THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15., 1906. MOROCCO CONFERENCE. It is almost a traiem to say that the solemn conolavə which is being held at Algeciras involves interests far wider than those of a semi-barbarian people in the north west corner of Africa. Roughly speaking, the Conference will decide whether the nations of Europe are determined to live in peace with out another or whether they are still a lot of squabbling children, ready to take offence at the first word spoken in a moment of anger. The responsible men of the countries most interested have openly declared that they wait nothing so much as peace. Bat the crucial question is now being discussed by the delegates, and by their fraita we shall know tham. Germany has deliberately thrust the policing question into the forefront of the controversy.. It she had contouted herself with her woonomio / claims her positioa would have been onassail able. By the Madrid Treaty of 1880 she is entitled to equal commercial treatment and the open door. Rugland, for bør own purpo:es, limited her demands for equal treatment to a period of thirty years. But she could not, of course, bind Germany by any private arrangement made' between herselt. and France ; therefore Germany was perfeotly justified in taking steps to make it known that there was to be no limitation of time as far as she was concerned ; she stood abaqlately by the Mad. 'rid Treaty, and claimed her tall rights. The point was perhaps an insignificant one, not worth all the fass that has been made about it, since France always declared her intention of preserving the open door, and there woald have been ample time for Germany to ory oat when she was actually chreatened. Still she had a right to make her voice heard at any time if she'thought her interests were in any danger; and no one would object to her endeavour to make her own position quite clear. | Unfortunately, she- dragged politios into what was really an economio question. She . believed, or professed to believe, that the Rronoh were aiming at a sort of protectorate over Morocco, "and that, while nominally adhering to the prinsiple of the open door at the porta, they would opposo German enterprise in each matters as financial and railway exploitation. Booba polioy would, she contended, be contrary to the spirit of the Madrid Treaty. In order to prevent the realisation of such a protectorato Germany is det soined that the seounty of life and property in Morocco must be guaranteed by some sort of interna cional control, and not by Pradoe alone. l'he proposal she is believed to have in view is one which will hand over the policing of Morocco to some disinterested Power who will be the mandatory of all the civilised nations, She will leave to France the task of polioing tbo Algerian frontier – that was conoeded from the first in the negotiations which led to the acceptance of the Conference ; and Spain will be allowed a similar privilege in the parts of Morocco adjoining her territory ; but the rest of the country must be placed either ander an international commission, or else | under the control of one neatral and disin terested Power. And it is understood that Germany would prefer the latter alternative. | There are several objections to the German soheme. First of all it would be difficolt to Johoose the nentral Power. Even if a nation like Denmark or Switzerland were willing to andertake the task, the necessary anthority: would be lacking. On the -other hand, if Italy or Austria were soggusted, France would certainly feel affronted, Italy is a Mediterranean Power like Franoe. Why should sbe be asked. to step into Morocco and perform a task whicb, it is alleged, cannot be undertaken by France withont injary to the interests of Earope! . Indeed, it is diffioult to see how any Power, bowever disinterested in theory, can besked to dearp the position which France had mark | d out for herself. To accept such a mandato would be to ooort the enmity of the French p:ople, and that in itself would surely debar Italy from stepping into the broach. The ides of an international commission is rstbor less open to objeotion, but the experienco. of interTuational commisione in hardly encouraging

M. Schweitzer gave us of his best at the Savoy Hotel, Cairo, on Monday, and we should have enjoyed the concert even more had not the Tzigane orchestra, which played near the doors of the concert ball, been painfully andible. Whoever was responsible for this was guilty unintentionally, let us hope-of considerable discourtesy to M. Sobwoltzer and his audience. The programme was good and capitally tendered. The Moonlight Sonata and the Lirzt piece delighted all: the writer, if anything, preferred the Schumann selections. M. Schweitzer was at his best in them his technique as admirable as in all his renderings his power of expressing the lyrical emotionalism of the composer at its highest.
This morning, the appeal of Mr. Luigi Stagni against the decision given in regard to the Custom House Porters Benevolent society came before the Mixed Appeal Court. Mr. Stagni had made a contract with the Society whereby at should undertake the "factage" of his wood stores. But the work did not give satisfaction and some correspondence ensued. The matter came before a judge in chambers, who ordered an expert to give his opinion. M. Mazou was selected. The appeal was against the nomination of this expert on the ground that he was only a nautical expert. Mr. Stagvi demanded that a specially qualified man should be chosen, or if M. Muzou remained he should be assisted in bis investigations by two other qualified men.

