The coming struggle between the Government and the House of Lords ismuch occupy ing the home Press. Tbe' "Spectator," In, an article on the subjact, gives vent to the follow ing reflections : —
What we ask is that there should be some machinery for ensuring that fundamental changes in the law and the Constitution shall not be made with undue haste or through logrolling bargains, and that before such changes are effected it dial] be made certain that we are . Hot mistaking a'passing whim for the deliberate and authentic (decision of the electorate. Whether this machintoy should take the form of aoefficient 'Second-Chamber, as in most European countries, or of that excellent and essentially conservative institution^ Referendum or poll of the whole people, as in Switzerland, is a question open for discussion ; bat some check thbre must be on the gusts of popular passion which are liable to pass over the House of Commons.
We have pointed out one aeries cif objections- ' to the House of Lords as a revising Chamber. Another set is to be found id the fact that under the present system some of our best' and ablest 8tatesmen,anci.tho6e well fitted by education and tradition for administrative work, are shut up in* the House of' Lords, and condemned. by,the custom of the Constitution to take only a Very imperfect share in the work of government. No one can doubt that the natural place of Lord Salisbury was in the House of Com- ' mons, and that it would have been far better • for the conduct of public affairs had hey as Prime Minister, been able to sit in the Lower ' House. -The same may be said with oven more eai'pharts Of Lord Rosebery. His gnat political abilities have been wasted by the fact that, though endowed with'gifts that would have made him a most successful party .leader in the Commons,'he has been forced to spend ihis political lifo away from the sceno of ^administrative power. Though WJJ want a Second House for revision, we. do not w4nt to plaop. in it our natural administrators or leaders of men, dr tq deny the House of 'Commons the presence of politicians who would strengthen it from'evhty point of'view. The choice open to the ejeotors should be «e wide aa tta nation, and if they' desire to bi» represented by a Peer they should be able to accomplish that-desire. The grievance of being shut out from the strong and full-blooded political* life of the House of Commons is felt keenly by very many of the most capable Peers, and we may feel certain that they would view with few qualms anyalteration In the position of the Second House, which would -. set them free. Thus, not only is the conservative and moderate portion of the nation by no means alarmed at the notion of tha abolition^of the present House of Lords, but the part of the Peers themselves view J with no little sympathy. iis is not the occasion to suggest the best substitute for the House of Lords. We may say, hl»(weyerpthat if it is deoided to establish a iW Second House, we believe that it would Ife wisest to give that House a frankly demooratio basis, and to leave no doubt as to* Its autlrority in tha Constitution. In our opinion, the sort of House needed might be formed by, taking twenty great: area* throughout tho United Kingdom, And asking those areas to elect ten representatives oaoh, but to elect them under the system of minority representation secured by tho single transferable vota. This' week an experimental eleotion has boen condutftod by the IVoportiooal Representation Society on Che plan .of t he singly transferable vote, in briler to show how perfectly easy and simple is the tneohskisiu employed. 8uch a system would secure thal all sections, of the nation would bo fairly and ocouniteiy represented in tho Upper House, and that tho work, -of revising tho legislative' .crudities of tlio House of Commons would lie efficiently carried out. Tho Second Houae**wq have described need not have any more power over pionqy Bills than th# House-Of 1 Finis, and therefore, ss now, The House of Commons would choaAl and direct the Executive,'which must depend upon those who possess the control of the purse. We shall be asked, of course, hew wo propose to settle a conffiet of opinion between two legislatiye'bodies, each with a demoo ratio mandate. ''Our answer -would be that either Hmue.might, i> a majority of two-thirds, demand a poll of the people on any particular legislative measure. But in cases where no such two-thirds majority could be obtained, the two Houses should, in case of fundamental disagreement, sit and vote together, the result of such joint vote to be final.

