further advance and the final coup that will
fix the British in control of the whole Upper
Nile and eastern Soudan country.
Every step OF the way has been marked by
indications OF an intention of the permanent
occupancy OF the country by the British.
Having gained with the aid of their gunboats
the control of the Nile as far as Berber, and
planted garrisons at all the important points,
they have proceeded to construct a railway
80 miles in length across the Nubian Desert,
from Korosko below the second cats-
ract, 10 Abu Hamed, above the fourth
cataract, by means of which they not only
avoid the three most difficult and dangerous

supplies, but shorten the distance between the
advance and the base at Assuan, below the first
cataract, several days and some three hundred
miles, making communication safe and speedy,
and operations of the army possible the greater
part OF the year instead OF few short months,
as heretofore.
Ahead OF the railroad, however, lines for
telegraph and telephone were thrown across
the desert, and very soon after occupying Abu
Hamed General Kitchener found himself in

THE BRITISH BLUE BOOK.

Mr.. Chamberlain's Blue Book, issued few
days ago, shows that foreign rivals are sapping
British trade with the colonies, as is evident
from the fact that of the colonial imports from
1888 to 1885, the United Kingdom furnished
f62. .691, 900, the British possessions s39, ,0S3,
and foreign countries ESQ, 157 600 For three
years, end;ng with 1890. the figures were:
United KinVdom. SCI, 126 600: british posses
9S3 900; and TOR the three years ending with
S95 were: United KINGDOM, f56, 500, 900;
British possessions, sac, ,832 600, and foreign
countries, G42. 677 900. AS evidence of
this an English journal says that while short
time ago England monopoliZed the trade in
miners picks, makers persisted in sending out
a clumsy article, and now the Americans have
taken nearly the whole OF the trade with a
neater instrument. Although English makers
have exerted themselves to turn out better
article, they find it very difficult TO make up
the ground they have lost.