Yesterday afternoon the cabmen of Alexandria agreed to resume work and later on the streets began to resume their normal appear. anco There will be a meeting at the Munici-| be pality this afternoon to iscuss the new tariff. P. Accorrespondent writes :- In the opinion of go the public of - Alexandria, the Municipality is pim srily responsible for the cab) strike owing to the unjastifiable increase in the lui tax on 'dnnumbered carriages, which, as of your readers are aware, has been raised from P.T. 50 to P.T. 150 per annum. It is abgnrd to consider that this tax will only apply to the 177 birds carriages. It will equally apply to over 1,000 private carriages. Is it to be expected that the owners of these carriages are more likely to remain quiet under this imposi tion than are the owners of the semi-public conveyancer ? The Manicipality may find that adthongh the poor cabdrivers have been obliged to give in for fear of starvas etion, the difficulty will not be in any way shelvad, for it then may be takea pp by a much more ipfigential class of people, who | will be better able to enforce their wishes in .. regard to the present system of taxation.

Congo Post on the Nile
Amicable Solution Possible
The following anthorised statement in regard to the presence of a Belgian post on the Upper Nile has been issued :-It is an ondoghted fact that Congolese native soldiers anpeared at Inyolo in 1904, and that a "mirsion" of some kind, ostensibly & scientific one, has been in oooupation of the post ever since. The Egyptian Government did not welcome this prolonged stay, especially as the mission and the patives failed to agree. As a pacifio mode of app sing pressure upon the visitors to "move on," it was decided some three months ago to stóp the Belgian transport and post servizos on the Nile, bat, up to the present, the Congolese mission has apparently been able to get sufficient supplies from its Congo base to withstand the inconvenience thug involved. The British and Egyptian Governments are on good terms with the Belgian Government, and there seems to be every hope that the mission will shortly be withdrawn from territory within the sphere of British and Egyptian jarisdiction without the recessity arising for resort to stronger measures than those already in operation.

Menzaleh Canal Service
Development of Canal Traffic
We understand the Menzaleh. Capal and Navigation Co. intend commencing a servic9 € between Matari-h and Port-Ssid (Karponty) in 8 a few days. The service most at first be more or less experimental until the "raises" get accostomed to the bindling of the steamers e onder somewhat new nditions, and antil it be ascertained hy experjance what time will be occupied by the journey between the two towns. The difficulty at present appears to be for the steamers to attain the estimated speed in! | shallow water. This, however, in no way affects the ultimate succers of the service, for the actual cost of dredging is comparatively small, and it would well repay the company to deepen the canal, if by doing so it were found that b the speed of the steamers could be increased t to that estimated. It is expeoted that very shortly a regular time-table will ba published, a and quick trains between Matsrieh" and i Vansourah will run in connection with the company's service across the lake. The 'a steamers will probably leave Port-Said duily at 1 8 a.m. and it is hoped that passengers will catch the 11.30 train from Matarieh to Man. sonrah.. The disadvantage of Karpoaty as a point of departure will soon be done away with, for within three month, the company experts to I have completed the canal ap to Raqwa, where f a large qnay is now poder construction. When this work is finished the passenger steamers will leave for Matarieh from Raswa. We understand the company is negotiating with the Government for acting as salesmen for the fish basiness on the lake, with a view to protecting the interests of the fishermen, who are now completely in the bands of groups of local sheikhs. Parchases of building sites at Matarieh have also been made recently which should yield a good profit. The opening of the Ananieh Canal for navi. gation, insaring a free waterway from PortSaid to Mangourah and even Cairo, is now it ander study. Ao ording to the company's concession, this I portion of the work must be commenced before January 1, 1907, and finished by Jaquary, 1909. Wêre it not for the failare of a well-known Bglish firm to deliver & second dredger on the lake in March, 1905, the canal between Matarieh and Damietta would have now beea completed.
