commission of Irquiry, some of the wont features of the system which had heretofore' prevailed were removed during the period of the Dual Control. But it can scarcely be said that the reform of this branch of the Administration was seriously taken in hand till some years later, when Mr. Iforker was appointed Director-General of the Salt Depart- ment. Under his auspices the consumption of salt had increased in 1899 from 33.000to60,000 tons or from rather less than 4 kilos to rather more than 5 kilos per head of popu- lation. Although the price of salt had been reduoed by 60 per cent, the revenue has since 1892—the first year in which it can be truly said that thore was a complete absence of direct or indirect compulsion to purchase—been steadily growing. In 1904 the consumption was 60,000 tons, and the net revenue £B. 82,000.
It cannot be donbted that one of the main defects of the old Egyptian regime was the exoe*aire interference of the Government, and more especially of the Ruler of the State, in all the affairs of the country. Ismail Pasha not only attempted to administer every de- partment of the State in person, he may almost be said to have monopolised the com- mercial enterprise of the conntry. He was the largest landowner, the largest shipowner, and the largest sugar manatacturer in Egypt In fact be was omnipresent In his endeavours to combine all these separate functions in his own person, he naturally failed to obtain success in any one of them. Daring the last few years the Egyptian Go- vernment mindful of past errors, has en- deavoured gradually and prudently to divest itself of Booh functions as may more usefully be performed by private individuals, and to conceotrate. its efforts on duties which, iu a more healthy and advanoed condition ot so- ciety, manifestly appertain to the State. In pursuance of this polioy, it was thought that in 1899 the time had arrived when the distribu- tion of salt to the population might with advantage cease to be oatried ont through Government agency. In that year therefore an arrangement was made under which the Government monopoly was oeded to a British company, under the style of the Egyptian Salt & Soda Company, Limited. The subse- quent history of the companj is too well known to need recapitulation. But now the Government find that the fiaanoial situation of the country is so satisfactory that the pre- sent salt monopoly is to be abolished, for, as Lord Cromer remarked in his last report, it is "one of the greatest of the remaining blots in the existing fisoal system." At the same time the Government Will endeavour to exercise great discretion, so as not to interfere with the present prosperity of the Salt & Soda Company, the sphere of whose industrial operations is so wide that the abolition of the monopoly should not affeot its fature success under its present oaptble management.

London, November 16. Yesterday's ceremony in the Guildhall on the occasion of the presentation of an address by the City of London to the King of the Hellenes was a very fine affair. There was a crowded gathering, and the decorations were , on a splendid scale.
King George, accompanied by Prince and Princess Nicholas of Greece, with their suites, drove from the Castle to the Great Western terminus, attended by a travelling escort of the 2nd Life Guards, and proceeded to Paddington, where an address from the borough of Paddington was presented to his Majesty. On the way to the City his Majesty also received addresses from the Corporation of Westminster, the Borough of Marylebone, and the Borough of Holborn at Oxford-circus. A procession of carriages was formed, and the King of the Hellenes drove to the Guildhall, where he was received by the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City, who presented him with an address, previous to entertaining him to luncheon. The address was enclosed in magnificent gold casket, which was surmount by a figure of Britannia seated in a classic Greek galley. His Majesty was in the uniform of a British Admiral and wore the insignia of the Garier. Princess Nicholas was dressed sky blue costume and carried a bouquet of pink roses and lilies. In their address welcome the City Corporation referred to his Majesty's previous visit to the City 25 years ago.
At the luncheon which was subsequently given the Lord Mayor spoke of Greece as accelerating the march of civilisation. In reply, King George said that the progress of his country had been enlarged beyond all expectations. Greece, like Great Britain, looks to peace as the beat guarantee of a nation's progress.
His Majesty was attended to and from the Guildhall by a Sovereign's escort of Royal Horse Guards with Standard, and a Guard of Honor of the Honorable Artillery Company was mounted at the Guildhall. The route to and from Paddington Station and Guildhall was lined by troops. Alter luncheon the King of the Hellenes returned to Windsor Castle, leaving Paddington Station by special train at 3 p.m.

