To expect absolute accuracy in the average newspaper report on mercantile marine affairs, especially in so technical a subject as steamship speed, would be equivalent to expecting to fetch a given port with a compass that, un known to the mariner, was holpelessly wrong in deviation. Probably that is why some con temporaries have recently published half-true or worse statements anent the Peninsular and Oriental Company's new contract to carry mails to Inflia, China, and Australia. This is a part of our overseas postage that has been principally in the company's hands during the past sixty years or more. Thus if any firm of shipowners know best how to carry ocean-borne mails to the east, it should be the P. and 0,
As to Ihe new contract, which begins on the 1st of next February, and continues for seven years from that date, for £35,000 less a year than formerly, the company will decrease the outward passage by thirty-six hours and the homeward run by just a nautical day. This increase in speed has been characterised by one of the morning dailies as "very small." Another compared the savings with what would be made on -the Atlantic if the proposed "all red route" should become a fact Complaints have been made that the P. and 0. are not forced by the terms of the subsidy to run twenty-knot boats, instead of their sixteen to seventeen-knotters. It has also been put forward that the Far Eastern and southern routes are better suited for increased speed than the Atlantic is, where the increase during the past d jeade has been about six knots an hour. To answer these matters from the bottom upwards, says the "Pall Mall Gazette": It is the short passage that has the advantage over the longer one in scope for acceleration, simply because every knot per hour put on over fifteen or sixteen means, proportionately, a much larger increase in thecost of propulsion, efficiency of engines, and resistance of reverberation. Whilst the Suez Canal remains in its present condition and continues to be the route to the Far East, it ' is next to impossible to rnn even eighteen-knot boats. What is more, the great increase in speed across the Western Ocean has been only on its northern part. No steamer running through the tropics has put on more than half that acceleration in the same number of years. So far from a decrease of from twenty- four to thirty-six hours being a small matter on such a long mn; without holding any brief for the P. and 0., it means a bigdlRMR^ both in the capital cost of vessels and in running them. It most also b0 remembered that all acceleration in speed means diminished earning powers, owing to the finer lines needed in the craft, and to the greater amount of coal that has to he carried to gain that increase.
If speed and frequency of service are required, whether for mail-carrying or any other purpose afloat, the increase in excess of what ordinary trade conditions warrant must be paid for by subsidy of some sort And it is quite obvious that no shipowner will build vessels for such a service, unless he first obtains a certain fixity of tenure. He cannot be expected to ran the risk of having such cosfily experiments thrown on his hands at the end of a short contract, with no probable employment available for them. For this reason seven years is a short term for a mail contract, with such an acceleration of speed on a long passage. It is so short that any company new to that business would not be content without a much longer term. Besides, as to the comparison of speed on the Atlantic and on the eastern routes, in addition to the physical, the commercial conditions are entirely different. If the public wants artificially fast services, over and above what the usual trade considerations require, then Jhe nation must he prepared to pay the marginal account. The shipowner does not like such artificiality ini his trade, because it means running his busine grts, on an artificial basis. It means the different between garden and hothonse growing, or th which exists between Free Trade and Prote tion. As an illustration of what high spec means, Sir William Lyne told the recent Col nial Conference, apropos of the "all red route actui (which, by the by, is the only concrete ontcona mean of the Conference), that an increase of thre imt knots on fifteen per hour meant actuall runni doubling the coal consumption. Experts ii yiftftl marine engineering and shipbuilding say ths mere this statement is perfectly accurate, and tha imeai it means a comparatively great cost in th meres craft themselves ; the governing rule bein mean that the coal consumption increases at th at 1 same rate as the cube of the speed. With reference more directly to the "all re route," it could not alternate properly wit the P. and 0. service by the Suez Canal. Th two services would be mutually desfcruetivi The distance by the former route is 13,76 miles, taking Melbourne as the port of destin ation, and 10,804 miles by the latter route Thus between the two there is a difference o 2,963 miles in favour of the Suez route, or o 27.5 per cent, and no transhipment of eithe passengers or cargo. An average mail speed o sixteen knots to Australia, which some writer have treated so contemptuously, in favour o the ] an "all red route," represents a speed that ha* it w< never yet been maintained by a mercantile the ] craft in tropical waters except across the it wc Indian Ocean, and only then with a favouring the ] monsoon breeze more or less at her heels. I< run. must he borne in mind that to keep up such a tt wc rate of speed as is being asked for it would be the ] necessary, on certain sections of the passage, trou] considerably to exceed that speed; and that a that ship giving such results would require, when arice built, to be capable of a speed of at least three arme knots faster than the average of her run. As- nat i suming, however, that the P. and 0. run a ice t sixteen knot service throughout, the time the I occupied between the Thames and Melbourne iu<e 1 will be 28 days 19 hours; while to attain an t equally quick transit on the "all red route" a speed of twenty knots would be required on the Atlantic and eighteen knots on the Pacific. This would involve a subsidy of probably double that which is required for the Suez route; and even those Australian Premiers who, at the Conference, talked so well for the proposed way rift Canada, could not promise more than a fifteen-knot service from Vancouver to Melbourne.

