The Egyptian State Railways give notice that, to avoid overcrowding of the railway goods platforms during the cotton season, and the confusion necessarily resulting therefrom, the following regulations will be enforced :1. All consignments must be separared from one another by a minimum distance of two feet. 2. Consignments must be well arranged and stacked together. 3. When one lot of consignments has been received and stacked on one platform no more will be allowed to be placed on that platform until there is vacant space1. e.", all stacking of subsequent consignments on the top of these already existing will be prohibited. 4. A sufficient space must be left on each platform as a roadway for carts.
Should the railways find that these arrangements are not being carried out, and that there is confusion amongst the consignments, the gates of the station will be shut, and no more consignments will be accepted until platforms are empty, and thereafter receipt will only be given for the amount of goods for which wagons are available each day.

Telegraphing on the 17th inst. to "Al] | Minbar," Hafez. Effendi Awad, proprietor and editor of that paper, reports that he has written to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs begging that Parliament should grant selfgovernment to Egypt and permit the public to attend the sittings of the Egyptian parliament, He demands that education should be carried on in the Arabic language and should be free, and that European officials should gradually be superseded by Egyptians. We can only refer our worthy confrère to the answers given by Sir Edward Grey to the various questions on these subjects asked by the members of the Parliamentary Egyptian Committee, and which may be summarised as follows :-- Egypt | will certainly not be granted self government until there is evidence that the Egyptians are capable thereof and woald administer the affairs of the country with wisdom, justice, and impartiality ; a thorough | general education through the medium of the Arabic language is impossible ; every preference will be given to Egyptians in nominations to such posts as they are capable of
filling
On Friday last at 6 p.m. the Post Office of Mit Samanoud collapsed and buried under its rains the postmaster and his family of eight, five of whom met their deaths--the postmaster, his wife, a son and two daughters.
A circular has been distributed to the Press by the Postal Administration to the effect that on learning the Samanoud Post Office was in a bad condition an engineer was sent to inspect the buildings. He reported that the condition was not dangerous, but required repair (in-1 cluding two walls containing cracks) which the lt owner of the house bad started to repair, 1 adding that the walls which are between the Postmaster's house and the neiglıbouring house were in a precarious condition. The administration therefore sent the papers to the inspector, ordering him to proceed to Samanoud and have the necessary repairs carried out. Unfortunately the inspector did not arrive until after the disaster.
MR. A. DUGDALE.
The death took place on the morning of: August 12th of Mr. Alfred Dugdale, of Manchester. Mr. Dagdale was well known in commercial and political quarters. In his earlier years he travelled widely, and for a long time resided in Egypt. An ardent politician, the associated himself with all progressive movements, working in South Manchester with the Liberal party, but letting it be known that i Socialism was his ideal. He was an active member of the International Brotherhood.
We regret to announce the death of Mrr Alexander Grafton, A.M.I.C.E., which occurredo on August 18th at his residence in Bedford.
Mr. Grafton will be known to the oldest inhabitants of Alexandria as being the engineer in charge of the erection at Alexandria of some of the first rolling stock for the Sudan Government Railways, supplied about 30 years ago by Messrs. Appelby Bros.
Mr. Grafton had been ailing for some time but passed away quite snddenly.
He was brother of W.R. Grafton Bey, and i father of Mr. A. Grafton, of the Ports and Lighthouses Administration. We beg to offer our sincere condolences to the relations of the deceased in their great bereavement.
A fire broke out in the premises of the lo Ariston Aerated Water Company situated opposite the Tramway Company's terminus. In at Boulac, at seven o'clock on Friday morn-la ing, and the flames obtained almost complete mastery before the brigade arrived on the scene, owing the call being received late. In spite of all obstacles, however, the brigade obtained the mastery of the flames in a comparatively short. space of time, but the premises were completely gutted. Great credit is due to the firemen for the manner in which the area of the conflagration was restricted, especially in view of the fact of the inflammable nature of the surrounding buildings and their contents, consisting I ti in many cases of forage: the contents of the burnt building, or shed, consisted of chemicals of a dangerous nature and every-Jan thing contribued to promote a good blaze. Io We learn that the building and stock were covered by insurance but that the damage amounts to some two or three thousand pounds. The owners, the Ariston Aerated Water Company have already made arrangements for their clients to receive their supplies in the usual manner and the Company will probably install a new factory in the north of Cairo where it is believed the water is more suitable for the manufacture of mineral waters.

