There can be no doubt that, calm as outward appearances are at Algeciras, a critical stage has be n reached in the negotiations. The minor points are now settled, and the absurd Moorish proposals thrust on one side : But the tw chief questions are those remaining for discussion—the control of the police and the foundation of a State Bank. As regards the former, the compromise recently suggested by France has been rejected by Germany, and as to the latter, we learn to-day that Germany has submitted to the Conference a scheme, wholly ignoring France's preferential position.. Havas telegram states that the "Temps" learns from Berlin that the majority of the public believe in the possibility of an agreement at the Conference, and even hope that it will be arrived at by Germany's granting a few concessions, Very careful handling will be necessary, if an equitable arrangement is to be made: bat, at the same time, Germany can hardly give way completely; without admitting that her whole interference in Morocco was unjustifiable from the general point of view, and unsuccessful from the strictly national standpoint There is a good deal of feeling within the Empire itself that the Kaiser's excursion last April has been of small real benefit, and if Germany retreats on all points, this will become a strong weapon against the Government. German trade in Morocco, though still insignificant in comparison to that of France or England, is yet advancing more rapidly than either, as the latest returns show. It is for this reason, if for no other, that Germany wishes to have some share in the police control, since, if France were supreme, Morocco would possibly, even against the wish of the Republic, become as French as Tunis: and German trade would then stand an exceedingly poor chance. As regards the State Bank, however, even greater caution will have to be exercised. If the police cannot be exclusively French, and obviously not German, it must also be impossible for the man behind the Bank to be German, as capital would give a greeter power than anything else. The French attitude has been so moderate throughout that any reasonable proposals will be listened to: bat even if the Conference is abortive, the position, though serious, will certainly not mean way.
The story in the "Daily Mail" that it is intended to reduce the Mediterranean Fleet to four battleships may be "very like a whale." But there is no reason to disregard it altogether as absurd. Ships are, after all, mobile, and their distribution may be varied from week to week as the international situation changes. We are at present on excellent terms with France and—as always—with Italy. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is a quantity negligible. It is, of course, essential to guard our communications with this country and the East from all chance of surprise, and to maintain the strategic chain which connects as with our allies in the China seas. But there are many considerations, administrative and others, which could be advanced in favour of a new disposition. The ad- vantage of having as many ships as possible in home ports is not to be denied. The ships are kept in better condition, and it is more economical Furthermore, though the invaliding returns from the Mediterranean this year show an improvement, Malta fever has been rife as ever.
It is a very serious question whether it is justifiable to use Malta as the headquarters of a great fleet, in view of its general unhealthiness. When one bears that officers playing football or hockey are accustomed to armm selves with Condy's Said or other antiseptic a prophylactic against tetanus should they suffer any abrasion of the skin by contact with the ground, it leads to the conclusion that the soil of Malta is too befouled by consent over- population to make it a safe or desirable place. The effluvium of Valetta Harbour is, of course, a byword. On the core of health alone, there- fore, if the report that the Admiralty intend to withdraw a portion of the Fleet should prove true, there will be no very great regret. But Malta and the Mediterranean are so involved in the tradition of the Navy that it is not easy, it present, to put much reliance on the report.

"I A great event took place at Luxor to-day. Amidst gay decorations, the flags of all the nations,and the tourist steamers and dababiehs with their colours flying,the laying of the corner stone of the new Luxor Winter Palace Hotel by Madame Pagnon took place in the presence of a vast gathering of distinguished guests and tourists from all the hotels, including a party from the Rameses the Great. The box which was placed in the crypt of the stone contained a copy of the Egyptian Gazette" and an Egyptian scroll with the signatures of the architect and bailders of the hotel. Mdme and Mr. Pagnon and a host of ladies and gentlemen who were present signed the document, which was subsequently sealed in the box and placed int the stone. The ceremony was concluded when. Madime Pagnon, with a silver trowel and a si vermalet, placed cement n the four corner and tapped four times on the stone as it settle! into its final resting-place.