The number of pilgrims expected to visit Mecca this year is 281,000, which indicates that the pilgrimage is not losing its prestige.

The sanitary state of these various groups has much improved, owing to more rapid communications by means of railway from Hedjaz, and also, in a great measure, to the very severe sanitary measures adopted at Djeddah, port of disembarkation for Mecca.

The organisation of the carnival was perfect and exceptionally creditable, in view of the fact that all entries were at the post. Great assistance was given to the Club by Lieut. Fullerton of H.M.S. "Queen," who was in command, and brought his men up to the post most promptly. In fine, and to express oneself in the terms of sportsmen, everyone " played the game," all were delighted, and no greater compliment could have been paid to the Club than the rousing and unanimous chorus of "For he's a jolly good fellow," with which the entertainment terninated, and the ringing cheers amid which the men of the Fleet rowed back to duty. It was indeed, a good old British crowd of sportsmen at the height of enjoyment, enthusiastic, and highly appreciative of the Club's effort to give them "a good show." Generally speaking, the Mediterranean Fleet have been well entertained during their visit to Alexandria, and we were proud to overhear the remark, passed by a sailor at yesterday's carnival of the Alexandria Swimming Club, "I wish every port would treat us as these people do." On their part, the Club are greatly indebted to Lieutenant Fullerton, of H.M.S. "Queen," whose organisation of the Fleet's, which was, of course, the greater portion, participation in the carnival very largely contributed to the success of the afternoon. The men, too, are to be thanked for the ready way in which they responded to the calls of their hosts, and for the hearty manners in which they expressed their appreciation.
The carnival was opened by a team race of 420 yards, each team being composed of 7 men, each of whom swam 60 yards. The fleet team was composed as follows:— Chapman, "Queen"; Johnson, "Lancaster"; Taylor, "Suffolk"; Laden, "Venerable"; London, "Diana"; Cashen, "Irresistible"; Clark, "Prince of Wales." The Swimming Club team was comprised as follows:—Martin, Lloyd, Howard, Glasspole, Ecclestone, Randall, and Darton. Starting off with Martin for the Club and Chapman for the Fleet a splendid race of sixty yards was witnessed, the former winning by about half a foot. Following Martin, Lloyd took the water very smartly and gained an appreciable lead from Johnson. This was increased by Howard, who followed, and when Ecclestone entered the water a win for the Club was certain. Randall and Darton in turn each materially increased the lead and the Club eventually won by a good 36 yards.
The next event was the plunging competition for which there were over a hundred entries, and this was divided into twelve heats, the winners of which were as follows:— Heat 1 — Condren, "Prince of Wales"; Heat 2 — Woods, "Queen"; Heat 3 — Smith, "Ir resistible''; Heat 4 — Warren, "Diana"; Heat 5 — Gillot, "Queen"; Heat 6 — Laroche ; Heat 7 — Barnes, "Prince of Wales"; Heat 8 — Johnson, "Lancaster"; Heat 9 — Bennett, "Suffolk"; Heat 10 — Bignall, "Venerable" ; Heat 11 — Garbodd, ''Queen"; Heat 12 — Woolley, "Queen." The semi-final was plunged in two parts, the winner and swimmer up being Wood and Smith, and of the second Garbodd, with Johnson and Bignall dead level for second place. In the final Smith, of the "Irresistible," came in an easy first with a plunge of 49 feet, and second place was awarded to Garbodd, of the "Queen."
After the plunging competition came the polo match, Fleet v. Club, and this proved to be the mosc exciting and besf contested event of the afternoon. The teams were constituted as follows :—
Fleet—Chapman, "Queen"; Warren, "Diana"; Green, "Lancaster"; Davis, "Barham," Simpson, "Irresistible"; Mainsbridge, "Venerable"; and Clark "Prince of Wales."
Swimming Club.—Martin, Darton, Potts, Ecclestone, Howard, Glasspole, Inglott.
