So great is the interest now being taken in Egypt by the home Press, that certain London papers have expressed their intention to send out special correspondents to study the affairs of the country. Up to the present we Have always considered that the average Britisher showed a remarkable ignorance of this country, in spite of its importance both politically and commercially, and we are glad to observe any evidence of awakening interest. The Britisher has for long been accused, and to a large measure rightly, of lack of enterprise, and the businessman of Egypt especially grumbles at his hesitation to out British goods on the market here and the restrictions with which he hedges round would-be agents. On every side we see foreign firms creeping in where we should have come in first, and, though we hardly agree with the pessimists who prognosticate the day when Great Britain will be a secondary or even tertiary commercial power in Egypt, we full agree with those who say that the Old Country fails to realise what an enormous field is open to her sons.
The London journalists who are about to visit this country have, therefore, a great and serious opportunity before them, and we await the results of their visits with interest and even with anxiety. The political and commercial affairs of Egypt are not such as can be grasped by a cursory glance. Writers of such articles as we look forward to reading must, necessarily, generalise and this entails deep study and searching inquiry among competent men who know the country au fond, as far as that is possible. It is only in such a way that the articles can be made of real value.
We do not give this warning without reason. About a fortnight ago there appeared in a prominent London paper an article of a column and a half purporting to deal with the future in Egypt. If the writer's idea was to provide the reading public with facts which might indicate to them what the future of Egypt is likely to be, he failed miserably. The article, indeed, is chiefly remarkable for its verbosity, and a considerable part of it is devoted to a picturesque description of a journey which he made to Zagazig and a hardly more à propos account of an interview which he had with an officer who served under Arabi Pasha at Tel el Kebir.
And even with the more important parts of the article there is much fault to be found. As an opening sentence the writers says: "Ten years ago Egypt was a country of the dead." All who have studied this country must know that in 1896, during which year her revenues totalled L.E. 10,260,000, she was very much alive, and had already made a good stride towards her present-day prosperity. Ten years ago her imports showed an increase over the previous year of L.E. 1,271,000 and her exports an increase of L.E. 568,000. Ten years ago Egypt exported 4,008,000 cantars of cotton, an increase of 148,000 cantars over 1895. Ten years ago the railway receipts amounted L.E. 1,822,000 and 9,864,000 passengers were conveyed by the railways; telegraphic receipts amounted to L.E. 53,000; 1,286 steamships cleared 1,943,000 tons of goods at Alexandria, where the receipts of the port were L.E. 141,000. And this from a country of the dead!

The new Minister, who is one of the most enlightened, will not fail to encourage the study of foreign languages (Cairo, 1 Sharia Kamel; Alexandria, 12, rue Rosette), which today play such a great part in social relations. [ADVT.]
The resignation by Yacoub Pasha Artin of his post of Under-Secretary of State to the Ministry of Public Instruction is confirmed.
Yacoub Pasha Artin has done much for Egyptian education during his tenure of office. A savant with a touch of the martinet, he aroused during his tenure of office a certain amount of hostile criticism and a very general respect. Whatever may have been said of the retiring Under-Secretary during the students' strike, which his uncompromising attitude did much to quell, we are convinced that the general sentiment at his departure will be one of unmixed regret. He has done much for education, and his studies on Oriental subjects will be referred to by the historian when the very names of his predecessors are forgotten. Sir Richard Burton acknowledged his debt to Artin Pasha's immense knowledge of Oriental customs, religion, and institutions, and the public service must be the poorer for the retirement of one who fully deserves the compliment of being termed, in Oriental phrase, "a treasure-house of hidden knowledge and a star of refulgent learning.'
It is not yet decided to suppress the post of Under Secretary of State of the Ministry of Public Instruction, left vacant by the resignation of Yacoub Pasha Artin. We understand, however, that the Government is considering it.
At the next meeting of the Council of Ministers the appointment of Ozman Bey Mortada, director of the native service at the Ministry of Justice, as counsellor in the Alexandria Mixed Courts, in succession to the late Ali Bey Fakhry, will be discussed, and, we understand, is likely to be confirmed.
The vacancy thus caused in the Ministry of Justice will be filled by Abdel Khalik Bey Sarwat, now inspector of that Ministry, in conjunction with Mr. Brunton, now subdirector.
It is also proposed to divide the offices of the Ministry from the beginning of next year into three directorates, one to deal with the Native Tribunals, the second with the Mixed Tribunals, and the third with the Mehkemeh.
The squadron of the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, on their reconnaissance march, arrived here at one o'clock this afternoon, and are bivouacking to-night about half a mile to the north of the town. The squadron consists of 130 officers and men, under the command of Major Paterson, D.S.O. They are accompanied by Captain Grant and Mr. Lloyd, of the Ministry of the Interior. Moberley Bey also is here.
The Omdeh of Shebin, Elwi Bey Ghazar, on whose land the troops are encamped, entertained the officers to tea this afternoon in his pretty garden on the banks of the Bahr-el-Shebin.
Major Paterson, Capt. Grant, Moberley Bey, and the officers of the detachment dined tonight with Shukri Pasha, the Moudir of Menoufieh.
The detachment sets out for Ashmoun tomorrow morning in two companies, each company taking a separate route.
Our Correspondent telegraphs this morning that the troops left Shebin-el-Kom at half past eight o'clock.
On the 20th inst, we referred to a quarrel which arose between the conductor and controller of a Cairo tramcar and which, as reported by a Cairo contemporary, resulted in the interference of two shawishes and an agent of the secret police, who, it was alleged, held the controller (a Frenchman) tight for the conductor (a native) to pommell him.
The facts of the case were communicated officially to the Press yesterday afternoon as follows:—
"The inquiry held into this affair has shown that the controller violently assaulted the conductor, and that the police intervened to put a stop to the fight. A large crowd collected and the police requested the controller to accompany them to the caracol, but he refused.
"Meanwhile a janissary of the French Consulate arrived, and the controller “went to the kism in the company of the janissary and the police.
