Much speculation has been indulged in of late in Khartoum, as to the exact site of the future central railway station which will be erected after the new bridge shall have been completed. According to the origiual plans this station was to be to the South-West of the town, but as these plans are subject to various modifications nothing can be certain as to the exact site. One thing seems to be certain and that is that for the new station a very large area will be railed in.
A question of some interest to the members of the English Bar practising in Egypt is dealt with in the Bar Council's annual report. The Council ruled during the past year that a member of the English Bar, who is also a member of a legal firm in a Colony in which there is no distinction between barristers and solicitors, ought not to practise as an English barrister while he remains a member of the Colonial firm. Although Colonies are only attended to in this ruling of the Council, it is to be presumed that it would also apply to barristers practising in Egypt and the Dominions of the Sublime Ottoman Porte
Sheikh Mohamed Shaker, President of the Ulema Board of Alexandria, has published his report for last year respecting the theological school under his directorship. The report contains full details of the religious studies and the latest arrangements adopted by the Ulema Board for improving the schools in question. The number of the students of those schools was 576 up to the end of last year. 531 of the number offered themselves for the annual examination in which 429 students were successful. Sheikh Shaker refers to the prosperity of the Ulema Board Schools being due to the valuable assistance and encouragement given by the Khedive. He asks the Mohamedans of Egypt not to disdain but to support their religious education which they should consider as the basis of enlightment and prosperity, and which would enable them as a nation to vie with the civilised world

In the leading article of to-day's "Daily Telegraph" referring to Lord Cromer's remarks anent the entente cordiale, the writer says that from the date of the signing of the Anglo- French convention Sultan Abdul Hamid has worked through Mussulman agencies to create what is called the "national movement" in Egypt. He has had one warning of the daugers of this course and he may yet require another. It may be that nothing short of the appearance of a British fleet under the park walls of Yildiz will ever convince him of the fatal folly of interfering with our position in Egypt.
The National Bank of Egypt has come to an agreement with the Egyptian Government and the Caisse de la Dette, whereby the receipts from the land tax and other sources of revenue hypothecated to the Caisse de la Dette will be henceforward paid to the local agents of the National Bank. As these sums are paid in, the National Bank at Alexandria will pass that amount to the Credit Lyonnais at Alexandria to the Credit of the Caisse de la Dette. This new arrangement will have an important result, for it will cause the money to circulate much more rapidly than has hitherto been practicable during the busy cotton season, and should be of material assistance in helping to put an end to one of the chief causes of the locking up of gold, such as was experienced during the acute money famine, which raged with such intensity and caused so much inconvenience throughout the whole country during the past autumn.
At present the branches of the National Bank throughout the provinces are constant buyers of cheque on Alexandria of the agents of the big cotton buyers here. To provide funds for that, the branch of the National Bank at Alexandria has to send specie to its provincial agencies. Under the system recently inaugurated, by receiving this money from the Caisse de la Dette, there will be no longer any necessity, to send up so much specie to the provincial çentres, and this same money will perform the double transaction.
The following report will be presented to the seventh ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the National Bank of Egypt, which is to be held in Cairo on the 11th inst.
The directors of the Narional Bank of Egypt submit to the shareholders the annexed balance sheet and profit and loss account for the year ending the 31st December, 1906.
Each share will thus be entitled to 18/-, equivalent to 9 per cent on the Capital.

Yesterday morning H.R.H. the Duke of Connaught reviewed the troops of the Cairo British garrison on the parade ground at Abbassieh. Half past ten was the time fixed for the review and some time before that hour the Abbassieh road was crowded with people anxious to witness the parade. A postponement of half an hour had been made, however, and at eleven o'clock the Duchess of Connaught and Princess Patricia arrived, being accompanied by Lewa Watson Pasha, and escorted by a bodyguard of Inniskilling Dragoons. On their arrival the National Anthem was played by the massed bands.
Less than a quarter of an hour later the Duke of Connaught arrived on the scene, the troops coming to "Present," and the bands again playing "God Save the King."
When his Royal Highness had taken up his position at the saluting point, the parade marched past in the following order: – Major General Bullock and Staff, "U" Battery Royal Horse Artillery, 6th Inniskilling Dragoons (3 Squadrons), Mounted Infantry, Royal Engineers, 3rd Bn. Coldstream Guard (8 companies), 2nd Bn. Inniskilling Fusiliers (7 companies), 1st Bn. King's Own Scottish Borderers. The Infantry Brigade under the Command of Col. Grenville Smith (Coldstream Guards) marched past in quarter column and again in line of quarter column. The Royal Horse Artillery gallopped past in splendid line, followed by the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons at the "charge." The Parade then reformed in extended line and advanced to within 30 yards and saluted, while the massed bands under Bandmaster Watson Ramsey, Inniskilling Fusiliers, played the National Anthem.
H.H. the Khedive received Miralai Matchett Bey in audience at Abdin Palace yesterday morning.