From the start the game was fast and exciting, and some excellent play was witnessed before the never-failing Martin scored the first goal for the Club. The fleet, however, soon had their revenge, Mainsbridge of the "Venerable" scoring a very clever goal. Ecclestone drew the Club ahead again and half time was called with the scores at 2 to 1 in the Club's favour. In the second half Martin soon scored the third goal for his side and the second to his credit, and it was not long before Ecclestone made the score 4 to 1. The Fleet after this, however, pulled together better and by some very good play, Warren, of the "Diana," and Mainsbridge, of the "Venerable," each added a goal for the Fleet. The play of both sides was good throughout and the Fleet team showed splendid form, but the feature of the match was the play of Martin, who, although not having played a match for four years, was dead on the ball every time it came near him, and shot for goal splendidly at long distances. Ecclestone, Darton, and Glasspole also showed very good form. The final score was Club 4 goals, Fleet 3.
The blindfold race, three widths of the bath, was very well swum, but a few
of the men were less blind than they should have been, and were consequently
disqualified, and two or three fouls were also given for ducking
For the final the nine men mentioned lined up, and a very good race was witnessed, Hart, of the "Queen" winning by a touch.
The blindfold race was followed by the tug-of-war, each of the eight boats sending a team of four. Every pull was most keenly contested and there was little to be chosen among the teams, but the "Venerable" and "Barham" were the two strongest, and in the final the former won by obtaining the first two pulls. Walking the greasy pole caused much amusement, several of the men being in fancy costumes of most original designs. The flag was secured twice out of three times by Loughlin of the "Irresistible" who was most skilful, and came out an easy winner. The prize for the best costume was secured by the wearer of the Turkish lady's dress, and the policeman and olown are also deserving of special mention.
After the carnival had been concluded, (all too soon for both fleet and club, but the voice of duty called "clear the bath and get ready for the boats"), Mr. Walter F. Sarjeant, who, as Chairman of the Club and member of the entertainment committee for the visit of the Fleet, presided over the "At Home", generously presented to the winners of the various events monetary prizes. Refreshments and cigarettes were also provided by Mr. Sarjeant Mr. Sarjeant was well thanked for his indefatigability in conducting the carnival, and his hospitality in entertaining all, and the men's farewell chorus of "For he's a jolly good fellow" amply showed their hearty appreciation of his, and the club's generally, efforts to entertain them.
The Egyptian XI that turned out on Monday against the Fleet was in reality an Alexandria XI with the exception of Major Liddell, of Cairo.
Alexandria won the toss and elected to bat first, Birley and H.B. Carver opening at 11.30, and the former was bowled by Hastings in the second over. Kinder then joined Carver and the score was taken to 28 when Carver was caught off a fast one from Scott which bumped nastily. Liddell then followed and the aspect of the game improved, 119 being registered before Kinder was well caught on the boundary for a useful but distinctly lucky 62. At 1 p.m. an adjournment was made to the Union Club where the Fleet XI were entertained at lunch by the A.C.C. and the game was resumed at 2.30 p.m. Liddell left shortly after being joined by Mainprice, his 40 having taken him longer than usual to obtain. Three more wickets fell quickly, and matters did not look so bright with 6 wickets down for 164, when, Hay then joined Mainprice and the score was carried to 242. The latter was dismissed fora well played 75 which was obtained without giving a chance, and the innings closed for a total of 255, Hay carrying his bat for a useful 26. Kitcat and Campbell started for the Fleet, but the latter fell in the second over and Elstob who followed was shortly afterwards bowled by Prosser. Yeo and Kitcat were getting settled when the former had bad luck in being run out, and Kit cat was dismissed for a steady 27. Hotham carrying his bat for 28 was the only one to give any further trouble and the last wicket fell for a total of 116, Alexandria thus winning by 139 runs. Prosser bowled well to begin with but seemed to tire, and H.B Carver who went on in his place, took the last 3 wickets for 5 runs only. With half an hour left for play the Fleet followed on and lost three wickets for 51, when stumps were drawn at 6.15 p.m.

Yesterday a most enjoyable day was spent at Aboukir by some 50 midshipmen of the Fleet, who were entertained by the British Colony, represented by Captain J. T. Murray; Rev. E. H. Blyth; Messrs, H. E. and F. W. Moss; J. D. Clarke; R. Carver; and J. Wallace. The trip was a great success and hearty thanks are due to Captain J. T. Murray and Mr. E. C. Moss, who were responsible for its organisation.