The janissary deposed that the police agents did not strike the controller; several other persons have given evidence to the same effect, among them an employé of the Government schools, an Italian yousbashi of police, and a shawish, also an Italian.”

Lord Cranbrook is dead. (Reuter)
The Right Hon. Gathorne Gathorne Hardy, Viscount Cranbrook G.C.S.I., P.C., was the third son of the late Mr. John Hardy, of Dunstall Hall, Staffordshire (who for many years represented the town of Bradford in Parliament), and of Isabel, daughter of Mr. Richard Gathorne, of Kirkby, Lonsdale. He was born at Bradford, Oct. 1, 1814, and educated at Shrewsbury School, and at Oriel College Oxford, where he gained a second-class in classics, and took the degree of B.A. in 1836. He was called to the Bar at the Inner Temple in 1840, and practised as a barrister for several years. Mr. Hardy unsuccessfully contested Bradford in the Conservative interest in 1847, but was returned to the House of Commons in 1856 as member for Leominster, which borough he continued to represent till the celebrated Oxford election in July, 1865, when, after an exciting contest, he defeated Mr. Gladstone by a majority of 180, this being the principal Conservative success at the general election of that year. In 1868 Mr. Hardy was appointed Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department in Lord Derby's second administration; on the formation of Lord Derby's third administration in July, 1866, he became President of the Poor-Law Board; and on the resignation of Mr. Walpole, in May, 1867, he was nominated Secretary of State for the Home Department, which office he held till the resignation of the Conservative Ministry in Dec. 1868. On the formation of Mr. Disraeli's administration in Feb. 1874, Mr. Hardy was nominated Secretary of State for War. In May, 1878, he was raised to the House of Peers by the title of Viscount Cranbrook, of Hemsted, in the County of Kent; and he assumed, by royal licence, the additional surname of Gathorne. In the same year he succeeded the Marquis of Salisbury as Secretary of State for India, and held that office until the Conservatives retired from office in May, 1880. In Lord Salisbury's Cabinet of 1885, and again in 1886, Lord Cranbrook held the office of Lord President of the Council, and in 1892, on the resignation of the Government, he was created Earl of Cranbrook and Baron Medway of Hemsted in the county of Kent. He married in 1838. Jane, daughter of Mr. James Orr, of Holyrood House, co. Down. He is succeeded in the title by his eldest son, the Hon. J. S. Gathorne-Hardy, Lord Medway.
Hussein Pasha Kamel, uncle of the Khedive, came down from Cairo yesterday, and had an audience of his Highness, who afterwards left for Montazah.
Yesterday being the anniversary of the death of Mohamed Aly, the founder of the Khadivial Dynasty, a service was held in the Citadel Mosque, Cairo, under the presidency of Prince Mohamed Aly, representing the Khedive.
The two Englishmen who were sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment for the affray at the Nouveautés Theatre are confined in the Menshieh gaol.
The sentence has aroused but little criticism. A French Cairo contemporary remarks:— "However severe this decision, it has been approved by all the British colony. There are certain clownish tricks and vulgarities which Europeans, regardless of nationality, must absolutely forbid. The judgment does honour to Mr. Alban's spirit of rigorous equity."
Commenting upon the conduct of the mamour in accompanying the Englishmen to the St. James's Bar, another contemporary says:— Ce mamour est plein de sagesse ; il sait que la vérité est au fond des verres et il ouvre à la jostice égyptienne des horizons nouveabx sur l'art de faire parler les prévenus et de mener une enquête.
Espérong qu'on n'hésitera pas à charger Badr-El-Din Rafar d'an cours de beaverie à l'Ecole de police à l'aeage des futurs mamoura. On y enseignera l'application de ce proverbe mis à la sauce égyptienne :
"Mamour, mamour, quand to dous tiens on peut bien dire, adieu caracol."
The Saida Zeynab Native Court has sentenced Mustapha Fahmy, a bookseller, and Mohamed Ismail, a publisher, both of Cairo, to one month's imprisonment with hard labour, for publishing an indecent work. The hearing of the case took place in camera.
The two latest additions to MacMillan's Colonial Library are "Chippinge," a political romance of the days of the Reform Bill, by Mr. Stanley Weyman, and "A Lady of Rome," by Mr. Marion Crawford. Mr. Weyman's novel is a very vivid piece of writing and the interest never flags from beginning to end. "A Lady of Rome" is well worthy of the reputation of the author of "Saracinesca." Both novels are well worth reading, and fully sustain the reputation of MacMillan's Colonial Library for excellence of printing and moderate price.
Commenting on the appointment of the new Minister of Public Instruction, Hassan Abd el Rezek, in the "Moayad," says:—
We have learnt with joy of the nomination of Saad Bey Zaglool to the post of Minister of Public Instruction. The news has relieved us in a certain measure of the sorrow we have borne for some time, and is probably the harbinger of noble reforms. Saad Bey is a man of high principles, zealous, independent, and energetic. The nation sees in his appointment a ray of hope pointing to the sincere execution of genuine reforms by the authorities. Recent incidents—the complaint of the Legislative Council to the Prince of Wales, the demands of the General Assembly, the demands of the higher students, the critiques of journalists, and the complaints of the whole people concerning the condition of public instruction in Egypt—have brought about this change, which is, in our opinion, a proof of the intention of the authorities to introduce reforms.
We thank H.H. the Khedive and Lord Cromer for the appointment. The attitude of the latter proves that he feels the necessity of abandoning severity in favour of conciliatory measures towards the nation and of confiding posts of responsibility towards its most capable members, an attitude which is truly worthy of the honour of Great Britain.
May the new Minister allow us to recall the wise advice which he gave to the proprietor of the "Moayad" in 1891? This advice gave the writer an energy and perseverance which were his capital and which won him the confidence of his friends,
"Al Moayad," whose dislike of the English occupation is well-known, shows some venom in a long article criticising the Advisers, from which we extract the following:
The Advisors form the axis of the Government Departments round which all work moves; and did they work in secret, as they used to do some years ago, they would very much resemble the saints called by a set of Moslem fanatics (Sophies) the Aktab, whom they believe, to have the power to govern the whole universe secretly.
