One of the last of the great events
connected with Hungary's millennial
exposition, which has been in progress
at Budapest since last May, was the
opening of the Iron Gates of the Dan
ube by the Emperor of Austria and
the Kings of Servia and Roumania.
The entrance to the Iron Gates canal
is about four miles from Orsova,
Servia, and at this point a flower laden
cord had been stretched across the
only obstruction now remaining to the
commerce of the great Danube River.
As the steamer on which were the
three monarchs of the three Nations
specially interested in this great en-
gineering work snapped the flower
laden cord, the salute of cannon and
the cheers of the people proclaimed
that the dreaded Iron Gates of the
Danube no longer had any terror for
the navigator and that they are now
forever open to the commerce of the
Nations on its banks. This event is a
notable one, and in connection with
the other events celebrated in this
thousandth year of Hungary's exist
ence as Nation shows an awakened
spirit OF enterprise and National pride
that augurs we'll for the future of Aus
tria- Hungary. The Danube is to
Eastern Europe what the Rhine is to
Western Europe. 1t is river of
romance, of a picturesque beauty
quite as great as that of the Rhine,
but not, perhaps, as we'll celebrated,
and is the noblest stream of the Con-
tinent. Just sixty years ago the first
steamer to take its departure from
Vienna to Pesth began its trip with
half the Austrian capital on the banks
to witness the novel sight. And the
same year the Iron Gates were passed
for the first time by the Pannonia.
But the rapids caused by the huge
rocks in the bed of the river, the
frowning precipices of the encroach-
inc mountains and other difficulties
have ever since made the passage of
the Iron Gates one that was dreaded,
frequently resulting in damage to YES
sells and sometimes in loss of life. The
construction of the great canal and
the removal of some of the rocks have
at last obvlated the difficulty of pass
age and the gloomy shadows OF the
mountains at the Iron Gates will
henceforth be only picturesque feat
ure of the "blue Danube"

that he Is fully convinced that the grave