Special trams left Customs Gate No. 14 at ten minutes past eleven and connected with other special trams for Sidi Gaber, where the party caught the 12-25 train, to which special coaches had been attached for their accommodation. On arriving at Aboukir the party went direct to the Nelson Hotel where an excellent luncheon was served, and after this was over they made their way seawards and went out to Mr. G. B. Alderson's "Noah's Ark," kindly lent for the occasion by Mr. S. R. Richmond. From the ark the middies and their guests had a good afternoon's sport in the water. Races were swum, an impromptu polo match was played, there were some excellent diving exhibitions and fancy displays in the water, and the middies enjoyed themselves thoroughly. At 4.55 p.m. the party entrained for Ramleh and on reaching there walked to Schutz, at which station they took tram to Bulkeley. At Bulkeley they were entertained to tea at Colline Moss by Mrs. R. J. Moss, who had returned from the Nouzha Garden party and, after spending an hour there they returned to Alexandria, reaching the quay about 8 o'clock. Before leaving Bulkeley, however, the middies gave a rousing three cheers for their hostess and for the British Colony, the members of which have done so much to make their visit to Alexandria as enjoyable as possible.
Yesterday afternoon from four to half past six o'clock the British colony of Alexandria were "at home" to the Admirals, Captains, and Officers of the British Fleet at the Nouzha Gardens. A considerable number of the officers of the fleet were present, and of Alexandrian residents we might mention, Boutros Pasha Ghali, Sir Eldon Gorst, Mustapha Pasha Ibadi, Mohamed Bey Hafez, the Municipal Councillors, Mr. and Mrs. R.J. Moss, Admiral Sir R. Massie Blomfield, Hopkinson Bey, Cobbe Bey, Dr. and Mrs. Ruffer, Chataway Bey, Schiess Bey, Mr. Foster, C.M.G., Mohamed Pasha Mohsen, Mr. and Mrs. Critchley, Baron J. de Menasce, Mr. Abdy, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Carver, Mr. and Mrs Kenneth Peel Birley, Mr. Paul Cavafy and many others. The guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Moss, assisted by Admiral Sir R. Massie Blomfield, R.N., and all present spent a most enjoyable afternoon. In connection with this "at home," however, we would pass one criticism: — We consider that the Municipality might have taken the trouble to water the road leading from the entrance to the new lawn, where the reception was held, and thus avoided smothering onr guests in dust.
The Fleet left Alexandria this morning for Jaffa. The "Lancaster" and "Suffolk" set sail at 6 a.m. and were followed by the "Queen," "Venerable,'4 "Irresistible," and "Prince of Wales" at 9 a.m. The "Barham" and "Diana" remain in port, and the former will leave on Monday.
Before leaving this morning Admiral Sir Charles Drury addressed a letter to the Governor of Alexandria thanking him and his fellow residents of Alexandria for the kind hospitality which the Fleet have received during their stay in this port, and for the facilities which have been given by the Government to the officers and men who visited Cairo.
We have also received the following letter of thanks:—
To the Editor of the "Egyptian Gazette."
Sir,
I beg to request that you will cause the undermentioned paragraph to be inserted in your paper:—
The Admirals, Officers and Men of H.B.M.'s Fleet wish to express their great appreciation of the kind hospitality shown them during their stay by the British and other residents of Alexandria, many of whom they have been unable to thank personally.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
Heathcoat S. Grant.
Captain, H.M.S. "Diana."
The return match H.M.S. "Diana" v. British Rifle Club (Alex.) will take place next Thursday afternoon on the Mustapha Range, commencing 2 o'clock.
Theodore H. Davis, the distinguished archaeologist has arrived in New York from a tour of Egypt, bearing with him a very ancient relic calculated to bring joy to the hearts of all antiquarians. Packed among his baggage is an alabaster statue of Queen Teie, a famous society beauty of Egypt about 1800 B.C. The statue, probably one of the oldest in the world, will be presented to the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Although at the forenoon meeting of the Cassa di Sconto a certain manifestation of dissatisfaction not to say hostility was exhibited to the board of directors, their proposals were carried by acclamation at the subsequent meeting in the afternoon. The loan oT £300,000. which it is hoped will be advanced by a syndicate of banks under the leadership of the National Bank of Egypt, will according to the estimates of the Directors enable the Cassa di Sconto to meet all its liabilities in full. It is further hoped that a favourable liquidation may enable a satisfactory return to the shareholders to be made. This prospect, which we hope will not prove as illusive as the mirage, captivated the imagination of the shareholders. Bearing in mind, however, the old adage anent the folly ot swapping horses while crossing the stream we think the shareholders have exercised a wise discretion in vesting full powers ifi the Board for the purpose of liquidation, instead of indulging in heated and acriminons recriminations. Whilst however agreeing that the bast has been done with a bad job we entirely fail to understand on what grounds the Directors received such a flattering demonstration.