These Advisors attend at his Lordship's mansion every morning and afternoon; they do everything they wish in the Ministries; had they taken all responsibility upon themselves, then would they have been the true ministers disguised in the names of Advisers.
We do not deny that his Lordship furnishes these Advisors with sound opinions and honourable principles; and let us suppose that he does not fail to rebuke them for errors. But is this sufficient to justify placing the reins of Government in the hands of five Englishmen?
Why should they be all Englishmen? Why should they not be all Egyptians, or at least some of them?
Is it impossible for his Lordship to choose from among the Egyptians five old or young men qualified to fill these posts and in whom he can place his confidence and thus gain by their services what he would by the services of Englishmen? Cannot his Lordship realise that his supervision, which has its uses in ennobling the souls of Englishmen, would also be useful in ennobling the goals of Egyptians?
What we now propose we only propose theoretically, and we hope our readers, especially Englishmen, will not be led to think that we endeavour to usurp such posts, as have been created for them and them only, or that we try to gain the confidence of his Lordship, a thing more inaccessible than the stars.
If the Adviser must be an Englishman, young or old, experienced or inexperienced, why should he be overbearing and haught, imperious and contemptuous; so much so that he does not condescend to become acquainted with the high class of the people except for the purpose of obtaining useful information? He may pass ten years in the country without learning about it what the tourist can learn in the winter season, since the latter may interrogate now and then his interpreter or the servant of the hotel on subjects that remain unknown to the Adviser through his haughtiness and contempt.
A meeting will be held this evening at the Alexandria Municipality of the special committee, which was recently formed to go into the question of the Municipal grants to charitable institutions, schools, etc. It is a moot point whether the Municipality ought to be liberal in according grants of the public monies to strictly denominational schools.
Not a piastre of the grant of L.E. 174,803 made this year towards the Nile-Red Sea line has been spent. That for Port Sudan, of which the budgetary provision was L.E. 210,000, was increased this year to L.E. 315,150. Of this total, L.E. 102,320 has been expended on the important works now in progress there, leaving a balance of L.E. 212,880.
The Papayanni liner Austrian sailed from Malta last night, and is due here on the 3rd inst. with passengers and mails.
The Cunard S.S. Pavia arrived at Liverpool on Monday evening.
Last night, at the Khedivial Opera House, we had the real "Geisha" with proper uniforms, proper songs, and words which had not suffered from translation—a welcome change after the Italian representations recently given in Cairo.
The performance was distinctly good. Mr. Cole seemed, for the first time it must be said, somewhat tired; he was stereotype at moments and only gave us two verses of “Chin Chin Chinaman.” We hoped for encore verses, but he confined his repetition to the dance. Mr. Lester made his points very cleverly, and had many wise "saws" with most up-to-date instances. Miss Corlass looked very charming and sang, danced, and acted as gracefully as over in the principal of Mimosa San. Miss O'Connor as the French Mousmé and Miss Morra as Molly Seamore were most lively, Mr. Percival gave his one song in excellent style, and we must not forget Mr. Attwell, who gave "Star of my Soul” well, but otherwise seemed rather under par. He appeared as if he did not quite care for his part, but, as we have said, it was a capital performance and the only real fault was the occasional lapse of the orchestra. The cornet was lamentably flat all through "Star of my Soul." We must, however, remember that the orchestra is local, and for all Mr. Warwick Major's abilities, we cannot expect perfection in music which the orchestra had probably seen only once or twice before the performance.
M. Raoul Poucet, lessee of the Khedivial Opera House, is due to arrive from Europe next Monday. The constitution of the company and the repertoire will be submitted to the Ministry of Public Works immediately on the arrival of M. Poucet, and the first performance will be given on November 24.
Dr. and Mrs. McLaughlin, of the Sudan American Mission, have returned to Egypt. They are accompanied by several new missionaries for the Sudan, among whom are the Rev. M. Curry, Mr. Tidrick, an agriculturalist who will teach the natives farming, and Miss McLean, a teacher.
The Rev. J. G. Hunt, of the Assiout branch, has returned with his wife and children, and this branch will be strengthened by the addition of a new member, Dr. Finley, who is also accompanied by his wife and family.

The Mixed Misdemeanour Court of Alexandria gave judgment on the 29th instant in the case brought against the Tantal chemist, who was accused of seriously injuring a native man and woman by giving them a live potion, which the Sanitary Administration declared to be a most noxious concoction of poisonous ingredients. The full details of the affair were given in a previous issue. The judgment runs as follows:—
Attendu qu'il résulte da procès-verbal même du 13 mai 1906 que la liqueur vendue par Mohamed Rayan sous le nom do potion de carottes a été absorbée à diverses reprises par différentes personnes et notamment par Ahmed Effendi el Maghrabi lui-même sans produire d'effets fâcheux.
Que si le dimanche 18 mai 1906 Ahmed Effendi el Maghrabi et sa femme se sont trouvés malades, il ne résulte de rien que ce soit par suite de l'absorption de contenu de la potion vendue par Mohamed Rayan : qu'en effet, la bouteille contenant cette potion a été ouverte par el Maghrabi lui-même, que le contenu a pu en être modifié par lui ou par toute autre personne. Que ses déolarations ne peuvent suffire å identifier le contenu de la bouteille.
Attendu que le prévenu a donné lui-même la composition de son médicament; que le M.P. ne fait pas la preuve que la potion délivrée à El Maghrabi ait eu une composition autre que celle indiquée par la praticien.
Attendu que celui-ci déclare que le liquide qui lui a été présenté semble avoir subi une addition ou une altération.
Attendu que l'incorporation d'une substance nocive, fût-elle établie, ne saurait, en l'état, l'être à l'encontre de prévenu, aucune autre personne que le plaignant n'ayant connu les faits qui ont pa se passer entre le moment de l'ouverture de la bouteille et celui de l'absorption d'une partie de son contenu.
Que dès lors une analyse de saurait être concluante au point de vue tout au moins de la poursuite actuelle.