Sequel to Alexandria Marriage
Mr. Edward Richard Mays, late of the 1. Royal Engineers, and now employed by the E.yptian State Railways, sought a divorce in London last week, alleging that his wife Mar. Tgaret had been guilty of misconduct with a man unknown. The wife, in reply, alleged connivance and oraelty. | The petitioner, who appeared refore the late Lord St. Helier in 1904, said that he married the respondent at, he British Conga. late in Alexandria in 1899. They lived in Cairo till August, 1903, and then went to ] Eogland, as he hoped to induce her to be more economical when free from the society whe mixtd with in Egypt. He returned to Euýpt in the following Ootober, bat in consequence of a letter received from his father in September he went back to England to institrte divorce proceedings. Threo woeks after he had landed his wife gave birth to a child. Mr. H. Murphy : Have you ever atrack your wife 1-Once. Uoder what circumstances ? - I made a cabinet for a map, and later asked him for payment. He said he had already paid, and showed me a receipt in my wite's hand-writing. On toxing her wth it, she denied her writing, and in a temper I struck her. That was the only time. Cro-s-examined by Mr. Drake, the witne=8 said he first met bis wife in Cairo when be w48 19. He denied that be brought her to Bogland w th the object of getting rid of her. The bills du, to bis wite's extravagance "came in like clouds," and when he got back to Cairo be wrote "in a passion" that her "last card was played," and that he would never let her join him again. In reply she wrote : "My dear, dear husband, - I thought my poor heart was being torn ont. Do not judge me too harshly, Ted, as I have been good to you and the little On88, only the accursed management of money was my only fault, as you know yourself. Try your best, darling, and forgive me with a good | heart, as I have turned over a new leaf already, and am a far different girl than what you left bebind in this miserable place." The petitioner said he would have taken bis | wife back if his parents had informed him that | she bad improved. The respondent, in her evidence, said that until she came to England they got on "pretty reasonable." ( ca ber husband kioked ber, and said that if he had a revolver he would have shot her.

Its Genesis
Interesting Picture Exhibition
Some fifteen years ago Mesars. Th. Ralli and P. Philippoteaux conosived the idea of starting a small Art Bxbibition in Cairo ; to day the Exposition Internationale des Beans Arts has become one of the features of the BOASon, and numbers among ita patrons ench world-famed artists 24 Messrs. L. Bondat, F. Cormon, L. Herpignes, Carolus Daran, L Lhermitte, B. Dameron, E.Detaille. G. Ferrier, C. Cottet, Dagnon-Bonveret, F. Flameng, H. Gervex, and Waltner. . 1 There are many important canvagas in the present exhibition-notably ONA very larga one (No. 243) Le Bain dos Nymphes, hy Alfred Planzean, which was in the Salon last year. The composition and coloaring of this vy of bathing nymphs startled at the appearance of the satyr, are admirable, the cool atratch of water and the green forn-oled banke making & delightfal scheme of colour. In close prox. I. imity is the life-like portrait of Mme G., by Victor Grétin, a beautifal piece of work repre.. senting the lady in black dress and hat and light overcoat standing in front of a doll gold ourtain. Lovers of London atmosphere will experience & certain amount of heimweh on finding at the end of the large room a painting of the La Tamise (No 17) below London Bridge with the dome of St. Paul's looming through the mist, and the foreground filled with the berges and usual river boats. The artist, A. Barbier, has caught the atmosphere and mystery in whioh our river loves to enfold itself, and one can almost fael the drear gloom of the day as one looks apon its misty half shades. Arthomics (No. 18), hy | Alexis Axilete, is a happy inspiration, The young buntress aglow in the early morning sonlight, and with the young pale moʻn abnye bør bead, is poised with bow ontstretobed, the honnds beld in leash behind her. Mlle. Lonise Abbema is represented by a delightfal bead of a fair young girl in vignette surrounded by branches of wi-teris and a big sheaf of pennies: a delicate piece of work, and very much more to be desired than some of the other soulless studies of feminine baanties. There is not mnoh depth of feeling in Dimanche (No. 5) by Mlle George Achille-Poold thongh the young couple appear to be enjoying themselves, and the details and portraits have been worked up to a wonderfal degree of finish. For mastery of composition, drawing, and minnte detail one must visit Didte complote (No. 67). by Francesco Branery, whose canvas will bear the most minute inspection and which is admirable in every respect. His Tóte de femmo (No. 68). in pastel, ig also charmingly rendered. Un cas Embarassant (No. 124), by Mlles Cecile and Mario Deslions, attracts many admirers. It represents a faithfal but perplexer waiting maid disolosing the tattered condition of his garments to the equally perplexed caré, and the f4088 and treatment of both figates are most happily rendered. Soleil d'Au. tomne (No.6), by L. B. Adan, with ite! resting figare gazing from its corner, framed: | by bright green ivy on to the leaflegg woods beyond, is an excellent piene of work; Veillo Ravandeuse (No. 9). by Sem Angerville, is a deli htful study of an old dame smiling over ber work before her cottage window. Albert Guillaume has three canvase* (Non. 145 147). Two of these, Ferveur and Gestation, are bis gorious wierd grote quer, Esthetismo haa not mnoh interest. Au Large (No. 256), by Lonis Ridel, b-8 made & name but does not appeal to the ordinary eye. The two frail ladies, oled in diaphanong decolleté gowns and bats, stretched apon the deck of a boat amid heaving waves, is in no way convincing, though may be its treatment is high above the average. Espagnolo (No. 180), by Mme Julette Dubufe Webrie, is fine in colouring with its copper coloured draperies against the gold background, bat the features are not distinotly Spanish in type and are faulty in modelling. Miss Elizabeth Noorse has some delightful studies, of child life in Les Enfants de Penmarch and Fráre ot Sæur Bigoudins (Nos. 233 and 234); Un Champ do Bataille (No. 194). by Timotéon Lobrichon, will doubtless appeal to the domesticated mother and lover of children. Napoleon on board the Bellerophen in Plymooth Sound, is the gobject of Jales Girardet's cativas No. 140 m.; it PORFASAGs fome merit though it is sadly over-weighted by the crowd of figares around the battleship. \ Parther mention of the other exhibits will be made at a later date..

