The tour which the Crown Prince of Portugal has just completed in the African colonies of that Power serves to draw attention, says the "Globe," to their quick development of late years after a long period of utter stagnation. In Livingstone's time they seemed to be a mere hunting ground for official incompetence and ignorance. Then came a period when it seemed that only Portuguese pride in her ancient possession prevented her disposing of them at a price to the highest bidder; in that case inevitably England. Now, whether spurred on by the example of more virile neighbours, or roused to new exertions by a fresh lease of energy, it really appears that à new era of progress is in store for the oldest modern colonising nation in Africa. Railways are being built connecting the Eastern and Western Coasts with the still scarcely known interior, and a plan is already sketched out for a junction with the projected British through line. As English engineers and English contractors have the work in hand, it is difficult at present to say how much Portugal herself is responsible for the new order of things, and how much she will profit therefrom. Until she can reform her Colonial Civil Service, whether on lines that have proved successful elsewhere or in her own way, there will not be much fundamental change. That is the rock on which the Portuguese ship of state has always split.

A violent quarrel took place on Monday evening in the Square Ataba el-Hadra, Cairo, between some individuals forming part of a native marriage procession. Nabouts were freely used, and the quarrel was assuming alarming proportions, when shawishes from the Mousky caracol arrived. But the insufficiency of their numbers prevented them from separating the combatants and four of the force were seriously wounded. Reinforcements arrived and the fight was eventually stopped, several arrests being made. The traffie was interrupted for over 30 minutes, and many of the combatants received wounds serious enough to necessitate their being conveyed to the hospital.
In response to many requests the yacht "Thalia" belonging to the above company, will make an extra voyage from Trieste to Alexandria, in accordance with the itinerary of the accelerated line. The "Thalia," which has been specially constructed and fitted for the pleasure voyages organised by the company, will arrive here on the 29th inst. at 6 a.m. and will return to Trieste at 5p.m., the same day. Those who desire to profit by the occasion and make their voyage to Europe in this hand some yaeht should procure their tickets in advance from the Agency of the Company. The prices will be the same as those of the accelerated line, the accomodation being solely first class.
The total area of basin converted last year was 64,556 feddans. The cost of this conversion, including all subsidiary works and the remodelling of the Ibrahimia Canal, was L.E. 698,930.
The latest estimates for the completion of these works were given in the Public Works Report for 1905. I have something to say about the figures given.
This total area of basin converted to the end of 1906—was 286,618 feddans.
The expenditure up to the same period was L.E. 2,466,498. This is equivalent to a rate of rather less than L.E. 9 per feddan. In consequence of the rise in the price of land and labour, the total estimate prepared in 1905, and amounting to L.E. 3,200,000, had in 1906 to be increased by another million, and now stands at LE. 4,200,000.
If to the expenditure to the end of 1906 as above given be added that allotted in the Budget for 1907, namely, LE. 619,000, the total sum expended at the end of the current year will be LE. 3,085,498. This deducted from LE. 4,200,000 leaves a balance to be expended in 1908 and 1909 equivalent to L.E. 1,114,502.
Unless there should be a further rise in the rates for land and labour, this sum will be sufficient to complete the entire conversion works by the flood of 1909. We have, however, no assurance that the present rates may not, in the interim, still further rise. Should this be 80, the estimates must again be re-cast. In some of the earthwork adjudications held last year the rates tendered showed a rise of 60 per cent over the average of those for three preceding years.
In order to improve the irrigation of the | Keneh province during flood it was decided to construct a barrage across the Nile immediately north of the Esneh town. The barrage will be an open weir of 120 bays, each 5 metres wide ; abutment piers 4 metres thick occur at very tenth opening, the intermediate piers being 2 metres thick ; the piers are spanned by arches carrying a roadway 16 metres wide. Two regulating gates, one apper and one lower, each 3 metres high, will be provided for each opening ; double grooves will be so arranged as to allow both gates to drop on to the floor--thus, the upper gate will act as a weir with a movable crest. On the western side a look 16 metres wide, large enough to pass the largest steamers on the Nile, will be provided. The design is similar to that of the Assiout Barrage. All the necessary plant and a considerable quantity of materials were collected during the year offices, dwellings for the staff and workmen, stores and hospitals were all completed. At the beginning of December a commencement was made on the excavation for the east abutment and part of the barrage : ten days later the sadd for enclosing the look on the western bank was started. The works have vigorously pushed on, and a good season's work is anticipated.
