WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 1907.
In their wildest dreams, shipowners have never looked forward to a toll-free Suez Canal They have at various intervals pressed for and obtained reductions of the transit dues but it has been reserved for Mr. Asquith, in his speech to the Colonial Premiers to promise co-operation with any practical proposals for "removing or reducing" the Canal Company's charges. That the Imperial Government should even so much as hint at the possibility of abolition is one of the ironies of the situation. Only lost March there was published a correspondence between it and the Governor-General uf Australia (Lord Northcote), in which Colonial request for assistance in securing a further reduction'of the Canal dues was oold shouldered, with the joint approbation of the Colonial Office, the Foreign Office, and the Treasury.
Lord Elgin was sympathetic - on paper— but thought "nothing would be gained by an attempt to pursue the object without due regard to the interests of those who have a purely financial concern in the undertaking." The sentence gives the key to the position The Suez Canal is the property of a company, in which French shareholders predominate Great Britain must therefore act circumspectly, notwithstanding the unique influence she possesses* as a result of Lord Beaconsfield's master-stroke in purchasing the Khedive's shares in 1875. Great Britain is represented on the administration of the Suez Canal by three Government directors - Sir Henry Austin Lee, Sir John Ardagh, and Mr. H. T. Anstru- ther. They advised the present Government, after Lord Northcote's letter had been referred to them for consideration,. that although the Suez Canal does pay a dividend of 28 per cent, the profits are not exhorbitant, in view of the history and circumstances of the company, and the fact that the shareholders are called upon to make considerable sacrifices for the widening and deepening of the Canal, which they could not be expected to continue if the does were further cut down To put the matter briefly, the British Government could not, if it would, coerce the Suez Canal administration into a disregard of the fair claims of its shareholders. Any attempt to do so would evoke the open hostility of France, which, it may be assumed, has not acquiesced in our present supremacy in Egyp- without some guarantee for the due protection of the great waterway, which the world owes t<- the "Grand Fraiirais," and in which French investors are so deeply concerned. Therefore, the "removal'' of the Suez Canal dues as a whole is out of the question, for a Chancellor of the Exchequer who wants to lay the foundations ol old-age pensions is not going to embark on so colossal and impossible an enter prise as the buying out of French interests What, then, as to the reduction of the Canal dues I The simple fact is that these have, since Jan. 1, 1906, stood at the lowest point on record—namely, 7f 85c per tou. They liave dropped to this point from the 9f 50c charge 1 in 1892, and from the 12f or 13f levied in the earlier years of the concession. It is true that British shipowners claim that the reduction should have proceeded even more rapidly, under an agreement or understanding with M. le Lesseps, but they have hitherto been unable to induce any British Government to acquiesce in that contention and press it home.
On the other hand, the outstanding fact in the history of the Suez Canal is that, if French capital built it, it is British shipping which has made it a financial success. Here are figures showing the net tonnage of British and foreign shipping passing through the waterway in the year 1905, ami the percentage to the total -
Suez Casal Traffic, 1905.
Net Tons. Percentage
British ................ 8,356,940................ 636
Foreign .............. 4,777,165................ 364
Total............ 13,134,405
The figures are by no means those of an exceptional year. As a matter of fact, they do
not quite fairly represent the commercial position, because if warships, transports, and Government chartered vessels are left out of account, and consideration is given to merchant vessels and vessels in ballast alone, the British flag stands for nearly 76 per cent of the total tonnage of that class. There is striking proof here, not only of the commanding positiou of our mercantile marine, tut of the fact that the Suez Canal is the great highway to and from our vast possessions in the East and in Australasia. This artificial waterway of ninety- nine miles in length through tho sands of the desert is the connecting link of the British Empire, and for that reason it is a legitimate aspiration to desire that it should be as free as the Atlantic to the Empire's shipping. Then arises the question whether Mr. Asquith, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, is ready and willing to assign towards the realisation of this object the revenue which the country derives from its Suez Canal shares. A further question is as to how far that revenue would go in the desired direction. Here we come to figures which show the shrewdness of Lord Beaconsfield's investment. It is estimated that the whole cost to this country of its Suez Canal shares, with interest at 3$ percent, per annum, had been repaid by the dividends reoeived before the end of 1899. Since that date the country has received in further dividendaa sum of between £6,000,000 and £7,000,000, and may expect to go on drawing considerably over £1,000,000 a year for something which now stands in the nation's books as having cost it nothing. It is fair to suppose that Lord Beaconsfield's object was less to make a good business bargain for the country than to secure a share in the control of the Suez Canal. Shipowners, at all events, argue that it is not right for the country to go on pocketing profits at this