Reports of a very satisfactory character as to the progress that is being made in the establishment of a cotton-growing industry in the territory of the Mozambiqne Company have been received from the Governor. The industry is still in its youth, and experiments are being made, both by the local administration and by private growers, to determine what are the most suitable kinds of cotton to grow commercially. At the Government experimental gardens at Chimoio satisfactory results have been obtained from various Ezyptian varieties, and this year several American varieties, including Georgia, Sea Island, and Louisiana, are being planted for experimental purposes. Bat already experiments have been made on & commercial scale, with the result that last year some 59 tons of cotton were prodace 1, | about 18 tons - by the Mozambique Company and the balance on various private plantations. This year & very much larger area has been cleared and planted with both American and Egyptian varieties, and it is estimated that, on a very conservative computation, the crop for the year should be not much short of 300 tong. Several of the consignments which have reached Liverpool have been reported on favourably, and have bronght good prices. Both as regards climate and soil, the Mozambique Company's territory is exceptionally well adapted for cotton cultivation. It is stated that there are, close to the cast, and consequently with cheap sea transport, many handreds of equare miles of cotton land, while, it is said; it has also been proved that along the line of the Beira Railway there are large areas where the yield of cotton per acre is very greatly in excess of the average yield in the Southern States of America.

Some months ago 1 picked ap at one of the the booksbops & emall book entitled "The Songs of an Egyptian Peasant." The 'photo Sat graph of the picturesqne and venerable ghaffir of the Antiquities' Department on the cover first attracted my attention, but for private reasons I was not able to read the book Sar until quite lately, when I spent many a pleasant hour enjoying it. Other books have appeared on the songs of the Egyptians, such As Bonriant's "Chansons Arabes Popnlaires," | Mo bat Profesor Scha-ffer's book desls, not with 'Sat the songs of Cairo bat with those of the peasants of Upper Egypt, living so far from the metropolis. Uolike Monsieur Boariant's book, where the songs are entirely in Arabic, with not. a word in French to say what they mean, the author gives the songs in Latin characters and the translation line by line, Fel in some places word for word. There is no doubt that these songs are really song by the natives in that part of the country ; | they are, therefore, genuino Bong8 as any Egyptian who hails from the Said will at Once find out and will probably remember many of them. Like all songs in colloquial Arabic, they are not set to metre, as Arabic poetry must of neceşsity be, but they have their melodies to Egyptian ears, and I may venture Fri to say they are not diapleasing to Earopean ears when properly read. Not koowing German, I could only judge the book in its English garb, and having carefally compared the original Arabio of many of the songs with their English translation, I have no hesitation in saying that Mrs. Breasted 'has done her work in a very creditable manner and is therefore to be congratulated on its succes. It is most difficult to make a literal comprehensible translation from one language to another, especially poetry or songs, as all who have tried it have found ont, 18 and I am sure few of Mrs. Broasted's English readers will find it difficult to anderstand her renderings, aspecially with the head and foot potes necessary to perf sc'ly compre- M hend not the meaning of the words themselves ibat the idea they are mgant to convey. I only wish Mrs Breasted bas improved more on the German edition by giving the Arabic text in its own characters so that the book would have formed an incomparable collection of exercises, containing sentences and expressions of the purely fellaheen language not to be met with elsewhere.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE. Dear Sir,- In your number of December 15th, 1905, you published an article on "England and Germany," wherein you said that the responsibility for British distrust against Germany rested in a very large degree upon the shoulders of Prince von Bülow, for, "if a collection of his official speeches were made, it would be impossible to extract from them a single passage which was friendly or sympathetic to England." Allow me to say that this statement is not exact, as I could quote you many passages from the chancellor's speeches wherein he expresses himsef in the most friendly manner on Great Britain. But there is also a quite recent proof of Prince Bülow's friendly dispositions towards your country, for the "Times" of the 27th January contains the following letter directed by the Chancellor of the German Empire to Mr. Fox, one of the honorary secretaries of the Anglo German Friendship Committee:
Dear Mr. Fox,
Berlin, January 17.