The following is the report of the meeting
At 3.15 o'clock yesterday afternoon the shareholders of the Cassa di Sconto began to assemble for the continuation of the meeting adjourned from the morning. At 4 o'clock the hall of assembly was crammed and the proceedings commenced punctually at that hour. The first step taken was the scrutiny of the shares. For this purpose Mr. Victor Luzzato and Mr. R. Levi were appointed and after forty minutes they were able to announce that the number of shares represented largely surpassed the seventy five thousand necessary to form a quorum. The Chairman of the Board of the Directors, the Advocate Clemente Castro, then officially announced the result of the scrutiny, which gave 95,075 shares represented among those present and deposited either at the Cassa di Sconto or in the other banks of Alexandria and Cairo. The Chairman then proceeded to read the following speech in Italian
Signori,
Prima di dare lettura del Rapporto del Con- siglio d' Ainministrazione sulFattuale situazione, tanto io che i miei Colleghi crediamo nostro dovere di pregaivi a conservare durante la presente seduta la massima calma ed a ricor- darvi la gravity e l'importanza delle deliberazioni che siete chiamati a prendere in questo
memento.
Lo scopo cornu ne deve essere quello sol tan to di avvisare al miglior modo possibile per sal- vare il nostro Istituto, che, come vi renderete conto dal Rapporto del Consiglio, non meritava la sorte che cosi inattesamente lo ha colpito. Chiunque comprende che qualsiasi recriminazione, qualsiasi attacco, giusto od ingiusto, rivolto contro chicchessia, non potrebbe che recare gravissimi danni all'Istituto, ed appor- tare delle corseguenze gravissime, mentre tutti gli sforzi del Consiglio sc no stati e seguiteranno ad essere, col vostro appoggio, diretti a scon- giurare ogni evento disastroso.
Ed invero, se manterremo tutti, in questo frangente un contegno calmo e dignitoso, se affronteremo serenamente la situazione attuale, avendo solamentfc in vista di evitare un danno irreparabile, noi abbiamo la ferma fiducia, coll'ainto delle Bancbe che sono pronte ad assisterci, di evitare una liquidazione giudiziaria e di poter subito riprendere i pagamenti procedendo quindi ad una liquidazione amiche- vole e graduale.
Sono sicuro que queste poche parole vi avranno persuasi della necessity di limitare strettamente l'attuale discussione alle deli. berazioni formanti oggetto dell'ordine del
giomo
Con questi in tendimenti, invito il Signor Amministratore-Delegato di dare lettura all'As- semblea del Rapporto del Consiglio d'Amministrazione.
This speech received the plaudits of those present and then Mr. Vannucci, the Managing Director, proceeded to read out the report of the directors, which appeared in our issue of yesterday's date.
When this was finished the Chairman asked Mr. Vannucci to read the report of the banking experts of the Anglo-Egyptian, Imperial Ottoman, Deutsche Orient Banks and the Comptoir National d'Escompte de Paris, which we have already published. After this document had been read out, the Chairman read the "Ordre du Jour," which was as follows :—
"1. L'Assemble gendrale des actionnaires decide d'autoriser le Conseil a s'entendre avec le syudicat des Banques, k la t£te duqtiel se trouve la National Bank of Egypt* et aux meilleures conditions qu'il loi sera possible, afin de reprendre ses paiements le 5 juillet conrant et afin de rouvrir ses guichets; et au cas oh cet emprunt viendrait k se r&diser, decider, d&s k present, la mise en liquidation amia-. ble de la soci£t4 ou toute autre combinaison utile."
"2. Dan9 le cas oh 1'emprunt ne serait pas conclu avant le 5 juillet conrant,
ce qui, de par la loi, obligerait le Conseil k d/poser le bilan de la
Soc\6tt au Tribunal, l'assembl^e g&i&ale d&iVre d'autoriser le
Conseil m6me k formuler une demande pour Pobtention da b^fice dn concordat
prdventif, et k fiaire les propositions de concordat qu'il oroira utiles,
The Chairman then invited anybody present to ask questions, as he declared that the members of the board of directors were perfectly willing to answer questions. Maitre Lombardo then rose and proposed that the question of a friendly liquidation shonld be pat to the vote, | but "sans déposer le bilan." A shareholder | interposed and asked whether the negotiations | with the National Bank of Egypt and the other | local financial establishments had come to any | definite result. Mr. Metaxa answered he could
not give any undertaking in the subject, but | that he was in a position to state that the negotiations were proceeding very smoothly and that he was personally convinced that the | hoped for goal would soon be arrived at. Other
shareholders then spoke. Maitre Fornario and | Maitre Martino, both of Cairo, rose. The
former said that he would vote for the "Ordre du Jour," but he suggested this should be done on the condition that the board of directors should not be thereby free from responsibility in case that proceedings were necessary. Maitre Martino made a declaration to the same effect. The Chairman rose and I proposed that the meeting should vote on the | "Ordre du Jour" in the terms such as had | been proposed by the board of directors. He proposed that the vote should be taken by a show of hands. The vote was then taken and the "Ordre du Jour" was adopted.. This seemed to please the meeting and an ovation
ensued. Before the meeting broke up Mr. | Alfred Campos proposed a vote of thanks to | the Union Bank of Vienna, the National
Bank of Egypt, and the other local banks, | who had come to the rescue of the Cassa di Sconto. This proposal was carried by acclamation.
