Bubonic Plague at Alexandria Pre-

Rev. Stanley B. Roberts Of the Bethle-
hem Presbyterian church, who is with the
DELEGATES returning from the international
Sunday school convention at Jerusalem,
writes The J ourn AL from Liberals,
Singh and Cairo
Leaving Smyrna, Mr.. Roberts proceeded
to the Isle Of Patmos, Cyprus, Beirut.
From the last were seem the Lebanon
mountains, Baalbec, Damascus and other
places made memorable by incidents re-
corded in the scriptures and by more mod
ern events.
Thirty-tw men and eight women
formed a camping party on the banks Of
the Abann. Mr., Roberts and A. P. Stacy,
representing Minneapolis. The equipment
contained f1fty-three horses, forty nine
mules and twenty donkeys. Two drago-
men and forty muleteers and walters were
attached. 49,.
From Damascus a trip was made to the
mines of Caesarea Phillip. passing the
spot where Saul, later Paul, was blinded.
The party saw the source Of the Jordan
and the Sea Of Galilee and the Valley
Of Genessaret. Alexandria was reached
from Joppa April 81. and Cairo soon after.
Mr.. Roberts writes: -s'..a.. &
Zone of the most interesting sights in
Cairo is the great university. 1t Is the
chief seat of Mohammedan learning.
There are said to be $4,000 students and
600 professors. but I think this is an eX-
aggeration. It u.s. however, an immense
school, The Koran. arithmetic and geog-
raphy make up the entire curriculum.
1t is necessary for each graduate to be
able to repeat the ia chapters Of the
Koran without mistake. The professors
sit crosslegged on the raised platforms
while the students sit or recline about
them. The noise is indescribable; 1t is
a veritable pandemonium The head pro-
fessor goes about with club beating the
students, some Of them men past middle
age, to keep them in order. I thought
of the CONSERVATION such tactics would
cause in Minnesota university"
Mr.. Roberts adds later matters Of loca
interest:

India and upper Egypt, so that the gates
of Alexandria will be closed to us ant
we will to-day hasten on to Rome.
