The Egyptian Gazette The English Daily Newspaper, Established 1880 Editor and Manager R. Snelling, Price: ONE PIASTRE TARIFF. MONDAY. JANUARY 8 1906
An interesting portion of the Financial Adviser's Report is that which refers to1 the State Railways, and the importance of certain conclusions there in enunciated is only equaled by the satisfaction we must feel in this evidence of the recognition of defects and determination to remove them The important principle is accepted that these railways are to be ran on business lines, and not as a Department of the State, to be squeezed for all it is worth regardless of consequences. Apparently, from the "proposal" to establish a capital account it is not known what their yield has been on their cost, bat it mast have been large and consequently there was small reason for the starvation of the undertaking. Certainly fortune has favoured the railways. To make up or past neglect a great deal of money has now to be spent, bat with the receipts increasing so enormously and the greater facilities and efficiency to be secured in the working, there should not be any in rease in the proportion of expenses to earnings. In any other country the success of our railways might have invited competition, and the consequences, under the circumstances as exist, weald have been serious. Our railways continue practically a monopoly. In this respect fortunately they are in no state of transition. The changes made and contemplated, so far as we know them, are in the direction of efficiency and economy They are based upon the Report of Lord Farrar's Commission. They are being or have been followed up by Sir Charles Scotter, the wellknown Chairman, and perhaps better known as late General Manager, of the Loudon and South Western Railway, and by Major Le Breton, whose valuable work is recognized in this report What it his been possible for him to carry out in the Accounts and Audit Departments mast be at least equally s) in the other departments which have been more under the control of English officers, and, for present purposes, we readily accept Sir Charles Scotter's readiness and ability to do it and we hope not only to have Accounts and Audit Departments bat a system of State Railways which will not compare unfavourably with similar concerns -elsewhere. We have ample reason to know that Lord Cromer and his principal Advisers take keen personal interest in the subject with which we are dealing, we are equally bound to recognise the enormous amount of work the high officials have on their hands. We were therefore quite prepared for the adoption by them of the recommendation for the establishment of a Railway Board. We folly appreciate the great advantage of snob officials being members thereof bat we confess to feeling some disappointment in the absence therefrom of railway experience independent of what has to be remedied. It is to be hoped that this want may yet be supplied in the form of a Secretary to the Board. In regard to the "personnel" of the railways we presume that the General Manager will be as responsible and as free hare as elsewhere for bringing and keeping it up to date, and in both of these tasks he mast feel the advantage of Sir Charles Scatter's experience. We have heard him described as the beet general manager ever possessed by the best manage 1 railway in Eiglani from a shoreholder's point of view and as "Scotter" then "Scott", who immediately preceded him and was similarly esteemed. The circumstances here are different to those in England, but a railway is a railway all the world over. Departments are the same and so should the working be as nearly as possible. We do not accept the idea that railways cannot be efficiently worked out of England, for the contrary has been proved. Neither do we believe that efficient servants cannot be made out of the Egyptians. What we do hold is that efficiency is economy though it has to be paid for, and the question for Sir Charles Scotter to decide is whether or not we have the necessary efficiency both in quality and quantity, or whether in either case we adopt the false economy of refusing to pay for it.

The Grand Cadi has returned to Cairo, where he arrived at 3 p.m. on Saturday, being met at the station by numerous friends. H. H. the Khedive was represented by Ali Bey Shabin, who welcomed the Grand Cadi in the Ruler's name.
Sheikh Yehia afterwards proceeded to Koubbeh Palace, where he was received in private andience by H.H. the Khedive.
Our contemporary "Al Lewa" published on Saturday an account of a conversation with Ghazi Ahmed Mukhtar Pasha on the subject of the Grand Cadi's retirement. The Pasha stated that he had never opposed Sheikh Yehia's nomination and had always been on the best of terms with the Grand Cadi, whose character and abilities he greatly admired. He stated that when the Grand Cadi informed him of his summons and asked him what he thought was the reason, he replied that he had believed that Sheikh Yehia himself had asked to be allowed to leave Egypt. The Ottoman High Commissioner added tbat he had pointed out to the Porte that the Egyptian Moslems had shown a lively interest in the question, and that on hearing of the restoration of Sheikh Yehia to the Grand Cadiship he had addressed a telegram to the Sultan expressing the gratitude of the Egyptian Moslems.
On being asked why "Al Moayad" had carried on so vigorous a campaign against the Grand Cadi, the Pasha gave the following answer to his interviewer, Mustapha Pasha Kamel:
' The reason is obvious enough ; the owner of 'al Moayad' has his private grudge against the Grand Cadi. It is a subject which I would not have discussed but for your question. I have nothing but contempt for 'Al Moayad's' language. However, sensible people know what 'Al Moayad' is worth."
This is an admirable puff for the "Lewa" and its editor, and the motives for its publication are obvious. In an article in reply to a statement of "Al Shark" that the editor of an Egyptian newspaper had written to Izzet Pacha a very unfavourable account of the Cadi, "Al Moayad" remarks: "We have not written a word to anybody at Constantinople either agaist Shaikh Yehia or any other person, and Izzet Pacha is far above using his personal influence to harm any one merely for the sake of a friend. The Grand Cadi has arrived in Egypt and he can learn that this story is nothing but a tissue of fabrications. Sheikh Yehia may perhaps solve the mystery in which the question is shrouded."
To-day being the anniversary of his accession to the Khediviate, his Highness held a largely attended reception at Abdeen Palace.
The reception held by H.E. the Governor of Alexandria was also largely attended this morning.