rate, and to do nothing for British shipping, when two-thirds of those profits arise from dues paid by British ship-owners. There is something in that contention—more, possibly, than in the Argument that steamers in the Australian trade which now go by way of the Cape would all use the Suez route if the dues were lower. Notwithstanding, there can be no qoarrel with the principle of the Colonial demand that, in the interests of inter-imperial trade and immigration, the shortest route to and from Australia should be as far as possible cheapened. If the propriety of stimulating inter-imperial trade by removing or reducing the canal dues at length appeals to the Government, how is Mr. Asquith placed ? He has a million and rather more of Suez Canal income, bnt, on the assumption that British shipping contributed in proportion to its tonnage to the £4.500,000 which roughly represented the transit receipts of the Canal Company in 1905, he would need * a total ot close on £3,000,000 a year in order to free British shipping. In other words, he- would have to find nearly £2,000,000 from other sources than Suez Canal profits. This, however, would be on the assumption that every ship with a British register was entitled to a rehate representing the amount paid for canal dues, whether she was trading between British ports or not But as the object aimed at is the encouragement of inter-imperial trade, it would probably be essential to discriminate, and to say that if a British ship is bound, say, from London to Japan, she shall not be reimbursed her canal dues, but that if she is bound from London to Melbourne, Calcutta, or Singapoie she shall get her canal dues refunded. Possibly by some such prooess of discrimination the British Government's share of Suez Canal revenue could be so eked out as to accomplish a great deal, but the thing would be fraught with the gravest difficulty and complexity. A British steamer, for instance, loads cargo for a British possession in th9 East, partly at home and partly at a Continental port. She would presumably be denied the right to a rebate representing her canal lues, because she is not wholly engaged in inter-imperial trading. Equally, if she shipped a cargo in Australia, and discharged some of it at Mediterranean ports and the bulk in London, she might be disqualified. What with the trouble of proving to official satisfaction that the ship's voyage was wholly inter-imperial and the formality of recovering from the Government in London the rebate equiv- ilent to free passage through the canal, the scheme seems cumbersome to a degree. By omparison, indeed, the Colonial proposal to ^ive a preference to British goods actually landed in the Colonial port seems simplicity itself. It was easy for Russia to pay the Suez Canal lues for the ships of her volunteer fleet, which were neither merchantmen nor men-of-war. i'heir tonnage was, however, relatively so small that the experiment can hardly be said to count. But Mr. Asquith, apparently without lue consideration, has given his approval to a programme which is positively staggering It is doubtful whether he can have reflected that directly he took steps to make the Suez Canal toll-free for oar shipping, or a section of it, our maritime competitors would at once do the same. In their case the task would be relatively easy. German shipping comes next to our own among the users of this international waterway, but it equals only a quarter of the British total, and could thus be freed altogether for a trifle of £750,000 a year provided by the German Government. Whetlier, when Mr. Asquith spoke of co-operation in a practical proposal for "removing or reducing" Suez Canal dues, he had doubts whether such a thing would ever be forth-coming, it is useless to discuss. But the irresistible conclusion is that the freeing of the canal is out. of the question till the concession expires many years lienee, and that the further reduction of dues is mainly, if not solely, possible by those methods which in the past have certainly not been wholly wanting in success.As an alternative to Colonial prefer- , ence, at all events, Mr. Asquith's scheme ia worthless.

Lord Cromer called at the Foreign Office yesterday and was warmly greeted by Sir Edwayd Grey with whom he discussed the situation in Egypt.
Fx>rd Cromer will remain in Ixmdon for a time and his expert advice will lie available, should the state of Egyptian affairs necessitate further consultation with him.
As previously announced, Sir Eldon Gorst will be officially received as his Brittannic Majesty's Diplomatic-Agent and Consul-General at Ras el Tin palace to morrow morning. Sir Eldon and his suite leave Cairo this afternoon for Alexandria, where they will stay at the Savoy Palace Hotel.

On a signal from the palace a salute will lie fired by the Artillery.
The following is the text of the reply of Lord Cromer received by Mr. Robert J. Moss, President of thi* Alexandria Coal Association, to their address :—
I have received with great pleasure tho address which you have been good enough to forward to me on behalf of the Alexandria Coal Association. I shall be indebted to you if you will convey to the members of this valuable international body the expression of my sincere thanks for their kind wishes for the restoration of my health, and tho assurance of the pleasure with which 1 shall hear of the continued success and prosperity of the Association.
The Superior Council of the Egyptian State Railways, at its meeting held on Monday, under the presidenee of Mustaplia Pasha Fehmy, decided to place on pension aliout 70 employes whose services are no longer required, and also voted the necessary credit for the repairs of various stations. The question of re turn tickets was also considered and the general manager was requested to formulate a plan by which they could be issued.
