VHS CANAL ACROSS THE ISTHMUS OF

SUEZ.

The International Commission for opening the
canal across the Isthmus of Suez has adopted a
number of resolutions, of which the following is an
abstract :

" 1. The Commission has rejected the system of the
indirect line across Egypt, and adopted the principle of
the direct communication between Suez and the Medi-
terranean.

" 2. It likewise rejected the plan proposed for supply.
ing the maritime canal with the water of the Nile, and
decided that it should be fed from the sea.

"3. The Commission discussed the advantages and
inconveniences of a canal, with barks, continued from
one sea to the other, and ultimately decided that the
canal should have no banks in its passage through the
Salt Lakes.

"4. The interposition of the Salt Lakes left open
having for its effect to weaken the currents of the tide, the
Commission was of opinion that sluices at the two ex-
tremities of the canal, at Suez and at Pelusiuni, were
not indispensable. They might, however, be established
at a future day, if considered necessary.
"5. The Commission maintained the width of 100
metres at the surface of the water, to a distance of 20
kilometres, which is to be metalled between Suez and
the salt Lakes ; and it reduced the width of the re-
mainder of the canal to 80 metres.
" 0. The outline sketch of the first projeot, prepared
by the engineer of the Viceroy, was moreover maintained.
"7. Entrance on the Mediterranean aide by Port Said.
The Commission adopted for Port Said the system of
piers proposed by the members who repaired to Egypt,
with this difference, that the width of tlae Ch simnel is to,
be reduced from 500 to 400 metres, and that a dock is
to be added in the rear.

"8. Entrance on the Red Sea by the port of Suez.
The Commission adopted the line and direction of the
Channel. Its width, however, is to be reduced from 400
to 300 metre., and a dock is to be constructed in the
rear. The piers will extend into the sea, until they arrive
at a depth of six metres at low water, and a broad cban-
nel in the direction of the piers will be dredged to the
depth of nine metres.
" 9. The Commission declares that the establishment
of proper lighthouses at every landfall along the coasts
of Egypt and of the Red Sea ought to be the n3cessary
consequence of the opening of the canal.

"10. A port for revictualling, refitting, and repairing
Ls to be constructed in Lake Timsah.

"As respects the auxiliary canals of fresh water, de-
rived from the Nile, the Commission, guided by consi-
derations of art, would have preferred its being supplied
by the canal of Zagazig, near Belbek but has declared
its willingness to leave the choice of the best mode of
execution to the appreciation of the engineers who are to
direct the works.

" 12. Finally, it appeared from the information given
by the naval officers, members of the Commis,ion, that
the navigation of the Red Sea is as safe as that of the
Mediterranean and Adriatic. This is the opinion in par-
ticular of Capta n Harris, who performed 70 voyages
between Suez and the East Indies."