On the occasion of the anniversary of the Khedive's accession, the Khedivial flag is floating over Fort Kom-el-Dik and is con- -picuous in every part of the city. In the harbour the warships and other vessels in port have dressed rainbow fashion, and at noon the Swedish frigate Freja fired a salute of 21 guns in honour of the oocaaion.
Prince Charles William of Sweden, Duke of Sudermania, left Alexandria} for Cairo on Saturday. His Royal Highness, who was accompanied by the commandant of the Swedish frigate Freja and his aide-de-camp, drove from the quay to the Moharrem Bey terminus in a carriage placed at his disposal by H. E the Governor. At the station to see him off were M. Silfwerbjelm, acting Swedish Vice- Consul, and Mme. Silfwerbjelm (from whom H.R.H. was pleased to accept a lovely bouquet), besides a number of Swedish subjects resident at Alexandria.
His Royal Highness left by the noon train in a special saloon carrage which was put at his disposition by H.H. the Khedive and on arrival at Cairo was met at the Bab el Hadeed station by Lewa Watson Pasha, D.S.O., who welcome! him in the Khedive's name.
Prince Charles, who is now stopping at Shepheard's, intends to pay a visit to Luxor in the near feature; and on leaving Egypt will proceed to Constantinople, where he is doe at. the end of the month.
H.H. the Khedive paid a visit to Prince Charles at Shepheard's Ho'el this morning, after the reception at Abdeen Palace.
In an official note the Director of the Public Health Department informs the Cairo doctors that sterilised tubes and other necessaries for the treatment of diphtheria are to be had at all the pharmacies. These will be delivered free of charge to any doctor requiring them. Bacteriological examinations have been regularly made for the past three years at Cairo, and doctors should have recourse to them to aid their diagnosis in all suspected cases. If any case of diphtheria is diagnosed in any member of a family an injection of Strom should be administered to all the children in the infected house and neighbouring houses as a precautionary measure. 2, prophylactic injeotions have been made in similar cases by the inspectors of the Administration during the past two years and a second case has been very rare among those entreated. Should there be any difficulty in procure g good anti diph- th eretic serum it can always be obtained from the Sanitary Administration.
The Savoy Hotel was very full again on Saturday night, both at dinner time and after wards, when everyone drifted into the ballroom and danced away till long after midnight. The orchestra was inspired and received many encores and marks of approval from the untiring waltzers. Prince Charles, Duke of Suder- mania, was present accompanied by several of the officers of the Swedish frigate Frega. He appeared thoroughly to enjoy himself and stayed untill the end of the evening, supping in the restaurant with Col. Watson and Mrs. Wynne ad Miss Child. He afterwards complimented Mr. Wild upon the success of the evening and spoke i high praise of the entertainment and all the arrangements.
Lady Rogers, very handsome in white with emerald velvet on her corsage, was chaperoning Miss Palmer, Lady Palmer bemg still in attendance on Sir Elwin, and very nice Miss Palmer looked in her simple white frock with touches of gold about it and a ceinture of the same tissue The Hon. Mrs. Lindley, whose visit here is n-.arly over, was wearing a trailing lace Empire dress with a wide sash of blue velvet among the laces of the corsage. Lady Lampson brought Miss Lampson, the latter in pale bine velvet, and Sir Augustus Hemming, who has spent several seasons now at the Hotel d'An- gleterre, was there with Miss Hemming, who never lacks partners.

The natinee given yesterday in aid of the Conservatoire of Music proved a most enjoyable entertainment. Though ostensibly for children, of whom there was a large number, all very cheery and hilarious, it was evidently appreciated no less by the many "grown-ops" who were present. The first item on the bill was Don Pasquale, of which the second act was given, and that right successfully. The old- fashioned but graceful music was well conduct- ed by Sig. G. Setti. Signa. Zeppilli made a charming Norina and sang her role easily and daintily. Sig. F. G. Gianoli was delightful as Don Pasquale. throwing himself energetically into his part and allowing no opportunity of evoking laughter to escape him. Sings. Polefci and BendiLelli, as the doctor Malatesta and Ernesto, respectively, looked and sang exceedingly well. The act was prettily staged and the "make-aps" deserve special notice.
The ballet, Pierrot Soldat, then followed and occasioned much merriment and enjoyment It was in fact most attractive, and the corps de ballet is to be congratulated on their performance Sig. Setti's dancing and pantomime were extremely amusing. Signa. Verzanti surpassed herself in her pas seuls, while Sigri. d'Ared, Pelotta, and d'Andrea all did most bravely. The ballet concluded with the over- popular cake-walk, in which Signa. Bruccbi's coon-steps were particularly taking ; and all exerted themselves with such effect that the audience would not be satisfied Until an encore was given.
The matinee was brought to a most successful conclusion by a lottery drawn by Sig. F. G. Gianoli, with'the assistance of several notable members of local society.
The decision of some of the medical gentlemen who initiate themselves as the Medical Council ot Alexandria to raise the medical practitioner's fee is unfair, illegal, and subject to grave criticism. My dissenting opinion from their decision is not restricted to myself, bat is entertained by many others in this City. When medicine is made is of merely as a commercial trade, the practice becomes contrary to the laws of legal medicine and medical etiquette, which every doctor most observe. It then degrades the medical man from his high moral and social position, to that of fortune-seeker or adventurer. Against this every medical man must be on the look out.
The idealism of medicine is humanitarianism and not commercialism. The prime duty of a medical man is the relief of human-pay- chophysiological suffering, and not the gain of wealth. If a man's object in medicine be riches, then let him about don his noble calling for something elsewhere, where his glutiny fur wealth would call the just condemnation of the public.
