after the ceremonies are over.
The great canal which joins the Baltic
10 the German ocean cost about SIS. .50o 90,
and has been eight years IN building. Il
iutersects the peninsula OF Schleswig- Hol-
stein from Brunsbuttel. near the mouth OF
the river Eloe. 10 Holtenau, on kiel bay,
and opposite the city Of Kiel. a distance
of about fifty-nine miles. The entrances
at both terminals have been provided with
dock gates, each OF which is 2T1z yards
wide. The lowest possible depth OF water
az the Brunsbuttel end IS FIVE fathoms,
and at Holtenau the water is a trife
deeper. The dock gates are operated py
hydraulic power. and the whole canal is
lighted by electricity. Steam tugs VIII be
stationed at each main gate OF the canal,
in order 10 assist in the passage OF vessels.
At several points the canal is crossed by
large bridges. which, when open. leave a
free space Of ifty-four square yards. There
are also q number OF ferries and two
finely constructed permanent railway
bridges. The military advantage of the
canal is in the fact that henceforfh N
time of war the German navy cannot be
divided. and the provisioning Of either the
Baltic or the North shore cannot be in
terrupted or rendered impossible.
The agitation in France against the
French warships at Kiel hosting the Ger
man imperial flag bearing the sinister
date "1S7D." has induced the emperor 10
decide not TO visit any foreign warship
during the celebration of the opening OF
the canal as If he visited any oT them.
he would be compelled to visit the Hoche,
the French flagship. which would there
by be bound 10 hoist this standard. The
cause of the French excitement about this
matter appears to be due to the fact that
Prince Bismarck, during the course OF
speech made in reply TO the address of
deputation in April last. said that the
canal had been proposed by him in lsb1.
but that nobody would listen TO him until
the French war indemnity gave him the
wherewithal TO carry out this scheme.
