For the moment the tension that has been existing between the Sultan and the Powers is releived, and the Sublime Porte is state to have accepted the Macedonian financial scheme subjecct to numerous modifications. The crisis, it is hardly needful to point out, is only temporaryily releaved even if we assume that the Sultan's concessions are genuine, ffor the Macedonian problem will never be solved by the peaceful methods of diplomacy or such mild acts of coercion as the seizure of custom houses. The Blue Book issued yesterday week on the situation shows very clearly the disturbed state of the country, and gives information as to the steps taken by the Powers to bring about an improvement. Whether the measures that have been, and are now being taken will improved the position is quite a different matter; unfortunately there is not much room for hope that they will. The fault does not rest with the Sultan, as some agitators would have us believe. It is true, of course, that his honesty of the officials is seldom very conspicious; but the main difficulty is in the dissensions of the Christian. The creeds of the rival sects are still of that sturdy nature which disdains toleration: and accordingly the long list of Macedonian outbreaks contain many outrages and murders committed by one Christian body on the other, while the Turkish Government looks on, only occasionally interfering that it may impartially massacre both. Whille the Churches are strong enough to defy the Government and to play on the fanatic feelings of their followers by egging them on, and while the neighboring States are able to interfere and to stir up racial as well as religious strife, it is safe to predict that the condition of Macedonia will not be greatly ameliorated. The establishment of a strong Administration able to depress disorder severly, whether committed by Christian of Turk, seems to real way out; but at the moment it is not possible; and the other alternative suggested, that the country shall be divided among the disputants, would probably lead to open war.
There are several points of view from which the coming increase in the German navy mmay be regarded- for the decision to build larger battleships constitutes a substantial increase even though the numbers may not be augmented. From one point of view, of course, it is a confession of allure, emphasised by the fact that the Germans hitherto have built small battleship as a matter of deliberate policy. In learning the lesson from the 14,100 tons of the Royal Sovereigns, which is to entail still further enlargement, but we have never found at one moment the necessity for the immense expenditures which must be incurres by the German empire in the widening of the KAirser Wilhelm Canal as well as by the enlargement of docks an the deepening of the fair ways of the harbours. The need which entails all this is obviously urgent, and the thinking department of the German warlike services is sound and sure. The "big battleship" questionn is settled for a long time to come.
The point to be considered by us is, of course, what effect will the increase in the German fleet have upon our own programmes of the future? Their estimates will amount to £15,500,000 a year in future, and the personnel is to be increased by 18,000 men and 600 officers. The actual addition to the numbers of the fleet will be (if the Reichstag accepts the Bill), six armoured cruisers of the largest size, and fifty sea going torpedo craft. The first point which occurs is, obviously, that by building cruisers of power equal, or superior, to any of ours up to the Minataur class the Germans have put an end to belief that we could, at a pinch, use our cruisers in line against their light battleships. At the same time, the belief which some people hold in the Triumph and Swittsure receives a damper. Even the Canopus class will shortly be of doubtful value in the North Sea.
But the chief question which we have todecide is politico strategic. What is the underlying object of the Emperor and his advisers. It gives offence to speak of German Navy as the Kaiser's "toy"; and the postulate sometimes advanced as an axiom that the German Empire must have a fleet commensurate to its dignity as a Great Power puts that navy much in the light of a toy; or at any rate, of the carriages and horses requisite for a big wig to keep up his position. It would be an insult to so keen a stateman as Kaiser Wilhelm to suppose that he intended to expend enourmous sums of money, involving severe new taxation, without a definite end in view. Let it be said at once that there is no good ground for supposing that the German navy is being increased with any intention of attacking England. The next great bid for world power on the part of the Germans will take place when the throne of the Emporer Franz Josef is vacant, and the most serious obstacle in the way of German ambition is France. That is, perhaps, now recognised by the French, who, simultaneously with the new German advance are about to inaugurate a new era of shipbuilding, framed to keep them at least upsides with their spectaculr enemy when both programmes are completed.
If this hypothesis be correct, the gravity of our own task is enhanced, not diminished. We are on excellent terms with France, and hope with all our hearts that we shall for ever remain so. But it is a far cry to 1917, and in the meantime, the standard of our fleet is still "equality with the fleets of the two next strongest Powers, with a margin." France and Germany competing with each other, therefore, impose upon us the task of keeping a breast of the two. We have always deprecated the cry for huge shipbuilding programme, which the necessities of the case did not seem to demand. But a new fact has arisen. In twelve years' time the "two next strongest Powers" will possess thirty six battleships of a class purerior to all the vessels we possess, save nine; vessels embodying not only evolutionary progress, but a new theory of naval warfare. It is not too much to say that we shall require to build from thirty to thirty four vessels of equal power during that period. In fact, our normal programme will have to be three battleships a year for a considerable part of the time. Of armoured cruisers, as expensive now as battleships were a few years ago, the number requisite cannot be estimated. Such is the price of Admiralty- the necessary price of national security- in an era when the world prates of disarmament and arbitration.

