took place three weeks before the
opening of 1907, and the superstitious-
ly inclined might ascribe the saving of
all the passengers and crew without
loss of life to the fact that the baneful
year had not yet started.
From German shipping to that of
England, misfortune shifted back
again, and the next ship to SUI
fer the hoodoo was the "Naworth
Castle" an English steamer of 1,70O
tons, which sank off Goodwin Sands
in a collision with the Red Star steam
ship ''Vaterland." The loss exceeded
half a million dollars, and seven lives
were sacrificed In the closing days Of
the month the "Seydlitz," North Ger
man Lloyd steamship, got in bad
traits, and had to be abandoned with
all it's crew. The sailors and passen-
gers were taken off by the British
cruiser "'Diadem,'' and carried to Co
lombo, Ceylon. a.s'.. ~.

What Bryce Would Reform.

Mr.. James Bryce, the new ambas-
sador to the United States from Great
Britain, is not reformer, but he says
that should he at any time be I'm
clined to embark upon a reform move
ment it would be in the direction OF
a revision of names for American and
Canadian cities. He especially alb
hors Implications for the reason that
they lead to confusion in the mails and
telegraph. AS an illustration he said
that while in Canada recently he had
occasion to write a number OF dig
dressed them London" The dig
patches went to London, Ontario, Can
ada. Now he is convinced that there
should be but one London in the
world. Likewise he believes there
should be but one Washington, and he
was surprised to learn that there are
a dozen states in this country that
have Washingtons. A lover of In
dian Eames, the ambassador is of the
opinion that there is no occasion for
duplication in the United States and
Canada, for the Indians have provided
an unlimited supply of ripping mu-
steal names that may be given to cit
les, rivers and other geographical
points. The wisest thing the people
Of Toronto, Canada, ever did, said Mr.
Bryce, was to adopt the present name
of the city Of York, by which the set

MAKER OF MODERN EGYPT
QUITS PLACE OF POWER
Lord Cronaer, the Virtual Ruler of Egypt, Is Sue
ceeded by Lord Gorst. ....

Egypt's virtual maker, Lord Cromer,
has just quit the place of power he
held for twenty-five years in the
khedive's land.
His is the credit of having created
and revived modern Egypt, coun-
try so different from the old land of
the Nile, that only the surviving monu-
ments recall bygone centuries.
He went to the country when it was
as dead as the mummies Of the ancient
Pharoahs. He leaves to-day a pro-
gressive, bustling nation, whose credit
is almost as good as that Of Great
Britain, and whose ruler, the progress
i've khedive, is planning to aid the sue
cessor of Lord Cromer to carry the
work of advance to an infinitely great
er future.
This mighty empire builder, retiring
to rest after almost half century of
service to the crown, is succeeded by
Sir Eldon Gorst Officially Sir Eldon
will wear the title of British Agent to
Egypt" but the place is one of in
finitely more importance than this
somewhat modest term would indicate.
Lord Cromer during his term of Of
flee, was virtually the ruler of the
land Of the Pharaoh. The power of the
khedive is dependent entirely on the
good will of England. 1t was the sui
tan of Turkey, who, in 1867, when the
power of Constantinople was hardly
questioned in Cairo, granted to the
hereditary ruler Of the country the
right to call himself khedive. Success
i've rulers have maintained the term.
In the curiously mixed distribution
of power that is the khedive's portion,
it requires strong hand back of the
throne. This place was filled by Lord
Cromer with amazing skill, for al
though he never yielded a jot of his
authority, he was nevertheless so dip
lomatic that the khedive seldom had
occasion to complain that his functions
were being usurped.
The outgoing agent and the 1ncom-
Ing one are very different in appear
ance and their careers have been along
far different lines
Cromer looks like President Roose-
welt somewhat, though he Is a much
older man. He has the same bulldog

for only a short time before it was
found that Barring was too complete a
Britisher to discharge any Office where
his authority was divided. He was
withdrawn from Cairo and sent to
India. 49,.
But the instant his restraining in
fluence was withdrawn, trouble arose

