Germany ought by rights to be a great bulwark of peace. The Constitution with which she was left in 1815 was not a good one, for it left her divided up into so many principalities and powers that no one now except a few professors of history can remember their names. Bat after an abortive revolution and three wars Germany obtained her unity, and stretches now from the Alps to the North Sea and tbr Baltic, from the Moselle to the Memel. The German Empire has a larger population than any European State except Russia. The people have for thirty-five years been constantly increasing in prosperity. They have plenty of good schools and universities. They are not so completely absorbed in industrialism and urban life as to be without great stretches of country each as might be envied them by smaller States suffering from too much rush to the towns. German trade spreads all over the earth. Her shipping is prosperous beyond the wildest dreams of the fathers of the present generation of Germans. Such a people in such conditions might be expected to be happy and contented. Yet, says a writer in the "Morning Post," if those persons whose business it is to observe and report on what German public men and German writers for the Pres are thinking and saying are to be trusted the inference must be drawn that the Germans are neither happy nor contented, but are living in a state of terrible uneasiness. Bismarck, who used to be their spokesman, once said in their name: "We Germans fear nothing but God." Some more recent utterances almost suggest that to make the saying true today the word nothing would have to be changed to everything. Bismarck's last great achievement in the lifetime of the Emperor William I. was to secure the passing of a Bill for rearranging the periods of liability to military service by which the strength of the Army for a war was increased by three-quarters of a million men. He explained that the idea was to be able to fight at the same time on the eastern and the western Frontier, to put down a million men on each of these fronts, and have a third million in reserve. With such forces Germany might be easy. Since the last war in Manchuria the risk, it it ever existed, of a war on two fronts cannot be said to exist. The German Army is enongh to form a sure defense against any attack that can reasonably be anticipated, and it is as certain as anything in this world can be that no Power contemplates an attack on Germany. Yet in these conditions, which might seem to approximate to those of the millennium, the Germans seem to have become nervous.
It is, for example, reported from Berlin that Prince Bulow recently gave a confidential lecture to leading members of the Reichstag to explain to them why a Bill should be passed making provisional tariff arrangements with the United States. He and his hearers were believers in retaliation. They would like to have raised their duties against American imports. This, Prince Bulow explained, would be their best economic policy and would be morally sound. But Germany wanted American support, or at least her benevolent neutrality in the "world-theatre." The banking of the United States would be needed by Germany whenever England and France made a joint assault on her. It was to get President Roosevelt and America on his side in the game he was playing in tha "world-theatre" that the Emperor sent Prince Henry to the United States, that he sent friendly messages to the President, and that he arranged for an exchange of professors between German and American Universities. Germany was expecting a time when she would want help to attack the British Empire at its periphery. Then it would be useful to have ten thousand German troops in German South-West Africa to march on Capetown, while the American Army could invade Canada. So far Prince Bulow's confidential speech, an interesting speech, a speech which very likely the Imperial Chancellor will say has not been accurately reported. Someone has let the cat out of the bag, which was indiscreet no doubt; but, then, the German people must be kept in touch with the thoughts of the statesmen who control their destinies. Prince Bulow is evidently thinking the same thoughts as Dr. Otto Stern and Seestern and Major von Bruchhausen and the rest of the panic mongers and war promoters. It will, perhaps, be declared to be a calumny, this unauthorised report. If it is an invention it is, at any rate, a German invention. Its object is not peace and goodwill, but to spread the hatred of England, which Prince Bulow has done so much to foster. The frame of mind which keeps thinking of armies and navies and wars appears to pervadeall Germany from the cottage to the throne. The Emperor himself on Sunday, receiving a congratulatory address on his silver wedding, said: "My first and last thought is for my fighting forces by land and sea," and added: "May God grant that war may not come. Should it come, however, I am firmly convinced that the army will acquit itself as it did thirty-five years ago." War cannot come to Germany unless Germany and the Emperor want it, for no foreign Power has the slightest idea or intention of attacking Germany.
Side by side with these echoes in high places of the talk of possible wars that floods the German Press at present come some interesting comments from Vienna. The "Neue Freis Presse," receiving its inspiration from Berlin, talks of an improvement in Anglo-German relations and a change in the character of English policy. This is the attempt to carry out through the medium of Vienna Major von Bruchhausen's suggestion that England must be lulled to sleep, and friendship professed towards her until the German Fleet is ready to cover a landing in England. But even this limited kindness as accompanied with its dose of spiteful poison. The highest circles in England, says the same article, have the intention of driving France into a war against Germany, and the inspired writer goes on to say that if there is a war it will be of England's making. For whose consumption is this rubbish circulated? Not for that of the French ; they know better. Hardly for that of the Hungarians. Perhaps it is for the benefit of the German-speaking Austrians and for reproduction in the newspapers of Germany. It seems absurd to suppose that any educated German believes the fables that are connected for him abont England. But though it ought to be absurd the fact is that many of them do believe a great many stories about our country which have no foundation in fact. It is a pity, but what are Englishmen to do? There is nothing to be done except not to follow the German example and not to believe stories about Germany except upon German evidence. The facts about Germany are those that we have recited at the beginning of this article, and that her people until the end of the last century were friendly and amiable so that it was a pleasure for Englishmen to travel among them. But since then they have for the most part come to believe about England all sorts of things which no Englishman can with equanimity hear them say, and they are quite sure that they are better informed than the Englishman about his own country, its feelings, its policy, and the intentions of its Government. Meantime, the war-fever in high places in Germany is not without its dangers, and to add a few millions to the British Navy Estimates would have been a wise measure of precaution.

The Press is eulogistic of Mr. Haldane's speech on the Army Estimates. Mr. Haldane admits that the Army was never so efficient in every respect as it is today, and acknowledges that the late Government created a remarkable improvement in a short space of time since the Boer war.