Military mutinies are spreading throughout the country. Occasionally the loyal troops intervene, but in general they are unopposed. A battalion at Ekaderinoday seized the arsenal and marched to Novorosyk, where they won over the garrison and armed the workmen. In another case a regiment demanded the removal of unpopular officers. The colonel complied. (Reuter)
The police arrested the chairman of a meeting of telegraph strikers yesterday. The strikers replied by seizing a police officer. The prisoners were eventually exchanged. The instances are significant of the fact that the authorities are conscious of their impotence. (Reuter)
The Ambassadors have agreed, but they have referred the Turkish amendments to their Governments.

Sir Archibald Hunter has been gazetted General. (Reuter)
The promotion of General Hunter, announced in to-day's telegram, will cause general satisfaction in Egypt and the Sudan where the gallant General has so many friends. If Lord Kitchener was the brain of the Egyptian army, General Hunter was its sword arm. For fourteen years he was in the front of all the fighting on the Southern border. He was Intelligence Officer during the anxious days before Ginnis, when the Camerons and 9th Sudanese were beset by triumphant Dervishes in Kosleh fort, and reinforcements were far to the northward. Going out on a sortie one day, he lingered behind the retiring force to pick off Dervishes with a rifle he was wont to carry on such occasions; there he received a wound in the shoulder, which he is not quit of today. When Nejumi came down in '89, Hunter was in the front of everything: he fought all day at the head of the blacks at ARgin, and commanded a brigade of them at Toski. He was again woundeda spear thrust in the arm while he was charging the thickest of the Dervishes at the head of the 13th. Thereafter he was Govenor of the frontier at Halfa, Govenor of the frontier at Dougola, Govenor of the frontier at Berberalways on the frontier.
The late G.W. Steevens, in "With Kitchener to Khartoum," thus describes him:- "When there was fighting he always led the way to it with his blacks, whom he loves like children, and who love him like a father. Fourteen years of bugle and bullet by night and day, in summer and winter, fighting Dervishes year in and year out- till fighting Dervishes, Dervishes has come to be a holy mission, pursued with a burning zeal akin to fanaticism. Hunter Pasha is the crusador of the nineteenth century. In all he is and does he is the true knight-errant- a paladin drifted into his wrong century. He is one of those happy men whom nature has made all in one piece- consistent, simple, unvarying; everything he does is just like him. He is short and thickset; but that, instead of making him unromantic, only draws your eye to his long sword."

"C.B." to Lead Commons
Sir E Grey's Attitude
London, December 8
Yielding to the wishes of the Radicals, Sir Henry Cambell-Bannerman has decided to lead the Commons. Sir E Grey declines to join the Cabinet, desiring Mr. Asquith to lead the Commons and Sir Henry the Lords. This will mecessitate the recasting of the Cabinet.
The Radicals insist that the leader of the people's party with a programme of social legislation must remain in the House of Commons. Sir E. Grey considers that Mr.Asquith is better able to unite the Imperialist and Radical wings of the party, and that Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman can not only serve the party better in the Lords, but that he will have more leisure to discharge the multifarious duties of the Premiership.
Sir E. Grey and Mr. Asquith have been called to meet Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman today.