We regret to announce tha death of Mr. Pericles Glymenopoulo, which. took place suddenly yesterday afternoon at his residence at Alexandria; Mr. Glymenopoulo appeared to be in his usual health yesterday, and up to the time of his death looked as robust and genial as ever. But for some time past he bad a weak heart and while at lunch yesterday he retired owing to feeling faint and was never Seen alive again, death being due to heart- failtre.
Mr. Glymeropoulo Was born at Athens and educated at the Christian Brothers School at Alexandria. He started his business career as a stockbroker at Alexandria and, though beginning with very little capital and ii flaence, he gradually worked his way up until he attained a recognised petition among the magnates of the Hellenic community at Alexandria. The phenomenal success of his flotation, the Egyptian Trust aid Investment, Limited, was a signal proof of the confidence be inspired, and he was very popular among all classes as an open-hearted and generous man.
The Hellenic community ot Alexandria will accord the deceased a public funeral. The cortege will start from the deceased's residence 3, rue des Fatimites, Greek quarter, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The schools of the community were closed to day as a mark of respect.
At the corner where the Nasrieh tramcar branches off from the Old Cairo tram line at Bab el Louk there stands a house of historic fame called Bait Arabi Pasba. This was the home then inhabited by the leader of the rebellion of 1882, and the objective of the British troops after their arrival from Tel el Kebir. It is said that a detachment of the troops marched straight from the station to his house and surrounded it with a cordon on that eventful evening for Egypt and the Egyptians. The part of the premises between, the two tram lines is now the residence of the C.M.S. English missionaries; and their book shop, which was known to so many in Sharia Mohamed Ali, has now found temporary quarters in the spacious hall below the house where at othar times meetings are held attended by the students of the Government schools and of Al Azhar University

Tbe subscription for the 25,000 shares offered to the public in this new company has been a great success, as the applications amount to 38 times the number offered, so that subscribers will be allotted only about 3 per cent, on the number of shares applied for.

Tha firm is one of the highest standing in this country and has been long established as private bankers in Cairo and Alexandria.

When I quitted Cairo last spring the question of the day was whether the boom
in adding would survive the dead season, which 'as then jnst setting in.
Nobody who ha» not ssided in Egypt osn realise how complete and ow prolonged
the exodus is' year after year: Ivery Cairene who has the means to leave— nd
at the present there are very few who ave not the means to travel abroad—is
as ager to quit the Land of the ftile as if it ere plague stricken. The
exodus begins on fay L and only ends in the'beginning of October. Not only
tourists and foreign visitors, ut dootors, lawyers, merohants, bankers,
hopkeepers, citton-brokers, and contractors bsent themselves from four to
five months, ud leave their, bosineses, their oounting- ousyjand their shops
to look after themalvewpsq.stock exchanges are virtually dosed. Tie Xies recorded are imaginary, because here is no
market, neither sellers nor buyers, it the end of April the mad fever of
speoula- ion, which had gone on increasing sinoe )ctober, Was abruptly
closed ; and it was not inreasonable to expeot that the Egyptian inblie
might profit by the interval of enforo- d rest, and come to their sober
senses. This leepondent view was not, however, shared by b6 leading
financiers of Cairo and Alexandria, ihq declared confidently that the supply
of and available for building purposes was still' ar behind the demand, and
that the extraagant prioes given fcr.bnilding lots would hare o be still
more iifhted before the demand onld he met. It locks as if the optimists
rere in thw right after all. Ever sinoe the ommencement of November, when
the absences returned, and when every ontward-bonnd teamer was filled to
overflowing, the boom ecommended with fresh vigour. In February ut a plot of
land which belonged to the gar- lens of the Mohamed Aly Palace, dose to he
British Agency, was purchased at the nice of £25 the square mitre. This
price raa considered enormous at the time. Within he last few days, however,
this same lot has teen resold for £52 the iquare mitre, and the iresent
purchasers are buying, not with the riew to resale, but in order to build
upon it orthwith. No doubt a never ending rise in he price of any artiqle is
as improbable as he disoovery of perpetual motion. Someday irices must
obviously reaoh their maximum, lere as well u elsewhere, and must then begin
to fall; but that day is not yet, and in the ipinion of shrewd judges .is
still remote.
Meanwhile, there dan be no question that Cairo firm'y believes in there being a brisker rade tfian ever in-houses to pnrohase and in ipartments to let. Everywhere, and in every lirection, there are new houses built and let cefore they are finished. Within the last s;x nonths houses bnilt only two or three years igo have been pulled down in order to be replaced by dwellings containing a higher n ameer of storeys, a larger number of flats. Hotels —l sort of lath-and-plaater mushrooms—have been springing up, and the houses io the fashionable quarters are beooming so* tall as to well-nigh shat oat the sunshine, snd, I fear, to deprive the trees, which still bor ler the Footpaths of the light necessary to prolong their ex:atence. Shepl^eard's Hotel has added s third <tory fo its stzootnre, so u to provide sooommodation for more gqeata ; and the Savoy has bought qp adjaoent houses and con- Yerted thqm into annexes. 8o far as I oan gather, the number of visitors who have arrived at Cairo in the month just ended has been smaller than that of November, 1905rhut .I am told the forward booking after Christmas has beep exceptionally large. Anyhow, lam convinoed there will be a good many more vish tors than I or the old residgn^ Cairo would wish to seg hqye. |t makes me sad to notjqo day. fttter day how the progress of Cairmeqiviligation is disfigariog and distorting tha old city, Katr el Mas?, as the Arabs oqll it, Le Grand Cairg, as the Freqoh Dana9 °*tbe era when hiqaiL the l^rst in name and the last in fact of* t^e Khedives, ruled over ^gypt 8till, I am bound to admit that the Cairo of to-day is, after all, & far more comfortable abode than it was when the Saez Canal had just been completed. There is.nqt qoapltal in the world where yon Qin get all the oumforts and luxuries of olvilieed life more easily, or— putting house-rent aside—more reasonably than you can here. The climate is still the most liveable and the most restful I know ol in any part of the globe ; the Nile flews on today, with its mysterious rjse and fall, as it did in the days af the 8hspherd Kings j the Pyra mids, and all the matvelloqa monuments ol bygone ages, u p aii> se feta and as intatigibk as ever j ' and, though yon may complair with some jiistice that modern- Cairo it a poot. combination, of the Paris Boulevardi and fit.