The following is the text of the sixteenth clause of deed of concession in virtue of which the monopoly is to be abolished: —
Art 16. Le Gouvernement se réserve formellement le droit pour des raisons dont il sera seul juge, d'abolir purement et simplement, moyennant un préavis de six mois notifié à la Société, le monopole du sel.
La suppression du monopole mettra fin au présent contrat : elle ne donnera lieu à aucune demande d'indemnité ou de dédommagement quelconque pour quelque cause que ce soit ; maïs la Société aura la faculté de continuer l'exploitation des salines du Mex dont s'agit, en se conformant aux dispositions générales, qui viendraient à être arrêtées par le Gouvernement pour l'extraction et la vente du sel.
Elle sera tenue, dans ce cas, de payer au gouvernement :
1. La valeur des bâtiments, constructions ci-dessas, dont la jouissance gratuite lui est conoédée aux termes de l'art 7 ci-dessus.
Cette valeur est d'ores et déjà fixée, d'on commun accord, à la somme de L.E. 10,000.
2. La valeur du Stock da sel existant actuellement dans les chounahs et livré gratuitement à la société aux termes de l'art 7 ci-dessus. Pour l'exécution de bette dernière disposition, le prix de, la tonne sera calculé à LE. 1 prix fixé dès a présent d'un commun accord.
Si le monopole vient à être aboli, la Société continuera à être tenue, pendant son exploitation, de payer au gouvernement, conformément à l'art 10 ci-dessus, une redevance de 4 piastres égyptiennes par tonne de sél extrait et exporté; cette redevance sera majorée du montant dès droits d'exportàtion.
Quant au sel extrait pour la consommation intérieure, la Société paiera une redevance égale an montant des droits de douane dont seront frappés les sels d'importation.

A melting of the Municipal Committee of Public Works was to have been held yesterday afternoon in order to settle the question of lowering the levels of the Ramleh line as far as Ibrahimieh. But the deplorable slackness so characteristic of matters of public interest in Alexandria, was evidenced by the: fact that only two members of the committee put in an appearance These were Mr. Zouro and Mr. Fide-. As a quorom was out of the question, the Committee of Public Works consisting of six members, the, meeting was pot off until a later date.
Quite a number of people have secured rooms at this well-known hotel, and for Beyram Tewfik Palace promises to be the rendezvous of Government officials and residents of Cairo, for whom the new manager, Mr. Hergel, has made special terms.

The meeting of the creditors of the Sucreries Company took place at 3.30 p.m. yesterday afternoon at the Mixed Tribunals, Cairo, under the presidency of Judge Tuck. The Hon. A. J. Davey and M.

At the opening of the hearing Me. Privat appeared for the. Henry, Say succession. Me. Aicard for the Sugar Land, Me. Vidal for M. Leroux, and Me. Padoa Bey for several shareholders.
Judge Tuck opened the meeting by declaring that the experts had been unable, to complete their report, and that the meeting, would be postponed,to the 20th inst, no further postponement being admissible. He then added that the three controllers, Sir Elwin Palmer Harari Pasha, and M.. Debourg, had made certain proposals which he felt bound to communicate to the creditors for their information. He therefore begged Me Carton de Wiart to read them.
These suggestions, which we reproduce in extenso, were then read by.Me. Carton de Wiart:
A Monsieur Le Juge Tuck,
Commis aux operations en yue du Concordat Préventif sollicite par la Societe des Sucreries.