Raising these monetary barriers before the public and mass in general is sure to bring about a higher mortality, which is contrary to the laws of nature and man.
Why this medical decision if followed by the profession, would bring about a higher death rate, is because many would postpone consulting a physician until the crisis is past; and then the call is too late. Imagine the many who could not afford toe ill a doctor to see them or their young owing to the new regime, if thoroughly adhered to by the whole medical body of the City.
This might not apply to the few wealthy families, though they would grudge the fee required, especially if the list is a long roll of calls.
Happily the majority of the medical profession, as I was made to understand, do not accede to this decision, bat still cling to their previous humanit irian views.
As this decision would affect the public health if followed and might be taken as an example by other parts of the country, most likely the State will see to it, to check its contagion from spreading with malign effect.
A doctor is required by law to give a State examination before he is permitted to practise, as his scope of activity is the human physics ; this shows his responsibility to the State.
From an individual standpoint of view, every man is free to charge whatever he likes for his services, but when he assumes that phase he is no more a medical practitioner for the latter is directly or indirectly a public servant ; and a public servant more or less under the supervision and contract of the State.
Did the Government issue the decree of increased medical fees ? No; the Government spends thousands of pounds every year on public hygiene or sanitation through its energetic Sanitary Department; hence it will not tolerate that which will deteriorate the public health, that the State is striving so hard to improve. The honourable gentlemen who gave the decision initiate themselves as the "Medical Council of Alexandria." This would imply that they are governmental officials, for no other body or persons have the right to concern themselves responsibly with the public affairs of a city or place except the State. Any collective body assuming the name of a place indicates that it is a governmental branch. Is the above mentioned Council a Governmental body ? I doubt it.
The Medical Council of Alexandria consists of the Sanitary Inspector with his staff, and the Municipal Kism doctors. These, and these alone, are the ones responsible for the public medical affairs of the City. Did this honourable body decree this decision ? No; far from it, for such a decision cannot be issued by them but with the approval of Headquarters.
This decision cannot be enforced by practitioners, for it is h ped that the Government does not recognise it.
Every legally authorised doctor is by law obliged to see any person consulting him. If he is obliged to see any person consulting him and the Government does not recognise legally the fee decided upon, a patient consulting a practitioner need not acquiesce with the new regime.
The Cairo Press severely criticises the new tariff of the Order of Alexandria Doctors. The "Progres" remarks: —
En effet, catte decision n'est justifiable a aucun point de vue, sans compter qu'elle est contraire fc l'esprit hamanitaire qui doit animer lea homme8 de soienc% oar si le renchdrissement des vivres pfese sur la classe des mddeoins, il pfcae bien plus lourdsment sur la classe pauvre de la population.

The d:n which ushered in the New Year at Port Said must have been indeed startling to anyone unaccustomed to our custom on this occasion. To have the syrens, whistles, and bells of about a score of steamers and launches interming'ed with the firing of guns and the playing of two or three brass bands, is to have a pardemonium more suggestive of the end of the world than the dawn of another year.
Yesterday evening the Menageries S.S. Tonkin arrived and disembarked 41 Russian officers who had been prisoners in Japan. They are awaiting a ship to carry them to Russia. Yesterday morning the S.S. Vancouver, of the Dominion Line, chartered by the Japanese Government, arrived with 987 Japanese who were taken prisoners by the Russians, and are now being repatriated. Among the officers who embarked at Hamburg was Colonel Murshami, taken prisoner at Mokden. Many of the prisoners are just recovering from wounds, and are very delighted to return to Japan. The S.S. Camproman of the Dominion Line is expected shortly with another batch of Japanese, a thousand strong.

Football seems to have quite caught on in Port Said. Recently, there seems to have been a match almost every other day The team from H.M.S. Diana defeated the Port Said English team by two goats to one. This match was one of the fastest and best that have ever been played in the town. The naval team include! some first-class players and their combination is very good. Yesterday they played a draw against the Arab school. Although the sailors had the best of the play they were unable to break down the excellent defence of the Arab goal-keeper. They said afterwards that they had never seen a batter performance in goal, and certaiuly the Arab custodian saved the game. On the afternoon of New Year's Day the return match, Mr. Chessman's Eleven v. the Maltese, resulted in a win for the former by one goal to nil.

The election is marked with increasing rowdyism. Speaking at Manchester, Mr. Balfour was constantly interrupted and the police was summoned to eject the offenders. Scarce'y a Conservative meeting is free from disturbances, while women, apparently in pursuance of an organised movement, interrupt Liberal meetings, demanding female suffrage. The ' Standard'' cites an opinion of counse' that Lord Elgin has acted illegally in stopping the importation of Chinese labour, and that the Privy Council alone has this right The same journal understands that Mr. Haldane intends to re-establish the system of five years service with the colours and seven with the reserve. Speaking at Arbroath, Mr. Morley said, in answer to a question, that beyond doubt, civil power should he above the military in India. {Reuter,
The Unionist papers take great exception at the violence of Mr. John Burns' electoral address, denouncing the blunders, waste, and dishonesty of the late Government, "which," he said, "registered the decrees of sordid capitalists and irresponsible consuls. The public service most not be an easy retreat for gilt- edged incompetents." (Reuter)
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman said in the course of an electoral address, that by renouncing the unfortunate characteristics we had formerly detected in their foreign policy, the Unionists had made it possible for ns to pursue a substantial continuity of policy without departing from the friendly unprovocative methods of past Liberal Governments. It would be our duty to uphold economy, self-government, civil and religions liberty, and free trade, in order to repair, as far as possible, the mischief wrought in recent years, and to secure social and economic reforms. {Reuter}
Speaking at Leeds, Mr. Herbert Gladstore said that the immediate deportation of fifty thousand Chinese from the Transvaal would produce financial and industrial chaos.