The total expenditure, including cost of land and buildings, amounted to L.E. 158,911, most of which was for advancès on plant and materials according to the contract.
The Khedive is expected to leave Constan| tipople on Saturday next and arrive at Alexandria on Tuesday morning.

At the last hearing of the 60 latest cases I brought in the Mixed Tribunals by landlords against tenants for the non-payment of rento; and the counter appeals of unjustifiably increased rents, judgment was given in every case in favour of the landlords.
Further action regarding the question of the purity of the Cairo driking water is being taken by Dr. Hussein Bey Yousri who is for mulating an appeal to the Government. The matter is also to be discussed at the Berlin Medical Congress by Dr. Mohamed Pasha Shoukry.

Given Egypt's sound economic condition, and given a sudden and substantial fall in the values of the first-class Securities due to forced sales to meet a financial crisis-a crisis traceable to clearly-defined causes having no relation to the intrinsic value of the said first class securities my argument, broadly stated, is that a most favourable opportunity-which should be promptly seized-has been created for bonä fide, British investors to place money in Egyptian securities, subject always to the desirability of maintaining that properly-balanced geographical distribution of capital which is nowadays accepted as a first principle of sound investment. Many who ventured to invest capital in Egypt during the past winter did so on the crest of a boom-wave and did not take the precaution to thoroughly and carefully examine the security offered. To-day they should first satisfy themselves as to the absolute soundness of the statement contained in this article, and then promptly act. Now, I submit that I have clearly established that Egypt's economic condition is excellent and that forced sales of good Egyptian securities have taken place. It remains but to show that the securities I shall enumerate are intrinsically sound. w. . .
We will first consider the standing of the National Bank of Egypt, which was created by Khedivial decree in 1898. The capital is three millions, in £10 shares, fully paid-up, and the reserve fand already stands at a million and a balt-a creditable record. A further Khedivial decree was issued last June authorising an increase of £500,000 in the Bank's capital. (As to the issue of the new shares I will comment later on). The Governor is an Englishman, but the Board of Directors is cosmopolitan, and counts among its members many of the names best known in high financial circles in Egypt. It is not actually a State Bank, though it has the practical monopoly of nearly all the Government business, but very shortly its already intimate relations with the State will be drawn yet nearer. For as late as last March Lord Cromer reported that "the negotiations with the National Bank of Egypt, with the object of establishing closer relations between that institution and the Government, have made considerable progress," and I am credibly informed that since that date the points then remaining unsettled have been arranged, and that the final agreement now but awaits signature by the contracting parties. Among the principal advantages which will accrue to the Bank are that the Government will hereafter deposit with the Bank the entirety of its balances, an arrangement which will, inter alia, effect great economy in regard to the transport of specie, and that the Bank's business in the country districts will doubtless expand and extend.
One of the main reasons which primarily induced the Government to assent to the creation of the National Bank was a desire to facilitate the solution of the question of the indebtedness of the fellaheen by endeavouring to rescue the peasants from the clutches of the rapacions village usurers. The measures taken were at first tentative and confined to certain districts. In 1899, 1,580 advances, amounting in all to £4,780, were made by the Bank at reasonable rates. By 1901 the number of advances had increased tenfold, and aggregated over £400,000, and the operations having thus rapidly multiplied a separate institution was started to take over all the National Bank's outstanding loans and to further extend the system.
This institution was named the Agricultural Bank of Egypt, and it has to-day an authorised share capital of £3,740,000 (all issued and fully paid up), and an authorised Debenture Capital of £6,570,000 in 81% Bonds, directly guaranteed by the Government of Egypt. There are 496,000 Ordinary shares of £5 each. The Governor of the National Bank is the Chairman. It was agreed that 9% interest might be charged on the advances made by the Bank, but that no loan to any one individual should exceed £300. Recently this limit has been slightly extended. It was further stipulated that when the loans should reach a total of seven millions sterling the maximum rate of interest charged to the peasants should be reduced to 8%; and the Bank's business bas in the last five years increased so marvellously that the seven millions total has already been attained, and the lower rate of interest actually came into force as from 1st of January, 1907. Powerfully, indeed, does the Bank assist towards the elimination of the village, usurer and towards the consequent sounder prosperity of the country - first by advances of selected seed (in kind) and then by loans to the peasant farmers during the time their crops are in the ground. With most praiseworthy regularity the advances of seed are paid for and the loans reimbursed with interest as soon as the crops come to maturity and are sold. The net profits of the Agricultural Bank amounted to £558,275 for the financial year 1906, and the last dividend declared, on the Ordinary shares, was 9% for the year.
