Harrisburg Penn June 2O.-Governor Stone this
morning signed the two supplemental rapid transit
bills which passed the House yesterday afternoon.
One of them constitutes the Governor, Secretary OF
State and Attorney-General board TO pass
future applications for rapid transit charters and
the other removes ambiguity from the original
bill by providing that under charter either an
elevated or an underground road. or both or one
partly elevated and partly underground, may be
constructed.
The Senate to-day defeated the ballot reform bill
known as the Gufey bill Although the measure
bears the name of the Democratic National Com
mitteeman from this State. and was introduced by
Senator Cochran, the Democratic leader. the Demo-
Gratis voted solidy against the bill They took this
action because of changes made in committee by
the Republican majority which they assert de-

A RIG CANAL SCHEME IN AUSTRIA.

Washington, June 2O.-A vast canal scheme is now
under consideration by the Austrian Parliament ac-
cordtng TO a report received at the State Depart
rnent from Consul Mahin, at Reichenberg- The
plan contemplates a canal from a projected Oder
Danube waterway eastward TO the Dneister River
which flows into the Black Sea, another westward
to the EIbe, and stin another to join the Danube
and Moldau rivers This would mean a network
of canals covering the principal provinces OF Aus
tria affording cheap all water routes to the Adri
attic Black and Baltic seas. and linking the navi-
gable streams of the empire The scheme was at
first received with considerable enthusiasm, the
government announcing that $50 Ooo,0o0 would be
appropriated for it, each interested province bear
ing share of the burden. But the Agrartan ele-
rent has begun a strong opposition to IT, asserting
that by cheapening freight rates the canals would
flood Austria with foreign food products The pro-
ject strongly supported, however, by manufactur-
ing and commercial interests generally. and Consul
Mahin says though ITS fate is uncertain, there
strong hopes of it's passage