"LA RAFALE."
Mile Brandes is bent on making ns regret her departure even more acutely than
circumstances had hitherto conduced. She quite surprised herself last night
in "La Rafale" and showed a freedom, an /lan, a rush
of passions, which in her previous productions she had 'kept rather in

all its details, and welds these details together so sublimely tb&t.

The rejecting of the .Colonial vote by the
Reichstag was due to the-coalition of Clericals and Socialists, especially the former, who are thus their revenge owing to the new
Colonial Secretary's attempt to put anend to their political intriguing. Prince von Bulow, in winding up the debate, declared that Germany's prestige was at. stake, and .that the . Government could not let parties and Parliament dictate as to the number of troops required in military operations.
A semi-official. statement published in a special edition of the '"Norddeutsche Zeitung" saya that Germany's success or failure in Dainara'and constitutes the test of her ability to beeome a world power.

FOLLOW BACKACHE & URINARY
TROUBLES
5, St. James Street, Daventry, England.
I hope that no one may ever have to go through what I have undergone these peat three ytiri with kidney disease. Il began with cruel pains in the- back, and bad urinary diaordrirs.
But these troubles were as nothing compared with what they led to ; one night, as I lay in bed, I was taken with violent pains in the loins. My gtoans and cries could be heard many houses off.'
The doctor .and my brother were at once sent for, and by the time they arrived I was in such fearful agony that I almost went out of my Sclnd, and I implored the doctor to put an end'to me.
The cause of this - agonising attack proved to be a gravebstotie, and during its passage the doctor Jourui it neceetary to inject morphia no leet than lOtir/tce -to'relieve my' suffering.
And even after that terrible, night, J still coutindeA*to'suffer before from the back
aches "and urinary disorders. Fortunately, .however. 1 now lieard of Doan'S Backache Kidney ^ills, and J made up my mind*to give them thorough trial.
The pills restored-a natural action to the kidney^ and I could soon tell the difference ; my bad! was stronger, my step more brisk, and I felt a better rnan in every way. There is nothing too good that I can say. of Doan's Pills. Doan's K idney Pills are for sale by all chemists and druggists at 13 P.T. per box. -