This work of Professor Flinders Petrie is the completion of the History of
Egypt which he projected years ago. He has supplied the purely Egyptian
period, from the dawn before Mena down to the conquest by Alexander. Others
have written the three remaining volumes on Greek, Roman, and Saracen Egypt.
The learned reader is, therefore at last supplied with a trustworthy history
(up to date in 1905) of this wonderful country down to the Middle Ages; in
fact to the Turkish conquest in 1516. If the later volumes seek to add some
literary graces and not a few conjectures to the bare recital of the known
facts, such is not the stern and self-denying method of Prof. Petrie. He
tells us that the gathering and sifting of the materials has been his sole
object, 60 that he has supplied the diligence and the acuteness of the
discoverer and interpreter for some future literary man to whom history is a
branch of elequence. May he prove the Tillemont for another Gibbon! The
dynasties included in the pre°ent volume are those of whom we had long since
some information from Hebrew and from Greek sources. We turn, therefore,
naturally to see what light the author's intimate knowledge of Egyptian
texts has thrown upon these passages in history—the Exodus of Israel, the
reigns of Shishak and Necho, and the Persian domination. 'The corroboration
of the historian Herodotus or the Prophet Jeremiah from contemporary
documents is a matter of the highest interest, for it not merely confirms
the particular facts, but enhances the general credibility of our literary
sources. Regarding the Exodus Professor Petrie is not very helpful. He has
found texts which imply that in the very reign of the Exodus the Egyptians
were laying waste parts of Palestine, and the Children of Israel are even
mentioned as dwelling there. He does not solve the difficulty fir us, and
tells us that M. E. Naville's account of the wanderings in the Desert is
satisfactory, and has been generally accepted. But surely to those who have
not M. Naville's ,,Pithom" at hand he might have afforded a precis of the
argument. That Semitic tribes wee continually coming into Egypt, and were
encouraged to do so, though they often became troublesome, is a broad fact
in the history of the country. The very origin of its greatness arises,
according to Professor Stiendorff, from some such prehistoric invasion,
which is perpetuated in the proto- Semitic speech of the country. Whether
these prehistoric Semites came by way of Suez or by way of Aden teams to ns,
though not to Professor Steindorff, doubtful. Of course a large part of this
volume is devoted to the famous Ramses II., the Sesostris of Greek fable,
whose monuments are as numerous as his children, and this is no small
matter. We know from contemporary monuments of seventy-nine sons and
fiftynine daughters, which implies, allowing for infant mortality (says Mr.
Petrie), at least twice as many births [?]. But, apart from his reign of
over sixty years and his enormous family, Mr. Petrie reduces the great
events of his reign to the campaigns against the Kheta (Hittites), which we
-know, not only from the poetical panegyric of Pentaonr, bat from far more
trustworthy copies of treaties, and these show that the Kheta came of! after
all on pretty equal terms. This King was a great builder, and covered all
the laud from the Delta to Abou Simbel with huge figures and pompous
laudations of himself. But the style of the work is not refined, and the
mummy of the King, now to be seen at Cairo, is not impressive. He was
probably a little great roan—the Louis XIV. of Egypt. Professor Petrie makes
an interesting remark on the great temple of Karnak, built by 8eti I., a far
greater monarch, and Ramses, his son. He notes that the pillars supporting
the roof are too many and too bevvy, being made of soft sandstone, improper
for such work. Another very interesting epoch in this history is the
assumption of royal power by the Church, the priests of Amon at Thebes
ruling like popes in a regular dynasty, while the secular kings (at Tanis)
were but puppets under their control. And, as might be expected, during this
period the Church endowed herself so enormously that moat of the country
belonged to the temples as religions property, just as most of the good land
in Ireland once belonged to bishops and monasteries. It required a bold
military adventurer, probably hired not from Libya, but from 8osa, to break
down this ecclesiastical tyranny and make himself king—the well-known
Shishak of the Old Testament. For the priestly usurpation, as is always the
case with eclesiastics, wasastutely managed. "When the daughter of the King,
who wore the (-) and was heiress of the kingdom, was married to the High
Priest the priestly line became the rightful rulers. Not daring to take the
kingdom at once, they maintained the long series of the sons oi Ramses III.
in power, one after the other, while the real rule belonged to the priestly
family Thus, so far from the priests being usurpers, they were tolerating a
series of royal princes, while they were ready to step in as soon as the
sons of the dynastic founder had parsed away." All this presupposes that the
sovereign- • ty really descended in the female lice, which Mr. Petrie
strongly maintains. Amid the heartless records of pomp or of cruelly with
which the hieroglyphicsabound, itis a pleasantvarietytomeetthesteleof

Professor SteindorfFs interesting lectures are professedly popular in form, though also the outcome of great and special learning. It is easy to collect facts, and detail the of ceremonies of many religions, but to enter into their real spirit is to know national character to the very core, and it is more than doubtful that any such knowledge is now attainable. If, for example, devout Cathelics and Protestants seem often incapable of appreciating each other's standpoints, what shall we say when the problem is the understanding of a religion remote and obscure, purposely hedged about with complicated and unexplained ceremonies? Even the language is which these ceremonies are described, the prayers expressed, the mysteries not explained but suggested, is a language of which our knowledge is only external. Historical facts may now be dearly read in Lieroglyphics or hicratics, but who will venture to say that we know the flavour of the words, or the sentiments conveyed beyond the mere brutal translation? In spite of many able commentaries, tie Book of the Dead, in its many copies, is still devoid of any intelligible sense to the modern decipherer. We may tell the words, but who can tell the spirit behind the words? We may affirm at all events that the Greeks wholly failed to understand this strange creed, though they stood in some ways far nearer to it than we do. ProbablyProfessor Steindorff knows as much about the subject as any living man. But the result is thin, and, so to speak, external. What does it mean to us, that Amenophis IV. caused a great religious Bud social revolution by introducing the worship of the solar disc, instead of the ordinary worship of the Sun-God Ra. long popular in Egypt ? Quite possibly it was in its day as important as the " Filicque " in one Creed which once split asunder the theological world of Europe. But we can only see evidences of a bitter controversy about an idle distinction. Yet these things in themselves have a human interest. "Man shall not live by bread alone." Those who quarrel about metaphysical problems are far removed from the savage, who merely hunts and sleeps. Professor Steindorf's book is, moreover, well and pleasantly written, in such English that we hardly ever perceive a foreign flavour. Its account of the ceremonies and cult of the dead will give a new interest in Egypt even to the ordinary tourist who takes it with him and reads it by the way. As such, as well as for its real learning, we commend it to our readers. The Religion of Ancient Egyptians. By Professor Georg Steindorff. G.P. Putnam's Sons.
