All these services are direct and en-
able the Egyptian buyer, to secure his

and without danger of breakage owing
to q transshipment. A further dis
advantage which the importer OF
American goods at Alexandria has had
to contend with in the past by reason
of the absence of direct freight COM
munication with the United States is
the delay that results by a laying oyer
of the goods at the port of trans
shipment. A dealer in American fufni-
ture informed h consulate that a re-
cent consignment of American office
furniture was thirty-two days in tran
sit from New York to Alexandria via
Naples. That meant a delay of over
two weeks at Naples, as it is often pos
sible to do this trip in sixteen days.
The difficulties incident to the eS-
p~ansion of American trade where no
direct freight service is maintained
may be understood from the foregoing
outline of some of the advantages en-
joyed by alert competitors, and it is
confidently believed by the promoters
of the New York-Alexandria direct line
that American exporters will avail
themselves of this new service in send
ing their goods to Egypt. The vessel
just from New York is the Embiricos,

study to the question of making Alex
andria a port of call EN- route to New
York.
Ten million dollars worth of raw}cot-
ton is shipped annually from Alex
andria to the United States, and ham
ding that freight appeared attractive.
Ali this cotton is now sent first to
Liverpool and there transshipped to
United States ports. The local cotton
exporters were approached with the
view of presenting inducements in the
way of lower freights, a quicker de-
livery and without transshipment. The
reply was the lam from every cotton
seller. They We're bound by long con-
tracts with British steamship COM
panies to ship the cotton sold to the
United States via Liverpool. In the
absence of direct steamers to America
they had no alternative but to make
contracts with these lines upon practi-
cally such terms as were dictated by
the British companies. Some OF these
existing contracts are for terms of sew
eral years. others for shorter periods.
With sufficient freight to justify the
continuance of the project, a regular
and permanent service from New York
to Alexandria will be established. The
National Steam Navigation Company
is prepared to make a rate OF Sc per
ton for general merchandise from
Philadelphia and New York to Alex
andria. The company has a fleet OF
five steamers, four of which are cargo
boats and one of 10000 ions for botf
freight and passengers. Another large
steamship is now in course Of con-
struction. Any or all Of these may bs

THE GOVERNOR AND I
Ell WATER QUESTION

the duty of the officer, if he had previously learned that the man
had in the nearest tavern declared his purpose of burglary. What
is the difference in the case of a water company that is openly pre-
paring to divert water out of the State in violation of the law?
Should the law officers wait until the deed is done and meanwhile
put no restraint on the volator, although the intent has been pro
claimed? The water company seized upon an incidental remark
by the chief justice as to the difference between surface and sub
surface water as a cover for the attempt to connect its pipes with
Staten Island. Governor Fort does not believe the court meant
to embody that remark in his judicial opinion and to hold that
well water was exempt from the law. And, even if the court did
so mean ii, the opinion is renewable by the higher court, and,
therefore, is not conclusive. The matter has now been brought
to a point where it can be threshed out. The issue is to be de-
termined whether the East Jersey Water Company is above the
law and whether the municipalities of the State and the States
water policy are to be subordinated to the interests of a private
water combine.

First Vessel Carrying Coal and
Corn to Alexandria Shows
Possibilities of Plan.

A COMMERCIAL event which Con-
"A sui D. r. Birch thinks may
prove of immense Importance to the
development of American trade with
Egypt and the Soudan is the recent
arrival at Alexandria of a 5,ooo-ton
steamship direct from Philadelphia
and New York loaded with American
coal and corn, concerning which he
says:
The features of this yenture-the
direct freight service, the introduction
into Alexandria of American coal n
of American each In the
nature of an experiment, and upon
the results achieved will probably de-
pend the future business. 1t is recog-
nized in Alexandria, by commercial
men familiar with the trade situation,
that the first step toward the increased
SALE in Egypt of both raw and manu-
featured American products is a regu-
lar and frequent service of. freight
steamers direct from New York to
Alexandria. Its lack has been the
greatest drawback to the expansion OF
American trade here.
The Egyptian customs figures place
the value of American imports at
Alexandria for 1908 at $1.0ls.o40, but
there are many indications that this
figure was low and not representative
of the volume of American business
done with this port. 1t is the practise
Of the local customs authorities to

should know how to ride in the saddle, in view of future advance