Mr. Schaar then proposed that the meeting should thank the board of directors, for having come forward in order to extricate the Cassa from its unfortunate plight This proposal was carried by acclamation and the meeting then dispersed.
The board of directors afterwards held a private meeting to consider the measures that should be now taken.
London, Wednesday. Sir Edward Grey stated in the House of Commons last night that Sir Eldon Gorst would not draw his pension which he had been receiving from the Egyptian Government
for his services as Financial Adviser, as long | as he remained Diplomatic Agent and Consul
General in Egypte renas not laten daha
London, Wednesday. Mr. Swift MacNeill asked a question in the House of Commons last night as to whether the introduction of parliamentary institutions into Egypt was in contemplation,
The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in reply quoted from Lord Cromer's last report and declared that such a step was altogether premature and he declined to make any further statement on the matter.
The Quarantine Board met yesterday under the presidency of Dr. Ruffer. The following was the agenda for discussion.
1 The building of a quarantine station at El-Khantara on the Suez Canal.
2 Complaints regarding the concession for feeding the pilgrims during their quarantine at Tor.
3 The report of Piot Bey, the manager of the Alexandria abbattoir, on the subject of the wretched state of the animals sent to the abbattoir, requesting that the animals should be examined before being allowed' ta imported into Egypt..
4. The appointment of members of various committees for the third quarter of the year.
To appoint Dr. Brund inspector general. of the council, as the substitute of Dr. Rupper during his absence, on leave. *
As it appears that rumours are in circulation to the effect that the funds are not sufficient to permit the Corporation to complete the Railway, we are authorised to state that not only are sufficient funds available for this purpose but on a very liberal estimate for the portion remaining unfinished, and for the provision of rolling stock and contingent expenses a considerable balance should remain at the disposal of the directors for the purpose of agricultural development, etc., in the Oasis. From the last reports railhead was at kilo 187:800, leaving only 56,200 kilom. to be. completed to Khargeh village,
PRIVATE AUCTION SALE at Messrs'
Congdon and Co's on Friday next 5th Inst., at 10 a.m: of personal effects, books, etc., of the late Mr. Coke Friend.

Now that the first little shook of the failure of the Cassa is over there is some chance of the investing public looking at the mutter with no near an approach to philosophy as can lx* expected from the average husiness man. Perhaps the first fact it may be useful to Ixmr ^in mind is that, as a consequence of the extraordinary harvest of last year, someting like 6 j millions of pounds English has been added to the monetary wealth of the country. About H millions was sent into Egypt, for the purpose of buying and handling the crops of last season, and not much more, it any more, than U millions has been brought, out again. In these circumstances it seems, at first sight, a little remarkable that there should be any financial trouble serious enough to bring about the crisis which has just come to a head, but to those who have followed the course of events the position is not difficult, to understand.
In Egypt, as in other countries, the success of casual speculation, so far from depending upon industrial prosperity, shows a strong tendency to alternate with it. The trouble has come about not by reason of investing capital a little too generously in legitimate undertakings, but through the gambling in shares of all kinds of financial and exploiting companies, whose objects, in many cases, have very slight connection with actual industrial or material progress. In an article which appeared in The Financier some months ago it was pointed out how tho value of agricultural land in Egypt •tad risen out of all pro]>ortion to its worth, )«>oked at commercially. That valuo has not at present sufibred any appreciable shrinkage, and it is very unlikely that. it will do so for an indefinite period. But. laud in the outskirts ot (cairo and other cities has decreased in value for the moment, simply because it has been made the vehicle for speculation to an utterly unwarranted extent..
The affairs of the Cassa di Scon to are, of course, not very well known in this country as yet, but in all probability it will turn out that the bank lias placed its money out at very high interest on the security of suburban land com- jianies, or with undertakings of a more or less cognate character, having little connection with agricultural exploitation or manufacturing concerns.