I regret sincerely that my health has not permitted me to see you and personally to confer with you about the work of the Anglo- German Friendship Committee.
That the object of this association has my all sympathy you are already aware, and I e with pleasure use of the opportunity afforded by your kind visit to Berlin to repeat that the German Government: welcomes with heartiest satisfaction, and will help forward all efforts tending to promote better feelings between our countries.
In doing this it only confirms the conviction which I have already stated on several occasions, and that not only recently, I may remind you of my speech at the Reichstag, December 5, 1904, which I then stated was the line of the Imperial policy.
I said in that speech: I hope the destinies of the two countries will always be decided by the cool heads who know that Germany and England, not only in the immediate present, but for all future time, as far as human eyes. can see, will be best served by maintaining the present peaceful relations.
Since then my conviction has not changed, and the formation of your association has tended to confirm it.
Hoping that the Anglo-German Friendship Committee will continue to prosper. - I am, yours very truly,
(Signed) "BULO
I shall be glad of you will publish this in your paper, as I think it will only do good, if not only unfriendly voices are heard, but if also facts are brought to light which tend to maintain and improve the good relations be- tween our countries-I am, etc.,
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE Sir,-To the columns of the "Egyptian Gazette," the Oriental organf free-thought and the medium where y modern civilisation is circulated, I submit an article on Young Turkey whose fundamental aims and principles. are misunderstood. I will not enter deeply into the subject, but will merely give an outline sketch, and make known the underlying principles of this body to the world at large, and the Ottomans in particular.
The liberal movement which today is per sonated by Young Turkey, commenced some fifty years ago, when the Old Tark's pinacle of might was being undermined to such an extent that it was likely to fall.
The liberal movement to, modernise the Empire before its dismemberment set in and ita integrity became attacked by the Occident, was made manifest by his late Majesty of sacred memory, Sultan Abdul-Medje Khan II., father to His Most Sacred Majesty, the Kaliph Sultan Abdul-Hamid Khan II.
As an outcome of his political trend in recognition of the laws of necessity, he had his dearly beloved son, the late Sultan Marad V., who he thought, would one day sit on the throne of his forefathers, to ba girded with the sword of Othman the Great, and to bear the raiment of the holy Prophet, and educated most liberally in the greatest capitals of Europe. His infantile days were carefully primed by the Orient of days gone by, to imbibe the fraits of modern civilieation so that he might remodel the Empire when once on the throne
of Othman.
The seed that germinated to bud some fifty years ago, is ramifying its dendrite benes h the fertile soil to bort forth one day with the stored up energy it absorbed through its ramification of dendrons. This liberal, modernising spirit, which is the vital core of Young Turkey, continued to multiply its adherents, until it became prominent under the leadership of the famous Grand Viziers Ali and Fuad Pacha, who supported it with unprece lented might and
energy.
In the same epoch, but after the death of Ali and Foad Pachas, this reforming liberal spirit was embodied in the famons, patriot martyr, the Grand Vizier Midhat Pacha, who Bacrificed all in order to develop it.