The world's money market, I admit, is fickle, sensitive and syo pathetic fickle, in that often, when the balance of probability points indubitably to a rise or a fall, the market without apparent reason will jump the other way; sensitive, in that it at once feels and reflects the slightest distant shock, is buoyant or depressed, according to the rising or falling of the political barometer, nay, even bright of doll weather at times affects it; and sympathetic, in that a happy tone in certain stooks will communicate itself to other shares having
no possible connection with the rising market, and vice versd. Therefore, it is evident that bond fide investors who are prepared to look up their securities have a substantial advantage over the would-be profit-snatchers, who, though acting on information which is often in the main correct, nevertheless come to untimely grief through not being able to hold on long enough.
Serious investors who buy sound securities may be likened to farmers who sow good seed in properly-prepared soil. As the farmer, in the almost certain expectancy of an abundant crop, waits patiently for his harvest, so likewise the investor, who, before placing his funds assures himself of the soundness of his purchase, may contentedly possess his soul in patience. True it is that the farmer's crop, owing to climatic or other cases, may not always fulfil bis brightest dreams, and equally certain is it that the influences mentioned above the fickleness and sensitiveness of the money market-may reduce, or postpone, the investor's hoped-for profits. Yet, taking one year with another, the careful farmer will find little to complain of, and the prudent investor must succeed in the long run.
(To be continued.)
We are authorised to emphatically contradict the report appearing in the French edition of "L'Egypte" ("Egyptian Morning News") that the object of Borton Bey's visit to Cyprus was other than that of taking a short holiday. "Irregularities," says our contemporary "have been detected in the postal service of the island, prejudicial to the Egyptian Postal Administration, and Borton Bey has visited these places in order to follow the progress of the enquiry opened by the consular authorities, the result of which is not yet known." Such a statement, we are informed, is entirely erroneous and misleading, and Borton Bey's short visit to Cyprus was in no way for official purposes.
Considerable discussion has been caused by the many changes which are rumoured as about to take place in the official world, and though we shall probably find a few of these will not become an accomplished fact for a considerable length of time, it is undoubtedly the case that there will be vacancies in offices of every grade before many months have elapsed. The resignation of Sir Vincent Corbett was somewhat of a surprise when his intention became known, and the appointment of Mr. Hervey considerably astonished many onlookers, but this has rightly been approved by the public, and, as we remarked at the time, Mr. Hervey is eminently qualified to fill the onercus post of Financial Adviser. Regarding other posts of high grade, which are about to be vacated in the near future, rumour is very busy with names. We have heard it remarked that there is danger of too much new blood being introduced into the country, and of the men of experience being superseded by those whose knowledge of the country and its conditions is not sufficiently wide, but we are confident that the selection of new or old officials for the various posts may be safely entrusted to Sir Eldon Gorst.
The marriage took place yesterday at Mustapha Pasha Barracks of Serjeant-Instructor, Gymnasium, Bertram D. Matthews to Miss Charlotte F. Nunn, daughter of Mr. J.F. Nunn, of Mustapha, the service being solemnised by the Rev. Norman Lee, M.A., Senior Chaplain to the Forces. The service was fully choral and the Garrison Church was crowded with friends of the bride and bridegroom. The bride was looking very pretty in a handsome dress of white silk voile over satin, with an orange blossom wreath, and wearing two heavy gold bangles, the gift of the bridegroom. The | bridesmaids were Miss Lena and Mabel Nunn, sisters of the bride, and the duties of best man were filled by Quartermaster Starks, R.E. After the ceremony a reception was held in the gymnasium school and was attended by some 200 guests. The band of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers gave a very good programme during the afternoon, under the batôn of Band-Sergeant A. Crook. The presents, which included several cheques from relations and friends in England, were numerous and the proceedings were concluded with a dance which was greatly enjoyed by all. The guests were most hospitably entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Nuon. The wedding was attended by many officers of the Mustapha force, and the newly-wedded couple left for their honeymoon, which will be spent in Cairo, amidst the cheers and re-iterated best wishes of their friends.
