A FRENCH SHIP CANAL.
PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION FROM THE
ATLANTIC TO THE MEDITERRANEAN.

fdflS, Mdrcn 10.
The Parliamentary Committee on Maritime Af-
.airs 10 which the Chamber Of Deputies re-
ferred the bill for the proposed ship canal across
Southwestern France from the Atlantic to the
Mediterranean, has concluded its labors and the
chairman Of the committee ". Honore Leygues,
has submitted 10 the Chamber a solid volumi-
nous report, bristling with figures, statis-
tics maps. plans and projections, urging the i'm
mediate construction Of the canal for strategical
as well as for commercial reasons
Strategically, the canal would destroy the i'm
portance Of Gibraltar, and enable the French
Mediterranean and Channel fleets to concen-
trate at viii either terminus of the canal
The terminal points recommended are Arcachon
on the Atlantic seaboard. and Narbonne in the
Mediterranean. Arcachon and Narbonne are to
be transformed into strongly fortified naval
ports with arsenals and dockyards Each mort
is 10 be large enough to accommodate the whole
French Eary.
The canal Is 10 he 80 miles long The total
cost is estimated At S2G3 600 600 exclusive Of
naval constructions and fortihcations. or S3O5-
100000. II the twenty-seven locks are TO he
fitted with Archimedas elevators of the TYNE
adopted ar Hvnriehburg. which enable vessels
Of one thousand tons to be lifted to a height
o. fifty feet The estimate of the expense OF
construction is based upon the cost OF the Man
chester Canal, and the KieI Canal. with due al
lovances for greater number of locks, greater
depth. greater width and greater volume of
water.
Il is found that the tonnage of vessels that
passed through the Straits Of Gibraltar bound
Tor ports in Northwestern Europe or in the
Mediterranean OF vice versa during the year
1900 amounted TO fifty million tons The local
coasting traffic is put at six million tons The
committee, iu order not To appear too optimistic
has taken for IT'S estimate half of these figures
that is 10 say. twenty-five million tons for ocean
traffic and three million tons for coasting This
gives a minimum traffic for the canal of twenty
eight million tons. The committee proposes to
tx the canal tolls at the uniform rate Of 80
cents A ton. The annual receipts from this
source would he S9SU0OO0. The cost of main
tenance Of the canal is estimated at $2OOOOOO
year The surplus receipts amounting 10
SI.S0O000, to be applied to the payment Of
interest on capital At the rate Of 3 per cent.
The repCrt contains elaborate statistics show
ing the saving in time. money and distance
effected by the use Of the canal. The following
table gives the distances in nautical miles be-
tween Havre and Liverpool and the principal
ports Of the Mediterranean by way of Gibraltar
aid by way Of the proposed canal:

FROM IfAVRE.

The voyage wherein the proposed canal would
be Of the least advantage IS that from Ham
burg 10 Port Said, although even in this in
stance there is a saving Of 20 per cent gained by
passing through the canal The waterway is to
be so constructed that a speed Of ten knots an
hour can be maintained in the canal II is cal
culated that the maximum delay at each of the
twenty-siX locks will be twentv-seyen minutes
or for the whole transit II hours ~ minutes
vessel steaming II the rate Of eight knots an
hour would pass through the canal. including
The II hours II minutes delay at the locks In
- hours minutes. The minimum cost OF
coal for q vessel proceeding at eight knots an
hour is calculated at - cents a ton per dav
That is 70 say a vessel of 5000 tons proceeding
at eight knots would consume S1.131 worth Of
coal during voyage Of > days 10 hours which
is the minimum time saved during the route
between the two ports-Hamburg and Port Said
which is the where there is the least 10
be gained by passage through the proposed
canal. The same vessel Of 1900 tons would pay
in canal tolls at the rate Of 81 cents per ton,
Sl0J0. This would effect a saving in coal con
sumption Of $sl besides shortening the voyage
by days - hours.
The conclusions OF the report are that all yes
sells plying between the Mediterranean and ports
OF Northwestern Europe-and the tonnage Of
steamers passing 10 and from these points dur
Ing the year 1900 amounted to 10000 900 tons
will find it advantageous to make use Of the
proposed shin canal
Admiral Fournier OF the highest naval
authorities in France. has drawn up an elabo-
rate report on the proposed canal judged from
a strategIcal point Of view In this report Ad-
miral Fournier cites from a speech made in the
House Il Commons by Sir Charles Dixie the fol-
lowing passage: In the event Of a great war
the whole OF Africa, including Egypt and AL
gera, would fall TO the power that has com
mand Of the sea" Admiral Fournier explains
and develops this text: he also refers TO conclu-
sions drawn from Captain Mahan's work on
The Influence of Sea Power Upon the French
Revolution and Empire" and shows how the
French feet is practically cut in twain by the
strategicaI predominance of Gibraltar. which
enables England in Of war, to pen up half
f the French feet in the Mediterranean and
attack the other half with overwhelming force in
the Channel. Admiral Fournier has come forth
as the naval champion OF the proposed ship
canal which he declares TO be n military neces-
sity for France. ". Leygues, chairman Of the
Parliamentary Committee Maritime Affairs,
3as announced his intention of asking the Cham
Der Of Deputies to vote on the Ship Canal bill
before the close Of the present session-that is
70 say. before the end of April. The Waldeck-
Rousseau Ministry indorses the scheme. which is
regarded in financial quarters with great favor,
aAe not the least merit Of which is that the
three hundred odd million dollars required for
the construction OF the much needed ship canal
vii all be expended in France, c. I. b.