Nons avons etudie depuis deox mois la situation economiqne et financiere de la Societe Générale des Sucreries et de la Raffiuerie dvEgypte, et la conclusion a laquelle nons sommes arrives est qu'il est impossible de se prononcer avec certitude ti l'indnstrie aucriere pent ou ne pent pas etre exploitee daris ce pays avec benefice. Ce qui est absolument certain o'est quo la faillite de la'Societe sériait désastreuse pour les créancier amsi que pour les actionnaires. Il faudrait dont, salon nous tenter un essai loyal pendant la campagne sucriere qui va s'ouvrir et celle de 1906 1907 afin de voir si, aveo une administration sage et econome, Paffaire peut etre remise sur pied. A cet effet il faudrait que creanciers et actione naires se missent de'accord pour reconstituer immediatement l'affaire de maniere a trouver de suite les fonds neceseaires a la marche des usines et assurer amsi la plantation de la canne pour l'annee 1906-1907, fonds sans heqm le travail devra s'arreter incessamment.
Dans le bilan nous aVons etabli, la fraie situation de la Société au 31 Aout 1905 — et releve tm déficit de LE l.377.306.
Ceci posé, nous vous Indiquerons les bases d'un projet qui pourrait etre Sournis aux crear anciers, si l'assemblée Generale des actionnaires donne les pouvoirs nécessaires A cet effet a ses mandataires.
Nous nons sommes preoccupes, dans son élaboration de maintenir autant quo possible les garanties actuelles des divers groupes,-et surtout de réduire'an minimum les charges obligatoires.
Les interesses sont:
1° La'Daira Sanieh Sugar Corporation Ltd. propriétaire des usines de 1'Ibrahimieh et du Sud ainsi que des chemius de fer, etc., actoellement aux mains des Sucreries, et qui est donc dans une situation exceptionnelle.
2. Les Porteurs d'obligations, les porteurs des traites Cronier et autres creanciers.
3° Les actionnaires et beneficiaire des parts de fondateurs
En ce qui concerne la Daira Sanieh Sugar Corporation1 Ltd. le Gouvernement Étant disposé a a-bâter, si l'Assemhlee Generale des Actionnaires en approuve la vente pour un prix qui sera de £: 350,000 a 400 000 les chemins de fer constituant une partie de l'aotif que la Corporarion avait vendu a la Société, sa creance de £: 800.000 se trouvera reduite a £: 450.000 environ. Pour le surplus elle sera payee an moyen de 1'emission d'obligations qu'elle garantirait a concurrance du solde de sa creance.
Quant aux creanciers (obilgataires, porteurs de traites, ou bar quiers non nantis de garanties speciales) la Societe les reglerait a concurrence de 80 % de leurs creances par des actions privilegiees ayant droit a 5 % d'interet a relever comme premiere charge(apres service des obigations hypothecaires) sur les benefices annuels. La moitie du surplus des benefices(apres que les actions ordinaires auront a feur tour decu 5%) serait employe au remboursement au pair des actions privilegiees.
Les actionnaires, recevraient en echnge de trois actions actuelles, une action ordinaire ayant droit sur les revenus annuels a 5% de dividende — apres service des titres privilegie— et eventuellement a un dividende complementaire preleve sur la moitie du surplus de revenus, dont l'autre moitie est reservee a l'amortissement des actions privilegieea.
Les parts de fondateurs auraient droit a la participation prevue aux Statuts, apres que les actions ordinaires auront touche 7% sur le montant originaire des actions.
Le capital serait donc:
/. Capital a charges obligatoires:
Obligations hypothecaires 5 % £ 800.000
II. Capital a charges dependant des benefices:
A. Actions privilegiees 5%. . . . ,, 2 400000
B. Actions ordinaires.....,, 430.000
C. Parts de fondateur..... pr. memoire
£ 3.620.000
et la charge obligatoire au bilan annuel serait pendant les cinq premieres annees. . , . f £ 40.000
et lorsque 1'amortissement commeucere........... L 43.000
Cette charge nxe paran sue assurres par les diverses économies déjà réalisées et à réaliser.
En résume:
Il serait créé pour £ 800.000 d'obligations pour £ 450.000 environ à désintéresser entièrement la'Daïrd Sanieh Sugar Corporation et à faire disparaître pour les Sucreries le danger. d'être dépossédées par elle et d'avoir _ les autres'danses du contrat de vente. La solde de l'émission constitues le foude de roulemente.