A match will be shot on Thursday next, 19th inst., on the Range at Mustapha, between teams from the Sergeants, King's Royal Rifles, and the British Rifle Club, (Alex) commencing at 8 pm.
The S.S. "Highland Prince," with passengers and general cargo, left Malta on the 17th instant, and is due to arrive at Alexandria on Saturday,
At the time of his lamented defense the eminent orientalist Prof. 8. Arthur Strong was engaged on behalf of the "Royal Asiatic Society" in editing a complete text of the famous work known to Arabio students of the historian Abu-l-Abbas Ahmad ibn Arabshah, which is a sort of panegyric of the celebrated Sultan of Egypt, Jaqmaq. This laudatory book upon this celebrated Mameluke ruler was composed when he had occupied the throne only two years, but Ibn Arabshah says he had written the biography of Timour, the destructor of mankind, and while he was spared to do farther work be wished to draw a picture of a just and righteous monarch such as Jaqmaq was, "the father of his people and a terror only to the enemies of Islam."
The book was written in Hegira 843 and 4, that is about A.D. 1489 and is a composition exhibiting the very finest specimens of Arabic prose. The British Museum possesses & superb manuscript of the text first described in the catalogue of acquisitions of Arahie manuscripts of 1894.
At Profr. Strong's death he had only finally edited the first two chapters; the matter was then generously undertaken by Shams ul Ulama Sayyid Ali Bilgrami, but serious ill health bas prevented his completing the task. The "Royal Asiatic Society" has therefore printed the Arabic text of Profr. Strong's revision in their Journal for 1907, hoping that Sayyid Ali will soon complete the work, when it will be published as & volume.
Sultan Jaqmaq does not appear to have been quite worthy of Ibn Arabshah's encomiums, for he imprisoned the latter upon a calumnious charge when seriously ill, and though released in five days from durance, he died twelve days later August 25th A.D. 1450.
Early Arablo printing at
Cairo.
The learning and culture of the Arabic scholars of Cairo in the early 14th century are well known, and the valuable editions of Arabio literature produced by the printing presses of the Egyptian capital are to be found in every great oriental library.
An instance of this is afforded in a recent essay by Profr. D. S. Margoliouth entitled "Contributions to the biography of Abd-elKadir of Jilan", founder of the celebrated Kadiri order of Moslems. He was a saint and most powerful religious orator, who like modern revivalists exercised his powers of persuasion among the criminal classes of the great city of the Caliphs.
For his treatise Profr. Margoliouth utilises a life of Abd-el-Kadir composed in Hegira 980 by Mahommed Ibn Yahya and printed at Cairo in 1303, another biography of the saint originally written in Persian but translated into Arabic and printed in Cairo in A D. 1800. But the most complete foundation for the historic career of Abd el Kadir of Jilan is al work written by a teacher of Al Azhar who lived only about 80 years after the saint. This author was Nur al-Din Abul Hasan Ali Ibn Yusuf, whose book was printed in Cairo in 1304.
The manuscript edited by Profr. Margoliouth is in the Boldeian Library and its contents were evidently known to the scholar of al Azhar, who sometimes made copies from it.

The reports concerning the situation of the "Olivemoor" continue to be favourable and the prospects of an early salvage, which we held out in our issue of yesterday, are well sustained by the weather conditions which are as good as could be desired. After spending last night in harbour the "Berger Wilhelm" returned to the "Olivemoor" at daybreak this morning, taking ont with her a lighter for the reception of cargo to be discharged. About 7 4. m. the salvage steamer flew two flags, as a signal, it is supposed, for a second lighter, as shortly afterwards one was taken out by a Ports and Lights tug. Pumping operations are still going Con and the cargo is actively being discharged. The salvage steamer is to-day for the first time alongside the "Olivemoor", so that operations are now greatly facilitated. Official reports still bold out every hope that the vessel will be got off the rocks to-morrow, .