MINERAL RESOURCES
Besides the enormous agricultural possibilities of the oases, their mineral
resources will become important assets of the
concession as soon as the completion of the railway admits of transport at
reasonable rates. The investigations made by the Corporation of Western
Egypt are of a decidedly encouraging character, and a considerable ajnaunt
of systematic preliminary development work has already been carried out The
following a summary of the results arrived at Liowite.—Seam of lignite have
been passed through in most of tne bores both in the clays and the
sandstones. Deeper down, therefore, there is a possibility that there may be
workable beds of ilgnite and coal.
Ai.nv..—There are extensive ancient workings of alum in the oasis of Khargeh and considerable quantities of .aluminium sulphate have been discovered. The fullextent of these- beds has not as yet been ascertained. Up .to the end of last month 70 to 80 tons of crude aluminium sulphate have been extracted and a 20-ton sample is being prepared in order , to be sent to London in specially, constructed leaching and evaporating tanks. InJ)akhleh, also, alum deposits have Wen found in various parts. Here, too, some of the deposits have been worked in antiquity, but large quantities remain.
Cobalt.—A curious feature of the alums in these oases is that they in many cases contain salts of nickel and cobalt This alula contains cobelt sulphate up to one per cent, and it should prove of considerable value. This cobalt can be separated1 easily from the alum without injuring either product The market price of aluminium sulphate is from £4 to £4 10s. per ton,and with cobalt this value is proportionately increased. The world's production of Cobalt is ohly about two hundred tons annually.
Magnesium Sulphate.—There are several extensive and distinct deposits in the Khargeh Oasis. -Bulk samples are being'sent to London. One of the deposits, is being worked and a very pure' product results. The market value of pqre magneirtutn sulphate is £3 10s. per ton.
Pyrites .have been found in various parts and gold has been discovered in the pyrites.
OcHRfi.—The ochre, deposits are of great potential' value and both red and yellow ochre of excellent quality have been found. There is in all probability a great quantity of ochre,
and few of these deposits .have been worked yet/ a
Phosphates.—The phosphates will be of local value for manurial purposes, but it has not as yet been ascertained whether they can compete with those from other sources as regards export. When pulverised they will be of use locally as superphosphates for the large areas of land that are to be brought into cultivation.
Pottery Clays.—Some excellent pottery clays have been located near Khargeh town.

