THE CANAL AT KEEL.

There has been an enormous lnnu6
of visitors to Hamburg to view the GER
emonies and spectacles incident upon
the opening of the Baltic-North Sea Ca
nal at Kiel. Great preparations are
now in hand and decorations are being
placed on every hand and Nominations
made ready. According to orders by
the Navy Department at Washington
the American men.of.war at Kiel will
be illuminated by electricity every night
during their stay at that port. 1t is in,
tended that the cruiser New York shall
be provided with 1000 incandescent
lights, and each of the remaining three
ships of Admiral Kirkland's feet will
have about 1900, besides the usual
powerful search lights. The incandes-
cent lights will be arranged according
to the brilliant designs, each vessel car
rying around the pilot house an I'M
mense shield representing the U. ..
coat-of-arms, the red and white bars
and the stars on blue background be-
ing produced by electric bulbs. This
shield ;yill be 16 feet high, and will ex.
tend back on each side of the pilot
house "a feet. Around the stern OF
each ship will be displayed its name IN
large electric letters. =,
In addition incandescent lights WILL
be strung along each vessels stem and
stern from the water to the deck and
along the deck rail and from end to
end on both sides. The hull of each
ship will thus be completely outlined,
another row of lights being run along
the water line and other lines being
run I'D the masts and down the back
stays and up and down and around the
smokestacks. The United States men
of-war will also make elaborate dis
PLAYS of fireworks during the progress
of the fetes.
The canal was opened to-day, Prince
Hohenzollern breaking thread across
the entrance of the canal.
The royal reception rooms in the
new Kiel station, in which Emperor
William will receive the Germans ma
TONS guests, has been decorated and
fitted out after the style of the state
rooms in the imperial yacht Hohenzol-
lern.
The waterway opened by the new
canal has been navigable for small YES
sells for over q hundred years. In 1854
there was completed the Elder canal,
which forms waterway between Kiel
bay and the Baltic and the town of
Tonning, on the North sea. This work
followed a most tortuous course, its
length being los miles. Its depth also
was only seven feet, SO that its utility
for modern navy was nothing.

Mr.. CHAUNcEY DEPEw says ex.Sen-
ators Hampton and Butler and the
"aristocraticn element of the South will
be knocking at the door of the next
national republican convention. North
ern republicans are the only people who
seem to imagine there is such a thing as
an "aristocratic" element in the South.
But if there were, to suppose that
that element would knock at the doors
of the "mud sillsn of the North would
be preposterous, especially as the rule
of the latter would mean their own
subjectlon to the domination of their
ignorant, stupid and prejudiced negro
ex-slaves. Mr.. Depew doesn't know
what he is talking about.

A BIG THING FOR NORFOLK

The report current for the past week
that the Southern Railway Company
was seeking an entrance into Norfolk,
because of its exceptional deep water
advantages, has received full confrma-
ton. President Samuel Spencer, of
the Southern Railway, yesterday ap-
peared before representatives of the
various business organizations and
prominent citizens of Norfolk and
stated that his road had placed itself in
q position to reach that city, but that
it desired certain concessions, which he
named. There is to be a called meet
Ing OF the city council at once. when
the desired concessions will doubtless
be promptly granted. This means
much for the future of Norfolk. The
Southern Railway Company has nearly
i've thousand miles of road and is
rapidly increasing its mileage. It is
now in the hands of practical railroad
men, and it penetrates a rapidly de-
veloping region, both in agriculture
and manufacturers. The people of
Norfolk can afford to make any reason
able concession to this great railway
system, for Norfolk will grow and
expand in business and population
With the growth and prosperity of the

Mr.. Spencer says the Southern has
already decided to go to Norfolk and
that the only question now in doubt is
as TO which way it shall go. The pur-
pose OF his road is to use Norfolk for
Its export business and for steamship
connections with the North Atlantic
ports. a long stretch of valuable

Mechanics opened. 1t will conclude
Thursday evening with a banquet. One
hundred and fifty delegates are present.
One of the most important matters to

port of the national legislative COM
mittee. At the Asheville session, by
unanimous vote, the incoming com.
mittee was positively instructed to exert
all its efforts in behalf of the "Stone
BILL" At the first and only meeting
held by the national legislative com.

petitions urging the passage of the
Stone bill, but when the petitions were
issued they contained an extra para

The property is valued at $1,000, 600

THE FALLING Orr is STANDARDIZATION
Marye on Friday received the report of the
new assessment in the Second District of
Buchanan, which makes the work of the as
SCISSORS in that county complete. On account
of the development of the mining and timber
lands this years assessment in Buchanan
county shows a remarkable increase in the
valuation of tie real estate. The new assess.
ment is STAG, 345, while the old assessment
was 1886, S81, showing an increase of $3.50
464, or of 93la per cent.
On to this time the Auditor has received
complete reports from Buchanan, Cumber.
land, Greene, Middlesex, Orange, Prince
William, Warren and Wise In these coun.
ties the old assessment of the real estate ag.
preeated the sum of S9,927,165, while the
new assessment is So, 659,399, showing a
decrease of only $267, 1855, or less than 20.
per cent.
ties furnish fair average of the valuation of
the real estate in this State, and if that be
true the total decrease in the values in Viz
ginis will be far less than has been predicted
in certain quarters.

'Bunyan's Pilgrim Band" a religious
body en- route to various places in the
county and other parts, who gave
magic lantern exhibition to an interest
ID and appreciative audience. The ex-
hibiLion represented the most important
.enes in that interesting volume,
Pilgrims Progress, and only equaled in
realistic beauty that of Millions
Paradise Lost. These were thrown on
large canvas by well arranged
magic lantern, when Prof. n. N. Nc
Grew, who has charge of the company,
gave graphic and we'll defined explana-
lions of the same and the relation they
sustained to the christian life. The
gentlemen composing the company
were the guests of Mr.. r. M. Hurst.
Rev. Edward Gamble, a student from
the Seminary, in the absence of the
regular pastor of Olivet Episcopal

by his earnestness. He bids fair to
make a most excellent minister. He will
be ordained to this Office work on the
2Sth inst. Rev. S. A. Wallis, pro-
fessor at the Seminary, will hold divine
service at this church next Sabbath.
Assistant Bishop Newton of the diocese
will also preach at the same place on
the 5th Sunday ut IL q. M, and ad
minister the rifle of confirmation to all
those who may present themselves on

the daily number. When it will stop is only
a matter of conjecture. There is not another