"An Ancient Egyptian" writes In your leading article of the 2nd inst. yon gave an interesting account of some new electric signal* in Cairo, and incidentally you link the name of the great Mohamed Aly with the introduction of electric lighting in Egypt. I quite agree with your statement that Egypt has been well to the fore in the adaptation of electricity, still, as a matter of fact, the first attempt at electric lighting made in this country was in 1874, but it was only on a very small scale. It was done for Ismail Pasha by an electrician still living in Alexandria. The dynamo was not yet invented, or at least, was not in practical use, and the light was produced by batteries made in Cairo, with the aid of a large number of such earthenware vessels as could be obtained but which were neither intended nor well sailed for the purpose. The great Mohamed Aly was, unfortunately, buried in 1848 and although he was in his time the shining light, of Egypt, it was not, as yon say, electrically. The first time a dynamo was worked in this country was in 1880. In was need experimentally for some time in Alexandria, and afterwards, during the events of 1882, when among other uses it served to fight the headquarters of H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught at the Mail on Zizinia, Ramleh; it was afterwards used in Cairo, and I saw a part of it only yesterday. Public electric lighting was only commenced in Paris in 1882 or 1883 and in Berlin in 1884 ; it bas now become a bcon, which is nowhere appreciated more than in hot countries like Egypt, especially by the e who still have a lively recollection of head-aches canted by the heat of gas end tie smell of petroleum. I should have felt it necessary to apologise for correcting your statement, did I not know how desirous you are to be accurately informed.
To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette Sir,—We are assured that Egypt is one of the most prosperous and richest countries of modern times, but unfortunately the Egyptian does not share this prosperity with his country, and his social and moral positions are sorely wanting. It cannot be denied that he is moving in the right direction, though in exceptionally slow steps. The Anglo-Egyptian Government who leads us and guides us contributes in many ways to this slow advance, but unfortunately it retards it in others. ' First let ns take the unceasing irrigation works which are making Egypt a worldly paradise. Roughly speaking, our only industry is agriculture and the fellah is getting richer every day, although be is almost the same man socially and morally as he was thirty years ago. The result is that wealth comes rather a disadvantage to him and in most cases he, in his ignorance, abases it with the unavoidable and pitiable results of national demoralization. The bottom of this trouble lies in the fact that the lands of Egypt are getting far more attention than the dwellers upon them. To give less to the former and more to the latter is the only remedy. May we not hope that those who have the reins of the country in their hands will not forget that "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone." Having dealt with the unreadiness of the fellah for his increasing wealth, we come to the unjustifiable and harmful Capitulations. I shall not attempt to add my feeble voice to what has been said and written by able men about the harm they do, but shall content myself by saying that they contribute in a great measure to the demoralization of the people. Thirdly comes the continuous and cheap bestowal of grade3 and 'titles" on all classes of society. I cannot do better here than to repeat what was written in Lord Cromer's Report of last year under the heading of "Crime." He says: —''The bestowal of grades and decorations causes a very large amount of jealousy in the country districts, and is, I believe, the indirect motive of a good deal of crime." To put this bestowal on sound basis as that of England, the moral and social position of the Egyptians will benefit greatly. Fourthly comes the unfair treatment of the Copts in nearly all the services under the Egyptian Government. I feel very sorry to have to deal with this delicate subject, bat I cannot help touching upon it as I know from personal experience, as a pure Egyptian, that such treatment is demoralizing the country! The Copts, who are the descendants of the ancient Egyptians of the Pharaohs, are on intimate terms with their Moslem neighbours and therefore it is not desirable to deny the former so many Government posts which are solely in the hands of the latter, on the ground that the Copts are Christians and members of one of the most ancient churches. Mach less desirable it is to refuse to give them appointments at all, as some Anglo- Egyptian officials do. Think of it The purest Egyptian is actually refused a post in Egypt. Why is it that in Upper Egypt, where the majority of the educated classes and wealthy land owners are Copts, we do not find one Coptic moudir or sub-moudir, or mamonr or bashmihandis, or even a school headmaster ? Why is it that the Government school which has 70 % Coptic scholars works on Sundays, and daily instructions are given in the Koran and the Principles of Islam ? Why is it that the Commandant of the Police Government school refuses to admit Coptic Cadets saying that he is ordered by his superiors not to "defile" his school by the admittance of such creatures? Why is it that when a well cultured Egyptian applies for a post, the Anglo Egyptian official enquires firstly whether the candidate is a Copt or a Moslem? Why is it that the Khedivial decree, which gives the right of promoting a bashkatib to the post of Wakeel or a Moudir, remains a dead letter? Why is it that in the first half of the nineteenth century we find scores of Copts filling leading Government positions and now we find only one or two? I could go on asking questions of this nature for hours, but what is the answer ? For clearly they most all have one answer and we natives only guess at it, as there is not one Egyptian who knows for certainty what it all means. Last, but not least, comes the shameless position which the Egyptian woman holds. Probably this fact retards the advance of the moral and social position of the Egyptian more than any other. So long as this is the case with Moslem countries, so long will they take back seats among the countries of the whole world. The remedy lies in the removal of the unwarrantable suppression of the Copts and in giving perpetual impulse to female education.—Believe me, Yours faithfully,
A Native of Upper Egypt.

