THE CANAL AND the RAILROADS,


There is chance that the trans
continental railroads, in working
against the isthmian canal, are oppos-
ing their own interests. AS the water
route, even with the short cut across
he isthmus. would be lar slower than
,he railroads. the latter would get
most OF the traGnc between the Two
coasts in any case. They would get
1t even though the water freight rates
we're only small traction OF that BY
he overland route This, OF course,
3 point which most of the railroad
men keep in mind.
1t is possible, indeed that the canal
would make new business Tor the rail-
roads To the extent which the short
Saterway would aid in building up the
Pacinc coast it would increase the
traiac between the TWO sides OF the
Comment, and naturally make more
|OrN iur the rOaus as well as for the
anal An increase ut population
-nelns an increase OF traffic, and part
II this growth would go to the rail
-oaCs. The steamboat men imagined
hat when the railroads were Duiit
cross me continent the shipping bu J.
ness between the Two coasts woulG
ne abolished. The TACT is. however,
that me shippers, even though many
u them go around the Horn, have
more work in the traffic between the
,oasts now than they had before the
1rst OF the Unconstitutional lines was
JpeneI in 1868.

from G.5G1 tons to 2.240. and bacon
from 3,O73 tons to III during the same
quarter.
While 1t is true that this reduction
OF over third in German meat i'm
ports has been counterbalaneed TO
some degree by an Increase in the re
ooipts of foreign cattle, the deficit In
the supply OF meat products that are
ready Tor consumption must be at
tended with hardships that viii have
pronounced effect upon public senu-
nent respecting the cause of the
agrdrians throughout the empire
Germany has a population OF &c.
36i ,l7S. living upon a territory of 20S.-
$50 square miles-not as large as our
state OF Texas. Statistics have amply
demonstrated the impossibility of max
ing the tillable portion of this area
yield enough food products to support
the population of the empire. She is
absolutely dependent upon food sup
plies from other countries. The dras-
tic food regulations adopted in April
seem all the more absurd when 1t is
remembered that the great body OF
the German working people want
American meat products.

GERMANS BEING DEPRIVED
OF AMERICAN MEAT.

That Germany is beginning to feel
more keenly than ever the pinch OF
agrarlan folly, is shown in the meat
regulations which went into effect
last April. IS made evident by the re
ports sent to our state department
by Consul General Mason at Berlin.
In yielding TO the demands OF the
agrarians the relchstag has made a
meat famine imminent in the empire.
The general effect Of the drastic
regulations may be inferred from the
statistics embodied in the report Of
our consul general. which show that
during the three months from April l
to Juno 80. 1903, only $3.50 tons OF
fresh meats were imported into Ger
many, against Ans tons during the
same period in 1901 and 5,756 tons in

other simply prepared meats. dropped

THE NEW DEMANDS
OF COLOMBIA


Late dispatches from Bogota report

which the Colombian congress is now

iion, and the sum OF S25O,00O in gold

The new treaty, according TO report.
provides that after the expiration Of
,ach hundred years the United States
,hall pay during the succeeding hun
red years rs per cent more premium