From our Correspondent
Luxor, Dec 8
An exciting incident occurred yesterday in the hills in the neighbourhood od Edfou, where a patrol of coastguards came unexpectedly upon the notorious brigand chief, Yassine, who attacked some men, employed by a mining company, last week in the desert by Keneh. An engagement ensued wherein Yassine was shot dead. The neighbourhood is much relieved to be free for ever of the presence of this savage outlaw.
"Deltaner"(Alexandria) writes:-
A great deal has been said in you columns on the above subject and I have reason to believe that it has not always been said in vain. I therefore hope that my letter will help to stop an act of great cruelty, which is daily to be witnessed in the streets of our town. I refer to the carrying about og live wild ducks, which are often bound together by the feet and slung over men's shoulders in bundles of forty and more. These poor animals, with their legs and wings tied together by rough grass hope, suffer terrible pain being carried in this way the whole day long though the streets and every minute roughly handled to show them to likely buuyers. With great exertions they try to keep their heads up as long as they can but pain added to thirst soon makes them weak and finally their heads drop, many of them weak and finally their heads drop, many of them being blinded to keep them quiet. Do people who see them carried past ever think of what excruciating agony these poor beasts must suffer? Why should their torturers not be compelled to carry them in cages if they are allowed to carry them about alive? Is this not a striking case for the S.P.C.A.? A duck is also an animal, why should it not be protected as other animals are?Certainpeople will probably mutter or even print something about "semtimitialist" and declare that it is not right to disturb poor people in gaining their daily bread. The cost of "caffas" will not ruin the dealer in ducks, but the critic would probably reverse his view of the case if he were forced to look at it with his feet over his head for twelve hours and the weight of his body pulling at his ankles.

The tendency of British manufacturers to recognise the importance of combining their interests for purposes of representation is growing space, and it is significant that the growing trae in Egypt and the Sudan is having the effect of causing our firms to give a great amount of causing our firmsto give a great amount of attention to this part of Africa.

A orowded and enthusiastic andience last night listened to the production of Giordano's opera Fedora at the Zizinia Theatre. The orchestra, presided over by Signor Giovanni Zaocani, ably rendered the composer's work, bat the clou of the performance were the singing and acting of Signora Gemma Ballincioni. In such an operatio work as Fedora, written bo as| to make the culminating music of every act fall within the role of the prima donna, sn00888 depends upon that lady's weal talents and histrionio abilities, and Signora Bellincioni displayed both to an eminent degree. The pertection of dramatio art was exemplified by her through the whola opera, accompanied by an achievement as vocalist which, in the recond act, obtained for ber, in anion with other prominent members of the companyi' no less
than fontcalls before the curtain. Her continual, | but never exaggerated, and always appropriate, changes of facial expression were an ideal embodiment of dramatio art ; but the inental effort necessary for these was not permitted to detract from the vocal expression. The climax of the score in the first act, where Fedora sings at the death-bed, exhibited the composer at his best, and the numeroas duets in the second act were finely rendered ; Signor Palet singing with much verve and excellent voice,sometimes perhaps with a little excessive gestare, the somewhat prolonged sections allotted to him. In the third act Signora Bellincioni attained a farther triumph in her rendering of the prayor -perbaps the most melodions number of Giordano's work. The whole performance of the opera was excellent, but if the interval between the acts could by a little energy be shortened it would be an advantage.