and Alexandria where values of building sites are higher; the former being a capital like Cairo, the latter a commercial seaport like Alexandria. In Athens last October several sites with new houses in course of construction were pointed out to me and the prices paid for the same stated. My informant, an Englishman holding a position of trust, was well acquainted with the subject, having himself recently purchased a site and built a house thereon. The sites in question were situated in the most fashion, able residential quarter but fully 15 minutes drive from the central business part of the town. Prices ranged from 150 to 175 drachmas per sq. pic (exchange 29 drachmas per pound sterling.)Two pics equal within a small fraction one sq metre, consequently the price of building sites in the fashionable residential quarter of Athens is from £10 to £12 per sq. metre. In Cairo the moat expensive residential quarter is that of Kasr-el-Dubarah, where, in spite of what the Financial Adviser calls inflated value?, fine houses with gardens can still be bought at a price equal to about £8 per sq. metre of area covered, with the buildings thrown in for nothing. At Smyrna building sites in the suburbs away from sea frontage and at least 2 000 metres distant from the commercial centre of the town sell at from one to one and a half pound sterling per pic, whereas at Alexandria, where land is also measured by the pic, there are many thousands of square pics of land for sale at the present moment within 1,500 metres of the Mohamed Ali-square which can be bought at one pound and under the square pic. Yet rents in Alexandria and Cairo are more than doable what they are in Athens or Smyrna, and the importance of the towns, judging by population, size, volume of commerce, and general wealth and prosperity, can in no way be compared. If "Fair Play" acts op to his "nom de plume" he should take some trouble to verify my statements, and having done so he should give the public the result of his enquiries. Thanking "Anglo-Egyptian" for his abbreviation of the somewhat combersome name I adopted in my first letter, I beg to subscribe myself,—Yours faithfally,
Amirer Cairo, 6th Janaary. Sir,—I have pleasure in complying with the request of "Fair Play" and mention Athens and Smyrna as towns of less importance than Cairo

NOTES ET CRITIQUES Caire, 6 janvier. Les cours de Londres nous arrivent encore invariés sur le Cot solidé anglais, qui se maintient à 89 1/2. L'Unifiée égyptienne marque 3/8 de hausse. La National Bank est renseignée en nouvelle hanse de 1/4 de livre à 26. La Daira et l'AgriCole restent stationnaires à leurs cours précedents, 17 5/8 et 9 5/8, ce qui est, sans conteste, au indice de fermeté. La Delta Light a gagné 1/8 à 12. A Paris, l'action Crédit Foncier a clôsuré en reprise de 4 francs à 807. La Banque d'Athènes s'est soutenue à 134. Ici, le marché des valeurs a été ce matin relativement assez ferme, Liais moins animé qae les jours précédents. La National Bank s'est maintenue à son cours d'hier, 25 7/8. L'Agricole, plus soutenue, a ouvert à 9 1/2 pour clôturer à 9 9/16 acheteurs. Le Crédit Foncier, très mouvementé, a gagné 6 francs à 8u5. La Banque d'Athènes est revenue à 132. La Banque d'Abyssinie a fléchi à 6 15/16 vendeurs. Le Comptoir Financier s'est inscrit à 4 7/16. L'Immobilière est offerte à 360. La part de Fondateur Laud Allotment revient à. 100 ; la Delta Light à 11 13/16 ; les Ciments d'Egypte à 73, et la dividende à 17. Dans le groupe des Hôtels, les Nungovich sont négligés à 11 13/16 ; les Baehler ouvrent en bonne tendance a 3 3/4 pour clôturer à 3 13/16. Les autres valeurs hôtelières conservent leurs prix précédents. Rien de très particulier à signaler sur les petites valeurs. , On parle de la prochaine distribution d'un dividende de 10 % sur l'action \ Investment (Abdy). La satisfaction que cette nouvelle danserait à première vue aux actionnaires sera néanmoins considérablement mitigés par le fait que ce 10 % ne s'applique en réalité qu'au capital versé. C'est donc, poar l'action complètement libérée, du 2 et 1/2 poar cent Toutefois, pour être impartial, U faut noter que ce dividende est distribué pour l'exercice terminé U 31 décembre écouté, c'est-a-dire pour nue période de neuf mois seulement. On s'attendait, tout de même, à mieux. La Société de la Brasserie des Pyramides est eu train d'établir son bilan poor l'exercice 1905, Ou s'attendrait à la distribution d'an dividende de 4 %. Hier, après midi, a en lita 'au Caire l'assemblée générale extraordinaire de l'Auglo-American Nile Steamers and Hotels Company. Le projet de fusion avec la Hamburg Amerika Lime eu ce qui concerne les services de navigation sur le Nu a é.é définitivement adopté.

