One Of the nrst acts OF Prince Charles L. after his
accession in 1885, was to devise plans whereby to
furnish the country complete network Of rail-
roads, and thereby to provide the means Of develop
ing the immense agricultural riches which were
lying dormant. Bucharest, Jassy and Gaatz, the
principal cities Of the Danublan provinces, were to
be connected with the great trunk lines OF Western
Europe. The plans were devised In a manner to
create continuous line from the DanuDe-Galatz
and eventually Odessa-t0 the Baltic and the ports
OF the North Sea. The necessary capital for building
q large sectlOn-i e., about five hundred miles-was
guaranteed by capitalists at Berlin, and to
these capitalists concessions for q term of
ninety-nve years. duration were granted, the
State Of Roumania undertaking to pay to the bond.

cent so soon as the roads would he partly or
wholly open Tor paolc tralflc Che. Inc payment OF
payment OF the coupons due January l. 1871, formed
the Immediate cause OF the present diniculty.
At the time when the question OF concedlng tne
road to Prussian capitalists was first mO0ted the
proposition was violently opposed. The people
thought 1t involved an attempt to "Germanize" the
country or az all events TO place them under sort
OF tuteage OF Germany. The representatives OF the
people refused to raiy the act Of the Executive
New elections took place, and the incoming repre-
sentatives, more dOce than their predecessors were

taken In hand and portion handed over to the
pubic traC, Out the representatives or the public
refuse now to pay the bOndhOders. BY way OF re-
prsa the Prussians refused to 60 with their
tract. and this refusal the Roumanians deter
mined to follow up by severe punlshment-namely,
to cOnflscate the whole property belonging to the
bondnolders. and to drive the Prussians from the
country Both Houses Of Representatives passed

It were forced to ratiiy the bill. The con-

that the contract price Is enormous; that the con-
tractors have enriched themselves largely; and,
finally that the country Is too poor to pay interest

be seen that at out tnrtytwo millions belonging TO