The Egypt Exploration Fund are sending round a special circular asking for supplementary donations" to complete the important work of excavation and restoration at Deir el Bahari, and in the hope that the funds will be forthcoming have rent Mr. H., R. Hall up the Nile to help Professor Naville there. The Fond at Deir el Bahari undertook a task which has proved of such magnitude it really should have been carried out by, or subsidised by, the Government, but having proceeded so far it is mach to be hoped that private individuals interested in Egypt will subscribe sufficient for the Fond to crown their work here by enabling Prof. Naville to finish all the explorations and leave the site as much as possible in the state in which it was under the Pharaohs.

Since the opening of the Port Sudan line, trains to and from Khartoom have been continually full of passengers both ways. Daring the Konrban-Beyram holidays everybody took, advantage of the railway facilities offered to go to Khartoum and spend their holidays there. The express trains from Halfa were also crowded with tourist en route to Khartoum.
The Abou Hame -Kreima line has been opened to traffic since the 7th inst., and the Summit E-koweit line is now under construction and will be completed in about two month' time. Brkoweit is the summer residence of the Suakin Mondirish and is very famous for its cool breezes during the summer months. It possesses some very fine fruit gardens.
The line to Kssala is once more being surveyed and will be started in a few months time.
E Kaimakam Ibrahim Bey Sirri, commanding 6th Battal on E. A., with his headquarters staff, and remaining half battalion, arrived by yesterday's express train from Khartoum after a two days' journey. This shows to what great use the ailway can be pat for the quick despatch of troops from the Red Sea to any station up the Nile as far as Khartoum.
By the express train which arr ved here from Khartoum on the 8th inst. came the Rav. Paxton, Church of Egland Chaplain, Sudan Mission,. and Mr. W. H. Bailey, Inspector of Bridges, Saakiu-Atbara line. The latter has been at Khartoum spending the Beyram holidays there.
The annual sports will take place at Suakin to morrow. The fact shows that 8u kon has still some life left in spite of Port udan, which has taken most of the people away from here.
A staff of engineers and workmen have left Darlington for Khartoum, where, before the Nile rises in July, preliminary work is to be undertaken by the Cleveland Bridge and Enginearing Company, of Darlnigton, to asoartain by borings the nature of the strata and the practicability of constracting bridges across the Blue and White Niles, in connexion with the Berber and Port Sudan Railway.

The sale of the railway has now been definitely completed and the property has passed out of the hands of its former owners.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE EGYPTIAN GAZETTE, Dear Sir, I have just read in your issue of the 24th February an article, entitled "Dahan Property Sold" in which it is stated that Mr. Ang. van Millingen, proprietor of the Windsor Hotel. has purchased the Dahin building in R m'eh bulevard and farther that it is Mr. Millingen's intention. to transfer his hotel there,
Being the proprietor by conjoint possession of a quarter of this building, I beg you to deny the accuracy of this statement, the origin. f which I ignore, in so far as my rights are concerned. Thanking you beforehand.-I am etc., B. D. DAHAN. Alexandria, 22nd February.
Mr. Aug. van Millingen was himself our authority for the paragraph, the accuracy of which Mr. B. D. Dahan denies. We have seen Mr. Millingen this morning and h informs us that he has purchased the property from Mr. George Daban and Mr. Leon Dahan, owners of three-quarters of the estate. The question of Mr. B. Dahan's claims will, he asserts, be decided ultimately.
Who the Baker Pachs referred to in our telegrams to-day as being dead is we cannot discover. Col. Valentine Baker, better known as Baker Pacha, died shortly before the collapse of the negotiations for the conclusion of the Anglo Tarkish convention. He was then head of the police, and his death is referred to in all the contemporary works on Ezypt. Lord Milner announces that "after General Baker's death the Gendarmerie was again abolished," while Mr. Dicey in "The Story of the Khediviate" records his death and declares that after that event Nubar proposed that the head of the police should be a native. There is no Baker Pacha alluded to in the latest "Who's Who." The only other Baker, who was prominently connected with Egypt, was Sir Samuel Baker, who died in 1893.
The Ellerman 8.S. Fabian arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday morning.. The Bilerman S.S. Bosnian railed from Liver pool last Saturday for Gibraltar, Malta and Alexandria,

"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.

GRAND HOTEL DE PARIS
VENICE is a 5 hours journey by rail from Milan, and one of the mostdelightful 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.
