We feel a considerable sympathy for the Railway Administration at present: it has "oome into money" and is in conseqnence expected to spend lavishly and satisfy a host of different and often conflioting interests in the minimum of time. The man of mode- rate means and immoderately poor relations who suddenly finds himself in the possession of a small fortune is in a similar qnandary : he cannot satisfy all at once, and if he selects anyone as the first recipient of his bounty, the rest storm and inveigh against favorit- ism, but where the individual would probably abandon his charitable projeots and spend his money stiiotly on himself and hia own family, if any, an administration most per- severe in the thankless tack of endeavouring to content a host of claimants. That every demand can be met is impossible: in Mr. Wells' Utopia, and there alone, are admi- nistrations eternally capable of rising to every situation and of satisfying every claim on tbo part of the public, and in Egypt, as else- where, they must content themselves with relative success and with the pious hope that each year will be marked by fewer com- plaints.
After all, the Railway Administration hflg| not been marking time since last year. 8tat«8$ tics have, it is true, beon classed with lies* and qualified lies by the soeptio, but it mil take a long time to porsnade ns that some recent calculations that have come to our notice do not mark remarkable progress, and rapid progress too, on the part of this much- criticised administration. The Alexandria Association of Coal Importers no doubt con- sider themselves aggrieved at the aotual shortage of trucks, but when they remem- ber that other importers have very considerable claims on the State Railways, and when they realise the true import of the figures which we give, they will without doubt realise that the Administration is doing its beat for them and for the whole country as far as the supply of rolling stock and the endurance of tho personnel admit.
Tho total quantity of goods carried from*' Alexandria by rail in October, 1904, which was a very busy month and showed a great increase on the corresponding month in 1903, was 140,000 tons. Last month 177,000 tops were carried, an iucreaso of nearly 38 i %. In October, 1904, there were 7,700 trucks available for trafHx, counting each truck of 30 tons capacity as equivalent to three, while 8,700- trucks are now ready, an re- create of 13 %, and 1,1(0 new trucks have yet to be delivered. Tho new tracks are coming in, at the rate ot about ten a day. The majority come from Belgium, some from England, where their constraotion appears to be somewhat slow, since no English tracks have yet been delivered. The total number of traok loads of miscellaneous goods leaving the Castoms at Alexandria in October, 1904, was 13,300. 93,400 track loads left the port last month, an increase of over 70 %, and there was a thirty per oent increase (60,000 tons against 45.0Q0) in the quantity of goods dispatched from the Gabbari goods station.
To tarn to thb question of coal, 50,000 tons have been taken up country against 45,000 last year, and while the increase in the coal imports for the year up to date is 8.8 per cent, the quantity taken inland b^ rail in the period commenoing on January 1 and ending on Ootober 81, shows an increase of 15 per cent Causes which are not under the control of the Railway Administration have prevented the transport of ooal up-country from being as rapid and as considerablo as the coal importers desire. The area planted with ootton has kcreased so enormously that this year there has not Veen enough fodder fjr horses and cattle, and the "tibn" traffic, formerly a negligeable quantity, has increased enormously in importance. Some 850 truck loads of "tibn" were Bent from the Mariout district daring the month, and as the Bteady supply of "tibn" and oereals is of the utmost importance to owners of horses and cattle, we cannot wonder that the Administration had ia cases to give precedence to this traffio. Another canse of tho difficulty of sending coal and other goods up in sufficient quantity is the deoline of boat traffic to and from Alexandria this year.wh ch has been very marked. Finally, is it not possible that the importers have in some cases accepted impossible contracts 1 If this be so, the question arises whether the State ia called upon to supply facilities which would enable snch contracts to be more or less fulfilled. In our opinion the State has no right to spend publio money for suoh a purpose ; to have cspital lying idle for three quarters of the year to save certain individuals the neces- sity for a little more foreiight and a great deal more storage room, would be false eoonomy, wasteful in itself and unfair to the taxpayer.

There is no sign of the determination of the strikers weak- ening. The council of workmen's delegates at St. Petersburg has resolved to continue the strike indefinitely, scoffing at M. Witte'appeal. Russians are selling Russian securities at any price for foreign gold which they immediately send abroad.

The Grand Dnke of Luxemburg is dead.
(Reuter
The death of the Grand Duke Adolphus may not improbably lead to serious difficulties,as for some time past, owing to the advanced age or the Grand Duke, the question of the succession has been a matter of considerable concern to Belgium and will possibly become a European question. The late Grand Duke by his two marriages only left one son, Prince William, who is in bad health and has only daughters by his marriage with a Princess of Braganza. The Salio law holds good in Luxemburg, otherwise the Grand Duchy would have passed in 1890 to Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, at the death of her father the late Grand Duke. One feeble life thus stands between Luxemburg and a serious crisis, for Germany it is well known desires to incorporate the little State in the Empire. This, however, could scarcely be permitted by France, who, as long ago as 1867, protested against such an absorption on the part of Germany. Belgium, too, powerless as she is, would view with the greatest objection a German ontpost on her frontiers. The Belgians argue the matter thus: both France and Germany wish to have the Grand Duchy but neither will allow the other to get possession of it without the most serious protests. The obvious solution they say is to give it to Belgium, to whom it belonged until 1839. The two States are closely united in every way, and the annexation could be carried out without the slightest trouble or disturbance.