The report of the commission of the Caisse de la Dette for 1906 shows that the guaranteed borrowed capital remaining to mortgage amounted on the 31st December, 1905, to £7,849,500. On the 31st December, 1906, the capital of t he privileged debt was £31,127,780. On tho same date the capital of the unified debt was £55,971,960. The balance sheet shows a credit balance of L E. 48,959, of which L.E. 448 have been handed to the Ministry of Finance.
The Greek Chamber of Commerce, Alexandria, has just published its report for the pas't year. Imports from Greece last year amounted to L.E. 321,793 as compared with L.E. 121,467 in 1900, and L.E. 85,858 in 1896. Tobacco chiefly accounts for these large and steady rises, the increase in the past six years in that import being from L.E. 71,716 to L.E. 214,968. The import of Greek wines has similarly increased from L.E. 5,502 in 1900 to L.E 22,867 in 19<i6; oils from L.E. 2,226 to L.E. 10,247 : brandy from L E. 3,233 to L.E. 1.1,347 ; fruits from L E. 5,581 to L.E. 10,509; soap from L.E. 3,863 to L E. 6,946. During the lust ten years the number of Greek steamers trading in Egyptian ports has increased from 22, with a total tonnage of 22,119, to 253, with a total tonnage of 194,293.

In Monday's issue we reproduced a letter from the "Times," written by Mr. Fox Bourne, the Secretary of the Aborigines Society, who stated "that the main body of Egyptian reformers, whose principal organs are "El Moayad" and "El Minbar," are nut in harmony with the reckless policy of Mustaplia Kamel Pasha and his followers, whose organs are "El Lewa" and its English and French reproductions, the "Egyptian Standard" and the "Etendard Egyptien "
This assertion has deeply pained the organs of Mustaplia Pasha Kamel.
The "Egyptian Standard" remarks :—
"Frankly we did not expect such a peculiar attack from the quarter which it comes from Mr. Fox-Bourne isthe author of "Lord Cromer's Supremacy" and other similar pamphlets in tending to show by the simple force of reading data in Parliament and in printed books that Lord Cromer had introduced an autocratic form of government not in agreement with either English or Egyptian interests. Mr. I'ox- Bourne spoke from dry paper lore He had no experience in Egyptian matters and this unconscious want was felt in every one of his pamphlets. The same inexperience is visible in his letter to the "Times." It can hardly be an exaggeration for us to state that, beyond the names of the two Arabic papers he cites, Mr Fox Bourne knows next to nothing connected with them.
"This, in itself would be excusable, as is all ignorance. But what we have to refute with all our energies, is that thereis a "split" among the Egyptian Nationals, or that there are Nationals parties. Such discussions do not, exist How is it possible 1 Can one nation prodace two nationalities? Can one oppressed nation produce two or three National parties, each struggling for a liberty which is not the same liberty ?
"Mr. Fox Bourne ought to recognize the truth of the above statement. Perhaps he does, hut it is not his wish to reveal it.
Confirmation has been received from Constantinople, of ihe defeat of Turkish troops in the Yemen during an engagement with rebels.

The following particulars of the Egyptian trade in watches and clocks are taken from the "Bulletin" of the French Chamber of Commerce at Alexandria :—Exporters to Egypt should hear in mind that .there are three distinct classes of clients to be dealt with in that country—the European colony, the Arabs with a veneer of European habits, and tastes, and the vast mass of the natives untouched by Occidental influences, anil numbering ten times as many as the first two classes combined. Each of these categories must be served according to its tastes. The natives it. general, and more especially the lower orders, have quite a mania for watches, take a delight in studying their mechanism and in many cases buy a fresh one nearly every year. Under these circumstances it is only natural that Egypt should be considered a good market by makers of various nationalities, and that numerous kinds of watches should be on sale. In large towns such as Alexandria and Cairo several well-equipped jewellers' and wutchmakers' shops are established, some being branch houses of European firms ; these are visited yearly by large numbers of commercial travellers, who are prepared to make all possible concessions and stretch the limits of credit to the utmost degree with a view to securing orders. In addition to these large establishments a considerable number of native watchmakers, trading on a small scale, arc to be found in all Egyptian towns, in many villages, and even in the remote districts of the Sudan. These are largely supplied by commission agents, although a certain number ileal direct with wholesale houses. Men's watches arc considerably more in demand than those for ladies, gold and silver watches being in demand for both categories, while in the former, -nickel and gun-metal watches are even more largely sold. As regards clocks, wooden regulators of all sizes and round nickel alarms find the largest sale ; ornamental mantelpiece clocks are practically unknown. Switzerland has by far the greatest share of the trade in cheap watches, and, moreover, sends a certain number of better-class go-xls of special makes. Germany predominates in the clock trade, furnishing an enormous number of regulator and alarm clocks at exceedingly low prices.