La spéculation semble attendre le rapport des "Ginners" (qui sera publié après demain; pour se mettre suit a la hausse, soit a la baisse. Ici, ce matin, le Mars a ouvert à 16 19/32 pour clôturer à 15 9/16.

"The Egyptian Gazette" Series is the most artistic collection to be found in Egypt.
The Egyptian Gazette has much pleasure in presenting to its subscribers the accompanying description of some of the many interesting routes by which they may travel homewards. Great care has been taken to arrange them as accurately and concisely as possible, and it will be found that none of them are fraught with difficulty. In choosing the route home there are several things to be considered. To begin with there is the difference in climate between Egypt and the various points at which you may arrive in Europe.
This depends partly upon the month in which you leave Egypt, for Cairo in January may be a little warmer than the Riviera, and possibly not so warm as Sicily, but in March it will be warmer than Rome, and more uniformly warm than many other places in Europe. Many people leave Egypt far too early in the year, for as a rule the weather in April and May is perfect. The warmest place to go to on leaving Egypt is Sicily.
Some will want to take into consideration the number of days to be spent at sea, and we therefore subjoin a list showing the time occupied on each of the various routes between Egypt and the Continent of Europe.
They are as follows:-
The long sea routes—from Port Said or Alexandria to Plymouth, Southhampton, London or Liverpool—occupy about 4 days. The short ones are as follows:—
The steamers, of the P.&O. North German Lloyd, Orient and Messageriea Maritimes are the largest. The Anchor, British India, and Bibby Lines are also excellent, and their steamers are largely patronised by travellers to Egypt.
As regards the train journeys from Cairo, the shortest is that to Alexandria, without change (3 hours). That to Port Said, can now be made without change in 4 1/2 hours.
The least expensive way to England is by the Moss, Papayanni, Prince, and Westcott lines of steamers from Alexandria to Liverpool. The German Levant line has also good steamers from Alexandria to Hamburg.
The most expensive but quickest through Continental routes are by P.&O. Brindisi express from Port Said, and the Austrian Lloyd Trieste Vienna express from Alexandria.
As regards heavy luggage, it must be borne in mind that very little luggage is allowed free on the railways of Europe, but there are several good and responsible forwarding agents in Egypt who undertake at a fixed charge to deliver packages to any address in Europe.
The quickest manner of getting to Europe from Port Said is undoubtedly by the
fast Mail Steamers "Osiris" and "Isis” to Brindisi. One of these leaves port
Said every week, as soon as possible after receiving the Indian
These small but comfortable ships have enormously powerful engines, and attain a very high rate of speed. They are called the "Ferry Boats" having been specially built to carry the British mail from Port Said to Brindisi. If you are going straight through to England you will find the train waiting at Brindisi which will take you to Calais without changing. It has complete arrangements for sleeping and eating on board, and you should arrive in London on the fifth day from leaving Port Said.

Mr. Alfred Hug, Proprietor and Manager
The direct route to Sicily is by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers which leave Alexandria weekly for MESSINA, where one takes train to TAORMENA, one of the most charming and popular places on the island. Giardini is the station at which to alight, and the drive up to Taormina is most delightful, occupying about one hour. In and around the town is much to interest the visitor. The theatre is of Greek origin, but restored under the Romans. CATANIA is the starting place for the ascent of Etna and here also is a fine Cathedral. The Greek, Roman, and Saracenic remains that are found all over the island, are an endless sources of pleasure. SYRACUSE has an interesting history, having been a Greek city, which was designed by Demosthenes in B.C. 413, and taken by the Romans in B.C. 212, when Archimedes was slain—his tomb is to be seen. The cathedral was once an ancient pagan temple. PALERMO, with about 300,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Island, and enjoys a delightful climate. Much of interest is to be found in this fine city. The Palazzo Reale is of Saracenic origin and close to it the church of S. Giovannia degli Eremiti with its picturesque cloisters. The Cathedral, Museum, Botanic Gardens, Villa Giulia and Royal Park are also worth a visit.
The fine steamers of the North German Lloyd leave Alexandria every Wednesday during the season for Naples, the voyage being only 3 days.
NAPLES is also reached in 10 hours from Palermo by the Florio-Rubattino Co.'s steamers, which leave daily. One cannot approach Naples or leave it without wishing to explore some of its islands, besides the lovely places on its bay—Castellamare and Sorrento. The small steamer that takes you to Sorrento [you can drive too] will take you on to Capri.
From Naples to ROME is a train journey of but five hours. All who can will devote at least one week to visiting the many historical and interesting portions of the Eternal City, whose charms and beauties are too well-known to need comment here.
Leaving the Eternal City with much regret, a railway journey of five hours brings you to FLORENCE, where another week can well be spent admiring the City of Flowers and its surrounding country. In Florence itself the churches and galleries are of absorbing interest, whilst the local promenades and excursions should not be omitted. The Cascine is the most attractive and fashionable promenade in Florence, whilst the Viale dei Colli, one of the finest walks in Europe, opened 35 years ago, goes winding up through the hills a distance of four miles. The most delightful excursion outside Florence is that to Vallombrosa, with its Monastery 3,300 feet above the sea level. This is made first by ordinary train from Florence to St. Ellero, thence by cog-wheel railway to Saltino. The ascent through groves of oaks takes an hour, and most striking panoramas are unfolded to view.
PISA is easily reached from Florence in about 2 hours ; hero there is a fine Cathedral and the Leaning Tower. A stay of at least one night should if possible be made in order to enjoy the view from the Campanile at sunset.
