SHIP CANALS IN GERMANY.
Traffic Much Greater Than Was Ex-
nected.

A statement Of the traffic on German
canals for the past fiscal year has been
furnished the State Department by United
States Consul Hughes at Coburg. Over 50
per cent of all the vessels uaversing the
Kaiser Wilhelm canal were under the Ger
man flag. Ten per cent were British.
Mr.. Hughes states that when the Ebe-
Trave canal was opened last June it WAS
predicted that il would not pay expenses,
but the traffic has exceeded the expecta-
tons of the most sanguine, and the ancient
city of Lubbock must provide improved
landing piers to accommodate the increased
business brought about by the success OF
the canal. The great Rhine-Elbe canal
scheme. he says. is buried for the time.
owing to the opposition of the agrarians,
but the plan is not dead. Meanwhile, the
consul adds, south Germany Will have a
chance of agitating for the realization OF
an old project-the Danube Main canal.
There Is canal connection at the present
time there. but of very crude sort.

when The Abbot No. Ala in the catalogue,
was reached, and the trumpeter with
flourish announced the famous trotter's en-
trance. The Abbot in harness, and with
his trainer, Ed F. Geers, In the sulky be-
hind him, was walked around the track,
while the spectators, cautioned beforehand,
remained comparatively quiet. The Abbot
was on his good behavior however, and &C
cepted the surroundings and light as
matter of course, having become somewhat
accustomed to the building through hav-
ing been exercised there several times be-
fore the sale. short speech by repre-
sentative Of the sales company led up to
the call for a first bid, Auctioneer George
BAN then taking charge, The Abbot in the
meantime standing in the track with as
little concern as If he were in his own box
on the Village farm.
The thousands packed in the seats on the
south side of the hall craned their necks
and other thousands in the ring t!ptoed to
catch the first offer. There was delay OF
but few seconds, when Ed Upton OF the
firm conducting the sale, started the bid
ding al $4,000, stating as he did so that
he was acting for Thomas w. Lawson OF
Boston, who had authorized him to go to
that figure. The auctioneer dwelt on the
opening bid but a fraction of minute,
when Fire Commissioner John j. Scannell,
well forward in the crowd, raised the price
to $4,000, and, raising his hat in response
to the auctiOneerS Acknowledgements, stepped
back and Joined a group of trends Inc
crowd hung anXiously on Mr. Baln's plead
ing for further advance, but all MS elo-
quence could not stir a further Increase.
Slowly counting the three calls and giving
every chance to any other who might wish
to compete for the champion trotter, the
auctioneer dropped his gavel to Fire Com
missioner Scannelrs bid, and a mild cheer
went up from the crowd. The price real
lied was in a measure a disappointment
to the gathering, as a sharp contest for
the ownership of the fastest trotter in the
world had been antic.p ated, and it had been
predicted all sides that The Abbot would
bring not less than $50 600
AS soon the purchaser of the trotter
was Identified the rumor flew through the
hall that The Abbot had been bought for
Richard Croker. Another rumor circulated
was that Mr.. Scannell bought the geiding In
the interest of the Hamins. All doubt
about the matter was set at rest by Mr..
Scannell, who made the announcement IN
positive terms that he bought The Abbot
for himself and would race him in his own
name, having already determined that
Trainer Ed Geers, who developed the ami
NAL, should continue to handle him with
the trotters of the Hamlin stable. The Abb
bot. who last year took the place Of worlds
champion by trott.ng a mile to sulky in
2.03A and a mile to wagon in 2.O51a, besides
showing a mile trial to wagon in 2.03A, Is
in a class by himself in the trotting world,
and his racing for Mr.. Scannell doubtless
will be confined to trottng against time,
as horses to give him races can hardly be
found.

lived all his life in the East and
is Thoroughly familiar with the
conditions which have afflicted
this section of the State, and

whole State more effectively than
any maa who could be nominal

candidacy not only to the people
of the East but to the people of
Western North Caroline, a. one
who can bring home to them, as
no other man can, the necessity
for the adoption Of the cons.itu.