a number OF riots, and then Arab
Pasha, originally a peasant, headed a
mighty revolt, and in spite of the khe-
dives opposition, seized the city of
Alexandria, with the idea of defending
it against any French or English
troops.
Barring was sent for in haste, and
a British fleet under Admiral Seymour
bombarded Alexandria, which Arab
fired. France had no part in the
prompt steps which England took to
restore order, and in the campaign
that followed under Lord Wolseley,
English troops did all the fighting
Hence when the revolt was downed,
the government of Great Britain in
sisted that the khedive sign a paper
ending the joint control Of England
and France. Then the former nation
assumed the reins of power.
Barring began by breaking up situa-
ton of virtual slavery, and ended the
horrible tortues by which the lower
classes had formerly been kept in sub
lection. He introduced methods of
sanitation which curtailed the ravages
of disease. Then he attempted that
wonderful system Of irrigation which
has turned a wilderness and desert
into blooming garden of agriculture,
whose residents are prosperous farm
ers In this work about the most the
khedive had to do was remain quies-
cent. Nor did Lord Cromer oppose this
queer partial monarch unnecessarily.
Until 1892 he had to do with Khedive
Tewfik. Then an attack of Influential
carried off that ruler, and opened the
succession to his son, Abbas II.
But If the khedive somewhat lacks
in energy, trait that can in part be
excused as the natural languid tenn.
permanent of the South, he is very
amiable, a man with many virtues. He
is most devoted family man, and is
fond of his children.

her way along Long Island sound on a
foggy night, and never had there been
so much fog along the Atlantic sea-
board as was in the past few months,
when she came into collision with a.
schooner. The accident happened off
Watch Hill, Rhode Island, far from
any chance of succor Counting those
drowned, or frozen to death in horri-
BILE anguish, the death list amounted
to 1873.
The "Knowlton," the schooner that
did the damage, picked up only a few
Of the victims of this frightful crash,
and most of the small boats that
strove to make shore, either
swamped or brought in their cargo of
passengers frozen stiff in their night
clothes.
Equally shocking was the loss of
the 'City of Berlin" which came only
few days later This ship left Hor-
witch, Eng, for Rotterdam, Holland,
and had almost made harbor, in Hook
of Holland, during a freezing gale,
when she foundered.
Lifesaving crews, powerless to offer
any aid, unable to make Roadway in
the face, of the terrible sea, saw 200
unfortunates drown.
Right atop of this the French cruis-
er 'Kleber" crashed into the Ameri-
can steamship ''Hugonia" at New Or
leans, and sent her to the bottom
Grew and passengers were saved, but
the loss of the ship amounted to a
sacrifice of a quarter of million
dollars. The same amount was sent
to the bottom of the Mediterranean a.

an Austrian steamship, sank off the

passengers. The Dakota" struck the
reef, listed to one side, and her bow
was completely submerged. The pas
sengers all got ashore and rescued
what luggage was in their staterooms.
Then the ship was deserted. Looters
finished up the work of the rocks, and
by the time rescuers went out to go
over the shipit was found that every
thing had been rif1ed.
The "Congo" and the 'Narrissa,"
two steamships, the latter German,
came together in the mouth of the
Ems river, and the Congo" went to
the bottom. Seven lives were lost, as
well as the ship. ..'
Then came the fearful blowing up Of
the Jena" at Toulon, an accident that
much resembled that incident in Ha-
vana harbor Feb. Is, 1898, when the
Maine" was blown up One hundred
and twenty sailors, officers and ma
rines were either blown to bits or died
later from their injuries.
This wretched list brough March to
close, and April was ushered in. Not
to be outdone, the month of variable
weather provided it's quota of disas-
tiers.
The money loss of the Dakota" had
been estimated by the insurance com.
panies as meaning a matter of five
million dollars. Another million was
added to the list when the "Suevic,"
Of the White Star Line, ran on the
rocks near the Lizard lighthouse, in
Southern England. Every passenger
got ashore.
Somewhat better luck. favored the

Right at the very start of the year,
as soon as January gotunder way, the
list Of accidents began. First the
"Peagworm," British steamship of
800 tons, foundered III the North sea,
and the crew of twenty-four were all
drowned. Immediately after this the
Prince Waldemar," Of the Hamburg
American line, went aground off Plum
Point, Kingston. 5sF ~ We.
This misfortune was ascribed indi-
rectly to the earthquake, which re-
moved a lighthouse that would have
warned the captain Of danger that
threatened from his closeness to the
shore. Not seeing the signal light, he
assumed that everything was all right,
and the result was the grounding.
Fortunately the loss9of life was not
great in this instance, only three being
sacrificed. The property loss, how
ever, was $350,000. Not far from
where the prince Waldemar" went
ashore, within easy gunshot, lies the
wreck of the princess Victoria
Louise which went ashore last De-

that confronted Cromer at the outset
of his administration.
Then Lord Beaconsfield had just
bought up the khedive's Suez canal
shares. Cromer, then Evelyn Barring,
suggested that the first step toward
improving conditions would be the
deposition of the khedive, 1smali. This
was done and khedive more amena-
BILE to modern ideas took his place. ::
In the contention that resulted over
this act, Germany, Russia, Austria and
Italy withdrew from the tangle, leav.
ing England and France to settle mat
tiers and see that justice was done to
the creditors of Egypt. 49,
Barring was made controller to act in
conjunction with the French represen-
ttative. This arrangement continued