A Cairo correspondent sends us the following appreciation of the work of Professor Loos, recently honoured by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine : -All who know Professor Loos of the Public Health Department, Cairo, will be glad to hear of the honour conferred upon him by the award of a medal by the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine. The Liverpool School bus promoted some of the most user experiments yet undertaken and the mark of their approval as manifested in the present instance is indeed a, token of esteem and an honour of which our fellow townsman might well be prond. Professor Loos is one of the most unassuming men in the Government service and seeks not the light of publicity ; rather would he hide his light under a bushel and all his friends will rejoice to hear that his devoted efforts have met with recognition

Nous lisons dans le "Bulletin Mensuel du Swiss Bankverein " l'appréciation apivante des tendances da marehe monétaire international:
"Dans une poussée continue, tous les pays civilisés, et particulièrement les pays indus triels, ont depuis plusieurs anndes, pour pro fiter de la situation économique favorable, aug. menté leur activité, développé leur onpacité de production et utilisé toutes leurs forone concentrées. Les moyens disponibles n'y ont cependant pas suffi. Il ne faut pas oublier cette cir. constance pour bien comprendre la difficulté de la situation qui a catted partout des sentiments d'inquiétude et de crainte, mais qui est la conséquence naturelle dos demandes consi dérables qui ont surgi de tous les cotée. Bien que l'automne dernier il fut deja clair qu'on et mis en frein & un développonent rapide, que les limites raisonnable par le capital cient de dépasti, on t'out encore la conception trde netto, même dans les milieux de bonne heure au courant, de la ton
sion aiguë du crédit international. La soliderité des marchés a's presque jamais apparusussi clairement que depuis l'année dernière. Les besoins pressants d'argent se sont fait sentir presque sans interruption, partout de la même manière et se sont manifestés par un monvement de tension de plus en plusaccentué,
Le fait que, malgré les secousges violentes éprouvées, aucun soutien de l'édifice n'a été ébranlé, montre la solidité des puissances finandières internationales et la consolidation des bases de la situation économique du monde. Ces temps derniers on a souvent accusé l'Amérique d'etre la cause de tous les troubles et d'être le pays qui nous dispense peu de soleil, mais beaucoup de tempête et d'orages. S'il est - vrai que les demandes énormes d'argent de la part de l'Amérique depuis l'année dernière ont désorganisé les marchés monétaires enropéens au point de renverser la situation de dépendance de l'Amérique vis-à-vis de l'Europe, il ne faut pas perdre de vue que l'Europe et les autres pays qui sont financièrement sous sa dépendance (Egypte, Amérique du Sud, etc.) ont marché tellerpent vite qu'ils ont cessé d'aller de pair avec la formation de nouveaux capitaux.
Cependant, lå Banque d'Angleterre a, aussi bien par des avis discrets qu'en elevant le taux d'escompte à 41% donné le signal de la prudence et s'est défendue des attaques dirigées contre ses réserves d'or; ceci a eu pour résultat d'attirer dans ses caisser la plupart des arrivées d'or. On est pourtant préparé à voir, dans un temps peu éloigné, le taux d'escompte s'élever à 5%, mais il ne semble pas que la tension monétaire doive devenir aussi accentuée que l'année dernière, car actuellement déja, on reconnait partout la nécessité de prendre des précautions."

It is stated that General Drade's conditions include the surrender of the tribesmen impli. cated in the massacre, and the payment of an indemnity for the massacre and the sacking of Casablanca. Hostages are held as a guarantee of good faith. Four tribes near Casablanca treating with the French are willing to give bostages, and areasing their influence for peace with other tribes. Delegates from the tribes are still coming in, suing for peace. M. Regnault has received the Consular body bere. He stated that he hoped peace would shortly be restored and also good relations with the Arabs in the interior. (Reuter)
The delegates of the tribes have accepted the following conditions: the prohibition of arms within a dozen kilometres of the town, in case of fresh trouble the disarming of the tribes, the surrender of the authors of the assassinations on July 30, each tribe will supply a chief as bostage; the indemnity of the war will be discussed later on.