Qa'il en est d'autant plus ainsi que le <!--illegible--> saisi par la police a été ultérieurement <!--illegible--> par un agent, et le contenu transvasé sans aucun controle ni garantie dans une autre fiole.
Par ces motifs, statuant publiquement et contradictoirement et le M.P. entendu, reçoit en la forme Moh. Rayan, opposant an jugement du 8 septembre 1906. Au fond, relaxe le prévena des fins de la plainte sans dépens.
Signé : le juge délégué,

K.S.C. v. R. INNISKILLING FUSILIERS.
This return fixture was played at Ghezireh on Saturday, 28th inst. Several alterations were necessary in the composition of the home team, and for a variety of reasons Barnard, Brereton, and Curry gave way to Fletcher, Ashcroft, and Lefton making a practically new forward line from that which drew with the same team a fortnight ago.
Stout won the toss, and defended the pavilion goal. The advantage of the sun was considerable at first and enabled the home team to immediately become aggressive. Yates and Fletcher were early conspicuous, but found the defence equal to all emergencies, and for the most part the game was in midfield, where high kicking on the part of the defence deprived the game of much interest, as the ball was too frequently in touch." Several useful runs were inaugurated by both forward lines, but each needed finish, and lack of shooting power was lamentably evident on both sides. One effort however by the home forwards deserved a better result. Receiving from Etherington, Smith, Yates in turn transferred to Fletcher, who, after taking it down the wing, went across a magnificent centre, only to see the opportunity go begging, through the inside forward not being up. A second movement, however, carried out on the same wing, enabled Yates to give to Deacon, who after tricking the backs had little difficulty in placing the ball into the corner of the net, Howlett having no chance.
At half-time the advantage of the odd goal still rested with the home team. But on restarting the determination of the Inniskillings to get on terms was soon evident, and the home defence experienced more than one anxious moment. Welsh and Branagh, on the left, were always conspicuous, the former especially playing a particularly olever game. The equalising goal came about ten minutes after the interval. A clever run by the visiting left, which the defence failed to stop, gave Welsh a chance, which he accepted, to send across a clever centre, and a misunderstanding between the back and goalkeeper left an absolutely open goal to Percy, who made no mistake. The pace of the game was well maintained to the end, but nothing further was scored and for the second time this season the result was a drawn match.
From an artistic point of view the game can hardly be voted a success. The pace of the ground and the light ball may have been responsible for the somewhat ragged exhibition. There was far too much high kicking, and combination was rather at a premium and good shooting entirely absent. A little more practice, however, should make all the difference and once together the home team should give a good account of themselves during the coming season. In the military team there are distinct possibilities: they possess a clever left wing, and Welsh was the best forward on the field. Smyth, too, at left half, was as usual ubiquitous, but the backs kick too hard and apparently without any consideration for the forwards in front of them.
The following were the teams :
K.S.C.—Morrison, goal; StUnt and Wyatt, backs: Wesley, Rivers Smith, and Etherington-Smith, half-backs; Lefton, Ashcroft, Deacon, Yates, and Fletcher, forwards.
R.I.F.—Howlott, goal; Pte Lyons and Pte Ward, backs ; Cpl. Miller, Sergt. Walker, and Pte Smyth, half-backs: Ptes. Hatton, Percy. Higginson, Branagh, and Welsh, forwards.

The decision to recommend the postponement of the further consideration of the Education Bill until a final judgment has been delivered in the West Riding case is a natural and indeed almost a necessary consequence of the decision to appeal against the judgment of the majority of the Court of Appeal. We have already remarked that both good sense and good policy, even in the narrower party sense of the term, pointed to the wisdom and the expediency of having the appeal entered. The same considerations point, not less conclusively, to the wisdom and expediency of having it determined before the House of Lords are invited to proceed with the Education Bill. Until final judgment has been delivered upon the point raised in the West Riding case, neither the supporters nor the opponents of that measure can debate it with any assurance that they rightly understand the present situation of the education question. The Bill, no doubt, covers many other points besides that which is in controversy in the West Riding case; but its main object, we have been constantly told, is to remedy a grievance which the judgment of the Court of Appeal affirms to be a non-existent grievance. The Government would clearly stand at a disadvantage in pressing the House of Lords to legislate on the supposition that the highest Court which has spoken on the subject is wrong, and that it may hereafter be reversed when the case comes on, in ordinary course, before that House as the Court of final appeal. ("Times.")
Parliament reassembles to-day, after a quiet and rather dull recess. Though there are elements in the situation that promise, or threaten, a lively time, it cannot be said that there is much, if any, public excitement. The fact, whether it is welcomed or deplored, is indisputable that Parliamentary proceedings are fast losing their interest for a great mass of people. The bare results of the day's sitting are all that the average man cares about, and the number of those who read even the much-curtailed reports of speeches is diminishing, There are advantages and drawbacks in this growing indifference. At the present moment we are inclined to think that the profit preponderates over the loss. ("Telegraph.")
One of the first matters with which Parliament will deal is the intended reduction of the Navy. As we have consistently maintained, it is above all things necessary that this question, like all questions affecting the national and Imperial defences, should be steadfastly treated as above all considerations of party politics. We regard any Government of what political complexion soever, in so far as they fulfill their first duty, which is the due and sufficient maintenance of the sea and land defences of the Empire, as entitled on this head to the support of every loyal citizen. Conversely, we regard any Government, of what political complexion soover, who sacrifice the efficiency of the Services, no matter what the pretext, as unfaithful to their trust, and as no longer fit to hold the power and the insignia of their high office. It is a heavy indictment that the Government will have to answer. If, as we sincerely hope, they elect to abandon their intention of disastrously crippling the efficiency of the Fleet, no one, as we have said, will more heartily support their action than ourselves. But, even so, it is idle to suppose that, however plausible the explanations presented, their reputation has not been seriously perhaps irreparably, injured. The great body of the nation, although they may not be stirred to loud protest, are profoundly discontented and distrustful. It will need much—very much—to restore their confidence. ("Standard.")
