Bent upon making the most of their brief stay in this, the capital of the Egyptian general government of the Soudan, the Roosevelts were early astir todav. Colonel Roosevelt was especially busy, occupying the interv als between planned excursions to point* of historic interest in receiving callers and making reply to such of his voluminous correspondence as ho had been able to examine. Aftei breakfast he summoned to him the native servants who had accom panied hiui throughout the exj edition an 1 bade them goodbye. Each received a present of cash from Colonel Hoose velt and a gift from Mrs. Roosevelt. The sight .seeing programme began with a visit to Gordon Memorial col lege, built at the east end of the town in UK'.' by subscriptions solicited from the British people by Lord Kitchener. From the college a drive was taken to other parts of the town. Colonel Roose velt, Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel Roose velt and Major General Sir Rudolf Baron Von Slatkin, the inspector gen eral of the Sirdar's staff, made up the party. They occupied a carriage drawn by a handsome pair of horses and es corted by two Egyptian lancers. Late this afternoon the lioosevelts planned a visit to Kerreii.the scene of the great battle on September 2, 1898, when the Anglo-Egyptian forces de feated the Khalif aud reconquered Kgyptian Soudan. The trip to Om durman will be made in the Sirdar's yacht Elfin aud the other seven miles north of Kerrori possibly on donkey back. Cold as a Cure.

The fact that representatives of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company and officers of the Central Labor union and Amalgamated association of street and electric Railway employes were brought together late yesterday after noon lor a "friendly talk" and be came "better acquainted" is expected to lead to some definite propositions upon which negotiations can be open ed looking to a speedy settlement of the strike. Yesterday's conference came so sud denly that everybody was taken com pletely by surprise, and the fact that both sides got together for an exchange of views is looked upon as a sign that the Rapid Transit company is willing to concede a point and discuss peace plans with the strikers. The traction OHi vers had repeatedly anuouueed to various committes seeking a settlement that if would not discuss plans for ending the conflict until the strikers returned to work ami opened negotia tions as employes oft lie company. NO DEFINITE PROPOSITION It was reported that a definite pro position had been presented at. the conference. This is untrue, but the way lias been < ertainl.v paved.it is de clare !. fort iu pri - illation of a plan upon which a settlement, it is hoped, will be worked out. The conference wa- br .tight uhout liv Edwa I Lowlier Stokes, a member of the stock exchange, and a nephew of the late John Lowlier Welsh, who was interested in street car companies in this city. Those at the conference were: Charles O. Kruger, president of the Rapid Transit company; George H. Earle, one of the city's representa tives of the company's board ; W. D. Malum, president of the car men's un ion, and three members of the Central Labor union. All those in the conference declared themselves as satisfied with the pro gress of events. While no predictions were made, they expressed themselves as hopful of a speedy ending of the trouble. Mr. Maliou in a statement of what occurred at the meeting said: DISCUSSED SITUATION "We. discussed the general situation without laying down any basis of a settlement. It was suggested that both sides carefully think over the en tire matter with tho hopes that we might be able later to come together again anil reach some kind of a settle ment. There was the best of feeling, seemingly, all the way around when we adjourned."

Editor Montour American:— Much has been Haiti concerning Iho paving of Kast Market (street. Especi ally has it beejQ urged that the work should go forward at once, as the street needs repairs hailly. The latter will not be denied, but at the same time let us not proceed in too big a hurry, if thereby we get a defective piece of work —it pavement that will not meet the requirements. To como to the point, it is useless to deny that there is widespread objec tion to the paving of East Market ' street, in connection with the trolley ' rail that is at present in use there. It j is much to be regretted that proceed j ings to that end have gone as far as j they have, but from present inilica j tions it does not seem unlikely that a lialt may be called. The fact is that people are generally awakening to the realization that the 4'4 inch T rail,at present lying on the ' street, is not ony too small, but that 1 it is of the wrong kind. What is need :edis a girder rail, which, instead of being a detriment is a positive aid to travel. There are no troublesome grooves as in the T rail and vehicle a of all sorts naturally use the track, so that on narrow streets, occupied by trolley tracks the entire width is available for j ueral traffic. The lii t il u:-e I mi Mill street daily affords .in ••lij-'ct lesson sht wing what disadvantages arise from the use of a T rail on a paved street. The : width ill' Mill street. however, makes it practicable to avoid the trolley track ' in many instances. Cn East Market street the condition will be changed. The street, narrow enough at present,will be still narrow er after paving, when the sidewalks are widened to conform with the plans and specificitions. It will t-e impossible to drive ill either direct ion oil the | street without crossing and recrossing ! the trolley track. The annoying ex perience of having the wheel's confin ed in tlio stubborn groove, which oc curs often enough on Mill street, on ; East Market street, if present plans are carried out, will be such a detriment j that no one will care to drive on that ; thoroughfare if ho can help it. It was unquestionably a bud preced ent to permit the use of the T rail on Mill street. But while the borough was frequently called upon to act on the mere matter of trolley franchises the actual building of a trolley road was taken less seriously and thus it occurred in the matter of rail that the interest of the public was not safe I guarded. The proper thing to have : done would have been to require a girder rail for Mill street. Then when | it came to a question of a rail for Kast Market street, Involving a franchise I that indirectly grew out of the one taking in Mill street,the matter would have been definitely settled. As it is, under the terms of tlio ord- I inanee, probably the most that could he insisted upon by the borough would be that the Danville and Sunbury i Transit company use a rail in paving that conforms with one on Mill street. This it is true, would permit the lay ; ing of a heavier brick and make a i more substantial job of paving, but it | would not overcome the difficulty, which distinctively accompanies a T ' rail. So great will be the advantages of a girder rail anei so marked the disail i vantages of a T rail on East Market j street, that to secure the former, if 1 paving goes forward, the borough had 1 better agree to stand good for that 1 portion of the cost over and above what may bo represented by a T rail.