The executive of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants have issued ballots to members with regard to the question of a general strike, which it strongly recommends. The ballot papers are returnable on 28th October, and the decision of the executive council thereon is expected by 1st November. The crux of the crisis lies in the absolute refusal of the bulk of the Companies to recognise the Society in negotiations with the employees with reference to the latters' demands. The Liberal papers urge the Railway Companies to recognise the Society. The Conserva tive papers express the hope that even if the ballot approves the strike the interval between now and then will be utilized to secure conciliation and avert a national calamity. The prevailing belief is that there will be no strike. (Reuter)
NEWS OF MIKKELSEN.
The latest news received in Victoria (B.C.) of Captain Mikkelsen seems to be at variance with the recent report which has reached London from Winnipeg. It is beyond a doubt that particulars of Captain Mikkelsen have been received later than those contained in his letter written to Sir Clements Markham. Mr. D. Cadzow, a fur trader, living a solitary life within the Arctic circle at Ramparts House, on the Porcupine River, near the mouth of the McKenzie River, visited Victoria on his annual visit in June of the present year. He travelled down as far as Dawson City with a doctor who had come straight to Kampart House from Herschel Island. At Herschel Island, icebound, was a whaler. The captain of this whaler had been visited by Captain Mikkelsen and a member of his party.
It was ascertained from Mr. Cadzow that Captain Mikkelsen had heard from some source, probably from the Stalwarth race of the Esquimos (or "Huskies") of the district, about the whaler being at Herschel Island. The object of the captain's visit was to obtain the opinion of the whaler's captain as to the practicability of his exploration. Also to find out the best course to take to make his venture a success. The whaler gave very little encouragement to Captain Mikkelsen. In fact, it was the opinion on Herschel Island that the exploration party must fail in their object. This is also the opinion of everyone in this region who has lived for a lengthy period in the Arctic circle.
It would also appear from the account of Mr. Cadzow that the Duchess of Bedford bad passed Herschel Island, endeavouring to make for Albert Island, but had been ice-bound between that island and the mouth of the McKenzie River. At least, one point is certain, the party were not wintering in any bay or part of an island, but had been frozen in for the winter in the Arctic Ocean one hundred miles or more from Herschel Island, and if the latest accounts received in Victoria are to be relied upon, to the east, and not to the west, of Herschel Island
Mr. Cadzow is an old veteran of the Arctic Zone. He is accustomed to long journeys in the depth of winter. He travels, for instance, 480 miles for his mails, accompanied by a native Indian. He has to walk this distance on foot. He has his dog sleigh to carry provisions for himself and his companion. But no tent is carried. Everything must be done to lessen the weight for the dogs. He goes out for weeks at a time henting up natives engaged in collecting furs for himAll these natives live upon is dried meat. This does not occupy much bulk. Even old Hudson Bay men in the old days were only allowed 100 pounds of flour for the whole fort. This is dispensed with in real work amongst the mountains within the Arctic zone by the natives. So long as they can have their dried meat that is all they require. It may be said this is their habit. Mr. Cadzow contends that this habit must be acquired. He therefore ridicules any exploration undertaken on a different hasis. He says it is simply ludicrous to see the amount of provisions piled up for the use of exploratory parties. In short, he asserts that such parties can never hope to explore a district any distance from their base! This is about all they can accomplish until they learn to subsist on dried meats and to lessen the loads for the dogs.

A few weeks ago was published a report by Sir Eldon Gorst and Mr. Llewellyn Smith on the system of British Commercial Attachés and Commercial Agents. The report suggested a few changes in the system. It proposed that Commercial Attachés should have their headquarters in London and should be made to oiroulate, spending a portion of their time at the Board of Trade or at the Commercial Department of the Foreign Office, a second portion in touring the manufacturing districts of the United Kingdom and a third portion in "special investigations" abroad. Commercial Agents, the report suggests, might be abolished, and their duties transferred to one of the young diplomatists attached to an Embassy, to whom should be given extra pay and the title "Secretary in Charge of Commercial Matters." We do not pretend to believe that the changes proposed in the report will affect for good or for evil the trade of the United Kingdom. The question whether the Foreign Office onght to do more than it does for British trade has often been discussed, as it seems to us to little purpose. The net result has been that Consuls have been obliged to compile reports on the trade of their districts, that these reports are printed and published, and that trade benefits little or not at all from them. Other consequences have been the increase of the number of Commercial Attaches and the appointment of Commercial Agents, of which the result is the report to which reference has been made advising the abolition of the Agents and the transformation of the duties of the Attachés.