Tho Finance Ministry has appointed Borton Bey, Assistant Postmaster General, as successor to Saba Pasha i7i the Post Master Generalship. He will enter on his new duties as Post Master General as soon as Saba Pasha quits the service of the Egyptian Government after the expiration of his leave on 15th September.
Borton Bey was bom in 1870. He was educated at Bedford School, and then entered Sandhurst. He obtained u commission in the Welsh Regiment in 1890 and entered the Egyptian Army in 1897. He served in the Nile Expedition and after the fall of Omdnr- man was specially promoted to the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and specially mentioned in despatches. He was then sent by Lord Kitchener to Dongola as one of the first Anglo-Sitdane.se civil officials in that part of the Sudan. He was in charge of the Dongola province for some time and then went to Khartoum in order to form a Prisons Administration for the Sudan. After that he was appointed Governor of Suakin in succession to Miralai Playfair Bey.
He was .subsequently appointed commandant of the Upi>er Nile district. From that post he was nominated director of the Custom Administration in the Sudan In 1904 he came to Alexandria in order to study the customs system of Egypt. His Sudan official career was, however, interrupted by his being offered the post of Assistant Postmaster General, which he accepted. Borton Bey has resided at Alexandria since that date. His appointment as successor to Saba Pasha will be very generally appreciated as he has made himself very popular since his residence ut Alexandria.

To the Editor of the Egyptian Gazette
Sir,—We have the honour, sir, to beg you to publish the following few lines in your valuable paper :— On reading the examination of mathematics that was set to the subordinate certificate students we have seen in too difficult, especially in algebra and geometry. Article No 8 in the ''Official Journal" states that taking cipher in a subject or in a branch of it will lie a cause to his failure in all the rest of the examinations. We were present, on that day when all the pupils went out of the examination. We have seen that at least 80% of the pupils did not solve exercises of geometry and algebra thoroughly well. We think, sir that no one of all the students had solved the three, or two exercises of geometry.
Therefore, we beg you, sir, to add your voice to ours in order that the Ministry might l>e easy in correcting the niathemetic papers.
We are, Sir,
Your obedient servants.

The "Standard" publishes the text of the remarkable first will made by the late Cecil Rhodes, and recently referred to by Earl Grey in a speech at New York. The will is dated September 19, 1877, when Mr. Rhodes was only 23 years old, and was, in the words of Earl Grey, "trekking over the boundless plateaus of South Africa and sleeping tinder the stars." In this will, Mr. Rhodes bequeathed everything he had to trustees, who instructed to apply his estate towards the establishment of the following objects :—
"The extension of British rule throughout the world, the perfecting of a system of emigration from the United Kingdom, and of colonisation, by British subjects, of all lands wherein the means of livelihood arc attainable by energy, labour, and enterprise, and especially the occupation by British settlors of the entire Continent of Africa, the Holy I*and, the valley of the Euphrates, the islands of Cyprus and Candiii, the whole of South America, the islands of the Pacific not heretofore possessed by Great Britain, the whole of the Malay Archipelago, the seaboard of China and Japan, the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an integral part of the British Empire, the consolidation of the whole Empire, the inauguration of a system of Colonial representation in the Imperial Parliament, which muy tend to weld together the disjointed members of the Empire, and, finally, the foundation of so great a power ns to hereafter render wars impossible and promote the best interests of humanity."
Port Sudan is the new name given to an inlet on the west coast of the Red Sea, formerly known as Sheikh Bargout, 700 miles south of Suez and 35 miles north of Suakin. There is a break in the dangerous coral reefs which fringe this coast, and a straight channel with deep water gives an easy access to the mouth of the harbour. The mouth lies at a slight angle to the general trend of the coast, so that the reefs outside form a shelter from the heavy seas brought in by southerly and easterly winds. The entry is about 500 yards wide, and this breadth continues for nearly a mile. Then the inlet expands into a basin on the south side, which is some 900 yards long by 500 yards broad, having a minimum depth of 6 fathoms Beyond this, the channel runs up into the land for a distance of about 2 miles. There is another basin on the north side about 1 $ miles up, and a third at the end of the inlet. For 1 mile after leaving the first basin the water has a -minimum depth of 9 fathoms with an average width of 200 yards. The minimum depth the whole way up is 2j fathoms. ..The narrowest part of the iidet is aliout 70 yards. The shores rise to a height of from G to 14 feet abo>e sea level, and are composed of coral. The hot flat plain around is devoid of vegetation except for stunted mimosa thorns. A line of hills rises 10 miles to the west, running parallel to the coast
These are the natural features of the Sudan in which it was decided three years ago to construct the terminus of the Sudan railways Work was begun less than two years ago, and the transformation which has been effected in this dreary wilderness iB extraordinary.