Le droit de souscription do ces obligations serait offert par préférence, pour moitié aux obligataires actuels, (devenus actionnaires primoitié aux actionnaires ordinaires.
Les créàneiers -(sauf les employés,entrepreneuors, fouraisseurs eudépoeanti^cqui seraient payés intégralement) et les obligataires abandonneraient 20 % de leura teéanesa
Les actionnaires abandonneraient deur tiens du montant des actions alors que, d'après le Bilan le déficit est suprerieur au capital actions.
Nous vous prieus, Monsieur le Juge, si vous le croyez opportun, de communiquer ce pr_jat aux représentants des oréadcrêr et d'agréer l'assurance de notre profende considération.

Me. Padoa Bey made some remarks, as to the necessity of certain creditors deposing their shares at the greffe, and Me. Carton de Wiart then stated that several advocates of Alexandra representing certain interests wished to plead for a postponement of the meeting of the 20th inst., to Thursday 23th inst. to enable them to be present at the general meeting of the shareholders on the 25th inst. This suggestion was agreed to.

Clôture d'aujourd'hui à 12h.30 p.m.
A week or two ago thero appeared in several of the London newspaper, a modest little para- graph atating that the work of Ujnng the rails on the Saakin-Berbor railway bad been com- pleted In this unobtrusive fashion was the economic independence of the Sudan announc- ed. Ismail Pasha, when Khedive, realised that if Egypt was to maintain ita hold on the Sudan the means of communication most be improved. Unfortunately, in his wish to bring the Sudan trade down the Nile, lie was led to abandon its natural outlet by the route from Suakin to Berber, and deter- mined to make a railway along the Nile from Wady Haifa, past the cataraots. On this project, which oollapsod in 1877, half a mil- lion was spent on building fifty miles of rails, which ended en Fair, or, rather, in the de sort The Suakin-Berber line was later on strongly advocated by Genoral Gordon, and in 1885, after Gordon's death, the Ministry of Mr. Gladstone actually authorised the con- struction of a railway to the Nile from Suakin, and a feeble start was made in the building of the line. Then Mr. Gladstone decided to abandon the Sudan, and the work came to an end—at considerable cost to the British taxpayer. When at length the Sudan was reconquered by Lord Kitchener, a rail- way, as all the world knows, was built across tbo dosort from Wady Haifa to Khartoum, and the dream of Ismail realised after b quarter of a century. The Khartoum line was built, however, for military purposes, and as a commercial highway it boa been well-nigh nsoloss, for it is impossible to tree trade into an unnatural channel. No one has re, cognised this more clearly than Lord Cromer, and to his determination to give the Sudan a chance of becoming self-supporting, to bring prosperity (and therefore bappinessl). to its in- habitants, we owe the building of this lice. Be- fore stating some cf the edvantrges which will result from its opening, a few particulars con- cerning the railway itte'f may be given.
From Suakin (the presont sea terminus) the line, which is in all 333 miles long, goes north, and then ascends the plateau, Borne 3.000 feet high, which runs parallel to the coast The line then strikes south-west across the desert- thero is a waterless stretch of over fifty miles — to the At bar a river, reached at a point about SO miles below the junction of that stream with, the Nile. The railway then rone by the side of the Atbara until it joins the Kbartoum-Wady Haifa line, a mile north of the Atbara Bridge. The steepest gradient is 1 in 100, and the sharpest curve 5 degrees. Preparations for the construction of the line were begun in 1903, by the makiog of a quay and the erection of a steam crane and similar works at Suakin. The aotual building of the lino Was .commenced in the middle of 1904. under the superintendence of Lieutenant- Colonel Macauley. Work progressed simulta- neously at the Suakin and Atbara ends, that from Suakin involving much blasting of reck, being much the slowest. This work was also delayed by the heavy rains and consequent wash-onts in 1 he Suakin bills, but by March last the heaviest section of the whole line was done. The greatest difficulties Colonel Ma- caoley had to overcome were the almost entire absence of a regolar water supply and the scarcity of labour. The Bedouin, as may be imagined, is not an ideal labourer,and employ- ment of these nomads did not prove success- ful. Men from Abyssinia have been used in the bridging work, but the bulk of the manual labour has been done by the Nile Valley Nubians end by fellaheen from Egypt. The total coat of the railway will be about £3,000,000, and the whole of the money has been provided out of the aorplua revenues of Egypt The line is expected to be opened for traffio early in the new year.