At the séance to be held this afternoon of the Alexandria Arobæological Society Mr. Breccia will give a summary of the results of recent research for antiquities in the neighbour. hood of Alexandria. The most successful have been those continued at the Chatby necropolis, the accountá of former exploration at which have appeared in the year book of the German Arcbæological Institute.
Among the most important objects jast secured are some diminutive pyramide,in raised sections, surmounted wth & stele in relief or painted ; also several funeral stela whose design is copied from Attic grave reliefs. More valuable than these are some painted stela, which are really artistic and of merit. A series of urns and vages, decorated with colored festoons of flowers and numerous terra-cotts statuettes, complete the trouvaille.
At the mound where "Pompey: Pillar" stands a fragment of block granite statue of Psammetious I has been unearthed, in an attitude of adoration, also ten statues of royal guards of the Ptolemaic epocb and a splendid torso of a prieit of Serapis.
At the Necropolis of Strabo a tomb has been found decorated, and a painted sarcophagus, with Beats for officials and an altar for fanerary offerings.
The account by M. Breccia is merely provi. sionary and will be followed by fall and proper de criptions in the scientifio journals, which will, we are sure, enhance his reputation as an arobreologist.

We have received the following telegram from our native contemporary "Al Lewa": --
"Please declare the utter falsehood of the rumours published by one of the Alexandrian Arabic papers which stated that the Government threatened 'Al Lewa' for its attitude, for they are strictly unfounded.

The statement referred to appeared in "Al Shark." In yesterday's issue of the "Progres," however, we find the following paragraph :
Nous croyons savoir que le gouvernement a fait comprendre, ces derniers jours, à Mustapha pacha Kamel, qu'il doit mettre une sourdine à ses exaltations patriotico-religieuses, s'il ne veut s'exposer à subir les conséquences de ses excitations.

of Several ladies and gentlemen staying at the various hotels are to be seen riding out in the morninga. A few days ago, an Baglish lady had a very narrow escape from what, if she had not been an excallent horsewomad,.would have been n a very serious accident. Accompanied by a gentleman, the lady was riding out in the direction of the Nile, when saddenly, through some mischanoe, her horse stumbled and was brought | down to its knees.- The lady oried out in evident alarm, but at the same time showed the greatest coolness, and throwing back the weight of her body, she speedily brought up the horso again, and rode on. The hyrse, however, was so affrighted that the gentleman bad e to alight and lesd it for some distance before it could be induced to proceed quietly.
A few evenings ago the electric light suddenly went ont, leaving houses and streets in darkness. It was abont the dinner hour and I people had to dine by lamp and candle light,| a thing which most of them had nearly forI gotten how to do. Some more or less amusing Tincidents are reported as having popurred. In one of the hotele, the company had nearly finished dessert when the light went out. Lamps were procured and the conversation went on, one lady remarking to her hnaband that he ooght not to have salated her in the darkness. The hasband said he had not done so I

Considerable aneasiness was caused among certain people in Helouan on Wednesday by the ramour of a chatemplated Massulman uprising against the Christians. Some Rassian Jawa who had come to the town apon hearing the romoor speedily left for Cairo, and it was reported that many others who had arrived from Europe with the intention of coming to Helonan to spend the winter, bad remained in Cairo. It was feared that, to some extant at | least, the rumour would have affected the prospects of the season at Helocan, but yesterday, a number of those persons who had remained in Cairo found themselves sufficiently reassured to continue their joqraey. There does not seem to be ground for the story that a lady staying at Helogan has been molested by an Arab, but I understand that during a discussion with regard to the alleged projected aprising, one Arab in the service of a Baropean expressed his intention to kill his employer first of all. Among Europeans generally, howover, there has been no alarm whatever, and no importance at all is attached to the rumours of a distarbance.
Many visitors to Helouan complain of the long time taken by some of the trains in making the journey from Cairo. Whilst allow. ing that it may not be possible for all trains to cover the distance in thirty-five minutes, as is done by the best of the expresses, it is felt that it is really too much to ba compelled to spend an hoor within a few minutes on the way. There is also a movement on foot to request the railway authorities to provide more accommodation for non-smokers.