He, with his associates, Mahemmet Ru-hid Pacha, Hussein Aveni Pacha,
Ahme? Kafterli Pachi and Shik-el-I-lam Hassein Ka'arallah, formed the
famous group of Islamic reformers who dero ed Sultan Abd l-Azz to
enthrone Mahemmet Murad Effendi. When the latter proved scrupulous
regarding tho dethronement of his uncle, Sultan Abdul-Aziz the Islamic
Triumvirate dethroned bim and placed Abdul- Hamid Effendi on the throne
of Othman. Midhat Pacha, at the Hamidian dawn, was
This Assembly was suspended in 1877, during the war with Montenegro, that finally led to the Russo-Turkish conflict, when Edhem" Pacha besought His Majesty to prorogue the Assembly that harassed him becure it irqnired into his doings. To this day the Representative Assembly is prorogued. Thus the Old Turk regained his supremacy and forced the Young Turk into the background. The above is a short description of the Young Turkey movement. The aims of Young Turkey are the institution of a National Representative Assembly and a responsible Cabinet or Government. Were these prerogatives attained, re forms would be institated to suit the needs of the nation as a whole, and the particular requirements of each individual people or community, regardless of creed or denomination. The motto of the society is the consolidation of the Empire, and not its disintegration; its object is the union of the whole into an entity, and not the fanatical, sectarian, and racial isolation which rends the heart of the Empire to weaken it and make it the prey and spoil of those who would never have attained to their present position had anion, and not discord, predominated. Its fundamental principle is to do away with these barriers, which have reduced the state to a worse condition than feudal Europe of five centuries ago, and to fraternise the whole.
The foregoing is but a laconic depiction of the fundamental principles of Young Turkey, which ought to be well studied and known by every true Ottoman.
The members of the society are the enlightened and élite of the Empire; they are the educated and true lovera of their country, who through their liberal views have been exiled; many being forced to impose self-exile on themselves. An illustration of this is the noble and famous chief of the party, his Imperial Highness Prince Sabbah ud-Dein, the grandson of Sultan Abdal-Medje and the nephew of his present Majesty. He and his father and brother imposed self-exile on themselves, and their property was cofi cated. This was the equence of their liberal and reforming views. Had not, these liberal views and love of country weighed most with them, they would have ba ked beneath the Imperial smile. to reap the fruits thereof, as they belong to the Imperial family. Yours very truly,

The Money Market.
The monetary position has engaged much attention in the City during the past week, and the outlook still remains very obscure. The present abnormal state of the market is due to the scarcity of loanable funds, and the action of the Bank in squeezing the market, although perhaps a little too sudden, is now fally justified. The political uncertainty attending the outcome of the Morocco Conference, and Russia looming-as a prospective borrower, should alone have convinced even the most captions critics of the Bank that some suchaction was necessary. The som borrowed by the Bank is repayable on the 21st inst., by which time the revenue collections will be in fullswing, so that very little relief can be looked for in the near future, and loans now command 4% for the night, for a week, and even for a month.
On the other hand, to those who are looking forward to easier conditions, some consolation is found in the state of the foreign exchanges; with Paris cheque at 25.16, gold withdrawals to that centre need hardly be feared. In fact, French funds are being employed in this market, and with the Berlin rate at 20.51 we are within measurable distance of receiving gold from that quarter. The American exchange also stands greatly in our favour.
The low rate at which the Treasury bills were allotted on Weduesday, practically 21%, gives no indication as to the condition of the discount market, having been taken on foreign Government account-probably Japanese-but bill brokers are still bidding 31 for forward delivery (say 10 days hence), although the spot rate is 3 to 4%. The Continent is still buying bills in this market, which probably accounts for the easier forward views.
Yesterday's Bank return discloses & slightly stronger position. An influx of bullion is shown on balances; the proportion of reserve is higher at 46.1, and although the other deposits show a slight decline, they still stand at the respectable figure of nearly 42 millions. The Stock Markets,
The feature of the week in stocks and shares has been the fine returns made by the leading railways, with considerable increases in dividends, which have caused great buoyancy in this market, and a general firmness in all first-class securities, caused no doubt chiefly by the stringency of rates, and the conservative policy adopted generally, which has had the effect of weeding out the weak speculators. It would look as it both classes of securities are well worth buying, as in view of the mag nificent trade returns for January, which we print below, the prospects for the railways daring the coming year are exceptionally bright; and the price at which second class securities have arrived would seem to make them a safe investment, particular'y the best South African mining shares. It is understood that these shares are being accumulated by the big houses, who have been purchasing very large lines, and who wili, no donht when it suits them, bring abont a solid rise. It would not be so difficult to do this new. with the intrinsic value of the shares above the market.
Consols..
The market for gilt-edged stocks has exhibited a very firm tone since our last and the price of Consols has advanced to 90. Advances are also recorded in the other first-class securities.
Foreign Bonds,
There has been some recovery of chrfidence in this market, and both Russiang and Japanese have been dealt in at higher prices. Russian bonds close to night at 83 and Japnee Sixes
at 103.