NOTES ET CRITIQUES
.
Le Caire, le 14 Décembre.
Le taux de l'escompte libre a Londres a été . éhré hier de 1/8 a 5 5/8 pour, cent. Au Stock Ezckingh, le Consolidé anglais a baissé de 1/8 a 86 5/8,. L'Unifiée a, par contre, Jiaussé de 1/4 a 102 1/4. La National.Bank a perdu 3.8» 28 3/8,l'Agricole t/8 a 9 3/4 et la Delta Light
. autant a 12 3/8.
A Paris, le Crédit Foncier Egyptien a rétrogradé de 2 francs a 783.. La Banque d'Athènes a avancé de 3 francs a 140.
Ici le marché des valeurs a débuté, ce matin, très faible. A un moment donné, une petite panique a été déterminée par des ruinears tendant a faire croire que toutes les Banques prendraient des mesures restrictives a l'instar de la National Bank of Egypt, qui, comme on le sait, a suspendu hier temporairement toute avance sur titres. Mais de meilleures dispositions n'ont pas tardé a prévaloir et, vers midi, une reprise chaleureuse a poussé là plupart dés cours a des prix supérieurs a ceux de la clôture d'hier.
Dans le compartiment des Banques, la National a débuté a 28 1/8 pour fléchir a 27 7/8 et clôturer a 28 1 /4JJ/16. L'Agricole a fini au même prix qu'hier après avoir été ramenée a 9 7/16,' La Cassa di Sconto a rétrogradé a 266 ot le Comptoir -Financier a 7 .1/4»
I/f'Behera a recule a 40 1/2-41, la Nile Land £17 3/8, l'Union Foncière a 6 5/16 et le Wardan Estate a 8. L'Enterprise and Development s'est alourdie a 1.3 5/8 sâ part a 22.
Les Entreprises Immobilières et Travaux ont été tenues aux abords de Ï0 ; leui* part a été négociée entre 102 et 105.
Les Allotmeuts ont faibli * a 3 7/8 et les Sucreries-a.74.
La Delta Li<>ht est revenue a 12 1/16 et les Automobiles a 5 11/163 4. Les Jouissances Eaux du Caire ont été échangées a 269-270.
Dans le groupe des valeurs hôtelières, les Nungovichet les Egyptian, très mouvementés, ont été «ramenés a 20 3/4 et 8 3/4 pour finir a 21 5/8et9 8/8^ Les Ùpper Egypt se sont tassés a 5 1/8-3/16 et les National a 3 15/16-4,
Parmi les petites valeurs, la . Delta Land, fortement attaquée au début, a baissé jusqu'à 4 13/32 pour clôturer a 4 11/16 acheteurs. Les Estâtes ont fléchi a 2 11/32 pour Remonter a 2 7/16-1/2 ; leur part,- offerte a àô'moment donné a 17, a fini a 18 3/4. Les Constructions ont faibli a 1 11/163/4, les Abdy à 1 3/6fyl6 et lm Cottoto Mills a 6 sb. :
La question du découvert pji du prétendu découvert existant sur les actions de !> Société d'Enteeprises Immobilières et dp Travaux Coq- tinue i donner de la tablature au Comité de l'honorable Corporation des Agents de change du Caire.
L'enquête ordonnée par le Président de cette Corporation ."a la demande de plusieurs Agents de Change' aurait abouti, rapporte-t-on en ville,.a un résultat absolument renversant. Il ressortirait, parattçil, des situations fournies par la "presque totalité" des membres de la Corporation, çurdes opération* faites par louis maisons respective*, que. le nombre des actions déposées dans lea Banques ou,ailleurç, s'élèverait, a no'n moins de 29,000.
Nous disons vingt-neuf'mjlle,-chiffre éloquent ,'il en fût, car il ne faut
pas perdre de vue que le-nombre total des actions émises par la , Société,
d'Entreprisex I mmohilièreé et de Tra- vaux est strictement de 25,000, On^se
trouverait des lots en présence d'un surcroît inéx- pliquable die 4,000' actions, dû à un miracle dans le genre dé
celui de la imiltiplicatioii dès' pains- et des . poissons de l'Evangile, ou
'bien encore en présence de la' fabrication illicite de 4,000 actions
supplémentaires, acte qui tomberait directement sous le coup de, nous ne
savons.quel article du Code criminel. C'est k ftém.r rfon'qus d'y penser !
/
Mais soyons sérieux et laissons de côté les incohérences. On confond* intentionnellement "vitesse" avec "précipitation." c'est^-dire opé- raUon au comptant avec opération à terme.
Im opérations su comptant ne peuvent porter que sur les 25,000 actions existantes. Peu importe entre les mains de qui eex 25 000 aetions.se trouvent.
Passons maintenant aux opérations à terme. En Bourse, en fait des opérations a terme et même des opérations très importantes.
Dirons, en passant, que les opérations à terme faites journellement en Bourse
eu actions Natibhal Bank, Agnesltural Bwk,
Crédit Foncier Egyptien, Dafra, Baeblsr, Eu
/treprises IqomoInlières.et'Traraux, Nuegoyicb,
Delta Land, Estâtes, portent sur un chiffre d'actions très important et, souvent, sur un chiffre bien plus grand que. les opérations au comptant. .
Ces opérations a terme sont régies par les 8tatuts.de la Corporation des Agents de Change du Caire et notamment par l'article 34, qui établit clairement leur mode d'application.

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.

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.

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.