It is stated that Mr. Joseph Choate, the eminent lawyer, has accepted a retaining fee as counsel for the committee of investigation appointed to look into the affairs ot the Mutual Life Company.
Market conditions seem to be much improved, and the outlook is promising.
An exciting scene was witnessed in the London Stock Exchange's Miscellaneous Mining Market last Thursday afternoon, when 200 North Egyptian Land shares were bought in. The Official Broker commenced by bidding 1 1/4 for the shares but gradually increased his bid to 4 5/16, when at this price the shares were at last supplied. The incident will serve as a useful reminder of the danger of being caught short of shares in a market which is more or less nominal. Some said that the business rather reminded them of the Anglo-Dutch affair, which has not yet been forgotten.
The Corporation has within the last few days come into possession of further documents containing a full description of the route to be followed to the Wadi Maluk.
In addition, an agreement has been come to with parties who know the spot indicated in the documents and who are prepared to guide an expedition to it.
It will be remembered that the Wadi Maluk is included in the original concessions granted to the Corporation ; it is confidently expected that the results of the expedition, which it is proposed to dispatch very shortly to explore the Wadi, will be of interest not only from an archaeological point of view but also to the mining world.
A party in charge of a competent prospector will start within the next ten days.
The "Globe" of Thursday last in its City article remarks : The ten per cent, dividend declared by the Egyptian Investment and Agency Company (Limited) is a hopeful sign. This concern appears to have embarked on a prosperous career, and those who prefer for the purposes of speculative investment a share which is not entirely dependent upon the fortunes of mining might do worse than give Egyptian Investments and New Egyptians attention. The New Egyptian is a company doing serious work under a very sound international control. Fresh reconstruction proposals have been formulated in the case of the Nile Valley Company. These provide that dissentient shareholders will have the right to be paid off as a valuation. The reconstruction scheme we have already recommended as desirable, and the inclusion of this provision makes it more satisfactory than ever. We may state on official authority that the rumour as to a pending reconstruction in the case of "Mummies" (Egyptian Mines Exploration Company) is entirely without foundation. Some of the smaller shares, such as Fatira and Eridia, are being picked up by those who can afford to wait, against an anticipated improvement in Egyptians generally.

The inauguration of the Abou Hamed-Koreima Railway took place yesterday at Koreima. The Sirdar presided over the inanguration and formally declared the line open in the name of H.M. King Edward VII. and of H.H. the Khedive.
Speeches were made by the Sirdar, Midwinter Bey, and the Governor of Dongola Province.
After the conclusion of the ceremony, the Sirdar, who was accompanied by Bernard Bey and Slatin Pacha, returned to Abou Hamed and left today for the north. He is expected to arrive at Cairo on the 12th inst.
The purchase of the controlling interest in the above railway company by an Anglo-Belgian group, to whom allusion hss already been trade in our columns, is now a fait accompli. The deal was effected last week through Messrs. Lambert & Ralli. Wa have reason to believe that a strong board of directors will be elected which will include highly technical members.
The Fayoum Light Railway Company, which was constituted by Khedivial Decree in 1897 under native management, has hitherto had a most chequered career, but with the infusion of new blood and capable administrative and executive work it is a foregone conclusion that this company will enter on an era of prosperity which it was utopian to expect under previous conditions.
The capital will probably be considerably increased with a view to extending the line, providing new rolling stock, and effecting remunerative improvements.
It is a matter for public congratulation that a crying scandal should cease and that the Fayoum Light Railway Company, which has been so harshly, if justly, criticised in the past by the authorities as well as the public, should now become an integral part of the vast machinery of works of utility which have raised Egypt to the pitch of prosperity she is now enjoying.
We understand the Anglo-Belgian group above-mentioned has registered a company under English law with a very strong board under the chairmanship of Baron George de Router, the well-known chairman of Reuter's Telegram Co., and that a public issue will shortly be made in London, Brussels, and Egypt.
A correspondent sends to the "Times" the following particulars of the career of Wilson Pacha, whose death occurred lest week : — The death of Mr. James Wilson (Wilson Pacha) Assoc. M.In.C.E. M. In. M.E. which occurred at Hampstead on February 24, deprives the ranks of Anglo Egyptians of one of their oldest members. He was born in 1831, at Bridge of Weir, in Renfrewshire; and, after serving his apprenticeship as engineer with the famous ship-building firm of R. Napier and Son, of Govan, he joined the Cunard Company. In the service of this company be spent some time in the Crimea during the period of the war, at one or two engagements of which he was present. Soon his duties called him to Egypt ; and, in the year 1858 he entered the service of Ismail Pacha during the governorship of Mohamed Ali's fourth son, Said Pacha. Thereafter Egypt claimed him, and throughout the Khediviates of Ismail Pacha and Tewfik Pacha until 1901 (Abbas Pacha), when he retired from active work, his abilities and energies were employed in its service. For over 40 years he was associated, as engineer in chief, with the Daira Sanieh, and to the improvement and development of that great sugar growing and sugar-manufacturing enterprise he devoted the greater number of the years of his career. In view of the important advances which have been made latterly in the agricultural and industrial life of Egypt, it is interesting to note that he was instrumental during the crisis brought about by the cattle plague—in introducing steam ploughing into that country. Wilson Pacha, furthermore, was one of the first, if not actually the first (1880-81) to build an iron dahabeah—bending plates and frames by aid of native labour on the banks of the Nile, which, apart from the interest attaching to the conditional difficulties involved in its construction, was, and we believe still is, the largest boat of its order ever launched open its waters. From Ismail Pacha he received the firman of Bey in 1879 ; from Tewfik Pacha the Star of Egypt in 1883 ; and, in the same year, he was raised to the rank of Moutamais. The decoration of the third class or Commander of the Imperial Order of the Medjidieh was conferred upon him in 1886 (permission to accept which he received from Queen Victoria), later the Order of the Osmanieh ; and in May, 1895, he was promoted to the grade of Mirmiran with the title of Pacha.