The following article, which will be of interet to many of our readers, appears in the Tribune" of the 13th inst. :
When any article attains an almost univeral popularity it may be taken as a general dictum that such a commodity insensibly imroves in value. We find a very clear proof of his statement in the modified attitude of the medical profession to tobacco in general and articplarly to cigarettes. With the constantly ncreasing growth of the cigarette habit the materials which go to their manufacture have teadily shown increased purity and all-round mprovement. Especially is this so with the theaper brands, where the demand has become enormous that the mannfacturers have found
possible to offer the public far finer and more delicate tobacco and yet reap arger harvests of profit. A striking exam. le of this improvement may be found in the progress of the "blend" cigarette. "hese in bygone days, when not offered the ublic at extortionate prices, were practiclly unsmokable and full of the most injaious ingredients. Today we find this entirly changed, and whereas years ago one ould seldom find a doctor who would smoke "blended" or "mixture" cigarette many do to-day without experiencing the slightest
effects or throat irritation. Cigarettes omposed of blended tobaccos—"mixtures" s they are now popularly termed-are now n the market in any number of varieties nd at astonishingly low prices. These "La akia," "Turkish," and "Egyptian" blends, ogether with many Virginian mixtures, are fa purity and value undreamt of by the igarette smoker of moderate means who lived n other days. And their variety in such hat they may be said to cater for all alates. Nearly every shade of taste and roma may be obtained now at a comparaively trifling cost, though, of course, there re certain varieties that will always, from heir inherent qualities of individual fragrance und delicacy, command a price above the
verage. It should also be noticed that the paper has shown an improvement commenurate with the progress of the cigarette's chacco. Coarse, thick sticks or hard paper s now difficnlt to find even in the cheapest igarette packets. The paper is now, with very few exceptions, of a high grade and quality, and entirely devoid of what used to be called "taste."
This general progress is as marked in the bure Virginia cigarette so ubiquitously popu. ar as in the blend varieties and those composed of Turkish and Egyptian tobavco. A Few years ago it was common to hear smokers Domplain that this or the other brand had hope
essly deteriorated, but the remark is seldom or ever made to-day unless someone is referring co certain old-fashioned varieties that have Ilmost entirely fallen out of public favour. The nost universally-smoked packet cigaretteshose, indeed, that may be said by long and ionourable careers to have established for hemselves classic repntations-maintain a teady and level plane of excellence that never luctuates on the downward scale. One buys hem with a perfect and absolute knowledge of vhat one is about to smoke. They enjoy as ertain and unvarying a value as an English overeign, and in this respect it may be acceptd as an undisputed fact that British manuacturers have gone far ahead of their foreign ivals.
Several prominent manufacturers interiewed during the week on the progress of the igarette and its general inprovement attributed he increased excellence to three sources: Competition, finer machinery, and larger ales." It does not seem prossible to better this xplanation. As one manufacturer remarked : The public of to-day has become so fastidious nd has so many brands at its disposal that iere our cigarettes to deteriorate for a single reek our sales would in all probability drop to
half of their present extent. It is a mistake D suppose that the man in the street is no ritic. He knows also when he is not getting it."
to do not hold ourselves responsible for the opinions ox prossed by our correspondents, but wo wish, in a spirit of fair play to all, to permit-within certain necesarry limitsfroo discusalon.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE "EGYPTIAN GAZETTE."
Dear Sir,– Reterring to the recent commeniry upon the pamphlet by Mr. Mitchell Innes
the "Spectator" under the above heading, ermit me through the medium of your valued plumns, to ask a certain party of Englishmen, nd I may add English Officers, who caused auch a commotion by their disgraceful conduct n Saturday evening, if first of all they read he article I refer to, secondly if they consider hey were maintaining "true dignity, true self spect and a true sense of justice." The details
the incident are of such common property hat I need not here reiterate them, sufficient ) say that it made one feelashamed, in the face
all the nationalities represented, to think hat they were of their race.
One other point of view is that such conduct ould not be tolerated in London - then why ere ?
Do they realise, I wonder, that each indivinal is a representative of the English nation nder such circumstances apparently-noti
I have endeavoured not to give too much rominence to the affair, but am only voicing he feeling of several other Englishmen who ere present and whom, I may add, were.

No subject is receiving more public atte |tion at the present time than that of t maintenance of the navy at a proper standa of efficiency. It is recognized that in case I hostilities the United Kingdom would have depend, first of all, and chiefly, upon t warships which guard our shores. The Briti navy must be kept at a sufficient strength repel any possible attack, and the Governme cannot be allowed to carry their pet policy the wholesale reduction of the national e penses to an extent which would weaken o first line of defence. In this connection, tl remarks of Lord Charles Beresford at Liverpo yesterday are worth pondering. His Lordsh has been one of our most successful com manders, and his speeches in reference to ti navy come with the weight that long conne tion with the service and personal knowled of war conditions alone can give. He said we hi a splendid navy. What was necessary to make efficient was to have a striking force . with 8. component parts-battleships, armoured crui ers, cruisers, scouts, and torpedo destroyer] ---always working together, ready for instai | action, and to support that, an efficier reserve which could be by training in peac rapidly and quickly expanded to help thi striking force. Lord Charles went on 1 remark that if there was anything it w his duty to report to the Government I to methods which were inefficient the coui, try might depend upon it that he woul do it. This assurance is one of considerab value, for no Government whether Conserx tive or Liberal, could afford to disgregas the views of a naval expert of such big standing.