M. Clemenceau will probably prove to be the most original Premier whom
France has had since Gambetta, and the few facts known as yet about his
Ministry stamp him as a man of courage and ideas. He proposes to place
at the head of the army his friend General Picquart, who was up till
July a colonel "en retraite," broken for his gallant defence of Major
Dreyfus, and even expelled from the Legion of Honour. General Picquart
has so much ability and a character of such rare independence and moral
courage that his promotion will be hailed abroad as a striking act of
reparation. I the French pro-
What is to be said of M. Clemenceau himself? He also was a figure in the great Dreyfus drama. He was Zola's Editor, one of those splendid statesmen journalists of whom France has in her day produced so many. This is the man who now steps up to the position of supreme executive power in France. Zola is dead, else perhaps he also might have been summoned to this astonishing Government. That it will work well we have every confidence, and this emergence of absolute uncompromising honesty in public affairs should stimulate English politicians to drop their wearisome compromises, and adopt in their place a touch of real conviction. (“Daily News.")
In his categorical repudiation of the late Government in the so-called scheme of "devolution," Mr. Balfour has undoubtedly done much to relieve the apprehensions of Unionists in Ireland as well as in Great Britain. But whether he has done enough to restore the entire confidence which alone can ensure a solid resistance to the proposals of the Liberal Government remains yet to be seen. Prima facie it would seem that Unionists have a right to demand that their leaders should disclose the scheme which was actually contemplated by the late Government in regard to Ireland and which, therefore, may be offered as a constructive alternative to the measure, which the present Cabinet will sooner or later introduce. That some such alternative scheme was entertained is at least a fair inference from Lord Lansdowne's statement at Nottingham that even when he saw the second "devolution" draft in the hands of Sir Antony MacDonnell he did not think it necessary to communicate the fact to his colleagues. So far from damaging the reputation of Mr. Balfour and his Cabinet, such a declaration would do more than anything else to ensure the full restoration of the confidence which even now is but partially established. ("Morning Post.")
The League of the Empire has succeeded in perfecting a scheme for holding a Federal Conference on Education in London in May next. The Colonial Office have, we understand, afforded valuable official encouragement in the matter, and the League has been authorised by the Secretary of State for the Colonies to state that the scheme has his sympathy and assistance. The President of the English Board of Education has also given his support. The Board will be fully represented at the Conference, and Mr. Birrell will preside at the opening meeting. Invitations have been despatched by favour of Lord Elgin to the Colonial Education Department, and the cooperation of the Indian Government has also been requested. Educational authorities in different countries have expressed their warm approval regarding the scheme, and the Council of the League of the Empire has confidence, therefore, in carrying forward the Imperial education work with which it has been entrusted, and asks the help of all concerned in bringing it to a successful issue. That, we are sure, will be readily accorded, for the object is an altogether excellent one. ("Westminster Gazette.")
The machinery of the Empire is hopelessly out of gear, and is in need of entire reconstruction. The inability of our present Ministers to see beyond our own shores or to grasp the larger interests of Empire is being daily brought into greater prominence, and it is safe to say that since their return to power more dissatisfaction and indignation has been caused throughout our colonies than would have been conceived to be possible in the time.

The "Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin" (New York) contains the following letter from Mr. Cope Whitehouse:—
Sir,—The Bank of Bogland recently sent £1,000,000 to Egypt, and attention has been directed to the general condition of that country by a special Consular Report entitled "Progressive Egypt” (Sept. 17). The conclusions at which Consular Agent Pepper arrives point to the burating of a number of "speculative bubbles" founded on the familiar practice of converting suburban acreage into town lots, with a rise in "price," which is called an enhanced "value." American manufactorers are, nevertheless, advised to cultivate Egyptian trade, and cautioned against demanding cash on delivery, or giving shorter credit than three months. Lord Cromer in his last report on Egypt (April) says that while so far as he is “able to forecast the future, no sufficient ground exists for holding pessimistic views," he concedes that the great rise in the value of land, is the sudden rush which has been made to invest capital in various commercial undertakings, the destruction of the sugar industry—as the result of dealing with the land formerly planted with cane—and other causes, have "tended to foster a suspicion that Egyptian affairs generally are unsound, and that a reaction, accompanied possibly by disastrous consequences, will probably take place before long” (p. 17).
The financial disturbance in Egypt twenty-five years ago had little effect outside of three or four of the principal banking houses of the day and their clients. The total unsecured debt at the time of the British occupation (1882) was about $250,000,000; and there were no local financial corporations of the slightest international importance. This is changed. A flood, such as those of 1861, 1868, 1874, and 1878, would impair the ability of English, French and German banks of the highest standing to hold American securities or assist in carrying out projected enterprises. The Egyptian debt itself, deducting the amount realized by the sale of collaterals, has not increased much over 70 percent since the British occupation, with nothing to show for it as an asset, but at least $600,000,000 of "capital" has been placed there. As "the imports, including specie, have for two years exceeded the exports," Lord Cromer remarks that "should this influx of capital at any time ease or diminish, the external debt of Egypt will be increased by the amount due to the foreign investor on the Capital now flowing into the country." In 1876, the exports were $67,806,425, and the imports $20,205,955. In 1886, the exports had been reduced and the imports increased, leaving a balance in favor of Egypt of about $12,725,000. In 1906 the imports exceeded the exports by $6,020,000. So far as Wall Street is concerned, the only question is how far finance bills have been placed by, or through, such banks as the Crédit Lyonnais, the Destsche Bank, the Banque de Paris et de Pays Bas, the Bank of Abyssinia and other institutions which advertise for business in the Alexandrian and European papers. The purely Egyptian deposit banks have increased their liabilities from $37,280,000 in 1901 to $98,020,000 in 1905. Lord Cromer "cannot help thinking, after examining the balance sheets of the leading banks, that it is worth the attention of the directors to consider whether the proportion of the liabilities, covered by cash, by money at call or short notice, or by first class securities, should not be increased.” In National banks here only "first-class" securities are regarded as assets!