The Constantinople correspondent of the "Times" remarks :––"Some irritation is shown in Turkish official circles at the intervention of Great Britain in what Turks affect to regard as an internal affair of the Ottoman Empire. In spite of the changes which have taken place in the last 20 years, Constantinople still clings to the view that Egypt is a Turkish province. The British Government, of course, has no intention of permitting any one to question its right to defend Egyptian interests from encroachment, whether by the suzerain State or from any other quarter. The aggressive conduct of the Turks is generally explained by a desire to strengthen their position at Akaba, which it is thought they wish to make the terminus of a branch line from Ma'an, connecting the Hedjaz railway and the Red Sea.
The Suzerain's Rights.
It will be no bad thing for diplomatic calm, says the "Globe," if the coming delimitation of the frontier between the Ottoman Empire and Egypt results in a dearer definition of Turkey's suzerain rights in the latter country. Among Old Turks, it is still held that the British occupation and control of Nileland do not produce any alteration in the ancient condition of affairs prior to the successful revolt of Mohamed Ali. This fossil iufluence being still strong at Yildiz Kiosk, the Sultan, swayed by it—partly, perhaps, by a much more potent influence in the background—has sent troops to a part of the debateable territory, apparently on the principle that possession is nine-tenths of the law. It is believed that this bold attempt to solve the boundary question has connection with a scheme for establishing railway connection between Asia Minor and the Red Sea, via Akaba. Germany has, for some time, taken a lively interest in that enterprise; some Berlin Chauvinists have even urged the expediency of canalising the isthmus separating the Gulf of Akaba from the Mediterranean, as a rival waterway to the Suez Canal. But the route passes through territory claimed by Egypt, and Great Britain, as her protector, will see to it that the Ottoman troops are withdrawn before the Joint Delimitation Commission gets to work. As for Turkish suzerainty, it is no more than a diplomatic make-believe ; if it were really recognised, there would soon be an end of British dominance on the Nile.
Suez, Thursday.
The Coast Guard cruiser Nour-el Bahr arrived here yesterday from Akaba, and will sail again tomorrow with despatches for the same destination. No change whatever has taken place in the situation, and the number of Turkish troops has not decreased :
H.M.S. Diana is still anchored at Farson Island.
A native contemporary declares that the Sultan has issued an Irade to the effect that the Governorship of Akaba will henceforth carry with it the rank of Lews. The Governorship of the district will a so carry with it the title of Mutassarifiat instead of that of Kaima-kamiet, as heretofore. The new Mutassarifiat will be attached officially as well as territorially to the Vilayet of the Hedjaz.
The Sudan medal is to be conferred on the troops who took part in the Niam Niam expedition under the late Miralai Boulnois Bey and Kaimakam Sutherland Bey, south of Wan and Oromik, between January and March 24, 1905. The clasp of the medal will bear the inscription "Niam-Niam."
At the suggestion of the Commandant of Police the Alexandria Municipal Delegation had under discussion at its last meeting the abuses committed during carnival time by the indiscriminate throwing of all sorts of dirty and harmful substances.

The following circular has been issued to the shareholders of the Nile Valley Company, Limited: I am instructed to inform you that it is necessary to make a slight amendment in the scheme proposed for the reconstruction of this company, and which was put before the shareholders on February 12th last, owing to the action taken by a shareholder holding 20 shares to restrain the company from carrying into affect that scheme. This decision is, of course, binding unless and until reversed on appeal, but as the decision will necessitate only slight alteration in the original scheme, and as time is of the greatest importance, it is not deemed worth while to appeal. The directors are sorry that you should be troubled with another meeting, but the alteration in the scheme most be submitted to the shareholders, and I am therefore instructed to enclose you a notice calling an extraordinary general meeting for Monday, March 5th, at 12 o'clock. As the resolutions to be proposed will require a three-fourths majority of those voting, I am instructed to enclose you a stamped form of proxy, which, if you are unable to be present, I shall be obliged if you will be good enough to sign and return to the office of the company, on-or before Saturday, March 3rd. The amended scheme which will be put before the shareholders is shortly as follows:— (1) A new company to be called the Nile Valley (New) Company, Limited, will be registered with a capital of £150,000, divided into 250,000 shares of £1 each ; (2) the liquidator of this company is to be authorised to sell the undertaking and assets of this company to the new company ; (3) part of the consideration for the solo is to be the allotment of 218,257 shares of £1 each in the new company, credited as 16s paid—that is to say, with a liability of is a share —30 that each shareholder in the present company will be entitled to subscribe for one new share credited as fully paid for each share now held by him, and all shares not subscribed by shareholders will be offered for sale by the liquidator. The liquidator will also have a call at par for one year on the unissued shares, videlicet, 31,743 shares ; (4) as further part of the consideration for the sale, the new company will pay any amount which may become payable to dissentient shareholders, in excess of the amonnt realised by the liquidator on the sale of the shares, which such dissentient might have claimed, and will discharge all the liabilities of the old company including advances and interest thereon, and will pay the reconstruction and liquidation exceases of the old company. You will notice that the scheme, so far as it concerns shareholders who take up the new shares, is practically unaltered, although it meets the technical objection taken to the previous scheme.
Mr. Justice Warrington, sitting in the Chancery Division last week, had again before him the petition of Mr. H. J. Mouson in reference to the compulsory winding-up of the above syndicate. Mr. Greenwood said this petition had been standing over for some time as there had been a good deal of litigation between the parties. All that was now settled, and, subject to his lordship's sanction, it was arranged that the petition should be dismissed without costs. Mr. Frank Russell for the company accepted.