There are two views of the functions of the State in regard to the foreign trade of the nation. The tradition of the laisser fain school is to let trade alone-that is, to let traders take care of themselves. It may be described as the Nineteenth Century view and has been accepted hitherto by all British Governments. The other view is that the State should try to promote the foreign trade of the country and to help traders to push their business abroad. The difference between the two views is mainly one of theory. The laissez faire doctrine assumes that the State cannot manage trade, and that its assistance is no assistance but an impediment. The other school has never in the last eighty years had much chance of practising its precepts, which admit of two interpretations. One is that which made Consuls send reports on trade and appointed Commercial Agents. According to this view the State should help trade by employing a number of its officers as commercial travellers in the interest of all trades in general and of none in particular. It is not a very wise plan, because the commercial traveller to be effective should be a specialist; he should represent not trade in general, but boots, or Manchester goods, or reaping-machines, or some other article of which he can be the qualified missionary. We are not satisfied with this interpretation of the State's mission to assist the foreign trade of the country. There is a different interpretation, which we prefer. If the State has a mission to assist the foreign trade of the country it may carry it out by employing for the purpose, not a staff of amateur commercial travellers, but the national policy. That is a conception which has very slowly penetrated the minds of British statesmen. Indeed it is doubtful whether any British Minister or any public man of the first rank ever accepted the idea in any form until Mr. Chamberlain took up his policy of Tariff Reform, and even that policy os propounded by him was not so much based on the conception of employing the national policy to promote British trade as on that of utilising the State's power to regulate trade as a means of promoting a policy. The employment of the national policy for the promotion of the national trade has long been the practice of the German Government. A good example is the subsidies given by the German Government to lines of steamers. About twenty-four years ago Bismarek proposed to the Reichstag and induced that body to consent to a system of subsidies to German steamers trading to the Pacific. The intention was to push German trade and to give it advantages over the trade of other Western nations. The result has been an enormous growth of German trade to the Par East. If the British Government had conceived of its mission as including the assistance of British trade in competition with the State aided trade of other nations, the German subsidies would have been immediately followed by larger subsidies to British steamers on the same routes and by the repayment of the Suez Canal dues to British steamers. But the British Governments of those days could not grasp the idea that a British Government is there to do all it can for Great and Greater Britain. The minds of politicians were cramped by certain traditions which prevented them from taking an unbiased look at the world or observing what was going on in that interest ing, but to them remote, region, of which the boundary is for some of them the gates of the Houses of Parliament and for others the shore of this island
It can hardly be the State's affair to do a tradesman's business for him. That conception of the function of the State makes the State itself a trader and leads directly to communism. But it may well be the State's function to secure fair play for its traders. A State which respects itself must be supposed to say to every foreign State, that its own traders shall receive not privileges denied to others or even equality with native traders, but treatment as good as is given to any foreign traders, whatever. This is, of course, the idea at the basis of the "most favoured nation," clause in commercial treaties. But the British Nineteenth Century doctrine of the State's action in behalf of trade was that the State should regard trade
as a special sphere in which only trade should be considered, and that therefore most favoured nation treatment should be sought for through commercial negotiations only, except in the case of places outside the European sphere, where force was freely used to secure equality of commercial opportunity. A truer conception would have been that which assumes that all the resources of the national policy will be used to secure fair play for the national trade in every country and in every market. The advantage of this conception is twofold. It gives the trader confidence by making him know that his Government will exert itself to to secure him against unfair action of other Governments in favour of his competitors, but it also gives the trader the consciousness that he has obligations to his Government and must stand by it. The question was much discussed a year two ago whether British manufacturers had a duty to allow their workmen, being Volunteers, time to attend drills and maneuvers. If the State has no duty to trade the manufacturer may forget his duty to the State. But if the State considers the national trade one of the interests for the maintenance of which it must act then it is clear that the manufacturer in his turn must make sacrifices to enable the State to fulfil its mission of having a policy, and supporting it when necessary with all its resources.