The late Grand Duke of Luxemburg was born at Biebrich, July 24, 1817, and married, at Dessau, April 23, 1851, his second wife, Princess Adelaide of Anhalt; his first wife, the Grand Duchess Elisabeth Michailovna of Russia, having died in 1845 withont issue. His only daughter, Princess Hilda, was married to the Crown Prince Frederick of Baden in 1885; a grandson of the Emperor William 1., with a settlement of a million sterling. The Hereditary Prince Alexander is likewise an only son, born in 1852, and serves as majorgeneral in the Austrian army. Should his sister die without issue her dower will ultimately revert to him, and he will be one of the wealthiest princes in Europe, his father having possessed, in addition to a fortune of at least three millions sterling, vast estates in Austria and Germany. Prince Alexander married on June 21, 1893, Marie-Anne, Princess of Braganza.

Our weekly Cairo contemporary, in its current issue, gives an interesting account of the life and labours of the late Dr Barnardo, quoting some excellent poetry, "In Memoriam" from "Punch." These lines remind one of the fine stanzas published by our comic contemporary on the oooasion of the death of President Lincoln, and are equally worthy of the occasion.
The following details regarding the general traffic on the Egyptian State Railways during the past ten months should be of some interest to our readers. We understand that during that period 4,884,000 tons of goods of all kinds have been carried, against 8,625,000 durirg the corresponding period last year, an increase of 21 1/2 per cent, though the increase in the carrying oapacity of the rolling stock brought about by the supply of new trucks, etc, only amounts to 13 per cent This increase is the more remarkable in that the traffic to Alexandria has remained almost stationary, while the traffic from that piece has increased about 16 per oent and is now more than double that in the opposite direction, with the result that quite half the trucks going up from Alexandria have to be sent back empty. The average load of the trucks loaded here has increased from 82 to 84 per cent of their nominal carrying capacity,—a remarkably high figure, as trucks will only take about 60 % of their nominal load when laden with timber and less still when carrying "tibn," which has now become quite a common article of transport, owing to the great scarcity of fodder and cereals in parts of the country which now grow nothing but cotton, and many other commodities.
Though the traffic which does not touch Alexandria is to the Alexandria traffic nearly as 5 to 3, on an average every truck on the Egyptian State lines takes a load out of Gabbary every 12 days. The increase of traffic has resulted in an increase of earnings, the figures working out at about 9s. 1 1/2d. per goods train mile against 9s. Od. in 1904. It follows from all this that not only has the rolling stock been increased, but that the administration now gets more work out of each truck than formerly, while new trucks are added as fast as it is possible to get them put together. Up to date every track has on an average run a trip once every three days, and as merchants frequently take a full day to load and another day to unload, while many trips cannot be made in much under two days, it seems obvious that there has been very little margin left for avoidable delays.
As for the passenger traffic, for the ten months of 1905 it shows an increase
in number of 1,836,000, twelve per cent. more than in 190
We understand that Capt. Lyons will be one of the two British members of the Conseil Superieur of the Railway Administration. Mustapha Pasha Fehmy will be president, and M. Barois and Scandar Pasha Fehmy will sit on the board.

The scheme for the classification of the officials of the Egyptian Government will not be put into force until the Financial Adviser has received the opinions of the various heads of Government departments on the subject. The officials of the Religious and Mixed Courts will not be included.
The well-known Alexandrian hostelry, the Hotel Abbat, has been sold for L.E 30,000, inclusive of the site and building, but not the furniture. This works out at the rate of L.E 10 per pic, as the site comprises a superficies of about 3,000 pics.The purchaser is M. Hannaux Owing to the central position of the site the price is considered moderate. It has not yet been decided by M. Hannaux as to what he intends to do with the building, but we under stand that he has already received a number of offers.
The first issue of the "Sphinx" for the current season will appear on Saturday, December 2. Many changes have been made in order to add to the attractiveness of the periodical.

No date has as yet been decided upon for the sales of building land on the new quay at Alexandria. It is to be hoped that the Municipality will soon fix an early date, as the public expectation is very eager and the looal capitalists have for some time past been girding themselves for the fray at the forthcoming sale.
The lands must, according to the regulations of the Municipal Free State Lands Department, be revalued every year, and this year's valuation will be the reserve price of the land. It was thought advisable to have the valtion as and the sales during the winter, when the Municipal Council is at its full and the local capitalists have returned.
We have reason to believe that the question of selling the lands will soon be decided by the Municipality. The valuation of the remaining portion of the land can easily be made, and in all,probability it will be put up to anotion early in the year.
The most interesting question in regard to the new quay estates is as to whether the centre of the city will be shifted from that part of the Mohamed Aly-square, where is the Bourse, to the great artery of traffic to the quay, which is to be at the Plaoe des Consuls. 1 There will be the Gonvernorat, the Government and Ministerial buildings, etc., and many believe that that part will beoome the hub of Alexandria. But this is a very doubtful theory, for where the Bourse now is will be a far more central, and commerce is notoriously conservative in its movements. The quay will not succeed in displacing Cherif Pasha-street for many years to come.
It has been decided that of the two Mixed Court judges who are to be appointed, the French judge will be nominated to the Mixed Court at Alexandria and the Greek judge to that at Mansourah.
Negotiations in regard to the appointments are still proceeding between the Egyptian and French and Greek Governments.