The fine concert-room of the Khedivial Hotel was thronged to overflowing last night upon the occasion of the second concert given by M. Paul Kochanski. Such a musical treat as this wonderful young violinist of only 21 accorded his enthusiastic andience will, it may safely be conjectured, not be forgotten for long by those who were so fortunate as to listen to the exquisitely rendered performance of this, one might say, second Paganini. The programme opened with the well known and beautiful Concerto of Wieniawski in three movements. The first, Allegro Moderato, was perhaps the least attractive, having a good deal of that gymnastic element in its composition which, even in the hands of the best violinist, rarely affords so much pleasure as the more seductive strains of sweeter melody. The Romanza which followed may certainly claim to rank amongst the finest compositions written for the violin ; last night it was heard to the best advantage, and during this performance particularly M. Kochanski gave us a fine exhibition of his masterful talent, bringing out with inborn pathos the very essense and soul of his istrument. The final sprightly movement "Ala Zingara" gave a must pleasing example of the lighter style of this violinist's playing and was much appreciated.
The second part of the concert commenced with a strikingly quaint but nevertheless interesting composition by Tartini, "Le Trille du Diable." This dates from about 1770, and it may be of interest to relate that one night, while Tartini was working at a composition, the muse of inspiration having completely deserted him, he threw himself on his bad but to sleep fitfully. Suddenly he saw seated at the foot of his bed the awe inspiring form of Satan, who had taken his violin and was playing an air quite new to the composer. This was the theme upon which Tartini subsequently composed his "Le Trille du Diable," and it is considered one of the chef-d'oeuvres of this master. "Le Trille de Diable" was followed by an Intermezzo (Dogaresse) of N. Sinadino, with harmonium and piano accompaniment, the music of which produced by the blending of the three instruments was particularly effective. A Mazurka of Zarzycki completed the second part of the programme.
Tha final three items could hardly have been better chosen. The Chopin Wilhelmy Noctnurne, a Fileuse of Lotto, and last but not least, Paganini's "Le Streghe," all gave proof of the fact that variety of style in no way affected M. Kochanski's thorough mastery of his instrument. Two encores were given, the first, Bach's "Aria," calling forth genuine applause, and the finale, a most pathetic romanra "Con sordino," giving no less pleasure.
A criticism of the evening's performance would not be complete without mentioning the fine accompanying of Miss N. Goldsmith, who in no small measure contributed to the success of the concert, as well as M. Marini-Simonetti, who presided at the harmonium. We most sincerely hops that the rumour may be true that M. Kochanski may be induced to give us yet another concert at the Zizinia Theatre with fall orchestra before leaving Alexandria. In conclusion suffice it to say that after the grand performance of last night, M. Kochanski may at any rate feel confident of being accorded a very warm reception, if he does give us the pleasure of another hearing.

POSITION AND PROSPECTS OF THE COMPANY.
The fifth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Egypt and Sudan Mining Syndicate, Limited, was held at No. 6, Queen Street Place, London E.C., on February 27 last, the Rt. Hon. Lord Vaux of Harrowden (chairman of the company) presiding,
The Secretary (Mr. W. F. Garland) having read the notice calling the meeting.
The Chairman said : When I last had the honour of addressing you, some 12 months ago, it was my pleasant duty to ask you to consider as to the declaration of a dividend, as the result of the sale to the Sudan Gold Field, Limited, of the concession which we had been developing in the Sudan for some three or four years previously. The consideration received for the property so assigned enabled you to declare a dividend of 5s per share in cash, equivalent to £ 3,125, in addition to which a distribution of Sudan Gold Field fully-paid shares was made in the proportion of three of such shares for every four syndicate shares. The cash and share distribution together represented taking the shares at the par value of £1 each) a dividend of 100 per cent, upon the nominal capital at that time. Naturally, being an exploration company, and not a development company, we cannot expect to be in a position to make large profits every year. Before we can effect sales we have to prove that the property to be disposed of contains auriferous reefs, not only of an encouraging nature, but of a character which, so far as the indications and probabilites are concerned, leads us to believe that they will eventually prove to be valuable, and place the company acquiring the property in a profitable position. Although during the past year we have not advanced any of our properties in the matter of development to a point at which we should be justified in appealing to the public for a large amonnt of working capital, to develop them, yet we have accomplished a great deal of useful work towards the proving of their value, and are very hopeful that in respect of our Negem mine we shall find it practicable to deal with it in the near future. In Egypt we have continued active operations at the two centres, Dungash and Barrshme, at each of which we have had at times rich ore. The Dungash mine, notwithstanding that the ore bodies met with so far have been short, is one which in our opinion should be further developed, and at one point in particular—viz., the 200 ft level east of the No. 3 shaft—we consider that there is a reasonable probability of our intersecting a valuable run of ore. At Barrahme, also, where we have most extensive old workings, and where during the past twelve months we have had some of the richest ore we have yet met with either in Egypt or the Sudan, there is every inducement to continue the exploration both laterally and in depth. We have spoken in our report of the valuable rock met with at the bottom of the old workings at the No. 1 shaft at a depth of 192 ft from the surface. Some of the stones would give very high assay results, but at the depth referred to this remarkably rich chute is short, and we have now to open it up at deeper levels where we hope to find it more extensive.