A comparison of the chief articles of export—cotton, beans, wheat, onions and sugar—in the Consular Report of the late Consul General Cardwell (1886), and the latest statistics, fails to justify the title "Progressive Egypt” of the report of the Department of Commerce and Labour. The cotton exported in 1886 was, it is true, only 563,000 bales; but while more than half of the population of the Delta was employed in its cultivation, all but three percent of the Egyptians south of Cairo were engaged in cereal agriculture. It was a normal output, fairly steady, like that of sugar prior to 1896. The cotton output in 1896-7 (before the Assouan Dam was begun), was 1,175,000 bales of 500 pounds; in 1899-1900, 1,301,000 bales; in 1905, in spite of increased acreage and the Assouan reservoir, it remained stationary. But the crop of 1905-6 was a "veritable disaster," with a "deterioration in quality and quantity of 30 percent." The acreage planted this year is 60,000 acres less than last year, with extremely high prices on a rising market. Apart from cotton, grown apparently at a loss, it is difficult to see what Egypt offers in exchange for $101,500,000 of imports, except finance bills or "securities." In 1886, 4,528,400 bushels of beans were exported, as against less than half a million (469,275) in 1905, while it would seem that in 1906 all but 30,925 bushels were kept for home consumption, and rice was imported. Before 1886, the exports of wheat averaged about 2,600,000 bushels. In 1905 there was less than a thousand bushels (900). and in 1906 none at all. Even onions (grown largely for export) fell from 793,973 boxes (1905) to 540,281 (1906).
The cultivation of tobacco, which flourished with a tax of $500 per acre, was long ago prohibited in European interests; while sugar has now also disappeared.

It will be seen from these facts and figures that American manufacturers are not far wrong in exercising caution. The local banking facilities offered the purchaser are more than ample. But the real importance lies in the apparently speedy elimination of over $500,000,000 of "securities” now carried at par, or even at a premium, from the available collaterals of the European bankers, who compete for Egyptian bills, with its consequent effect on the money markets of the world.

"La situation monétaire généralo' continue à atre l'objet des préocoa pations de notre place. L nouvelle a couro anjourd'hui que la Banque de France est prête à mettre à la disposition de la Banque d'Angleterre 200 millions d'or, op qni permettrait au conseil de celle-ci de rs ner l'escompte à 5%. Dads 008 conditions, on suppose que la Banque de France ne serait pas obligée de porter à 3 1/2 og 4 % le taux offi. ciel de l'escompte français, et oette combinaison aurait la plus heureuse influence sur le marché.
"La chose es900tielle, toutefois, pour que la situation monétaire se détende réellement, o'est que l'Amérique voie cessar un état de pénurie qoi 80 réperonte sur le marché international. A New York, incontestablement, le marobé est gêné, mais M. Shaw a toat ce qu'il lui faut entre les mains pour lui venir en aide, lorsqu'il sera déoidé à le faire. Les autres facteurs qu'il faudrait faire entrer en ligne de compte, tels que les demandes d'or passagères de l'Egypte, sont beaucoup moins importants."

Cours de l'Association des Courtiers en Marchandises
This the great religious month of Pan Islamism, has in its varied ceremonial and legendary observances, much that brings to the fore the most lively colours and pictures of Oriental life—scenes which are hidden during the other months of the lunar calendar. It is a month of spiritual rejoicing, rather than of penitence—a rejoicing epitomised by a superstition which prevails both in Egypt and Turkey, that the Afrit, or evil genii, are chained during this season. It has nothing of the dirgeful abstinence of the Latins, which follows Carnaval, nor of the strict dietary regimen of the Greeks ensuant on Katheri Deuthera, still less of the funereal characteristics of the Yom Kippur of the Hebrews. On the contrary, socially, what with "iftar" parties and late nights, and general illuminations, it is a season of refreshment to the Mohamedan world in all ranks.
The fast was instituted by the Prophet in the second year of the Hejira. He himself fasted during nine Ramadans. Prior to that the disciples of Mohamed fasted on the 10th day of Moharrem, in imitation of the Mosaic Fast. It was during this month that he retired to the grotto on Mount Hara to pray. The Arabs had originally a different name for this fast, which was called Ramadan on account of its coincidence with the hottest season of the year; some Ulema even holding that the word signifies “burning,” while others say that it is one of the epithets of Allah.
Of all cities of the Mohamedan East, the Ottoman capital lends itself both by natural position and the devoutness of its population to the most imposing celebration of this fast. After a long and weary day, the Ramadan gun at sunset is a welcome signal, and ere night settles on the City of Many Waters, every mosque and public place of worship—from Imperial Suleimanieh, where they look for the new moon, to the poorest mesjid—is ablaze with light—rows of oil-lamps hung like golden rings round the slender finger of the minarets," or suspended between them. The lights so suspended are generally formed into a pious inscription; but in the more important mosques local conditions are symbolized. Thus at St. Sophia, a standard; at the Admiralty Mosque, Kassim Pasha, an anchor; and at Tophaneh, the Arsenal, a Krupp gan. Two hours after iftar, the mueddin summons the Faithful to the Teravi, or Evensong. Attendance at this is incumbent on all Moslems, who are not, however, obliged to go to mosque, but may with their friends hold a service at home. The Mosques—and there are many in saintly Stamboul — are consequently thronged; St. Sophia is especially so on the 15th, the Night of Power, so graphically described in that faithful and graphic work on Constantinople—"Paul Patoff.”