As I wired you this morning the bunkering Arabs have come out on strike in sympathy with the coal-discharging men who left work without notice on Thursday night. Throughout yesterday things were looking black, the Arabs taking from 1 to 4 hours to get from the Arab town to the ship, and when they did arrive they were very slow in getting to work. Late last night they refused to work, and there have been some 12 or 15 ships whose crews have had to set to and coal for themselves.
It is reported that the sheikhs are having a much trouble as well as the "blacklegs,''and last night the mounted police had to be called out to keep order in the Arab town.
Everything in the European quarter is quiet and the police are ready to deal with any disturbances which may arrive.
Colliers continue to arrive and the discharging basin is now full. Four vessels with a total tonnage of over 21,000 tons have arrived within the last two days.
I understand that the owners are trying to engage labour from Cyprus, but that nothing has yet been fixed.

For many years past classical chronologists have been at loggerheads about the exact date of the decisive battle of Chrysopolis (now Scutari) wherein Constantine the Great defeated Licini s, the master of the East and thus became sole ruler of the Empire. Some fragments of Greek papyri recently discovered at Theadelphia near the Fayoum, and brought to the Cairo Museum, have been found to fix the date of the battle at 324 of our era.
M Cledac, the partner of M. Clermont-Ganneau, in the excavation now proceeding at Assouan, has discovered the site of the Necropolis of the rams of Khnoum, the god of Elephantine. Fifteen of these gods have been brought to light and the greater number are in good preservation. The mummies have unfortunately very few inscriptions on them.
The inscriptions of the Greek and Roman eras discovered in Egypt, and published during 1906 have been very few. Four come from the Fayoum, one from Mahemdiat, and one from Tehneh. Three of the Fayoum ones, however, are legal documents engrossed upon wax preserved in Roman writing tablets and are of much importance for the theory of Roman law. Three of the Roman Governors or Prefects are mentioned in the various new texts, T. Hateritis Nepos Q Corvius Flaccus, and M. Petronius Honoratus.
WORK AT THEBES.
Mr. James Dennis, of Baltimore, an associate director of the work of excavation in Egypt conducted by the Egyptian Exploration Fund, has sent a letter to those interested in the work in Baltimore, under date of the 15th ulto. from Luxor, setting forth what has recently been accomplished. In the course of it he says :
"The work of the expedition this year has been confined chiefly to opening the shaft found last year that was presumed to lead into the tomb of King Mentu-Hotep, Ra Neb Hapet, of the eleventh dynasty (about 2700 B.C.), and to clearing the western court of the temple built by that king at Der el Bahri, on the west bank of the Nile, in old Thebes.
The opening and clearing of this shaft have now been completed. The shaft itself consisted of a long, inclined passage way, cut through the solid rock, extending for nearly six hundred feet into the cliffs surrounding Dier el Bahri. For about one-third of the way the shaft is roofed by cyclopean blocks of sandstone, meeting in an arch at the top. Beyond this shaft is a chamber about twenty feet long, at the end of which a flight of shallow steps leads to the tomb chamber, the entrance to which is faced with large granite blocks.
The roof of the tomb chamber, which is about sixteen feet high and twelve or fourteen feet square, consists of large slabs of granite, meeting in a point at the top, and not curved, as in the shaft. Three fourths of this chamber is occupied by a great shrine, in which the sarcophagus containing the body was placed. This shrine is built entirely of large blocks of alabaster, except the roof, which consists of a granite monolith overlaid with alabaster ; the inner sides are pierced with numerous holes, to contain pegs for holding the coffin lid, and its exterior is modelled after the style of a temple pylon. In front of this shrine was a large quantity of mummy cloth, mixed with which we found the bones of the king, some portions of the skull, jawbone and the larger leg and arm bones ; the rest had crumbled to dust ages ago.
Besides these fragments of the body of King Mentu-Hotep we found a large number of models of sacred boats, wooden statuettes, figures of persons engaged in various occupations, many war bows and arrows, the latter being of a type hitherto unknown in Egypt ; two large heads in wood that formed the covers for canopic jars and one of the gilded sandals of the king, part of a gilded sceptre, several parts of chairs and thrones, and many other fragments too badly injured by their forty-six centuries of interment to be valuable.
The greatest interest connected with this discovery lies in the fact that the temple and tomb of Mentu-Hotep are older by about a thousand years than any monument heretofore found on the site of ancient Thebes, while the finding of a royal body in its tomb, though not unprecedented has occurred only three times in the history of Egyptian exploration. The temple itself is unique in its architecture, and represents a transition period between the pyramid type of interment and that practised in later times.
Many statues of the King have been found lately in front of the temple, and within a week we have found the remains of a finely paiuted shrine of Rameses the Great, showing that from about 2700 BC. to 1200 B.C. the temple was known and revered as the last resting place of the greatest that Egypt has ever had.