On our Berber concession the opening up of the reef at the Negem mine is proceeding, and it is in connection with that portion of our Berber property that we hope that our next flotation may be made. You will have observed that Mr. Llewellyn regards this Negem mine as an extremely good prospect, and states that the reef is strong and well defined, and can be traced continuously for over half a mile. He further observes that an usually good results have been obtained from it even close to the surface, and that there is no apparent reason why the auriferous quality of the reef should not become more pronounced below the weathered zone. He concludes by saying that few reefs seen by him either in the Sudan or Egypt have been of greater promise. A statement of that kind from so capable and cautious an engineer as we have always found Mr. Llewellyn is extremely encouraging. He has within the past two or three weeks been visiting the mine, and will be shortly returning to England, when he will give us his latest impressions regarding it. We hope that by the time we may be ready with a scheme for dealing with this property, the market position in relation to Egyptian and Sudan mining enterprises may have considerably improved. We still retain our very large interest in the Sudan Gold Field, Limited. It is probable that many of our shareholders are also shareholders in that company, and have, therefore, seen the report issued by the Sudan Gold Field, Limited, in October last in anticipation of the annual general meeting, which was held on November 8th. That report was a very comprehensive and a very satisfactory one. It may, however, be interesting for me to quote Mr. Llewellyn's summary of the results of the operations at that mine for the twelve months to June 30th last. He stages : "(a) Development of the main reef through a practically continuous length of 2,000 ft., to depths varying from 100 to 200 ft below surface. (b) Discovery end partial development of three off shoots there from, one of which appears to be of as good value as the main reef itself. (c) Discovery and development to a depth of 100 ft of a seperate and distinct reef, which promises to greatly enhance the value of the northern blocks. As an indication of the practical value of these discoveries and the developments thereon, it may be said that over 1,000 ft in length of the reefs opened is regarded as of payable character." And at the conclusion of his report he remarked : 'I may say that the work of the past year has, more than that of any previous period, impressed me with the possibilities of the property you are here developing. The main reef has now been traced beyond all doubt through a continuous run of 2,000 ft., and it seems probable that it will be found to extend through the remaining 1,000 ft. to the western boundary. The continuity of the reef is, ipso facto, the best argument for its continuation in depth, although on this vital question the year's developments do not permit my carrying assertion much beyond the point reached in my previous report to the syndicate. Development in depth has been impossible in the absence of all machinery, except at greatly increased cost; but at the few points where the reef has been followed downward below the present drivage level there has been no diminution in value of the ores shoots within their normal dip. On the contrary, as far as I am able to form an opinion, the general tendency is towards improvement. Should this view be correct there is little doubt that in Om Nabardi you have a very valuable mine." We have, therefore, every reason to anticipate a successful future for the Sudan Company, and we hope to see our interest in it become of increasing value. In our report we also refer to an interest we have acquired in the Dareheib and African Syndicate, Limited. That syndicate is developing what is known as the Daraheib concession, in which are contained the Oaib old workings, of which for some years a high opinion has been entertained by mining engineers who have visited the property.
The Suakin Mining Syndicate, in which we hold in all 10,700 shares, was originally formed to explore a property in the Suakin district. The result of the investigation of the concession, however, was unfavourable, and that syndicate has recently acquired under option a property in the Sudan 1,000 square miles in extent, forming a portion of the territory owned by the Sudan Gold Field and situated a comparatively short distance from the Om Nabardi mine and from the Government railway. It has therefore, facilities for carrying on its exploratory work, and we hope to hear before long that the expedition which is now prospecting the area has succeeded in finding payable reeds. I have now, gentlemen, I think, touched upon the principle point in the report excepting the matter of the accounts, upon which it is not necessary to detain you for more than a moment or two. As we state in our report, at September 30th, 1904, there was a credit balance at profit and loss account of £84,460 12s 10d. On March 17th, 1905, a dividend of 5s per share in cash was paid and with the distribution of 39,234 fully-paid shares of the Sudan Gold Field, Limited, a total dividend of £52,500, or 100 per cent., upon the capital of the syndicate. That left a balance of £31,960 12s 10d, out of which had to be met income tax and the additional remuneration payable to the directors and managers, and after taking into acccount the further deductions to September 30th, 1905, you will notice that we have a balance at the credit of profit and loss account at that date of £19,090 17s 10d, which amount it is proposed to carry forward to the accounts for the current year ending September 30th, 1906. At the meeting held on February 28th, 1905, the capital of the syndicate was increased from £52,500 to £80,000 by the creation of 27,520 additional shares of £1 each. These shares were issued to the shareholders in the proportion of one of such new shares for every two old shares, at the price of £1 10s per share, or 10s per share premium. This new issue placed the syndicate in funds for the continuance of its development work. When we next have the pleasure of meeting you we trust that we may be able to report having succeeded in floating a company to deal with the Negem mine, and that the company's financial position is again such that we can recommend the payment of a substantial dividend. I beg to move :––"That the report and accounts now submitted be received and adopted." (Applause.)
Mr. Robert Taylor, in seconding the resolution, described the mining work done during the year, and the resolution was carried unanimously.
The retiring directors and auditors were re-appointed.

The Polo Tournament was continued on Monday afternoon, two more ties being played. Most unfortunately a ''hubbub" arose towards the end of the first game which completely spoilt the rest of the polo, the Tourists and the E.A. playing in a hurricane of wind and dust. The first game between the Freebooters and Mosquitoes was quite good, and was remarkable for the accuracy with which the latter team repeatedly met the ball, and their extraordinary good shooting at goal, two of Stockwell's goals and one by Graham being wonderful good shots. For all that the Mosquitoes thoroughly deserved their victory and had a good bit the best of the game. The Tourists continued their successful career, defeating the E.A. rather easily. They have now won all their games, but it is yet uncertain who they will play in the final on Friday. If the 60th win their game on Wednesday against the Freebooters the final will be between these two teams. It will be remembered that by the conditions of the tournament, the two teams scoring the most points meet in the final irrespective of the points already made.
FIRST CHUKKER.
From the throw-in Stockwell hit up, Rumbold returning. Graham got away and with two big shots nearly scored, Dunbar clearing. The Mosquitoes pressed and hit behind. From the hit-out Kennedy made a very good run the whole length of the ground, just missing a subsidiary with his final shot. Dunbar got away and Bartlett missing the former hit a goal with a good clean shot. From the throw-in the Mosquitoes ran the ball down and Stockwell hit a very good goal from a difficult angle. Freebooters, 1 goal ; Mosquitoes, 1 goal.