The Sanguineb lighthouse, 16 miles out to sea, marks the passage through the outer reefs, while the nearer approach is shown by pointers (1 HO feet high) and beacons. The railway terminus and custom-house have been placed on the northern side of the inlet, and quays are in process of construction along this side. It is expected that berths for two ships will be ready by the autumn of 1907. When completed the quay will he over lj miles long with accommodation for 12 or 14 ships. Electric travelling cranes and coal-hoists are being constructed. Pour fine customs sheds are already in use. The railway at present has to make a long detour to go round the head of the inlet, but a bridge is being built which will be available for every kind of traffic and thus unite the two parts of the port. It will open so as to afford nccess to the upper waters of the inlet, where a dock with the necessary shops have already l)een commenced.
The present terminus of the railway, conjoined as it is with the custom-house ard the quays, will jeinain the goods station. The passenger station will he placed, as soon as the bridge is finished, on the south side of the water, that is to say to the west of the town.
On the south side of the inj^t coining from the sea an infectious diseases hospital and a quarantine station have been constructed. The basin mentioned above cuts these off most effectually from the town which lies between this basin and the spot selected for the station, having a wn£er frontage of almost a mile. In this space broad streets have been laid out at right angles. Some of the Government buildings are already nearly completed. For the rest, pending an arrangement of the land question, to which I shall refer later on, the town is at present composed of temporary wooden buildings, occupied by a population of about 5,000. Water is laid on from wells to houses belonging to Government and also to a series of hydrants in case a fire should break out, a grave danger, increased by every factor: a hot climate, wooden houses, inflammable goods, prevalent wind and indifferent oil lamps.
A scheme is ih hand for bringing water from a reservoir which is to be constructed in the hills, some 25 miles away. At present the inhabitants fetch their water from the wells by donkeys Good drinking water has to be brought from a distance of about 7 miles.
A branch of the Gordon College has leen built, and u civil hospital is in course of construction.
The climate is essentially bad and unsuited to Europeans. The malarial mosquito has not yet made its apj>oarance, but there are fears lest it should he conveyed from the Nile valle) by the railway. Simple fever is common -. it generally assumes a violent form and leaves the patient extremely depressed and enfeebled. Cases of sunstroke are particularly frequent The inconveniences of extreme heat such ns might be expected in the Red Sea, are enhanced by extreme damp. During the summer months, especially July, August and September, even night brings no relief, the temperature remaining practically unchanged, so that sleep is almost impossible. The "cold weather" in this region is merely a relative term. No European should stay there without a good yearly leave, and it appears undesirable that he should remain during two consecutive summers.
It is possible, however, that in time a sanatorium will be formed in the hills behind Suakin. There the conditions are totally different A reasonable temperature is ensured by the altitude, and a dry bracing desert air replaces the depressing, relaxing damp of the coast. It is probable that in no part of the Sudan, and in a few parts even of Egypt, is the climate better and more agreeable than in the Hadendowa Hills.
It is impossible to write of Fort Sudan without making constant references to, and comparisons with, Suakin. The main reasons for which the railway terminus was transformed to the former poyt is She vastly greater safety of its sea approach, and the superiority of its harbour accomodation.
The future of Fort Sudan depends entirely on its importance as a port of entry and a forwarding station. For these purposes it has already superseded Suakin, hut the old town will die linrJ, if it die at all. The pilgrim traffic to Jeddah will always pass through it—this year the number of pilgrims expected is about 8,000, and as a native centre it is likely to muintaiu its position. The lower classes come over to Fort Sudan to work, but they return to Suakin to spend their earnings. There area number of families—merchants, sheikhs, who have lived for generations in Suakin, and there they will remain. The merchants are sending their Rons, however, to Port Sudan, to start a branch of their business there. Next, the quantity of cotton which is grown at Tokar is considerable, and is increasing. Last year 60,000 can tars or unginned cotton were produced, and this year over 80,000 cantars are expected. This cotton is sent down toTrinkitat, whence it is carried by boat to Suakin. The cotton which is grown at Kassala is also, at present, sent down to Suakiu by caravan. A ginning factory was recently established, but proved a failure. The cotton ib exported from Suakin to Egypt and is mixed with the Egyptian produce.
It is, however, not impossible that with the future development of the country, Suakin may become a cotton centre of some importance. It is also, at present, the seat of a trade in cattle with Erithrea, Abyssinia and the adjacent districts, though this traffic has been subject to great hindrance lately owing to the prevalence of cattle plague.
Senna also reaches Suakin by caravan.

