nOiS will cat up more money than the Cs-
Inmates call for but the German channel
we are assured, will be finished at an cx-
pense well within the original estimate
of $39, 900, O0O
1t seems certain, too that the Baltic ca
nal will be finished by the time set by the
engineers, and all Germany is now prepar-
ing to celebrate it's opening during the
first week in Juno. Hamburg, Kiel and
every town and village lying along the
line will be brilliant with flags and alive
with visitors during the festivities. Before
the formal opening Emperor William, in
his yacht, followed by squadron of Ger
man warships, will make tour of official
inspection, and every nation in the world
possessed of a navy worth mentioning will
make it point to be represented by some
of its very best ships Just what the Unit
ed States will do in this direction has not
yet been fully decided upon, and there has
been considerable discussion as to how big
our naval display shall be.
The importance of the new canal from
every standpoint can hardly he overest-
mated When it is finished, German men
of-war can pass from one sea to the other
without sailing through foreign waters.
and it will then be possible quickly to con
centrate tho entire German navy upon
either the north or the west coast. To the
merchant marine the new channel will he
hardly less important. The saving in time
and distance will be very considerable.
For ships plying between the Baltic and
points south of Hull the new course will
be 23S miles shorter than the old one.
Bremen ships will save 322 miles and
Hamburg ships 424, but still greater
gain will be made in respect of safety, for
the passage between Jutland, the northern
most part Of Denmark and the Scandina-
Wan peninsula, which is now the only
available one for vessels in the Baltic sea
trade, is counted one uf the most danger
Gus in Europe more than 200 crafts being
annually lost upon its treacherous coasts.
The new canal stretches across the prus-
sian province of Hulstcin. Along nearly
its entire course the soil is favorable to
canal building although in some places it
has been found difficult to make IA good
bed, because Of hoggy and murShy ground.
But nowhere have the builders of this
canal encountered any such abnormal for
nations of land or rock or such rushing
torrents n confronted those who under
took the Panama canal or such PREACHER