2ND CHUKKER.
From the throw-in Graham hit up with a long shot, Rumbold returning. The Mosquitoes ran the ball up but hit behind. From the hit-out Graham got hold and with a fine long shot hit a goal from a difficult angle. From the throw-in in the Mosquitoes again attacked and Bartlett nearly scored, Rumbold saving with a fine shot across the goal which went behind. Bartlett took the penalty, but Rumbold met the ball and Dunbar passing to Kennedy the latter got away and with a good run hit a goal. Up and down play followed the throw in. Dunbar got away and with a very long shot hit a subsidiary. Both sides were now attacking in turn. Dudgeon with a good shot passed to Stockwell, who hit a subsidiary. From the hit-out Stockwell hit an extraordinary good goal from the boundary line near the club house. Freebooters, 2 goals 1 sub; Mosquitoes, 3 goals 1 sub.
3RD CHUKKER.
The Mosquitoes were first on the ball from the throw-in but Rumbold returned well. Graham then hit behind. From the hit-out the Freebooters attacked and Dunbar hit goal. On the game being resumed the Mosquitoes pressed, Kennedy cleared, and Bartlett hit behind. The Freebooters were now entirely on the defensive, and if it had not been for the good defence of Dunbar and Rumbold they would have had a big score against them. After several good chances Graham hit a goal. Towards the end of the chukker Dunbar got away and looked like scoring but hit wide. Freebooters. 3 goals 1 sub ; Mosquitoes 4 goals 1 sub.
4TH CHUKKER.
Give-and-take play followed the hit-out. The Freebooters pressed and Dunbar hit a goal. The Mosquitoes now attacked and nearly scored. Again they attacked and all but scored, Dunbar saving well brought the ball round and hit up to midfield. Graham returned. There was only a few minntes left and the score level, the result was not long in doubt, however, as Graham getting hold with a huge shot, hit a goal. From the throw-in the Mosquitoes again attacked, Bartlett hitting up in front of goal. The Freebooters had bad luck as Rumbold had an easy backhander but the ball bumped and his pony kicked it through. Mosquitoes, 6 goals 1 sub; Freebooters, 4 goals 1 sub.
It was a good fast game with very rapid scoring on both sides. The result was rather surprise as most people expected to see the Freebooters victorious, but the Mosquitoes showed improved form both in combination and hitting. For the winners all played well. Graham and Dudgeon hitting particularly well. Stockwell also hit well, but he does not stick close enough to his back. For the losers Rumbold and especially Dunbar played brilliantly, the latter having to do more than his fair share of the work.They were by no means well supported by their forwards and that was where they failed.
FIRST CHUKKER.
From the throw-in Paravicini hit up and Brakenridge returned. Rome brought the ball across the ground, Akers Douglas centered well in front of goal, when Paravicini, with a good backhander, hit a goal. From the throw-in the E.A. attacked and Broadbent hit a subsidiary. From the hit-out the E.A. again pressed and hit behind. Another hit-out followed and Pickering made a good run up the ground. Rome missed badly and Parravicini hit a goal. Several exchanges followed the ball going out. Tourists, 2 goals ; EA., 1 sub.
2ND CHUKKER.
From the throw-in the Tourists ran the ball down and scored a goal. Brakenridge returned well from the throw-in and gave Broadbent a dear run, but both he, Gordon, and Rome all missed a good chance of scoring. The Tourists now attacked, Rome returning well. Back the Tourists come again and Paravicini hit a goal. The E.A. were now mostly on the defensive till just at the end of the chukker the E. A. ran the ball down but hit wide. Tourists, 4 goals ; E. A., 1 sub.
3RD CHUKKER.
On play being resumed Brakenridge hit up and Akers Douglas meeting the ball returned to E.A. goal, where Pickering scored with a good shot behind his pony's tail. From the throw-in Rome got on and with a good run took the ball to the Tourist's goal and scored. The E.A. now attacked. Pickering, meeting the ball, got away, but missing, Brakenridge returned. Scrambling play followed, the ball going from one side of the ground to the other. Pickering centred with a nice shot in front of goal but Brakenridge cleared well. Again the Tourists attacked and Akers Douglas scored a subsidiary. Rome took the ball from the hit-out and made a very good run up the side line and looked like scoring but Sparkes returned well and Akers Douglas brought the ball back. Gordon then made a clear run but missed and Sparkes returned. Just before time the E.A. very nearly scored, the ball going behind. Tourists, 5 goals 1 sub ; E.A., 1 goal 1 sub.
4TH CHUKKER.
The last chukker calls for little comment, the Tourists pressing hard the whole time. They scored two more goals, the best by means of Akers Douglas, who with his good shots hit up to the E.A. goals, and Brakenridge missing he hit through. Result : Tourists, 7 goals 1 sub. ; E A., 1 goal 1 sub.
Not a good game, being greatly spoilt by the high wind and dust. The Tourists had matters all their own way, being very sure on the ball and combining. For the winners, all played well, Pickering and Akers-Douglas especially hitting well. Sparkes had little to do. For the losers, Brakenridge played best, his backhanders being very good. As a team they never seemed to get together and there was a lot of missing.
ST. ANDREW F. C. v VICTORIA COLLEGE F. C.
The St. Andrew F. C. will play their closing match for the season on Saturday next when they are the guests of the Victoria College F.C. on the College ground. This will be the fourth meeting of these clubs for the season. The college XI. have had the better of the previous games, running out winners on two occasions, and one game ending in a draw. Tomorrow's game should be a good one and a good turn out of spectators is looked for. Kickoff at 3 p.m. prompt.