It must not, however, be understood that land values in Cairo, for instance, taking the city itself, are necessarily much inflated. The demand for hotel accommodation, which is a fairly good criterion of how things are going in a rapidly developing city, is better than ever. As has been pointed out, the fellah—no longer the poor fellah, but usually the rich fellah— comes to Cairo from time to time, and is by no means content to put up with the hugger- muggering accommodation provided for him in the last century. Frequently he goes to quite an expensive hotel, particularly if he has handsome daughters, and takes great delight iu making the acquaintance of Europeans. His IlimberK are increasing, and he is slowly beginning to realise that in these days it is quite possible to find a more satisfactory and quite as safe a place for his hoard as the foundations of his house or the soil of his garden; but still he remains with the ineradicable lust of land, and the greater part of his surplus will be invested in land—if his neighbours'so much the better—quite irrespective of what he can get out of it in the way of commercial return.
From two or three points of view the situation in Egypt somewhat resembles that which * oapie about in Australia at the time when the banks, panic-stricken by drought, were frantically foreclosing on the farmers' assets, regardless of the fact that they themselves were responsible, to a large extent, for the farmers' difficulties. But in Egypt the difficulties are not with the farmer, nor with the banks which have confined themselves to financing anything so solid as agricultural development. The difficulties are with the people who have lent money at 15, 20 and 25 per cent, on securities which they must have known from the first were of a highly speculative character. So long as the boom lasted they were eager to lend more money, and now that a considerable assortment of bubbles has been pricked there seems a disposition to scramble for the assets, quite regardless of their own share in the crisis, or of the future that has been discounted a little too soon, and a little to# heavily. It is not impossible that the stoppage of the Cassa di Sconto may be followed by that of one or two other houses who have been doing more or less similar business.
Yet, nothing would be easier than to exaggerate the significance of these failures—if failures they can be called. The whole affair is one that concerns speculators and the Bourse, but does not concern, to any appreciable extent, the sound banking business of Egypt, or the merchant* who are really merchants, nor the shares in soores of Egyptian undertakings which have devoted capital to material improvements and manufactures of one sort or another. The trouble is at the surface, and does not affect the real commercial life of the country. It may well be that the crisis is rather a blessing than otherwise. It will draw particular attention to the actual state of affairs, and will be a note of warning to a certain somewhat numerous section of financial operators, that they seem to have badly wanted. Otherwise the outlook in Egypt is a* pood a* it can be. The reports of crops are quite satisfactory, and there is not much doubt that, notwithstanding the dimensions of the lest harvest, the next one will surpass it. Meantime shareholders in Egyptian undertakings which have got any backbone in them need not be in the smallest degree perturbed at the happenings of the last few weeks.
The gross receipts for 1906 exceeded those of 1905 by L E. 4377.
These figures, however, do not accurately represent the results obtained in the year under leview.
It should be pointed out that in the figure of L.E. 78,352 receipts for local traffic in 1905 was included a sum of L.E. 9,230 representing the arrears due by the Ottoman Administration, with which this Department was credited in that year. The actual amount earned in 1905 on local traffic was therefore L.E. 69,122 and the increase under this head in 1906 is therefore L.E. 12,247.
It will be observed that there is a falling off in the receipts of interchanged (i.e. traffic exchanged with foreign administrations) of L.E. 4,892. This decrease is to be accounted for by the reduction in the terminal and transit rates from 25 centimes to 15 centimes per word which came into force on the 1st August 1905, as the result of the new agreement with the Eastern Telegraph Company. Underthe same agreement the subvention is reduced by L.E. 2,844. On the other hand, under the heading of "Railway Telegrams" we have a new item of receipts of L.E. 7.213. This represents the amount paid by the Railways for the Railway Telegrams done by the employees of the Telegraph Department. The amount is calculated on a basis mutually agreed upon from time to time between the two Departments.
The expenditure for the year. was L.E 91,714 as against L.E. 74,708 in 1905.
Of the excess ofL.E. 17,006, L.E. 8,000 was devoted to increases of salary to the staff.
Turning to the number of commercial messages dealt with, the figures show an increase of about 304,000 messages, or 15*3% over those of 1905.
It has not yet been found possible to alleviate to any extent the arduous duties imposed upon the staff by the ever increasing traffic. The staff of the Department is still considerably below the strength requisite for dealing efficiently with the traffic, and it is therefore impossible' at present to give shorter hours ot duty or to arrange for reliefs in order to give a weekly holiday. It is hoped however that in the course of the present year we shall obtain a sufficient number of new telegraphists from the schools to enable us to make a beginning in this direction. The Telegraph Section in the Arts and Metiers School is full and a building has been rented temporarily in which to accommodate the overflow and there are dow about 30 boys there.