An extraordinary general meeting of the Nile Valley (New) Company, Limited, was hold on the 6th inst. at Winchester House, Old Broad Street, E.C., to consider resolutions for increasing the capital to £262,500 by the creation of 250,000 additional shares of Is each Mr. R J. Price, M.P., (chairman of the company), presided. Tho Secretary (Mr. C. F. Palmer) read the notice convening the meeting. The Chairman, in moving the resolutions, explained that the meeting hail been convened to raise further funds for carrying out the purposes of the company. Tho report, which had been circulated amongst the shareholders, was short and, he thought, perfectly clear, and put them in possession of the facts, which were simply these: Owing to extremely bad luck last year they had three separate outbreaks of enteric fever at tho mine, with the result that they had four managers in the course of the twelve months. In addition to that, they had groat difficulty in getting a proper quantum of hammer-boys, so that the progress made at the mine was distinctly disappointing. Taking all these things into consideration, perhaps it was not remarkable that they found themselves with a very small margin of funds at the presont time. When the last reconstruction took place his presont colleague, Mr. Do Lisso, who wan then on tho other sido of the tabic, suggested that thoy ought to have a 5s. instead of a 4H reconstruction. It bad turned out that be was perfectly right. If they had had a 5a reconstruction he believed that the shareholders would have come in very much as they did, and the directors would not have had to convene the present meeting. However, it was thought at the time that thoy had allowed a sufficient margin, and but for their misfortunes their calculations would have been sufficient. As tho circular stated, they had a balance loft of somo £2,000 or £3,000 — in other words, nbout ono month's expenses —an 1 that would disappear very rapidly if they wero to have a comparatively small breakdown at the mine. Early in February a small accident diil occur, which might have easily delayed them for a considerable time. The armatures of two of their threo electric motors gavo out at tho samo time, and they found themselves running the entire crushing apparatus with only ono motor, and if nn accident had happened to that they would have been delayed for at least a month. That accident showed them vory plainly that it would never do to run along on tho comparatively small margin which they had. When ho ex plained the position when they originally reconstructed ho pointed out that the directors did not anticipate getting out of the ordinary crushings of the ore at tho mine more than enough to p*ay tho whole of tho expenses, and, as tho result of three months' experience, they know that their calculation in that regard was fairly correct. The total running expenses at homo and abroad amounted to somo £2,200 or £2,300. Those expenses hod been now reduced, and would perhaps in the future not exceed £2,000 a month. They wore likely to got from their crushing operations just about that- sum of money, and then thoy Bid to look for any profits from specimen ore that might ho-found. That was a point which was impressed upon their minds when they reconstructed. As to whether thoy wero going to find specimen ore, no one could tell. In the month of March they found in a comparatively deep working a nice little bit of specimon stone, hut nothing like tho £70,000 which was found in the original rich chute It was not worth much more than £100, but it demonstrated the fact that thoy could get spjcimen oro at greater depth, and so far that was encouraging. Until they went even deeper it was impossible to say that they had anything like exhausted the possibilities of the mine, and the view of the directors, which was strongly backed up by the consulting engineers, was that it would be a great mistake to allow the thing to die out without subjecting tho mine to a veiy thorough teat. Having arrived at that conclusion, the next thing the directors hail to consider was as to how best to set about it. Obviously anoth or reconstruction would have been very hard upon the shareholders,as some of them perhaps would not have been able to follow their money, and would therefore be frozen out.
Monsieur Albert Fouguee-Duparc, first Secretary to the Embassy and French Consul- General in Beyrout, returned hore, after a three months' leave, on Friday by the S.S. Yang Tse of the Messageries Maritimes. The French Consular staff and soveral members of the French Colony, as woll as tlie representatives of the Vilayet and the M uteeearifyat of Lebanon, and' a number of distinguished friends welcomed him on board. The packet-yacht Isle do France of the Societe Generale des Transports Maritimes h Vapeur arrived here yesterday, after a cruise in Spain, trance, and the Levapt. The Isle de France numbers a crew of 107 hands all told, and carries" 201 tourists who are bound lor Jaffa, to visit Jerusalem and the important sites of the Holy Land. ' In view of the services rendered by Mr. Gaudin, Director General of the Hamidieh Hejaaz Railway, the Sultan lias been pleased to confer on him the title of Pasha with a corresponding high grade. Tho representatives of the German and French element on the Grand tine are now put on a footing of equality. Mrs. Lawrence Oliphant, tho talented writer and wifo of tho well-known novelist and philosopher of Caiffa fame, left for England by the the Scottish Princo on tho 30th ultimo. Mrs. Oliphant will bo shortly publishing nn amplification of her original, and already known work, treating on religion ns viewed with the eyes of science, and which has beep thought out and written during a long sojourn of soveral years in a calm retreat on Mount Carmel. Mrs. Oliphant has in her possession, as a relic from her second artist-husband, a painting having all tho characteristics of the well-known French master Corot. As ap American lady artist originally put it, in Corot's pictures there is, as it were, n background of ivory relieved by a fleecy cotton wool veil. In the smnll painting in tho possession of Mrs. Oliphant there is that vory curious mixture of solid ivory tint with the soft floecy effect blended together, and there is moreover the usual tiiemo of a cow, a tree and a woman. Students of tho great French master wj|l, await with interest the pronouncement of French oxpoi ts in Paris, to whom Mrs. Oliphant means to submit the picture. If it turns out to be u genuine Corot it may be vnlued at not less than £1500.

