trlcts has been organized Reports from
along the Vlstula indicate widespread ruin,
which 1t will take a long time to remedy.
Inc low-lylng districts are still submerged,
and engineering measures will be necessary
to drain them when the waters have sub
sided. Enormous stretches of what was
formerly fertile land have been swept clear
OF soil and are at present mere waste ex-
panses of sand. The pumping process
to carry off the water is being
actively carried on, but effects
little to restore the former farming condi-
tlons. For the current year the agricul-
tural outlook is hopeless. The Empress is
making arrangements, in case the health of
the Emperor permits, to visit Dantzic, to
stimulate the work of relief.
The bill for the improvement and render
ing navigable of the rivers Oder and Spree
Is now before the Landtag, and meets with
general approval. 1t aims at the canaliza-
tion of the Oder from Breslau, and
joining the Spree with the Oder,
thus opening the country to the
coal and iron deposits of Silesia
1t is cheaper NOW to bring coal from Eng
land to Berlin than from Silesia. Last
years imports from England into Berlin
amounted to 1000 tons. The project will
supplant English by Silesian coal The de-

and that it has increased within three years
from 100000 to 7O0,O00,000 centners, be-
ing exceeded only by the water traffic of
London and Liverpool.
The upper house of the Landtag has ap-
proved Herr Gosstor's proposal for the re-
lief of the Catholic orders. Its chief stipu-
lation is that the seventeen orders soliciting
readmission to Prussia be allowed to return,
and also be re-endowed with the rites and
properties forfeited when they were dis
solved in 1875.

filthy shanties and sheds, or even In

is full of just such farmers to-day,
who are almost too stingy to live. One
man in the store remarked that the
grandson who is now running the farm
