NINE Z CANALS.

A recent publication by the treasury
bureau of statistics supplies some in
teresting information regarding the
great canals of the world, from which
the following brief descriptions of the
nine most important artificial water
ways are extracted:
In America the canals connecting the
Great lakes are the principal ship ca
nails. and are three in number; the
Welland canal. originally constructed
in 1888 and enlarged in 1871 and 1900;
the Sault Ste. Marie. or st. Mary's ca
nal. opened in 1885. and enlarged in
1897. and the Canadian canal at st.
Mary's river. opened in 1895. The
American canal was originally con-
structed by the state of Michigan, but
subsequently taken charge of by the
United and enlarged at a cost of 81
150, 900. The cost of the canal was
about $50. 900, 900. largely due to the
fact that thirty-ive locks are required
in ~surmounting the rise of 327 feet in
the distance of twenty-seven miles.
The length of the Suez canal is about
ninety miles. the cost 500 900, 700. the
present depth thirty-one feet. width at
bottom 10S feet, and at the surface APO
feet. The number of vessels passing
through IL mas grown from 400 III 10 ~
to 3.1441 in 1901. The Cornstadt and
st. Petersburg canal, which gives a
passageway for great vessels to st.
Petersburg. is sixteen miles long, in.
Guiding the deepening of the bay chan
mel. twenty and a half feet in depth,
and the total cost estimated at $10,-
600. 900.
The Corinth canal, which connects
the Gulf of Corinth with the gulf of
Aegina. is four miles in length, twenty
six and a half feet in depth, seventy
two feet wide at the bottom, and cost
about $4,000, 900.
The Manchester ship canal was open
ed in 1894. It's length is thirty-fve and
"a half miles, depth twenty-six feet,
width at bottom 100 feet and at the
surface IT'S feet and cost SIS, 900, 200.
! The Kaiser Wilhelm canal. which
connects the Baltac and North seas
through Germany, is sixty-one miles
in length, Twenty-Five and a half feet
in depth, seventy-two feet wide at the
bottom, 100 feet wide at the top and
cost about SAC, 900, 900.
An additional canal connecting the
same bodies Of water by way Of the
Elbe and Trave rivers vas opened in
1900. It's length is forty-one miles,
depth about ten feet, width seventy-two
feet and cost sc, 000, 900.

DANIELS LOSES.
Letter to Roosevelt Not Satisfactor,
and Nomination Will Be Revoked.

A special to the Denver News from
Washington under date of February II,
says:
The nomination of Ben Daniels, an
eX-Rough Rider, to be marshal of Ari
iona. confirmed by the senate before il
had heard of his record as an ex-con
Wet. a hold-up mar and a brace game
gambler, will be revoked by the presi
dent.
Daniels was a personal nominee. OF
President Roosevelt, The president
knew him as a brave soldier and de,
sired to reward him. there was ugly
rumors in Washington about Daniels
when his nomination was referred "a
the judiciary. After his nomination
was confirmed the story came that
Daniels had served a term in prison
for larceny and a great row was raised
in the senate because he had been con.
firmed without facts being brought to
the knowledge of that body. President
Roosevelt called on Daniels for explain
alton and the letter received in reply
was not satisfactory.

RACE FOR TRADE.
Foreign Commerce Shows American
Goods Still Gaining Favor.
NOW EXPORTING TIN.

The important document entitled
Review of the Foreign Commerce of
the United States in 1901" showing
the pace at which this country ran
during the last calendar year i'm the
great race for supremacy in trade i'm
the worlds markets. has been made
public by Frederic Emery, chief of the
bureau of foreign commerce of the
state department.
1t is stated that the commercial re-
ports of our diplomatic and consular
officers last year record continued
growth in the sales of many lines of
manufactures from the United States
in foreign countries. Although the
value of our exports of manufactured
goods has shrunk, the variety of our
sizes in Europe is being extended. and
the territory upon which they are en-
croaching is being constantly enlarged.
II is shown to be a fact that we are
now supplying European nations with
goods which have for years been dis
tinctive of the countries themselves,
and which we used to import from
them. We export silk to France. tin
plate to Wales. cottons to England.
and our California fruit is making such
Roadway in Spain as to provoke the
query in a Spanish newspaper: Shall
we live to see American on
the Valencia market itself?" In Bel
GUM, more American goods are being
consumed than ever before.
The falling off in American exports
is attributed. not to the goods being in
less favor. but rather to business de
preston in Europe. affecting the pur-
chasing power. The elimination of
Hawaii and Porto Rico from the list
of countries to which we export also
is a factor. The treasury figures show
that during the calendar year there
was a falling off of S12, 565 1914, COM
pared with the previous year, a n
features falling off SAG, 262,492, but be-
ing offset by a gain in agricultural ex-
ports of S35. 591 or.
AS to restrictive legislation, pending
measures in Europe might be aban-
doned. says the report, if the United
States modified its tariff policy and
permitted more imports from Europe.
On the whole, Mr.. Emery finds that we
have hardly mor than entered upon a
novitiate in fitting ourselves for inter
national competition, and he notes
with encouragement the growth of a
popular interest in the value of foreign
trade and well directed efforts for eX.
pansion.