The long waited judgment in the election petition »in given Inst week. The finding win almost regarded as a foregone conclusion, and the Bishop of Kitiuni, and Messrs. Th and Antonio Theodotou are now no longer members of the legislative Council. Moreover, if the provisions of the English are to hold good, it is understood that these gentlemen will lie disqualified from sitting as members of turunoil for a space of seven years. Whatever may be the ultimate results which may follow upon the disappearance of these ex- legislaton from the political stage during this Iieriod, ono obvious benefit may be hoped for from the judicial decision, namely, that it has cleared the political atmosphere, and a diminu lion of party foeliog, which, of late years, has introduced itself into every public question, may reasonably bo anticipated.
The question of the election of an Archbishop of the Ureek Orthodox Church is now- very much to tho fore again. It is rumoured that tho Patriarchs of Jetusalom, Antioch and Alexandria have boon invited to visit the Inland to assist the Government in solving the problem and appointing a new Heat! of the Auto Cephalous Church. The Greek Easter, which synchronizes with that of the Armenian Church, Im9 been marked as usual by numerous church services of a more or less descriptive character. As is common in the former church, the midnight services are the most popular. Tho High Commissioner. The High Commissioner and Lady King Harman, with Sir Robert Biddulph and Miss Biddulph and Miss Geraldine King Harman have taken advantage of the adjournment of the Legislative Council over the Greek Easter to make a ten days' excursion 10 the Makhera monastery and its vicinity. On these occasions there is great demand for mules for baggage purposes, and other touring paFties often expc- rience difficulty in obtaining suitable transport at such times. These trips afford a pleasant relaxation to tho High Commissioner and enable him at the same time to come into personal touch with many of the villagers and become acquainted at first band with some of their needs. They must, also have a useful effect upon the country people, who ore glad to welcome his Excellency among them and derive from these visits a little pleasant excitement in the monotony of their quiet, uneventful lives.
A most successful gymkhana was held at the Polo Club ground, Nicosia, on the 6th instant, that being tho Greek Easter Monday. The day was regurded as a holiday by the Greek community, and the Government offices, which are mainly staffed by Greeks, were virtually closed after 11 a.m. It was therefore jiossiblo to mako tho gymkhana a whole day fixture. Tho programme consisted of fourteen events, and the attendance was large. The entries did not soem to _bo quite so numerous as usual, but this may bo accounted for by the increased expense of keeping ponies. The usual events such as tent pegging, and tilting at the ring were included in the programme and both ladies and gentlemen appeared to show better form in the last named competition than on former occasions, other features of the programme were : polo on donkeys, Indies' hoop race, trotting races, scurries, whisling coon race, tug of wnr on donkeys, ladies bangle race, poet laureate race, potato race for men, needle threading race, anil relay race. Tho High Commissioner and the Government House party were present throughout the day and Alias Biddulph and Miss Geraldine King Harman entered for several of the events.
The annual report of the Chief Medical Officer in the year 1900 is officially published with a few exceptions tho general health of lie I-land is reported to have been, on tho while, good. Malarial fevers were remarkable for there decrease. Tho number of patients Ireutedqfor it in tho various hospitals and dispensaries throughout the Island being only 5,761, while in the previous year there were 16,l0l. This decrease is attributed principally to climatic conditions, although the better precaution taken by the people to avoid infec- nml the free issue of quinine from all the district and rural dispensaries must have reduced the mediums of infection. We read there is no doubt that pulmonary tuberculosis won the increase, principally in the towns.
With the exception of a medical inspection anti disinfection of the effects of third class passengers, as also(susceptible goods on arrivals from Egypt, Beyrout and Adalia, it was not found necessary to enforce any quarantine during the year. A health officer has been akpointed.to the new hnrbour at Famagusta, andadisinfectingapparatus has been established there in order that free pratique may he granted when medical inspection with diainfection is imposed.