Home Rallways.
The tone of depression which prevailed in the home railway market last week has now given way to one of confidence. No doubt this has to a great extent been due to the excellent dividend reports of the London and North Western and the Farness Railways, and the highly satisfactory, traffic receipts for the past week. The North Western dividend is announced at the rate of 7% per annum, compared with 6% and in addition to paying the extra they carry forward £93,000. as against £84.500. The Furness report is also very pleas. ant reading, the Ordinary dividend for the past half year being fixed at 3 per cent, as compared with 1 per cent. This is due to the increased prosperity of the iron trade, an increase which is likely to be continued.
The Great Western dividend at the rate of 7%. which is the same as a year ago, is not quite so satisfactory, the Stock Exhange having looked for an increase of %; and the shares of the company eased off somewhat on the Announcement. The stocks of the other companies are very firm.
Amerloans.
The American railway market has been quiet throughout the week and there are no features
to report.
Egyptians. The Egyptian market has been exceedingly good during the week, and a fair business has been done at advancing prices. National Bank of Egypt have steadily advanced to 28, and the
last issue to 27. the former being two points bigher than they were a fortnight ago. The rise in these shares is due to a well-grounded rumour that the dividend is short'y to be declared at 9% instead of 7%. In addition to this the prospects in the Sudan are con sidered good, and considerable developments are expected in that direction. This should
also favourably affect Agricultural Banks, which, after being quiet, have been taken in hand,

Weakness prevails in the mining section and prices continue to drop. For the time being speculators appear to be leaving this market severely alone.
Egyptian mining securities are practically unchanged, although there have been considerable fluctuations in the Valleys during the week on the issue of the re-construction scheme. These are quoted to-night 5/6. The report from the Sadan mines would appear to be very satisfactory, but the shares are selling as low 88 14/-..
We would point out that the re-organisation of the Nile, Valley Company has nothing to do with Nile Valley Block "E".

LES PROCHAINES ELECTIONS LES TAXES ·
A megnre que sea recettes augmentent, notre municipalité majore les taxes existantes et eu orée dè nouvelles. Tout loi est prétexte à innovation dans ce sens. Il y a quelques années i seulement ces recettes ne dépassaient guère d cent milla livres, aujourd'hui elles atteignent i deux cent cinquante mille livres ; et au lieu de se contenter de la progression produite par l'ac.. croissement de la ville, pos édiles ne pensent qa'à décoa yrir de nouvelles sources de revenus et à groesir celles qui existent déjà. C'est aingia que l'augmentation récente de la taxe de 50 - 150 piastres sur les voitures a déterminé la grève des cochers. Si l'argent ainsi porça devait servir à l'entretien et à l'assainissement de la ville, pange encore, maie tout est englonti 'par de vastes! projets, qui sont grandioses sans doute, mais dont la nécessité est loin d'être aussi pressante que la canalisation des roes et le drainage des quartiers. Le balayage et l'arrosage sont, en outre, de plas en plus négligés. A part la roe Rosette, la rae Chérif et le Boulevard de Ramleh, il n'y a de propres que les rues bagtes balayées par le vent et nettoyées de temps à autre par les pluies. Cependant, la taxe da 2 % qui est si onés rense et qui ne frappe en définitive que les locataires a été créée expressément pour pro céder à l'a-sainissement de la ville. Poisque ti rien n'est encore fait et que cette taxa est d d'ailleurs dovenae ipotile, pairqu'elle a permis 8 de prendre sur la mer des terrains qui soffisent lp amplement au but proposé, M. Zouro conseille de la supprimer ou da moins d'en exonérer les fa locataires pauvres. C'est une idée qu'il a coustamment soutenue et qu'il soutiendra encore devant la Commission.
TRIBUNAL CIVIL MIXWE DU CAIRE
ACCIDENT AU CANAL DE SUEZ
Une intéressante affaire d'accident a été plaidée mardi devant la 2me Chambre civile da Tribunal mixte da Caire présidée par M. Herzbroch. Il s'agit d'une action on dommages-inté rêts intentée par le Dr Vleten au gouvernement égyptien. Le Dr. Vleten, qui était représenté l'audience par Mtre Carton de Wiart, réclame).. une forte indempité pour être tombé à la mer, da quai de Suez, par suite da manque d'éclai rage et da manque de balustrade.ll ent dans la chate la jambe brisée et d'assez graves contosions. Mtre Vermond, au nom de la Compagwe du Canal de Suez, a demandé la mise hors de cause de cette Compagoie qui n'est pas chargé : de l'éclairage da quai. Détail intéressant: des débats il ressort de qu'après l'accident, ane lampe et ane balustrade ont été placées au quai de Saez. Le jagement sera renda à huitaine.