(BALLANTYNE AND HANSON. 2s.)
This is a polemie pamphlet, eloquent to the point of being almost perfervid, dealing with the present state of the Bulgarian question. It takes the form of an open letter to Sir Charles Dilke, and is from the pen of Mr. Neocles Akasis, a professor of the University of Athens, who, apart from his scholastic distinctions, is already well known in this country as the author of "Hellenism and Macedonia," published some three years ago. Mr. Akasis, of course, writes from the Greek point of view, and the argument which he advances is no new one. He seeks to assure the British public, with all the energy at his disposal, and also with the assistance of a considerable amount of documentary evidence, that the unfortunate differences still fermenting between the Greeks and Bulgarians are altogether the fault of the last-named nation, and that the honour of civilised Europe is concerned with the preservation of a state of affairs in which the Greeks shall be enabled to enjoy their homes in peace. The quarrel, he maintains, is not religious or sectarian, and he dismisses, with evident dissatisfaction, a letter from our Archbisbop of Canterbury to the Metropolitan of Athensa letter which is certainly not altogethet secure from the imputation of a sage desire to sit upon the fence until affairs shall be in a more settled and pacific condition. Mr. Akasis, on the other hand, sits upon no fence at all, but enters the arena, sword in hand. He maintains that the Bulgarian outrages upon Christian Greeks constitute a flaunting insult to civilisation, and summonses the States of Europe to inquire into a system of crime which, if committed by yellow, black, or red races, would have called forth the prompt intervention of an international crusade. Finally, he points out that, if to be forewarned was to be forearmed, the British Government has for years had before it the strenuous counsel of the late Lord Salisbury, who was never tired of insisting upon the inevitable evils which would spring from a policy of laissez faire where Bulgarian aggrandisement was concerned. The present appeal is addressed :o Sir Charles Dilke, as one of the strongest and most intellectual spirits of Great Britainstrong in the face of falsehood and hypocrisy, unbending and invincible in the support of truth." It is impossible within the limits of a brief notice to review the various and complex arguments adduced, but it may be said with bare justice that so vigorous a piece of pleading is bound to attract attention, and to influence public opinion in the affairs of Eastern Europe.
It is officially announced that Rear Admiral Francis J. Foley has been selected for appointment as Rear Admiral in the Channel Fleet in succession to Roar Admiral Robert S. Lowry.
Rear Admiral Foley, who was promoted to his present rank in July, 1906, was bom in December, 1855, and entered the Royal Navy from H.M.S. Britannia in 1868. Prom 1876 to 1880 he was employed in the suppression of slave traffic on the African coast, and after wards served in the "Inflexible" during the Egyptian War, being present at the bombardment of Alexandria in July, 1882, for which he was awarded the Egyptian medal and the Khedive's star. He was "Gazetted" commander in 1879 and appointed to the "Barracouta," and whilst serving in this cruiser he hoisted the British flag on the island of Tobago, and formally annexed it to the British Crown. He has qualified as an interpreter in Swahili, Persian, and Hindustani, and was a member of the Committee for the Revision of Signal Books.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A BRITISH RESIDENT IN NIGERIA.
According to intelligence received from Northern Nigeria, a force had been despatched against the warlike Dakkenkeri tribe, and was operating in their country at the end of July,
One of the British residents in the province, while on an assessment tour with a small escort of police, was camped for the night inside a walled Dakkenkeri town, when he heard of a plot to assault the cainp and murder the whole party during the night. Under cover of darkness be immediately escaped with bis people, and succeeded in getting clear of the gates before the tribesmen became aware of their flight. The Dakkenkeris savagely pursued, captured and maimed all the horses, seized the whole of the baggage and kit, including the bedding, and wounded some of the force with poisoned arrows. Fortunately none of the Resident's party was killed or seriously hurt, but they arrived at headquarters at Yelwa, on the Niger, in a very exhausted condition, possessed of nothing beyond the clothes they wore, having only reached safety after an arduous and continuous march of 48 hours.
Upon this matter being reported to Zongeri, after the matter had been inquired into the High Commissioner despatched a force against the aggressors, but details bave not yet been received of the progress of the operations.
