GERMANY is ALARMED
Over Reports That the North Sea Canal is q
Failure.

Berlin, July THE public are actively
concerned in the reports in circulation
that the new North Sea canal is destined
to be e failure. The Vossische Xcitung
declares that If large merchant vessels
cannot risk the passage CT the canal, it
will be wholly useless as means of
rapidly uniting the Baltic and North seas
fleets as the warships will not be able To
pass through unless the canal is dcepened
and widened. In the meantime the mill
tary value Of the canal will be very sinnll
The National Zeitung beseechcs the
government to explain the condition Of
affairs at once and frankly avow the errors
In the construction of the canal, rather
than allow the country to indulge in dan
gerous delusions
The Bank Zeitung predicts that until
the canal is enlarged at heavy cost 1t
will never be able to pay the working ex-
penSes.

NEW YORK GOES DRY.
Police for Once Succeed in Closing
Saloons and Hotel Bars.
The TenderIoin and Bowey Dry and Deserted
Roosevelt Means Business.

New York, July This city, today,
had somewhat the appearance of a Maine
prohibition town. Fewer saloons were
doing business than on last Sunday.
Many which had done quiet business on
previous Sundays, were closed, today
President Roosevelt of the police board,
convinced the saloon keepers that there
would be no bluff" in enforcing the law
so most of them decided not to take
chances. But few kept open, TO day, and
would not admit any one unknown to
them.
Heretofore Sundays, in hotel cafes.
small plates Of cheese and crackers were
placed on every table, and any one who
presented respectable appearance, could
take seat and by eating, or pretending
to eat some cheese or crackers, could get
whatever he called for to drink. This
was changed, today, at all the hotels
Patrons were handed menu ana required
to order something to eat before anything
to drink was served to them.
The famous "Tenderloin" district was
no exception to the "dryness" prevailing
in other parts of the city, and the Bowery''
was practically deserted In many
churches, today the ministers delivered
sermons extolling the crusade against the
opening of saloons on Sunday.

THE EMPERoR'S VISIT
Thought to Have Bearing on Trouble Between
King Oscar and Storthing.

Berlin, July I'm his visit to Stock
holm, Emperor William is accompanied
by Count Won Eulenburg, G., rman am
bassador to Vienna. who is his close conf
dant In matters pertaining to foreign
affairs. Among Others of his suite Is the
naval engineer, with whose assistance the
Emperor is closely studying the newest
types of warships.
Amusements are being provided on
board the imperial yacht Hohenzollern,
the special features of which are dramatic
performances given In the saloon of the
yacht under the personal attention of the
Kaiser, who intention 1t is to assume the
leading roles in pieces treating of Prussian
history.
While the monarch Is entertaining Others
and being amused himself, he is engaging
In serious work. Nobody now believes
that his weeks sojourn in Stockholm is
undertaken merely as matter of pastime
The relations between King Oscar and
the Storthing continue strained, and the
Emperor's timely visit TO the Swedish
capital may create such an impression
upon the Norwegians as to render them
open to compromise
Adyices received from Christiana, Tues
day last, gave promise of speedy settle
ment of the difficulties, the Radical ma
jority in the Norwegian Parliament voting
diplomatic and consular budgets apparent
ly under the influence of scare, but the
thought of what will undoubtedly happen
If any part Of the money thus voted shall
be used to cover the expenses of the royal
reception of the German Emperor at Stock
holm, yesterday, and his entertainment
throughout his stay, gives darker aspect
OF the situation.
The Storthings vote explicitly stated
that the budgets were carried under GER
tain conditions, which stipulations are of
character rendering 1t almost impos-
sible for Sweden to accept.
The Emperor had a long conference
with the King, yesterday, and afterward
made tour of the city, which was pro
fusely decorated with flags and triumphal
arches The Swedish cruiser Geflon and
two torpedo boats escorted the royal
launch to the Hohenzollern and back to
the stairway in front of the palace.