(Anjourd'hui a midi et dombo) Le marché des valeurs a été ce matin ferme et animé, particolièrement en Banque d'Athè. nes, Delta Land, Estates et Salt and Soda.

NOTES ET CRITIQUES
Caire, 14 février.
Les nouvelles tendancieuses propagées sur la Conférence d'Algésiras ne paraissent pas avoir impressionné sérieusement les marobé d'Oecident. En réalité, on s'est beaucoup plus effrayé lici qu'en Europe. A Londres, le Consolidé anglais est resté, hier encore, invarié à 90 5/8. L'Unifiée & hausgé de 1/4 à 105 1/4. La Daïra Sanieh est demeurée inchargée à 18. Ls National Bank & bien reperda une 1/2 livre à 27 3/8 et l'Agricole 1/8 à 10 1/8; mais cette réaction pent être attribuée à la hausse précipités réalisée récemment 'par des valeurs plutôt qu'aux informations d'ordre politique. - A Paris, l'action Crédit Foncier Egyptien a réagi de 1 franc seulement à 805. Par contre, la Banqne d'Athènes a encore gagné 3 francs & 143. Notre marché des valeurs a été, ce matin, a88e2-animé et plus forme qu'bier. La National Bank & avancé & 27 9/16 l'ac. tion ancienne et 26 5/8 la nouvelle. L'Agricole s'est inscrite en clôture à 10 1/8 l'action ancienne et 9 11/16 la nouvelle émiesion. La Banqne d'Abyssinie a gagné 1/16 & 6 7/8. Le monvement de hau889 quo nous pressentions hier sur la Banque d'Athènes s'est dessiné dès ce matin. De 137, l'action a monté à 143, gagnant 6 francs en und néance. Il y a liea de prévoir des cours plus élevés. | La Cassa di Sconto est revenue de 198 & 190 francs l'action ancienne et de 193 & 185 la nonvelle émission. L'action crédit Foncier a progressé à 809. Los parts de joniggance Etux du Caire ont rattrapé à 265 la perte qu'elles avaient faite hier. L'Immobilière & avancé à 363 et l'Agricole da Nil à 254. L'Union Foncière a été ramenée à 6 7/16 ot! les Ciments à 81. | Le groupe des Hotels & montré moins de farmeté: les Nangovich ont rétrogradé à 13 9/16 et les Upper Egypt a'5 1/2 Les Baebler se sont maintennes entre 4 11/16 at 4 3/4. | Parmi les porites valeurs, 188 Dalta Lind de sont inscrits en clôture å 2 1/3 et les Glymono | oulo : 1 11/33. Les Cotton Mills sont revenus à 6 h. 9 et les Markets å 24 sh. 9 Rien de particulier à signaler sur les autres titres. La souscription aux 10,000 actions, offertes au public, de la Société d'Entreprises Immobilières et de Travaux s'est ouverte anjourd'hui aux guichets de l'Anglo-Egyptian Bank -au Caire et à Alexandrie. Elle sera close demain & 5 heures de l'après-midi. Nous restons à l'entière disposition de ceux de nos clients qui voudraient souscrire par notre entremise. L'exploitation da New Khedivial Hotel d'A. xandrih, sppartenant à la Société des Splendid. Hotels of Egypt, continue à donner les résultats les plus promettante. D'après le dernier état comparatif, les recettes pour la première décade du mois de février courant se sont élevéas à environ L.E. 1,300 contre 710 ponr la période correspondante de l'année passée, c'est-à-dire avec le surplus hau. tement appréciable de L.E. 600. Cet accroissement, déja, ni marquant, des revenus est appelé à prendre des proportions beancoup plus considérables dès que les travaux l'agrandissement de l'hôtel auront été completement terminés dans le courant da mois prochain. Aussi bieh il y a lieu d'attirer l'attention sur le bas coats du titre, qui est à environ an qnart de livre seulement au-dessus da prix l'émission. Un mouvement de hatago ne saurait tarder à se produire, et tout semble indiquer qu'il sera aussi ra pide qu'important.

"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.

HOTEL VICTORIA-Hug.
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.

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.
