evening, enthusiastically praised the
canal project intending to join all tho
principal German riyers-the Elbe, the
Rhine. the Weser, and the oder. Tho
project is not new one. The Agrarian
party, however. is very violently opposed
TO canal systems, because its members
fear further cheapening OF cereals bH
reason OF their easter transportation.
The Emperor spoke In such glowinn
terms OF the canal project that II is said

Emperor William intends to open the
Reichstag In person, which he has not
done since 1894. 1t is supposed his navar
projects are so near and dear to his heart
that he will on that occasion overcoms
the repugnance he feels for the present