LA GRIPPE spares no class or nationality. The cultured and the Ignorant, thu aristocrat and the psnpcr, tho masses and the classes are all subject to la grippe. None are exempt—all aro liable. La grippe Is woll-named. The original term, la grippe, Is French, but It has boon shortened by tho busy Amerioan to one word "grip." Without any Intention of doing so, a new word has been coined which describee the disease exactly. The ailment clings to tho patient as tenaciously , If some terrible giant had clutched him in a fatal clasp. Men, women and children — whole towns and cltle9 are caught In the baneful grip of this terrible monster. Have you the grip? .Or, rather, has tho grip caught you? If so, read tho following letters. These testimonials will BIIOW you the quickest and best meansof ridding yourself of this tenacious disease and its after-effects. Suffered Twelve Years Trom After- Effects of La Grippe. Mr. Victor Patnoaude, 82s Madisou Hi., Topeka, Kas., a well-known carpenter and momber of Knights and Ladies of Security, writes: "Twelve years ago I had a severe attack of la grippe and I never rosily recovered my health and strength—hut grow weaker every year, until I was uuable to work. "Two years ago I began using l'eruns and It bnllt up my strength so that in a couple of months I was aide to go to work again. "This winter I had another attack of la grippe, but Porunu soon drove It out of my system. My wife and I consider Peruna a household remedy." Pneumonia Followed La Grippe— Pe-ru-na, the Remedy That Brought Relief. Mr. T. Baruecott, West Aylmer, Ontario, Can., writes: "Last winter 1 was ill with pneumonia after having la grippe. I took Peruna Tor two months, when I became quite well, and 1 can say that any one can be cured by It in a reasonable time and at little expense. "Every time I take a cold, I tako some Peruna, which makes me well again. "I also advised it for my daughter who was 6o 111 with prostration that she could not follow her trade of dress making. "A bottle of Pernna made such a change In her that she has been able to follow her trade ever since. "J also Induced a young lady, who was all rundown and confined to tho bouse, to tako Pornua, and after taking Peruna tor three months she is able to follow bor trade of tailoring.
who aro 111 ami require a tonic." Systemic Catarrh, the Result of La Grippe. Pe-ru-na Receives Credit for Present Good Health. Mrs..fennle W.Gilmore, Box44, While Oak, I ml. Ter., formerly Housekeeper for Indiana Kcform School for Boys, writes: "Six years ago I had la grippe, which was followed by systemic catarrh. "The only thing I used ^as Peruna and Manalin. and I have been In better health the last llireo years than for years before. "t give Peruna all tho credit for my good health." Pe-ru-na—A Tonic After La Grippe. Mrs. Chits. E. Wells, fir., Delaware, Ohio, writes: "After a severe attack of la grippe, I took Peruna and found It a very good tonic." Judge Horatio J.Goss, Hartwell, Ga., writes: "I had asetVre spell of la grippe which lort mo with systemic catarrh. A friend advised ino/4o try Peruna. The third holllc- completed tho euro."
"Most Effective Medicine Ever Tried for La Grippe" Koht. L. Madison, A. M., Principal of Cullowhee High School, Palntor, N. C., is chairman of tho Jackson County Board of Education. He has for nearly six years heen teaching In Painter. He Is a writer of occasional verse and has contributed to a number of leading papers and magazines,—religious, educational and secular. In speaking of Peruna, Mr. Madison says: "I am hardly ever wlthont Peruna In my homo. It Is tho most effective medicine that I have ever tried for la grippe. "It also enred my wife of nasal catarrh. Her condition at ono time was such that she could not at night breathe through her nostrils. "In consequence, an Inflamed condition of the throat was brought about, getting worse and worse, and yielding to no remedy util Peruna wai tried."

ACCIDENTS 10 LABOURERS. A correspondent writes :—Several of this class of accident have been reported lately, and, as a matter of fact, there is a very regular harvest of such accidents. The responsibility for them is, however, quite another question and is a question of very considerable importance. Naturally tho first point is to lessen their frequency, and this can only be done by survoillance. As to by whom this should be done there seems some doubt. The contractor is usually held responsible by his contract with tho person for whom he builds or excavates. The accidonta I refer to, however, are happily comparatively rare in connection with contracting firms of any importance and they mainly occur in jerry building works, and the demolition, by irresponsible persons, of very ancient buildings. Wo should think, however, that something could bo done to lessen the heavy death roll ; where human life is at stake surely some means could be devised for the protection of the practically defenceless'labourer, who has no Board of Trade to care for his safety, or a workmen's compensation act in the event of his being injured or killeJ by the fault of the party from whom he receives his wages. It is to be hoped that these remarks will lie taken in the spirit in which they are offered : a strong hand brought to Itear on employers found guilty of carelessness of tho safety of their workmen will lie found very salutary, although at the same time the employer must use every care to prevent the foolish fatalism of the native labourer from bringing him within the reach of tho law by neglecting the most elementary precautions.