It will be netioed that Suakin has been described as the "present" sea terminus o! the railway. Suakin, though it has been since the days of the Pharaohs the chief seaport north of Massowah on the western shores o' the Red Sea, is an inconvenient harbour, with a dangerous approach, and the Sudan Govern- ment last year dee ded to eeleot another site as their Red Sea outlet. The spot cboset was 8beikh Bargout ("My lord shrimp"), i place about 45 miles north of Suakin, with a better harbour than the old port, and ar infinitely better water supply. Rechristened Port 8odan—which is a sacrifice of the pic- turesque—the new tswn has already a popu- lation of over 2,000, and the Sudan Govern- ment is busily building warehouses, Customs offices, a railway station, and all the things necessary to cope with the expected trade. So far, the goods for the railway have been taken to Suakin, but the laying of the raili from the new harbour to the point where the line approaches nearest to Sheikh £a> gout has been begun, and should be finished by Christmas. Thereafter the deviation t 8nakin will become superfluous ; it is difficult to see how the old port will continue to exist
It is almost impossible to exaggerate the important results expected to flow from tb« opening of this railway. Lest it be though- that our optimism bas no substantial founds tion, we will not go beyond the language oaed by Lord Cromer on the subject. The fine, it must be observed, passes through no territon capable of much development rave for tbs few miles it follows the Atbara; it is but a means to an end, a bridge over the waste o' desert which separates the Eastern 8cdan from the outer world. But it will be a bridge of sur- passing importance. To mention one item—it will immensely cheapen the cost of fuel (coal) at Khartoum, and thus will permit commercial developments impossible while, as at present, coal costs at Khartum some £4 a ton. Again, it will render possible the construction of subsidiary railways in the fertile regions of the Sudan; a branch line to Kassala, and a railway from El Obeid to Ed Dueim on the Nile are already contemplated. The Kassala line will tap a region rich in cereals ; that from El Obeid will enable the gum arabio of Kordofan to be put on the world's markets at a considerably reduced price, while giving the merchants greater profit. Of more immediate importance is the line now being built, from Abou Hamed to the Dongola province ; by this means it is believed that Dongola will capture the trade in cereals with Arabia. Besides all these things, there is the probability—the great probability —of the Sudan becoming a very large producer of ootton.
It is a mistake to suppose, as is sometimes done, that the new line will injure Egypt It is not a question of taking trade away from Alexandria and transferring it to the Red Sea ports. It is rather a question of creating a new trade, which but for the railway could not exist Hitherto (save gum and ivory) scarcely an article produood in the Sudan could be sold in the markets of Europe at a profit being weighted with tho cost of freight between Khartoum and Egypt And these same heavy freights have gone far to st;fle also the import trade. It cannot be doubted that the construc- tion of the Red Sea-Nile railway is a distinct step in making the Sudan self-supporting. The railway, in fact should prove as bent fioent for the Sudan as the construction of the Assouan dam bas proved beneficont for Egypt.

The "Deutschs Monatssohrift" publishes a review of Andreas Gildermeister's book cn England, and also devotes the whole of its back cover to an advertisement of the volume. It describes it as a highly notable disclosure, and reoommends the work in the following terms: "Because England—no semi- official attempt to hush matters up, no sym- pathy and friendship between individuals can change the fact—is our most dangerous poli- tical enemy, we must silently forge arms for our defence with all our strength. Although Bngland is our enemy we must have the justice and dignity to recognise her great qualities. We must never forget that she is akin to us in her Geimanio origin, and that we must keep on terms of intellectual community with her, for she is in many respects more developed than we are, and we have moch to learn from her both politically and socially. We desire before all things to import from Great Britain a little aristocracy—not English, but Germanic —in order to'resoscitate as powerfully as possible what we ourselves possessed before the rise of this new German parvenu civilisa- tion. Therefore chivalrous respect for England. Let us learn from and defend ourselves strongly from her."