The Alexandria correspondent of the "Man cheater Guardian" writes as follows to his paper:-
The Egyptian Government announces an increased scale of charges to be levied on all Egyptian pilgrims accompanying the Holy Carpet in the approaohing pilgrimage to Mecca. In justification of this measure it is stated that the accounts of the last pilgrimage kept in the Ministry of the Interior disclose a considerable deficit between the receipts derived from the pilgrims and the Governmental expenses. There is no doubt that the cost of this religions obligation is becoming every year more onerons for the individual Moslem. As an example of this fact, if Egypt is not declared free from plague by the time the Hedjaz caravans set out on their journey a poll of £E 50 (?) from every pilgrim is exacted by the regulations of the Sanitary Board of Constantinople for purposes of hygienic supervision and disinfection.
The Western world least ot all has cause to criticise regulations such as these, however stringent they may seem, for they are eminently preventive in character, and their observance by the rude Hags who form the mass of the caravans is one of the best guarantees that the former agglomerations of pestiferous humanity —a menace to the well-being of three continents—is at an end.
As regards the charges assessed on the pilgrims travelling under the escort of the Holy Carpet, the Bedouin hostilities during the last two pilgrimages more than vindicate the despatch of a strong force, well armed and equipped, for the protection of the caravan. The Egyptian Government can scarcely be blamed for declining to cover the deficit from the funds of the State, since the native taxpayers of Egypt number probably as many Copts as Mussulmans. It is, moreover, questionable whether the pilgrims who journey on their own account and not under military protection fare at all so well in the end, either with respect to individual comfort or pecuniary outlay.

Excellent weather marked the opening meeting of the K.S.C.'s 1905-6 season yesterday. The fields were quite good and there were some excellent finishes, especially in the third race, which, after a most exciting struggle, ended in a dead heat. The fourth race was also well contested, as was the fifth and last of the day. Of the owners, Khalil Pasha Khayat opened the season admirably with three wins— one of them a dead heat. Ibrahim Bey Cherif with several horses running, was unlacky. The attendance was moderately good; there was, of course, a marked absence of the tourist element, but a good many well-known residents were present, among whom we noticed the Hon. F. O. Lindley,Gen. Bullock, Mr. Machell, Mr. Mitchell Innes, Mr. Webb, Mr. Carter Wilson, Mrs. Hunter, Col.

Mitwalli and Voyageur were in front at the start, with Vandal and Massoud well-up. Vandal soon took the lead and went ahead at the first corner, only to be challenged by Suheil and Massoud. At the turn the race was clearly Suheil's and he won pretty easily, Massoud being a moderate seoond and Vandal a fair third. Time : 1 38.

Saclawi, who was well backed, led and for the first part of race ran first, with Peacock and Metwalli close to him, Petrone and Hadeed waiting. Then Peacock drew ahead but Petrone now made a great effort and coming rapidly up, overhauled the leader only to be himself challenged by Hadeed. At the grand-stand Petrone looked beaten by a head but a last effort brought him level at the finish. Peacock wss a good third. Time: 4 8

Another good race, the horses getting off well, Sattame ahead. He was unable to keep up the paoe and one leader succeeded another, the rest keeping close up for some way, till Aboa Nadara got in front and was caught by Nimrod in the last quarter. Kawkab came up very strongly at the finish and beat Nimrod by a neck, Aboa Nadara being 2/3rds of a length behind. Time : 1.56.
An unpleasant incident followed this race, the well-known jockey, Jenkins, being suspended until further notice for fouling Nimrod and Abou Nadara. The stakes were therefore awarded to the second horse.

(Special to the Gazette)
With the first meeting of the Khedivial Sporting Club yesterday, the Cairo season of 1905 may be said to commence ; and from a woman's point of view it already promises well. Certainly there was no dearth of fresh and pretty frocks; snd there were several excellent examples of the prevailing fashion. Naturally one of the most striking figures present Was that of Mrs. Mc Lean, the bride of the moment. She was wearing a fine blue embroidered muslin robe with insertions and under sleeves of white lace, and a large veil of the same hue encircled her wide-brimmed hat. Her mother, Mrs. Royle, was also looking her best in a dark blue spotted silk muslin, made over and relieved with white. Mrs. Crookshank wore white with handsome insertions of white lace. There were many white frocks of course, and some especially handsome ones with edgings and insertions of broiderie anglaise, or very heavy lace. A very handsome French woman was wearing a tightfitting three-quarter coat of broiderie anglaise, ornamented with large embroidered buttons. The embroidery also appeared at the hem of the well-cut short white skirt, and the hat was made of the same embroidery with masses of pink roses tucked beneath the brim, and an enormous pink veil floating round it.
Miss Rees was well turned ont, as usual, and wore a soft grey frock, the short bolero showing lace above the waist line and in the vest. Her lace toque, turned high from the head at one side, was lined with black ; a black feather rested on her pretty hair. Mrs.de Codt had on a trim fitting blue dress adorned with edgings of tightly pleated lace, and there were several dainty frocks of tiny checked taffatas, the prettiest perhaps being in silver grey with tucks and ruchings of the same, and a soft folded waist band of a very soft shade of blue. Mrs.Hunter was in white with black at the waist and black wings in her hat; and with her was her sister, Mrs. Herbert; and also Mrs.Satow, the last mentioned in the palest softest blue skirt with corsage of Paris tinted lace. A very dainty frock of deep ivory voile was adorned with appliques of Oriental design in brown and blue; and with this was worn a large hat of shaded brown with tiny pink roses. Another beautiful gown was of palest champagne coloured cloth, the trailing skirt enriched with lace outlined with mole coloured velvet,which velvet also draped the slender waist and adorned the corsage. Originality was the leading note in a soft white silk lined with heliotrope. The corsage had a small pointed basque, and opened in the front to show the deep pointed and draped ceinture of the heliotrope. Feathers of the same shade appeared on the toque; and indead many shaded ostrich plumes were being worn in accordance with the latest decrees of fashion.