Extract from the Report of Lt. Col. von Donop to the Board of Trade (England) with reference to the recent accident at Witham, Great Eastern Railway, in which, it will be remembered, ten people were killed and about twenty injured.
DECEMBER 1905.
The third vehicle, a first class carriage, was also found derailed about 130
yards from the north end of the down platform, but its wheels appear to have
taken the rails of the through connection on the down main line leading to
the Maldon line, as it was alongside that connection that it was found
standing; the gas in the cylinder underneath this carriage
appears to have been ignited, and all the woodwork of the upper portion
of the carriage was completely destroyed by fire. There was only
one passenger in this vehical, and he fortunately escaped.
Attention should also be drawn to the fact that one of the carriages was destroyed by fire, owing to the ignition of the gas in the cylinder underneath the framework. Fortunately, no lives were lost thereby on this occasion, but the occurrence points to the desirability of adopting some other source of illumination, probably electricity.
First-class Carriage 484-Completely destroyed by fire.
As the outcome of this accident the Great Eastern Railway have decided to
equip the whole of their main line rolling stock in the
future with Stone's System of Electric Lighting instead of gas as
heretofore and Messrs. Stone have already in hand very large orders
for their apparatus from the Great Eastern Railway, and, in fact, from
nearly every Railway in England, Scotland, etc.
It will be remembered that many similar fatal accidents have occurred, not only in England, but in America and on the Continent.

KEARSLEY AND CUNNINGHAM'S WEEKLY REPORT
Liverpool, March 1.
The demand for Egyptian has been much smaller this week. Prices however, are considerably dearer, especially for the fine qualities, which are in good request. Quotations of Brown are raised 3/16d @ 1/4 per lb. ; but Fine is exceptionally 1/2d lb. higher. Uppers are in less demand, and are only 1/16d. @ 1/8 up. In Futures a large speculative business has been done, and prices have advanced considerably.
The following are the latest quotations :––

American Futures. The Market this week has displayed more activity; at the opening, continued free liquidation and some "Bear" manipulation caused a decline of 5 @ 6 points; but evidently the markets became sold out, and a steadier feeling has prevailed, resulting in a recovery of 14 @ 15 points from the lowest rates touched. The full improvement has not been maintained ; but closing values are 7 @ 8 points above those of last Thursday. The chief features have been the large takings of spinners whose requirements are apparently much greater than had been generally supposed, less free offerings from America, and some signs of a falling off in the movements of the Crop, which, it is expected, will shortly become more accentuated. Although the general sentiment is not what can be described as "bull-ish," there is an impression that prices can easily be carried upwards temporarily. The latest values are delivery :––

A Londres, le Consolide anglais a hausse hier de 3/8 a 90 3/4 et l'Unifiee da 1/4 a 103 1/2. La National Bank et l'Agricole sout egalement renseignees en reprise de 1/8 a 27 5/8 et 10 1/4. La Daira Sanieh est restee invariee a 17 7/8.
A Paris, l'action Credit Foncier Egyptian a gagne 6 francs a 797. La Banque d'Athenes a reagi de 3 franca a 144.
Notre marche des valeurs a presente, encore ce matin, la meme caracteristique que ces jours derniers: la plupart des valeurs sont plus ou moina negligees; en revanche, beaucoup d'animation et de transactions sur un groupe de titres qui sont les favoris du moment.
La National Bank et l'Agricole ont cloture un peu plus faibles qu'hier a 27 7/16 et 10. Le Credit Foncier s'est inscrit a 792-793 et la Behera a 39.
Les actions Land Allotment ont avance a 3 15/16, presque a 4 en cloture; la part de fondateur a hausse a 135.
L'action Immobiliere est restee a 386 ; la part de fondateur a hausse a 525.
La part de fondateur Enterprise and Development a gague encore L.E. 1 1/2 a 18 1/2.
Le mouvement qui s'etait dessine sur la Societe d'Entreprises et de Travaux s'est accentue vivement ce matin; l'action a cloture a 4 7/16—1/2, et la part de fondateur a 12 1/2 acheteurs, gagnant L.E. 2 1/2 en une séance.
A signaler, d'autre part, les Omnibus du Caire qui, de £20 3/8, cours d'hier, ont cloture aujourd'hui a 26.
Dans le groupe des Hotels, les Nungovich sont restes a 16 7/16 et les Baehler a 6.
Parmi les petites valeurs, les Estates se sont raffermis a £2; les parts de fondateur ont atteint 10 3/16. Les Egyptian Constructions ont cloture a 1 3/4 et les Cotton Mills a 7 sh.
On nous fait remarquer que nous avons fait erreur hier en mettant a l'actif de l'exercice 1905 de la Compagnie Immobilize d'Egypt l'enorme benefice resultant de la revente de l'immenble de l'ancienne Zaptieh.
Ce profit et celui donne par la revente de l'ex-propriete Borelli, s'elevant tous deux a environ 40,000 livres, doivent etre imputes a l'exercice 1906.
Au reste, si nos informations sont exactes, le total des benefices bruts pour les deux premiers mois de l'exercice courant, atteint deja la somme de 60,000 livres, par suite de la revente de petite lots de terrain que la Societe effectue presque journellement, depuis le 1er Janvier, aux conditions les plus remuneratrices.
On a commence hier a traiter a la Bourse d'Alexandria les actions du Banco di Roma, qui viennent d'etre admises a la cote officielle. Le cours pratique a ete de Frs. 128.
Hier, a la meme Bourse, les actions Spinning and Weaving ont atteint £11/16 pour cloturer a £l sur des realisatioms. Le bruit courait que la Societe paierait un premier dividende.
A l'assemblee generale ordinaire de la Cassa di Sconto ce di Risparmio, tenue dimanche passe a Alexandria, le dividende de l'exercice 1905 a ete fixe a P.E. 34 par action sur les 25,000 actions des anciennes emissions P.E. 25 1/2 sur les 25,000 actions de l'emission 1905. Ces sommes sont payables a partir du 12 du courant.