Dès l'ouverture votre corbeillejinfluericée par la dépression du marché de Londres et la hausse du taux d'escompte attribuée à un commencement de drainage d'or, opéré par New-York, s'est portée aux ventes, Le Caire par ses ordres importants et nombreux a également pesé sur la situation de sorte que nous avons eu une cote en baisse générale pour les valeurs traitées. Vers la fin, cependant, il y a eu, comme vendredi dernier, une tentative en partie fructueuse pour relever les cours. On n'en cloture pas moins à un nivean sensiblement inférieur à celui de la semaine passée. Les transactions ont porté principalement sur les Estates, l'United, la Delta Land et en quantité plus réduite sur l'Agricole, la 'National Bank et l'Obligation Crédit Foncier. Sur quelques autres il y a eu de la demande, mais peu d'affaires. Certains continuent à parler de réalisations pour expliquer la réaction de ce matin. Toujours est-il que l'ensemble de la spéculation donne des signes de lassitude, en présence des conditions défavorables ou se débat le marché.
Les valeurs dirigeantes ont été particulière. ment éprouvées: l'Agricole a fléchi de 8 1,888 1/32, la National Bank de 20 9/32 à 20, la Delta Light de 9 3/4 à 9 5/8 vendeurs, la Daïra de 12 7/8 à 12 11/16 vendeurs et l'Obligation Crédit Foncier de 301 à 299 l'ancienne et de 258 a 257 la nouvelle
En baisse également les Privilégiées Tramways d'Alexandrie de 143 à 142 , les Jouissances Eaux du Caire de 192 à 190, les Lots Tarcs de 164 à 160, la Banque d'Athènes de 113 à 112 1/2, l'Union Foncière de 4 5/8 à 4 9/16, le Crédit Branco-Egyptien de 4.9/32 à 4 3/16, la Banque d'Orient de 117 à 116 1/2, la Land Bank de 7 1/16 à 7.
Parmi les titres d'ordre secondaire la Delta Land a aussi baissé de 1 15/16 a 13/4, les Estates de 3/4 à 28/32 vendeurs, le Comptoir de 2 15/16 à 2 7/8 l'anoienne et de 2 7/8 à 2. 13/16 la nouvelle, la Cassa di Sconto de 46 à 44 et la fondateur United de 2 1/4 à 2 acheteurs.
En reprise il n'y a que les Nungovich Hotels de 14 11/16 a 14 3/4, la Building Lands, demandée, de 9 9/16 à 2 19/32, l'Heloyan de 1/4 å 9/32, et la Levico de 15/32 à 1/2. 1
Sur le reste de la cote il n'y a pas de changements à signaler.

Mrs. Sarah Coulston, of 7 Quarr, Shepton Mallet, England, says : "Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, have been a boon to me. Follow ing the birth of my 13th child, I was taken, with serious kidney trouble ; there were severe pains in the lojns, and the right side of my body swelled from head to foot.
"For three months was so ill that I couldn't get about the house ; I have sat for hours at a time holding my head, and I have been greatly troubled with dizziness.
"At length I was reduced to such a low and weak condition that I thought I was dying. The doctor did all he could for me, but he was obliged to own that there was no hope for me unless I went into the hospital. However, it was impossible for me to leave the little ones. Happily, my mother told me about Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and on her advice I gave them a thorough trial. From the first they seemed doing me good, and with the fourth box the swellings began to disappear, and the pains were not so bad. I am now better in every way, an the greatest praise is due to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I shall always be pleased to recommend them.
(Signed) "SARAH COULSTON." When the kidneys are well, they filter out from 3 lbs. to 4 lbs. of watery waste (urine) | every day. You can soon tell when this work ig not being properly done, because the impurities will cause urinary disorders, gravel, pain in the back and loins, dizzy spells ; every change of the weather will affect you, making you feel miserable, weak and nervous ; watery swellings may appear beneath the eyes or in the ankles, the sight will be blurred.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills assist in filtering out the poisonous waste, by reviving the activity of the kidneys, and restoring 2 natoral action to the connective organism.
Doan's Kidney Pills, are for sale by all chemists and druggists at 13 P.T. per box.