The Chairman, in proposing the adoption of the report, aaid : We have placed before yen ao detailed and comprehensive a statement cf the work acconn lished to the present time, and the arrangements we have in progress for onr future operations, that there is but little that I can add to that information to-day. Yon will realise that we have had a great deal to do to complete our organisation, situated as we are in a country where the conditions at the outset were far from favorable. When the Bgypt and Sadan Mining Syndicate, from whom we acquired the property we possess, first went into the desert in search of ancient mines, a more inhospitable country tor mining enterprise could scarcely have been lound, but that syndicate was fortunate in the selection cf its men to undertake that exploration, and what appeared to be almost insuperable obstacles to successful work were gradually surmounted, so that by the time negotiations were entered into with the syndicate for ac- quiring its rights over the concession many of the difficulties had been removed, and we had the further satisfaction of knowing that the syndicate had been successful in locating over 30 ancient mines, some of which h**ld out great promise of success. You will bo aware that the concession we control comprises an area of 92,000 square miles—an enormoos territory. Of the mines which bad been so discovered, the Om Nabardi, by reason of its situation within a reasonable distance of the Sudan Government Railway, and the extent of its old excavations, which bad been proved to be on auriferous reefs carrying good shoots of ore, was the one to which it was decided that this company should devote its atten- tion principally at the commencement of its operations. In respect of this mine the Egypt and Sudan Syndicate had obtained from the Sudan Government the promise of a grant of a mining lease of 156 acres for 91 years, renewable for a further 91 years, and it had also secured the renewal of the prospecting licence over the remaining portion of the concession for a further period of three years, endiog on August 31st, 1907, with the right to a further renewal in respect of some ten square miles surrounding the area comprised in the mining lease for four years, renewable for a further jfriod of four years. 8o that you will see, gentlemen, this company entered into posses- sion of the most valuable and extensive rights and privileges. The Egypt and Sudan Mining Syndicate, in the course of its development of the Om Nabardi mine, which had been attended with very gratifying success, had brought the work up to a point at which it had be- come necessary to equip it with machinery for deeper sinking. A difficulty which presented itself in connection with such equipment was the feet that we were 30 miles from the rail- way, and that to trans] ort engines, boilers and other heavy machinery across the desert by camel would be almost impracticable. Your directors therefore determined to construct a light railway from No. 6 eta'ion on the Govern- ment railway to the Om Nabardi Mine, the cost of which was provided for in the working capital raised. The order for the railway material and rolling stock was promptly placed, and the rails and one of the locomotives were shipped in October, 1904, a second locomotive following in December. Meanwhile, winding and other engioes, as well as electrical and gas pro during plants for operating them, also the ne- 1 osesary pomps for hauling water from the mine, j were in coorse of construction,and were practi- cally all shipped and at No. 6 station by the I time the railway was completed. The first1 j train through to Om Nabardi was dispatched : | on June 8th last, and naturally ofsointe-j resting and important an event your directors ' were advisod by cablegram, a message which they received with much pleasure and satis- faction. The establishment of this railway had thus removed one of the greatest draw backs which had been encountered in mining on the concession. The cost of the line was not a very serious matter, owing to the flat nature of the country and the few embank- ments and onttings rendered necessary, but had it been far more expensive than it has proved the compeneatoiy advantages would have fully just,lied the outlay. In the pros- pectus the directors put down £16,000 to £20,0(0 a? the possible cost of the work. Wo are glad, however, to state, as you will observe in the balance-sheet, that uptoJone 80th last, when the line was in foil working order, the outlay had only amounted to £13,976 13s lid— (bear, hear)-so that the expenditure was well within the estimate. The erection of the winding engines is now being proceeded with, and in the course of three or four months we hope to have the mine well equipped. At No. 6 station a platform has been built and a crane erected upon it. Other surface work has comprised the con- struction of roads, the levelling of ground for the foundations of the machinery, the erection of houses for the staff and the na- tives, etc., eta Wehave also established commu- nication between the Om Nabardi mine and the No. 6 station by means of a telephone, which naturally is a great convenience.and the Sudan Government has been good enough to erect a post rffice at No. 6 station and arrange a postal service in connection therewith for thebenefi' of the company. With regard to aotual mining developments at Om Nabardi, I do not propose to take up your time for more than a minute or so, as Mr. Robert Taylor, one of our managers, who.is also a direotor of the company, will deal with that matter presently. I would like, how ever, to say that we have good reason to be satisfied with our position' and prospects and t' at there is every indication that the Om Nabatdi mine is going to prove a profitable undertaking. We have now opened op a conti- nuous run of reef for a distauoe of 2,000ft, and expect to find it atorg the remaining distance pf 1.(8 Oft, or 3,000ft in all, which is the length of the Om Nabardi bhek. You will have gathered from our report and the more detailed report by Mr. Llewellyn annexed to it that valuable shoots of-roln-o leMi'aid open, showing in some in- stances h:g'i a is«y values, and Mr. Llewellyn tel'* ns h it th tendency isfor the reeftoimprovo inva'oeas t is followed downward Ofc)urse,at the pre-ent time our mine is shallow, but we hive already opened op a quantity of payable ere ground, and as soon as we can develop the reef at the 2 0 ft level, which work will bo taken in hand veiy shortly, we expect to very materially inorease our ore reserves. It may be thought by some of our shareholders that, with such good prospects and so great a length of reef proved, we should now erect a battery and gold recovery plant and commence making rotnms without further delay, and the direc- tors would bo it clioed to sympathise to some extent with that view. We would, however, ask you to exercise a little patience in this connec- tion, and leave it to the discretion of the board as to when this matter should be dealt with. (Il8ar, hear.) We may say that it is one which is prominently Wore us, but we are desirous, before erecting a battery, to havp at our disposal auoh a