Yildiz holds a service in the Tohit pavilion; the Khedivah Mother attends the Toravi in her own private chapel at Bebek; and many of the Ottoman grandees on the Bosphorus say these special prayers in their own yalis. The Teravi over, the congregation disperse to various places of amusement, and find in the quaint though primitive performances of Kara Gioz and Hadji Aïvat, who occupy the boards of the open-air cafés of Direkler Arassi, a fund of delight. At an unwonted hour—for Stamboul—they retire to rest, to be roused in their sleep by the drum-thunder of the bekdji, who during this month is for once useful that is, as far Moslem ways go; to the uninitiated Iufidel, newly arrived, the din is somewhat startling in the early hours of the grey dawn. Bakshish, however, and no religious sentiment is his ulterior object, for on the Beyram, he together with the sudji, odabashi, tchopdji, call with a gift which is a sprat to catch mackerel. A song they sing is to the following effect:—Halsïklar! Halsïklar, ojak bashinda saïklar, bekjinin sessidi douyounja pirinjin tashin aïklar. Helessa! Helesss!" Which, being interpreted, meaneth:—"The Halaïks sleep on the stone hearth, but at the sound of the bekdji's drum they haste to prepare the rice for the pilaff."
A silver medjidieh will rejoice the honest bekji's heart, and next Ramadan, out of gratitude, he will make such a row that you with he would beat-not the drum-but a retreat. During the day the mosques are also frequented, and the markets in their courtyards are largely patronised, the souk in Bayazid Djami, the Pigeon Mosque, being one of the sights of Stamboul at this season; the mosques leasing the stalls naturally benefit largely by this temple traffic. Trade and religion seem to go hand in hand, for at the end of the row of stalls, there sits an aged muderris, gravely expounding the doctrines of the Hanafites.
So much for the Ramadan in Imperial and Tarkisb Stamboul.
In the Hedjsz, the sternly religious element of the fast is constant with the true center of Islam. On the 17th day there is a great religious ceremony at the sanctuary of Mecca, in honour of the Prophet; it dates back to the reign of Sultan Mustapha II, and it is in recognition of the great services rendered by the Ottoman Sovereigns to the Holy Places of Islam. From the 21st day the imams of the four rites read the Koran in turn. On the 27th there is a special ceremony in the eastern cupola of the sanctuary, and sorbets are distributed to the congregation. At Medinah a similar ceremony takes places, and the pilgrims are entertained at Iftar, Prayers are said, and sacred books read around the Prophet's Tomb until the hour of rest.
Returning from Europe and who have not hitherto used HOWIE'S BUTTER should not fail to give it a trial, before making their winter arrangements.
Address:—Shubra Road, Cairo.
In an article in the "Manchester Guardian" on Mr. Theodore Davie’s recently published work on "The Tomb of Hatsbepsut", Professor Flinders Petrie pays a tribute to the enterprise of Mr. Davis in so speedily preparing the result of these discoveries at Thebes, which is, he says, in marked contrast to the silence of some workers, and the slow and imperfect statements of Government work. The enterprise of Mr. Davis in past years, as also now before us, ought to shame the conduct of those who only dig for plunder to put in a museum, and not for scientific information."
Passing on the subject of the work, Professor Petrie says:
The great Queen who ruled from 1516 to 1481 B.C. used to be known as Hatasu; the sign read as "as” was then found to really have the sound "sheps," and hence the name was "Hatshepsut," with the feminine ending"." And in Professor Maspero's full-blown Coptic pronunciation this becomes "Hatshopsitu," as rendered in this book. However the name may be sounded, it means the "Leader of the Peeresees," a semi-title given to the Princess Royal as heiress of the kingdom by Egyptian law.
In the desolate valley of the Tombs of the Kings at Thebes a crumbling tunnel cut in the rock and running steeply down into the depths had long been known, but it seemed too unpromising and dangerous to repay the great labour of clearing out the hard mass of chips which filled it. The narrow, steep pit occupied Mr. Carter during seven months' labour. With the help of air pumps and electric light be succeeded in clearing the 650 feet of length, and at the last the rubbish had to be brought up no less than 300 feet of vertical height. The distance being round two curves, up three steep passages, and broken by three high stairways, hand labour was the only method possible. At last the funeral chamber of the great Queen was cleared, and in it were found two grand sarcophagi of Hatshepsut and her father, Tahutmes I. Both were cut in the beautiful red quartzite sandstone, about 7 1/2ft. long, nearly 3ft. wide, and about the same high. The outer sides are covered with figures and inscriptions exquisitely engraved. Both were empty, the lids lying thrown on one side, and the coffins shifted and tilted up by plunderers, who had smashed all the funeral furniture and left mere fragments behind. The incompletion of the various alabaster vases when built up suggests that more might have been recovered by paying rewards for all the chips which must have been scattered in the tons of rubbish removed from the chamber.
This volume has given an opportunity to Dr. Naville to sam ap his long study of the Queen and her works in 74 pages. We must all be glad of this, as no scholar has spent more time on this period. The subjects of the association of the Queen upon the throne, her great expedition to the Land of Punt, or Somaliland, her great temple at Thebes, the troubled questions about the succession of her husband Tahutmes II. and her nephew Tahutmes III., and the mystery about the erasure of her name all render this age of much historical interest. Yet it is impossible to agree that this reign "was certainly one of the most important of the XVIII. Dynasty," in view of the crucial importance of the conquests of Ashmes I., Tahutmes I., Tahutmes III, Amenhotep III., and the religious revolution of Akhenaten. Hatshepsut cannot claim more than a middle place in the most brilliant dynasty of Egyptian history.
Two important points of history are stated, that the Queen was married to her brother Tahutmes II (p. 15), and that the restorations of the cartouches of Tahutmes II. are due to Sety I. and Ramessu II., as they occur on the monuments where the name of the god Amen is similarly restored (p. 18). But it is impossible to agree that the regnal years of Tahutmes III. begin at the death of Hatshepsut (p. 20), as he was a man at that time, and we cannot suppose that he would suddenly begin his great Syrian wars far later after 22 years of solo reign. There is nothing known of him but association in a few ceremonials until, in the 22nd year, he began the continuous series of conquests which went on for twenty years without a pause. On studying the family History it seems clear that Tohutmes III. began his reign legally at the death of his father, Tahutmes II.
The period when the great obelisks were raised is conjectured (p. 45) to have been at the time of the inundation; but the matter can be proved by the dates given, where it is stated that the obelisks were begun on 1 Mekhir and finished on 30 Mesore ("Student's History of Egypt," ii. 86-7), that is from 1st February to 30th July at that age. Thus they were ready for transport by the inundation, which is in full flood from the middle of July till October.