ERGS DROP TO TWEHTt-FIVE CENTS Along with the geueral awakening incidental to the approach of spring the curb stone market has taken on a new aspect. On Saturday morning there was a laiger turn out both of venders and buyers than at any time since the holidays. Eggs,which have been increasing in j quantity and falling in price for a couple of weeks past, Saturday seemed to be the ruling commodity and the price went down to twenty-five cents per dozen. During the last couple of months it was only on rare occasions that more than half a dozen farmers could be J counted in market. There were times when only the butchers and a few oth er regular attendants were on hand. On Saturday,however,Mill street with its respectable array of wagons and the sidewalks crowded with good natured buyers jostling each other to get the pick of produce on sale called up visions of the happy summer time, when a crowded market three times a week is a feature that makes Danville unique. j There were probably a score of farm- Ill's in market Saturday and they seeiu j ingly all had eggs on sale. As a rule | these were choice—large and fresh-look ing. At the opening of market egg,- Isold at thirty cents but it was not long i In'for. the price dropped success i\ly to Iwcnty-cight and twenty-five cent.-. The largest number of eggs was sold at the latter figure, which w as also the price that prevailed at the stores tlur- I inn the remainder of the day. The j drop represents a decline of fifteen | cents in the price of eggs during a j period of less than a month. The hens I have not yet gotten down to work j right ly and with an increase in the | yield of eggs will undoubtedly ensue i a further drop in price. All of which jis encouraging news considering that j Easter is coining on apace. ; During February eggs sold at forty j cents per dozen, which is probably the I highest price they ever commanded in the curbstone market.

SOI PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Now that the season is near at hand when out-of-door work may begin it is not untimely to revert to some of the public improvements that are ex pected togo forward the coming sum mer. The allusion may appear some what trite,as each improvement in the j past has been urged and as regularly | postponed. Inasmuch,however, as they' are matters that vitally affect the pub- ! lie a few linos at this time may not be 1 devoid of interest. Among the work devolving on the j county commissioners that would seem | to stand no further postponement is the re-painting of the river bridge. Ir is needless to advert to the necessity of proceeding with this work the com ing summer. Successive grand juries have recommended that the bridge be painted and the county commissioners recognize the necessity of it. It is generally understood that the work will go forward the coming summer. That tho retaining wall west of the abutment of the river bridge will be built by the county commissioners is by 110 mean* so certain, although it i an improvement badly needed and lias been recommended bv several grand juries. The snot af present is familiar to people as an » yesoi an! 11. • r lin ing wall would not only make ir pos sible to fill up .Hid : i (<:.> t <!. clivifv, which i- now a tun;," ng gicnne, but would also render a very dang, rous spot sooure. The borough couucil which is now organized and ready for a mason's activity, will flud a summer's work 011 East Market street, which needed re pairs three years ago, but which, in view of the prospect of paving, has been postponed from year to year, it would seem that the question of pav ing, between Pine street and Cook's court,has been settled at last and that tho work may go forward very early tiiis summer. The special task in street improvement that tho council has to address itself to is the reconstruction of East Market street between Cook's court anil tho hospital macadam. When the improvement of this sec tion of East Market street was con sidered last fall it was thought that it could be paved, with State aid, under the act of May 1, 1905. At present, it 1 would seem, that the idea of laying a | pavement on tho upper section has ; been abandoned and that the only form of improvement in view is a macadam, j Experience has shown that street im i provement, on this important thorough fare of town proceeds slowly and it is boiied that the now council will devise some means of hurrying up the work; otherwise another winter may be upon us before tlie improvements on East 1 Market street are completed.