supply of ore as will ensure its permanent and uninterrupted run- ning, Such a reserve we anticipate the develop ment of the 200 ft level will give us. Until we have a larger quantity of water than our present operations s fiord it will not be wise to erect the first battery, at all events, on the mine und we are therefore contemplating the establishment of our milling plant on the banks of theNi!e,andhave alreadyboeu incommonica- tion with the Sudan Government on theaubjact. In the early portion of my address I mentioned that we possessed rights over 22,000 sqnare miles of country, and that thore have been discovered within the limits of the property over 30 ancient mining sites. We have been so far so mnch occupied with the important works we have had in hand at Om Nabardi that we have not been able to undertake prospecting operations outside that mine, but as soon as our machinery is going and we are in full working order the directors will be able to devote more attention to the other mining centres. Two blocks of about 1,000 square miles each have been snb-let to two exploration companies who have the necessary funds available to thoroughly prospect them. Ono of these companies is the Suakin Mining Syndicate, Limited, and the other the Mysore Reefs and General Explorati n (Jumper y. Limited. In the case of the former we receive for the option £500 in cash, and fnm the latter £1,000 in cash, and in the ev nt of those companies exercising the options this company would receive ir, each ease a furthi r £5,000 in rash, plus 15 percent in folly-paid shares of the nominal capita! of any company formed by them for di vi-'opii g the properties. We are glad to Bay that our 'abour supply continues eati-fec tory, and that some t-f the natives are proving themselves to be excellent workmen. I think I have now touched upon all the material points excepting that of the balance-sheet, upon which we shnll be glad to answer any questions you may wish to put to us. All the itemsofexpenditure are so olearly set forth that I do not think they require any comme it from me. The financial position is summed up in the fact that we have remaining over £80,000 of working crpital, after providing all the machinery required for the time being and defraying the cost of the construction of the railway, a posi'ion which you will agree with mo is an immensely satisfactory one.
Sir Charles Tennant seconded the resolution.
Mr. Robert Taylor having given mining details up to date, the resolution was put, and carried.
Only those who have followed the coarse of Egyptian affairs closely can folly appreciate the great prosperity now prevailing in this country. The improvement in the profits of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank of late years give*, however, some idea of the manner in which matters have progressed. From 1887, I the year when the capita! of this bank was . p'_aoed opop its typeent basis, ontil 1896 the I dividends announced rnled between 5 per cent and 6 per ceot., which cannot be considered a 1 b'gh retorn for a bank. From 1896, however, they rose steadily, and the distribution for the , yea** bas been 12$ per cent, whilst even then large margins for reserves have , remained over each year. Thus the profit of £115,108 shown for the twelve months ended August 31 allows of the distribution of 12$ per cent, for the year, the tnn.ftr of1 £30,000 to the pension reserve fnnd, and the inorease in the balance fotward from £15/00 to £'6,0T0. 8* large has been the margin be tween profits earned and dividends distributed that since 1896 the reserve has been raised from £90/100 to £500/)Q0, or an amount equal to the paid up capital, and only a moderate portion of this large addition has been due to premiums upon new capital. It is not snrpris ing, therefore, to find that, having built op the reserve to this excellent position, the board are taming their attention to providing a substantial pension food for the staff. ("St, Jame'i Gaiette").
We extraot the following .from our Londoi} financial contemporary "The Rialto " It most, however, be borne in mind that that newsr paper's opinions do not oarty mne)» weight: —
The circular issued by the Na'iqnal Bank of Egypt, offering for sale the entire capital of th* Bank of Abyssinia, via, 100.000 shares of £5 each, at the prioe-of £7, strikes ps as quite ft successful joke. An attempt appears to b* made to lrame the invitation to subscribe on the digrifivi lines usually associated with a huge loan isiued by'be Bank of England. In this case however, the National Bank of Egypt appears to cosupy the position both of vendor and promoter, and the details of the scheme, bo far as we can gather them from tb* vary meagre particulars supplied, promiepa very handsome return to that institution if tb* pnbl c think it worth while to relieve them of their interest. The National Bank ot Egypt, it appearsj has obtained frem the Emper. r Menelik a concession to constitute the com( pany under a kind of limited liability by-law, and the company has been duly founded undtr Egyptian law and authorised by Khedj'iel deoree, Menelik beipg its bpuanjg, president. This arrangement was completed on May 80th last, the capital of the company being, as stated above, 100,000 shares of £5 each. Sir oa that time, we are bound to presume, though we are provided with no data to go upon,' prospects have, so brightened that the Na, tioual Back of Egypt is anxiousr to tell tbq whole lot of the 100,000 shares, upon which 25*. has been paid, at theprice of £7, f wh'cH £2 is premium. This money is to be payable as to £2 10s. on application, 15s. on allotment, I and the briauCfl-Pl £315a. in calls, as required, to the Bank cf Abyssinia. That is to say, the National Bask of Egypt, having paid out 25'. per shire, is anxious to get that sum back! from the pptyio, together with a ly>nu* o' £2, For a business which cannot be said to havq started operations yet these terms strike ns ra be:ng somewhat steep. Certain privilegei are given to the Bank of Abyssinia by the Emproi Menelik, it is true; but we treat we shall not be showing undne respect to that dusky monarrl} if we suggest tbftt the promotion profit payable to him ought to have been disclosed, and would have bad to be bad this been a company promoted under English laws and by means of an ordinary prospeotus. However thftt may be, we CAonot fail to sdmire the hearty manner iq which the National Bank of Egypt looks after itself. It is, as the circular shows, anxious to dispose of its entire holding in the undertaking —and at a totally unwarranted premium, too — and at the same time to keep its linger in 'he pie. Ont of the net profits it is proposed to .sot aside 10 pre cent to form the ordinary ree-rve fund, then sufficient to pay 7 pp» rentj ''interest" to the shareholdt-rs, and, at;or thftt the remaining pn fit* ure to be divided as to 2f> per cent, to the National Bsnk of Egypt and 80 per cen'. to the shareholders. Suppose the National Bank of Egypt snojeads. nonrdinf to its desire*, in selling off the whole 10>,0CQ shares, why should it st ll retain an interest, u the profis f The thing is preposterous, and our readers had bettor leave it alone.
