Ten years ago this month a new era dawned. for the Soudan, It was on September 4, 1808, that the Birdar (then Sir Herbert, Kitchener) hoisted the British and Egyptian flags side by side at Khartoum as a sign to the world that the years of weary waiting and anxiety warn at an end and that the Soudan had been recon-naceuarily imply that bad weather is wag quered.

The Soudan already pays to the Egyptian Treasury interest annually at the rate of 3 per cent on fan];estimated capital of £1,500,000. The actual outlayižis probably thrice that sum, but as years golby the interest charge will be increased,
The battle of Omdurman and the hoisting of the Anglo-Eygptian flag at Khartoum were the Turning points, not only in the future of the Soudan, but also in the welfare and security of Egypt.

A CIVIL GOVERNORITOŽNE APPOINTED, The unge decision, which prompted the hoisting of the British and Egyptian flags side by side ten years ago, greatly facilitated the taak of the administrators of the Soudan. I gave the world to understand", that there- would be no formiga Tatervention, and that the administration would be an arrange ment between the British and Egyptian Governments, absolutely free from the influence of the Bultan. The government was yested in. the hands of the Sirdar, who became Governor. General, and who took his ordere direct from the British Agent and the Prime Minister in Oairo. There have been no Capitulations or foreign Consula to serve as obstacles to all res form, as they have done in Egypt: The re salt in that the foresight of Lord Salisbury and Lord Cromer has enabled the authorities to quietly and unobtrusively carry rut all their plans. So great has been their success that there is a project under considération to give the Sondae a Civil Governor-General" with a civil Administration, quite separate from the military Administration. I understand that this has been decided.co.