VIAREGGIO. One of the most delightful places on the Italian Riviera near Pisa and on the main line from Rome to Genoa. It is a very convenient half-way house between Egypt and England, and where living is reasonable and the air and surroundings exceptionally good.
GENOA (La Superba).—The most picturesque and interesting city in Italy, with the record of having one of the lowest death averages of European cities and a phenomenally equable temperature—warm in winter and deliciously cool breezes from the surrounding mountains and the Mediterranean in summer.
The patriarchal home of Italy's most ancient nobility, whose palaces, gardens, and famous collections of statuary, frescoes, and paintings, are a constant delight to thousands of travellers who annually sojourn in Genoa. Then there are the superbly decorated medieval churches containing exquisite marble columns and historical paintings, and the incomparable Campo Santo filled with its wonderful tombs.
From Genoa to Milan is a matter of only three hours by rail.
MILAN is a good centre for Northern Italy before making the tour of the Lakes. The Cathedral is the principal attraction, with its beautiful windows illustrating the History of the Bible. The public gardens and the monumental cemetery are also worth a visit.
Between Bologna and Milan and only an hour and a half from Milan is SALSOMAGGIORE, a renowned health resort on account of its thermal springs, change trains at Borgo San Donino and in half-an-hour you are at Salsomaggiore.

Level Wooded Walks.
VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the most delightful places imaginable to pass a quiet stay. The total absence of vehicular traffic strikes one as very strange ; no horse, cart, carriage or bicycle is to be seen, and yet there is the sound of life at every turn. The approach to Venice from the Adriatic is unlike that of any other sea port. The town seems to be gradually, like Aphrodite, born of the sea, no hills behind, no stretches of rock, but first the tops of Campaniles appear above the horizon, then slowly the whole glittering town rises like a fairy mirage out of the calm lagoon.
Going northwards from Milan you make the tour of the beautiful Italian lakes.
COMO, the birthplace of the younger Pliny, is reached in one-and-a-quarter hours by train by way of Monza :
Boats leave Como frequently for the other towns on the lake, which is very beautiful, and the scenery on either side going up the lake is most enchanting. CERNOBBIO is a charming spot; then come Tremezzo, Cadenabbia, and Menaggio with the prettily-situated town of Bellaggio opposite. The walk from Tremezzo along the shore of the lake to Menaggio is most enjoyable. A steam tram runs from Menaggio to Porlezza on Lake Lugano in three-quarters of an hour, then steamer to Lugano in two-and-three-quarter hours.
Switzerland, the heart of Europe, has been described as "A cluster of delights and grandeurs."
LUGANO is some 20 miles from Como and reached by train in one-and-a-half hours. It has a population of 10,000 people and is charmingly situated on the Lake of Lugano, amidst lovely Italian scenery. Around it rise M. San Salvatore, M. de Caprino.and M. Generoso.
LOCARNO, may be reached by rail from Bellinzona in forty minutes. This pretty town, situated at the top of lake Maggiore has a mild climate and is an excellent winter resort. The church Madonna del Sasso, situated above the town, is worth a visit, as it contains interesting paintings, "Entombment," by Ciseri, and 'Tho Flight into Egypt,” by Bramantion.
LUCERNE—A striking picture on the Lake of Lucerne facing the Rigi and Pilatus and the snow-clad Alps.
In and around the town the walks are charming, and the excursions to be made from Lucerne by boat, rail, etc., are very numerous.
The Lake of Lucerne abounds in delightful excursions, those to the Rigi, Pilatus, Burgenstock and Sonnenberg needing a special visit each. Other excursions on the lake can be made by steamer, and the ever-changing scenery on the trip from Lucerne, to Fluelen is a source of delight to the lover of nature.
BRUNNEN, charmingly situated on the most beautiful part of the Lake of Lucerne, commands magnificent views of lake and mountain scenery. Along the Lake of Uri from Brunnen to Fluelen runs the famous Axentrasse
A delightful exeption from Lucerne is that to ENGELBERG. Take boat to Stansstad and from Stansstad it is about 1 hour and 40 min. by Electric Railway, with delightful scenery en route. The ascent of Titlis, is made from here, and the panoramic view of the Alps is grand; extending from Monte Rosa to the Black Forest, and from the Santis to the Matterhorn.
THE BERNESE OBERHAND.-INTERLAKEN a favourite summer resort and the best centre for making excursions in the Oberland, abounding in fine walks and views. There is a magnificent view of the Jungfrau from the Hoheweg, a fine avenue of walnut trees the chief resort of visitors. Interlaken is also not far from the famous waterfalls, Giessbach, Trummelbath and Staubbach. Then also the glaciers of Grindelwald and view from Murren and the Schynige Platte are sights not to be missed.
CHATEAU D'OEX. 3,500 ft above the sea on the new Electric Railway between Montreux and Interlaken, surrounded by magnificent scenery, with pure dry air. Much frequented by English people in Summer and Winter.
Many people visit Greece after wintering in Egypt, as it is so easily reached from Alexandria ; the climate in April is charming. The best steamers are those of the Khedivial Mail Co. and the Russian Steam Navigation Co.
If possible tourists should arrange to be in Athens for the Orthodox Easter in order to witness the Good Friday and Easter Eve ceremonies, and to be present at the dancing on the Easter Tuesday festival held at Megara for which a special train is run from Athens.
It is worth while to spend a few days in CORFU on account of the beauty of the scenery. There is also good snipe and quail shooting to be had.
Best Spring resort. 2,200 ft. above the sea. Every comfort.
The leading Hotel for English and American families. Trains every fifteen minutes by Electric Railway from Brunnen to Axen-Fels. The Park having a frontage of nearly a mile on the lake, is one of the prettiest in Switzerland.