"Wealthy widower, prepossess'ng appear- J ance, wishes marry young lady, good looking, good tempered, dowry no objeot," is the sort ! of advertnement which, when inserted in a certain Parie daily which maker a peculiar feature of each notices, draws answers by the dorm. Girls, all considering themselves pretty and amiable, flocked to the address given. Simultaneously another advertisement appeaced : "Yonng orphan lady, dowry one million, : seeks gentlemanly husband, no fortune requir- ed." 8aores of young men, who were quite (»°re they were gentium nly, but had no£ I sixpence, flocked to the same address. The girls were received by a young wi mar, whp . introduced them severally to the wealthy * | widower, called a count or a baron, and in * j most cases it was resolved to pursne the i 3 j acquaintance farther, with a view to matn- i , mnny. The male applicants we{9 received by the man, who introduced them severely to the i woman, who is thirty, but dees not loojc her 1 age. and is remarkably handsome, thns being able to impersonate successfully th* young J orphan. In tb* case of the men also the meeting generally proved satiafaetory, and. each deluded male waa persuaded he bad found a catch. Subsequently each girl wfaq tbongty sh-v hsd s'enred the wealthy widowed noble- man, Mm each man who felt sore of obtaining the millionaire and pretty orphan, willingly paid in advance a handsome Obtqm^sion to the man or to the women respectively. The latter ' pooled the profits, and lived in loxnry upon i the prooeeds of the neat scheme. They are now ' | in prison on charges of swindling brought by 'one particularly gullible youth,, who paid a commission of £3,200 to the man and bought ' £800 worth of jewels for bis betrothed.

The greater part of the speech-making which graced the historic banquet at the Guildhall last night call for little commeut I agree with all that was said of our success in foreign policy and naval administration, though I cannot follow Mr. Aruold-Foraterin the roseate path of amazing optimism. But Mr. Balfour touched a more domestio chord in his appeal to benevolence to aid the operation of the much-disputed Unemployed Act. Ho did well to go out of his way to touch the subject and to remind his hearers that Loudon includos Belgravia as well as Poplar, Bermondsey as as well as Mayfair. For this year, and to meet tho present crisis, hope and relianoe can only be placed in the philanthropy of the well-to-do. It must fall short of the desired result, but we confidently hope thst it will respond with more elasticity than is at present apparent to the new demands made upon it But this gets as no forrader. Nor did Mr. Balfour attempt to outline any path of rational progress. Per- haps tho task is beyond him, but he and bis colleagues have to make efforts more large and more promising to devise some means of palliation that may te economically sound and reasonably hopefal if they are n .t to stand convicted of having neglected a duty and missed a peculiar opportunity.
The complimentary bat quet at which the Marquess of Lansdowne was entertained on Monday might was a gratifying mark of the . success which has attended hii labours at tl e Foreign Office. In his speech responding to the { toast, the first part of which was devoted to the Anglo Japanese Alliance, he recognised that there was, happily, no need to defend the ' pol'oy the Goverr ment has pursued, since it I has been cordially welcomed by the people 1 of the United Kingdom as a whole; the mo.-1 ] statesmanlike of the Radical leaders have con- curred in its aims. Mr. Courtney was indeed almost tin only politician who pretested, an 1 he remains quite conspicuously solitary. Ti e main advantages of the Alliance wore seen im- mediately on its publication, and Lord Lons- downo could do little more than repeat them. It secures pcaoe in Asia on the basis of mutual defence against unprovt ked attack. Tbsf/rrain- teuai ce of the status quo in the Far East is guaranteed. Finally, it is directed against ro other Power, and it was sigoed in no spirit of aggression. Visoonnt Hayasbi, epeakirg for the country of which be is Minister, assure l those present that it evoked the same senti- ments in Japan as among ourrelvet and it is evident that ih* Japanese, having lecure.l their rights after a series of UDparallelid victories, are now animated by a desire fi>r peace, in which alone their institutions and . commerce can folly develop.
In many ways Lady Florence Dixie was a remarkable woman, and although her name came somowhat prominently before the public a few months ago, when she expressed the belief that the body of her brother, who was lost on the Matterhorn, would be brought down this year by the action of the glacier, it is a long while sirce (he caused many mild sensations by oenduot and opinions which, to say tho least of it, were in advanoe of her times. It was when she was living at the Fii heries, near Windsor, that the public were startled by her description of an attack made apod her by two persons dressed as women, who drew a dagger; and although the story was a circumstantial one, no confirmation was ever obtained. When Queen Victoria sent her faithful at'ondant, John Browo, to inquire afier her condition he contracted the chill which resulted in his death.