The misspelling of Deir el Bahari, which people will call Bahari is defended (p. 52) by a misunderstanding of English pronunciation. It is untrue that we cannot sound “h” unless a vowel follows it, as every educated person accustomed to aspirate Horlf or Hlothair. and the correct name Bahri is pronounced far more correctly than Bahari. We may say that a photograph would have been better than a dubious sketch for a frontispiece, and there is no index and only a very brief list of contents. But we must be very glad of the splendid publication which has been so quickly given to the world.

In April next, Lieutenant J. B. Gibbs will complete his three years in the adjutancy of the 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards, Cairo. Most likely he will be given an extension for the remainder of the life of the battalion, which as already intimated in these notes, is earmarked for disbandment at the close of its Egyptian tour,
Second Lieutenant E. C. Bowen, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, gets his second star after two years and three month's service.
It is understood that the tenure of lieutenant colonels of Royal Garrison Artillery will be reduced from five years to four in order to bring them under the same condition as lieutenant colonels of cavalry regiments, and battalions of infantry.
The finding of the Army Council, and the sentences imposed on the delinquents in connection with the South African War Stores scandals have not given satisfaction to anyone. There is a general vagueness about the entire matter, and it is very hard to gauge the guilt of the parties concerned. The general feeling is that the finding and sentences are very much like the scandals—a regular muddle up. The last has not been heard of the matter yet.
The new 18 quick firing guns, and the new 13 pounder quick firing guns, with which the batteries of the Royal Field Artillery, and the batteries of the Royal Horse Artillery are armed respectively, are to be subjected to a severe examination to test their durability after twelve months' service.
The threatened redaction in the Royal Navy is looked upon in service circles as a piece of suicidal folly on the part of the present Government. The country is awakening to the sense of the gravity of the situation, and the assembly of Parliament will be the signal for some very plain speaking on both sides of the House.
An opposite, and somewhat amusing, instance of the progress in our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language is afforded by the apparently successful proof that a word in the Ebers Medical Papyrus hitherto translated as "Mandragora", really means Fuller’s. Earth The essay upon this subject is by M. Henri Gautier, who shows that the previous scholars who following the celebrated Brugsch Pasha rendered the word didi in the Ebers Papyrus Mandragora were all in error.
It is always when mentioned in old Egyptian literature said to come from Elephantine. In the Berlin Medical papyrus it is, mixed with other substances, used as an astringent. At an exhibition held at Elephantine—when that site was the boundary fort between Egypt and the Sudan in honour of the visit of a Pharaoh, Didi was an important article on show. Other texts tell as it coloured liquids red, which Mandragora would not do. The proofs of his thesis M. Gautier, however, derives from a comparison of the Coptic world for a Fuller, and for the "Fullers' Stone," and need not be dwelt upon here.
The recognition of the word's true signification shows how necessary it is to take the statements of even such a genius as Brugsch Pasha with some caution and how much room there is for students of the Ancient Egyptian language to improve our knowledge of the true meaning of many words long since known. Also once more is shown the importance of a complete mastery of Coptic for the study of the old Egyptian vocabulary.
In this case great assistance was afforded by early Arabic-Coptic dictionaries and so Europe is indebted to the scholars of Islam in the matter, as in many others.

Persons importing Egyptian Labourers to work in the Sudan are recommended to enter into a written contract with them. This contract should be explained and signed by the Labourers in presence of an official or other reliable witness.
The Sudan Government will shortly dispose by Tender of about 400 Building Sites at Port Sudan.
The sites will be Leasehold held at Annual Rents on Building Lease for Eighty Years from 1st January, 1907. Rents will be payable only from date of acceptance of Tender.
The Lease will be Perpetually Renewable at Revised Rents fixed in default of Agreement by Arbitration at the end of each term of years.
In fixing the revised rents the value of Buildings erected by Lessees will Not be regarded as a ground for Increase of Rent.
Example: If a plot is leased for a term of 80 years from 1st January 1907 then on the expiration of that term the Lessee will have a right (subject to observance of his convenant etc) to obtain a fresh lease for a further period of 80 years at a revised rent, and so on in perpetuity. The revised rent will be calculated on the value the site would bear if it were vacant building lands.
Offers are invited of Premiums for the Purchase of the above mentioned leasehold sites.
All offers must be made by Tender, on the forms issued by the Sudan Government, and must be received at Khartoum not later than 1st January 1907.

A BROKEN-DOWN SYSTEM.
This is a condition (or disease) to which doctors give many names, but which few of them really understand. It it simply weakness—a break-down, as it were, of the vital forces that sustain the system. No matter what may be its causes (for they are almost numberless), its symptoms are much the same; the more prominent being sleeplessness, sense of prostration or weariness, depression of spirits and want of energy for all the ordinary affairs of life. Now, what alone is absolutely essential in all such cases is increased vitality—vigour--
VITAL STRENGTH & ENERGY
to throw off these morbid feelings, and experience proves that as night succeeds the day this may be more certainly secured by a course of the celebrated life-reviving tonic
THERAPION No.3
than by any other known combination. So surely as it is taken in accordance with the printed directions accompanying it, will the shattered health be restored,
THE EXPIRING LAMP OF LIFE LIGHTED UP AFRESH,
and a new existence imparted in place of what had so lately seemed worn-out, "used up,” and valueless. This wonderful medicament is purely vegetable and innocuous, is agreeable to the taste —suitable for all constitutions and conditions, in either sex; and it is difficult to imagine a case of disease or derangement, whose main features are those of debility, that will not be speedily and permanently benefited by this never-failing recuperative essence, which is destined to cast into oblivion everything that had preceded it for this wide-spread and numerous class of human ailments.
THERAPION
is sold by the principal Chemists throughout the world. Price in England, 2 9 and 4/6. Purchasers should see that the word 'THERAPION' appears on British Government Stamp (in white letters on a red ground) affixed to every package by order of His Majesty's Hon. Commissioners, and without which it is a forgery.