In the meantime the Railway Administration is building a school of its own in which it is intended to give instruction to the Telegraph pupils belonging to the Traffic Department as well as those belonging to the Telegraph Department.
The average number of complaints received from the Public of delay to messages is two per ten thousand.
The average delay on all traffic between the time of the handing in of a message and its receipt at the telegraph office of destination is fourteen and a half minutes.
The number of "urgent" telegrams this year shows an increase of 20,000, or 40 % over those of 1905. This is probably due to the inadequacy of the telephone communication between the Cairo and Alexandria Bourses. When telephone communication is not imme^ diately obtainable the brokers prefer to send urgent telegrams to waiting for their turn at the telephone. It is hoped that in the course of this year this will be remedied by the construction of two new circuits.
In the meantime the existing trunk lines have earned over L.E. 1000 more than last year,
Two new circuits between Alexandria and Cairo have been built this year and were handed over to the Telephone Company in November, at the same rental as the two circuits already leased to the Company. Telephone communication was also established between Tanta and Cairo and was handed over on the 1st of June to the Company to work on the basis of half profits, and the result may be considered as satisfactory.
The total length of telephone line is now kilom. 3094.555 metres.
Five findred kilometres of new telegraph wire have been erected, besides a new line from Suez to Nakhl (Sinai) which has since been, handed over to the War Office.
Eight new offices have been opened;—at Agricultural Bank, Cairo; Citadel, Cairo; Katta; Kom-el-Wahal; Mualla; Mit-el-Absi Sahali and Sirrag, and three offices at /1 Sir, Guiza station ami Mallaha, have closed.
Quadruplex working has been introduced on one of the Cairo-Alexandria circuits and has proved of great assistance in keeping down delays during the busiest hours of the day. It is intended to extend this system to other circuits as soon as the necessary apparatus is received.

The Society for the Relief of Persecuted Jews, 41, Parliament St. S. W., is appealing for assistance for poor Jews in Syria. They state that 5000 Jewish refugees are estimated to have entered Palestine at Jaffa in the last 12 months. There is very great distress among them, and the Jews generally, which is aggravated by scarcity of water owing to scanty rainfall. The misery of aged and children, sick and feeble, in the heat of the Syrian summer, who have no money for buying water, can only be understood by those who have seen it.

Le tanx de Tescompte libre 4 Londres a encore fl^chi hier de 1/8 d 3 1/2 pour cent, signe que la situation monetaire tend dfcidiS- rhent4 s'ameliorer.
Au Stock Exchange, le Consolide anglais a hauste de 1/4 a 84 3/4. L'Uniftee est resWe invartee a 100 1/4. La National Bank a tetro- grtute de 1/4 d 19 5/8,1'Agricolede 1/8 d 7 7/8, la Daira Sanieh de 1/4 d 13 5/8 et la Delta Light de 1/4 8galement d 9.

Nous extrayons d'une correspondence de Londres, en date du 24 Juin, le passage suivant:
"Aptes avoir d8termin8 une reaction brusque et violente, la crise de sp<5culation en Egypte a fini par entralner ici des achats sdrieux en National Bank, en Agricole et autres valeurs de premier ordre Dans nos cercles financiers on croit g^n^ralement que la panique a atteint son apogee lorsque la National Bank est tom We rieemment jusqu'a £ 15 3/4 Tout 8tait escompte dans cette depression exag^tee : Taffaire de la Cassa di Sconto et ses suites, quelles qu'elles pussent etre. II est possible que, vu la morte saison et ltetat de convalescence du marchi Egyptien, la baisse (il s'agit d'une baisse ordinaire/ o'ait pas dit son dernier mot, mais elle n'entamera en rien la valeur intrinseque des entreprises, et ceux qui auront la patience d'attendre verront certaine- mentdes cours ttes satisfaisants On peut meme pronostiquer des surprises 4 bref d81ai, car des raisons d'ordre majeur doivent determiner nn mouvement de reprise, notamment sur la National Bank, qui est 4 la veille d'etre transformee en Banqued'Etat et qui a une emission 4 lancer par suite de Taugmeutatiou de son capital.
"D'autre part, la situation du marche monetaire paralt s'ameliorer serieusement et Ton s'attend au flechissement du taux de Tescompte libre. Par contra, il semble douteux que la Banque d'Angleterre soit dispose 4 reduire actuellement son taux minimum de 4 4 3 1/2 pour cent., car Tencaisse metallique est encore inferieure de £ 1,369,000 4 celle de la m6me date en 1906."

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--

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.

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.