When Whitaker Wright purchased the manor of Willey ho became tho owner of Hindhead, the best known of all the Surrey hills. It was felt that this beautiful spot should be secured for the public, and the Commons Preservation Society, in view of the sale last Thursday, appealed, the "Times" states, to the neigh- bourhood, the appeal meeting with a warm and ready response.
The time was short, but a local committee was formed, and a few residents generously joined in a guarantee which enabled a bid to bs made with some chance of success. At the last moment, indeed, there was grave risk of miscarriage. The views of vendor and pur- chaser as to the selling value of the Hind- head commons were not at one, and the com- mons would have been lost had it not been for the publio spirit and determination of the representatives of the committee and notably of a lady resident who was present in the auction'room.
In the result the property was bought on bcltilf of the committee at a price which, though substantial, compares very favorably both with the sum which Mr. Whitaker Wright is understood to have pvid and with the sums pa:d for such open spaces as Epping Forest and Wimbledon Common.
Hindhead is now secure from encroachment and depredation at the hands of any aggres- sive or speculative manorial lord, and will remain in perpetuity a natrenal possession.
Parliament will be asked next session to authorise tire construction of a new road which it is proposed to set apart entirely for motor vehioles between London and Brighton,
Tho scheme for a special motor-road to Brighton is only ths forerunner of similar | schemes in other parts of the country. Plans for two other roads have bean prepared, but these will be held in abeyauce for tho present, so that the experience gained in the Brighton experiment may be assimilated.
Behind the proposal are a number of in- fluential people, and a farther guarantee that the undertaking is a sound one and has been well considered is f ruished by the fact that Sir D logins Fi-x is the engineer.
The new road will begin at Norbury, near the eighth milestone, where a junction a ill bo tffected with the existing London to Brighton main road. It will proceed in an almost diroot courre, à eping very near to the railway ronto the whole way.
The speoial road will end at Patcham, not far from Preston Park Station, and tho motor- cars will again pars on to the existing main road at this point. Tin total length cf the now road is forty miles.
Full details have been compiled by the French Heme Office conoerning the number of motor cars in use in Franoe at the presentmoment, and they are of a nature (saya the "Car Illustrated") to astonish those who still antertain the beliefs that we are behind Franoe in respect of the growth of antomobilism. As à matter of fact, it is now almost a cue of '"Eolipse first and the rest nowhere." The \ whole number of automobiles in Franoe to ( date is only 21,624, as against 17,107 last year and 12,984 in 1908. Now, no c fiioial figures have been forthcoming for a long time past as to the cars used in this country, but we should be very much surprised indeed if the rooords of the oounty councils did not show 40,000 oars to hate been registered to date under the new Aot In London alone the registrations amount to 13,000 cars and motor cycles, of which at least half are cars, without reckoning those registered in the parts of the Metropolis contained in Middlesex and Surrey. Paris, on the other hand, can only show a total of 4,067. All of which shows that antomobilism is gaining ground in the United Kingdom at a rata far more rapid than that of France, notwithstanding her long start and other contingent footers of a favorable kind which are absent in our own case.
The collected evidence of a hundred and twenty witnesses is of neoessity voluminous, almost to the point of bewilderment But from the mass of representative opinion, tabulated and just published by the Royal Commission on London Traffic, in a farther issue of two bulky blue-books, one point at any rate emer- ges clear and unmistakable—the general desire for the appointment of a new oentral authority, which (hall in the fature wield the supreme control over the roads and ways of London.
London's conservatism is illustrated by many figures in the latest volumes of the Royal Commission on London Traffio. We may build new bridges and make new thoroughfares to relieve the congestion of the old, but people remain loyal to the routes they know best. I London Bridge, for examp'e, is still an easy first in popularity. Daring a given week it acoommodated no fewer than 125,373 vehioles, whereas the Tower Bridge could only muster 85,353. Then, more than 70,000 people nse Fleet Street in the coarse of a twelve-honr day, while only 17,000 divert their steps to the Embankment. This, too, in spite of the earnest efforts of the authorities to turn the traffic into newer directions by continually brealricg! up the streets. In twelve months 435 openings were made in the Strand, and 54 at Charing Cross. It is no good. Men and women will stick to the old beaten paths. How long it will. take Kingsway to get a fair share of patronage may bo determined somewhere about the. middle of next century.
Oar new Underground is gradually gaining a firm hold on the popular favor. There have naturally been a good many oritioisms. Apart from the mark which novelty offers to a section of opinion, the early and experimental stages are particularly liable to little faults and break- downs. But probably no one will deny now that the service is already infinitely preferable to the old rdgime. To-day another and impor- tant stage is reached with tbe acceleration of the trains. The Inner Circle journey has ten minutes knocked off it, and over other distan- ces corresponding gains will be made. The change is very welcome.
Some little time ago a rumonr was circulated to the effect that the Channel Tunnel scheme is about to be aotively revived by the intro- duction of a Bill seeking legislative sanction for the famous projeot in the next session of Parliament I am in a position to state that no such decision has been arrived at by the di- rectors of the Channel Tunnel Company. It is their intention on an early date to hold a meeting and review the whole position in the light of the cordial relations which now exist between England and Franoe, but I believe it is highly/improbable that they will prooecd forthwith to cbal'eoge a direot Parliamentary issue by the introduction of a private Bill. One consideration which will naturally weigh with them in coming to this conolusion is the extreme uncertainty of the existing Parlia- mentary situation.