Les assemblees generales extraordinaire et ordinaire de l'Egyptian Improvements Corporation ont eu lieu hier dans l'apres-midi au Caire. Les propositions du conseil d'administration tendant a porter le capital-actions a £200,000 et a creer des obligations jusqu'a concurrence de £100,000 ont ete adoptees.
Un dividende de P.E. 10 par action a ete vote. Il est payable des le 12 du courant a la Banque d'Athenes.
Nous prions les personnes qui veulent bien nous transmettre des communications pour notre Circulaire d'avoir l'obligeance de signer leurs lettres ou leurs envois, non pas que nous entendions faire le moindre usage de leur nom, mais simplement pour mettre notre bonne foi en garde contre des surprises possibles.

Le marche a presente de violentes fluctuations en Khedivial Mail Ordinary et une grande activite en Estates, Oasis, Brasseries, Cotton Mills et Salt and Soda.
C'est, comme on le voit, le triomphe des petites valeurs. La Khedivial Mail Ordinary s'avance a 44, les Estates a 2 3/32 les actions, a 11 les parts de fondateurs, l'Oasis a 1 7/16, les Cotton Mills a 7/6, la Salt and Soda a 24/9.
Eu hausse egalement la Brasserie des Pyramides a 130, la Crown Brewery a 224, les Markets a 24/6.
Les Anglo-Egyptian Land Allotment, que nous avons recommandes dans notre derniere chronique, montent de 3 13/16 a 4 3/16 les actions et de P.T. 125 a 158 les parts de fondateurs, en bonne tendance.
Une reprise a lieu en Delta Light. Beauco up d'echanges se pratiquent a 12 1/8-12 3/16. On s'attend a la reprise du mouvement haussier sur cette valeur.
La Ramleh est cotee 6 15/16 nominal. Il n'y a pas de vendeurs.
Les Investments tombeut sans motif a 1 1/4 ex a la nouvelle, deja connue, d'un dividende faible. Les vendeurs semblent donone tenir auoun compte du brillant avenir de cette societe.
Contrairement a ce qui a ete dit, la Khedivial Mail ne possede au Gabbari aucun terrain a vendre ou a ceder, le terrain qu'elle possedait jadis dans cette localite ayant ete cede au Gouvernement en meme temps que les docks.
Le Banco di Roma reactionne a 126 1/4.
Un confrere annonce que l'emplacement choisi pour la Bourse du Caire est une partie du terrain ex Sabet achetee par la Corporation des agents de change a la Compagnie immobiliere d'Egypte.
La Bourse sera situee sur l'avenue Scleiman Pacha, entre une rue nouvelle et le passage deja existant qui conduit de la rue Chawarbi a la rue Soleiman. La rue nouvelle, qui reunira les avenues Kasr el Nil et Soleiman, aura une largeur de douze metres.
On voit par ce qui precede la confiance qu'il fallait avoir dans les assurances categoriques des gens toujours bien informes qui voulaient envoyer la Bourse...au bain, pardon au Hammam.
Les principaux journaux indigenes ont publie avant hier la depeche suivante :
Arment, 7 mars, 9 h. 55.
"Nous omdehs. notables et agriculteurs des teftiches d'Arment et El Dabiya, nous vous faisons savoir que la declaration en faillite des Sucreries a fait sur nous l'impression de la fondre et nous prions qui de droit d'accepter le concordat par pitie des dix mille personnes qui vivent de cette entreprise, et, surtout, de nous qui possedons des milliers de feddans et qui avons commence a les cultiver a canne pour l'annee prochaine, la culture du coton n'etant pas propre a l'agriculture de la region. Nous avons le ferme espoir que notre demande sera acceptee en consideration de notre etat de misere et de celui de la population."
Extrait du rapport du Lt. Col. von Donop au Ministere du Commerce (Angleterre) au sujet du resent accident survenu a Witham, Great Eastern Railway, et dans lequel, on s'en rappelle, dix personnes perirent et une vingtaine furent blessees.
DECEMBRE 1905.
"La troisieme voiture, un wagon de premiere classe, fut trouvee egalement
derailles a environ 135 yards de l'extremite nord du quai de depart; ses
rones semblent avoir suivi les rails de l'embranchement de la voie de depart
principale conduisant a la ligne de Maldon, car elle fut trouvee sur un des
cotes de cet embranchement; le gaz du cylindre place sous
cette voiture semble avoir pris feu, car toute la boiserie de la partie
sucerieure du wagon a ete complitement detruite par les flammes.
L'unique voyageur qui se trouvait dans cette voiturs reussit heureusement a
s'echapper.
Il faut noter egalement qu'un des wagons fut detruit par le feu, par suite de l'inflammation du gaz dans le cylindre place sous la charpente. Heureusement il n'y eut pas de mort a deplorer en cette occasion, mais l'evenement fait ressortir la necessite d'adopter un autre systems d'eclairage, probablement l'electricite.
"Wagon de premiere classe 484 completement detruit par l'incendre."
A la suite de cet accident le Grand Chemin de Fer de l'Est a decide de doter
a l'avenir le materiel roulant de sa ligne principale
du systeme d'eclairage electrique Stone au lieu du gaz employe
jusqu'ici. La maison Stone a deja recu une commande importante de
ses appareils pour le Grand Chemin de Fer de s'Est, ainsi que pour la
plupart des chemins de d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse, etc.
On sait que de nombreux accidents mortels analogues sont arrives non senlement en Angleterre, mais encore en Amerique et sur le Continent.

"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 express steamer's 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.

HOTEL DE FRANCE.
GRAND HOTEL DE PARIS
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.
World-wide reputation.