The Moss Liner Moeris Captain F. Dunnett), arrived from Glasgow, reports the following incident:–
On the morning of the 17th March, off Cape Finisterre, she came up with the Italian steamer Industria, (980 Tons, of Genoa) in a sinking condition, bound from Falmouth to Buenos Ayres with a cargo of iron and coal.
Some of her crew had already left and were observed clinging to the bottom of a capsized boat. A south-westerly gale was blowing at the time and the Moeris promptly lowered one of her boats, which, in charge of the chief officer, Mr. J. James, first rescued the men from the overturned boat and then approached the sinking steamer, those who remained aboard having to jump into the sea and be picked up by the salvors. Four men refused to leave and were seen to go down with the unfortunate vessel, which broke in half immediately afterwards. Fourteen men were saved, including the English captain and chief engineer, and were landed at Gibraltar
Great credit is due to Captain Dunnett, officers and men for a smart rescue under very difficult and risky conditions.

La Délégation ajourne pour étude, le projet présenté par la société des entreprises urbaines et rurales pour la confection de la route de la corniche.
La Délégation, vu les offres présentées pour la fourniture des articles de droguerie, de désinfection et autres nécessaires à la Municipalité pendant 3 années, décide de répartir cette fourniture entre les différents soumissionnaires, suivant les indications données par l'Inspecteur sanitaire, et d'après les offres les plus basses. Certains de ces articles seront achetés au fur et à mesure des besoins, librement par les services, en raison des prix élevés offerts par les soumissionnaires. Il sera de même pour les articles pour lesquels aucune offre n'a été présentée.
La Délégation adjuge à M Miard, représentant la Val de Travers Asphalte Paving Co. les travaux d'asphaltage de la partie de rue située devant le palais municipal, au prix de P.T 92 le m c., à la condition que cet entrepreneur accepte la clause de la responsabilité en cas d'affaissement naturel du sous sol.

Les dalles retirées de cette rue serviront à la continuation de l'exécution du dallage des diverses rues d'après le programme déjà arrêté par la Délégation.
La Délégation regrette de ne pouvoir donner suité à une demande de la Cie des téléphones tendant à la location d'une parcelle de terrain sur les quais pour y établir un dépôt.

Sur la proposition de l'Administration des Douanes, la Délégation décide de déclasser la rue Ramsès, qui entrera dans la zone de la Douane ; une ligne de chemin de fer sera établie dans cette rue. Il est bien en entendu que l'Administration des Douanes aura à rembourser à la Municipalité les frais déboursés par la Municipalité pour la confection de cette rue.
La Délégation renvoie au Comité des travaux publics une demande présentée par le Directeur de l'Abattoir pourr divers achats et aménagements à faire dans cet établissement.
Elle émet un avis favorable à une proposition de l'Inspecteur sanitaire tendant à l'élaboration d'un règlement relatif à la vaccination obligatoire des personnes débarquant à Alexandrie et renvoie cette proposition à l'étude du Comité du Contentieux.