The servant difficulty is becoming excruciat- ing. The secretary of tbe Arachne Club, which aims, among other things, at the training rf ladies as domestios, says that the difficulty of obtaining cooks, gentlewomen or otherwise, is greater than ever. "A number of the ladies whom we train as cooks leave us to go home, and do not go out to service at all Many of our lady cooks will go into flats,where there is no heavy work, such as carrying coals, but it is very difficult to persuade thom to t*kc a situation in a largo house."

The next troopship which will leave Southampton in connection with the Egyptian reliefs is the Dunera. Her date of departure is fixed for the 10th February, 1906.
The 4th Battalion Rifle Brigade, numbering 15 officers and 550 non-commissioned officers and men, exclusive of a draft of two officers and 151 non-commissioned officers and men for the 2nd Battalion, which is under orders to leave Egypt for Chaobattia, India, embarked on the S.S. Assays at Southampton on the 8th inat., en voyage to Malta, where it will be stationed. The second in command of the 3rd Battalion, Major V. A. Coupir, should get the command of the 4th Battalion next month, when Colonel Leslie completes his four years.
Captain C. E Birch, formerly of the Royal Berkshire Regiment, who for a considerable period was a District Commissioner in Sierra Loone Protectorate, has been selected for the adjutancy of the Fiji Armed Constabulary at Suva. Captain Birch, who went on hall pay twelve months ago, was engaged in the Sierra Leone operations of 1898 9, for which he holds the medal with olasp.
Lieutenant the Hon. Carley D. Baring, 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, brother of Lord Ashburton, has been selected for the appoint- ment of aide-de-oamp to Major General Inigo E Jones, C.B., recently appointed to the command of the troops at Singapore. Lieute- nant Baring entered the Coldstreamers in February, 1899, and served with them in the South African War, including the aotions of Belmont, Enilin.Modder River, Magenfontein, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Diamond Hill, Belfast, and numerous minor affairs in the oolonies (medal with six olasps, King's medal with two clasps).
Last Sunday was the 51st anniversary of the "Soldier's Battle" of Inkerman, in which the 49th Regiment—now the 1st Battalion of the Royal Barks— played a gallant part. In that desperate series c f fights in which every Briton was opposed by half a dozen Russians the 49th performed prodigies of valour. At one point where a huge oolumn of Russians were advancing on Hill Bend, 183 of the men of the 49th were posted under Captain Bellairs—now L;eutenant-General Sir William Bellairs, K.C.M.G., C.B., oolonel of the Royal Berks. "Fix bayonets and advanoe," oried Bellairs, and without firing a shot the handful of rtdooats charged into the oolumn and rooted it amidst hearty cheers. At Inkerman the 49th lost Major Dalton, who commanded it, and Lieutenant A. S. Armstrong, and 41 non- commissioned officers and men killed, and 107 non commissioned officers and men wounded. It right nobly won the honor of "Inkerman" for the colours.
Unpleasant stories are onrrent of friction amounting to aotuaRstrife in Pall MalL It is said that the Army Counoil are at issue with the War Chief upon the most pressing questions of the hour. The military members are not in aooord with the Secretary of State's views, and are disposed to protest openly against his polioy in the matter of enlistment and the steps contemplated as to ths long and short service armies. That they have not gone this length is a fair proof that the differanoes may yet be arranged, for if anyone dissents from his colleagues, he is bound, by his terms of office, to resign. Certainly they have not been very ready to do so hithsto, but they may not have fislt it necessary aoy more than they do now. Another explanation is, however, offered, namely, that the doubtfal measures were really initiated by the Cabinet, and that it would not be seemly for the Army Counoil to demur at a decision of the supreme authority. At the same time it is the Counoil's doty, as expert*, to protect the publio agaimt the adoption of a mistaken policy. Some people think that it would have been better if, in the first ins tan oe, a representative of the Bsher Committee had been appointed to the War Office governing body. Even if we conoede the very doubtful benefit that accrued from the drastio reorgani- sation then introdcoed it would be diffioult to say which one of the triumvirate should have been ohosen. There was an idea, of oouree, that Lord Bsher himself should replaoe Mr. Arnold-Forster as Secretary of State, a plan that would scarcely have commended itself to all the world. Naturally, Sir John Fisher was shut out by his profession, and the only mem- bor eligible would have been the third, Sir George Sydenham-Clarke. Few soldiers can well conoeive of that brilliant young Sapper as Chief of the General Staff or Adjutant or Quartermaster-General
The splendid performance of the gunners 6f the armoured oruiser Leviathan, flagship of Rear-Admiral the Hon. Hedworth Lambton, commanding the Third Cruiser Squadron, will go a long way in rehabilitating the prestige of the Mediterranean Fleet, which had suffered reoently through indifferent battle practice. The score of 69 hits beats the soore reoently made by the King Edward VII. flagship of the Atlantio Fleet. The handymen of the Leviathan were worthy of the praise aooprded to them by Lord Charles Beresford. Such a performance creates a healthy spirit of emulation and rivalry, to the general good of the service.

This is a condition (or disease) to which doctors give many names, but which few of them really understand. It it simply weakness—a break-down, as it were, of the vital forces that sustain the system. No matter what may be its causes (for they are almost numberless), its symptoms are much the same; the more prominent being sleeplessness, sense of prostration or weariness, depression of spirits and want of energy for all the ordinary affairs of life. Now, what alone is absolutely essential in all such cases is increased vitality—vigour--