A very curious sign of the times in Hungary is the publication of a pamphlet, called "The Hungarian Crisis and the Hoheniollems," which was written by Professor Julius von Zeysio. It was originally issued in Hungarian, and was then translated into German, in which guise it has been circulated all over the Austro- Hungarian Monarohy. The theme of the author is that the Bmpira of the Hapsburgs is rotten to the core, and he formally invites the Kaiser to intervene in the struggle now going on, to make Hungary an independent kingdom, and to place one of his sons upon the throne. The Professor holds that Hungary should be enlarged by the addition of Galioia, Dalmatia, and Bosnia, and that in the future it should extend over all the country as far as Salonioa. The Triple Allianoe is breaking up, and Professor von Zeysio proposes that the Emperor William should lend his powerful aid to build up a strong Hungary, which would be capable of taking the plaoe of decadent Austria as the ally of Germany, whose interests are identical with those of the Magyars. It is impossible to believe that these sentiments are shared by the great majority of Hungarians, but the pamphlet has had a great snooess, in spite of the.fact, which is not surprising, that its sale has been forbidden in the Austro- Hungarian Monarohy.
The S.S. Assaye leaves Southampton to-day with the 4th Battalion R'fle Brigade for Malta, and various details and drafts for Egypt and India.
In mentioning the Royal Humane Society's awards the other day I inadvertently omitted to mention that Captain Crawley. A.8.C., who made suoh a gallant attempt to rescue Captain E. 8. Carey, of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, at Ramleh, has been awarded the medal for his bravery on that terrible oooasion.
Captain J. H. Bailey, King's Shropshire Light Infantry, has been appointed to the command of a company of the Camel Corps attaohed to the 8rd Battalion King's African Rifles.
Brevet-Colonel S. B. Jameson, Seaforth High- landers, wul vacate the command of the 1st Battalion, at Aldershot, on the 21st December, under the four years rule. Colonel Jameson donned the kilt of the old 78th Ross-shire Boffs—now the 2nd Battalion of the Seaforths —on Ootober 1, 1877, got his company in 1888, majority in 1893, and command of the 1st Battalion on the 22od December, 1901, whilst it was stationed in Egypt. He was with the 1st Battalion in Kitchener's Khartoum Expedition ef 1898, inoluding the aotion of Atbara (mentioned in despatches, medal, Khe- dive's medal), was with the same battalion in the pacification of Crete, and commanded the 2nd Battalion in the 8outh Afriosn War of 1902 (medal with three clasps). In the usual course the command should go to Major A. A. Spottiswoode, second in command of the 1st Battalion at Nasirabad, Bombay. He has the Khartonm Expedition, including the ac- tions of Atbara' and Omdorman, to his credit (mentioned in despatches, 4th Cists Mtdjidieh medal, and Khedive's medal with two clasps).
The second class cruiser Encounter, recently completed for sea at Devonport, is to be brought up to full strength of crew at that port on the 21st iust. and commissioned for service on the Australian 8tation. The En- ooonter has not been an nt qualified success, at d she has boon very unlucky in her trials. She has a displacement of 5,880-tons, measures 355 feet in length, with a team of £6 feet, and a draught of 27 feet, mean. Her 12,000 b.p. engines, which develop 21 knots per hour, the Dorr boilers, magazines, and other vitals, are under a 1} inch, steel deck, increased to 8 inohes on the slopes, and the gun positions are also armoured. The armament consists of eleven 6-inoh quickfiring guns, nine 12-pounders, six 8-pounders, a couple of Maxims, and two sub- merged torpedo tubes. When commissioned she will carry a crew of 475 officers and men. Her only sister-rhip, H. M. S. Challenger, Captain F. C. T. Tador, is serving on the Australian Station.
