BOWEN MAY NOT GO.
Little Probability Of His Appearing
Before The Hague Tribunal.

Little Probability OF His Appearing
Before The Hague Tribunal.
Washington. Feb. 19.-It does not
seem at all probable at this time that
Mr.. Herbert W. Bowen. the United
States minister to Venezuela, will go
to The Hague in connection with the
movement to have the tribunal deter
mine whether or not the European
allied governments that maintained p
blockade Of Venezuelan ports shall
have preferential treatment in the pay
ment Of the claims of their citizens
against Venezuela. If Mr. Bowen S
pleasure in the matter were consulted
the likelihood is that he would parti-
cipate in the proceedings before The
Hague tribunal. but he is not willing
to resign his position as minister to
Venezuela for that purpose and the
rules of the state department prohibit
the granting of more than sixty days
leave of absence in any one year to
diplomatic officers. The impression
also obtains that the state department
is not over-anXious for Mr.. Bowen to
attend, as his presence at The Hague
might cause a belief that the United
States is over-Zealous in behalf of
Venezuela

ropcans are doing in making canals. l
 have been pretty well over the continent
 within the past few years. Nearly every
 country is improving its waterways. Rus
 sia IS planning a canal from St. Peters,
 burg and the Baltic to the Black Sea, which will be thirty feet deep and able
 to accomodate the largest of the ocean
 steamers. The canal system will probably
 be extended eventually to the Northern
 Ocean, so that the whole country will
 be accessible by water. The chief rivers
 of Russia are already connected by ca nais, and 1t is possible to go from, St. Petersburg to the Caspian Sea by boat. Germany has for many years been spending an enormous amount on deep eninS it's rivers and building canals and 1t has one of the best canal systems of Europe. Goods can be taken from Ham, burg to Berlin and almost to the sources | Of the E.6c by boat. There are canals connecting the Eibe and the Oder, and the canal which has been built to join the coal and iron regions about Dortmund to
 the North Sea will eventually be extend- ed to embrace the Rhine, the Weser and | the Elbe
 The Germans want to standardize their
 canal system if possible so that barges carrying a thousand tons can be taken to any part of the country. They use wide parSeS on the principle that it is easier u make wide canal than a deep one. At present the canals of Eastern Ger
 many seem to be favored over those of
 the west, the port of Stettin complaining that the Prussian Government will not give 1t the canal facilities which 1t needs to compete with Hamburg. It is much nearer and naturally more accessible to Berlin than any of the ports of the west but so far the western ports are getting the trade.
 As it is now Hamburg handles about one-half of all the commerce of Germany. and goods can be shipped from there un
 th" E]be as far as Prague in Bohemia You can go by boat from Rotterdam
 to the Rhine and by canal to Paris. You
 can also go to Vienna by way of the Rhine, the Main and tle canals into the
 Danube and thence on to the Black Sea
 or you can connect by canals with other
 rivers which will take you to almost any
 part of Northern Europe Among the
 canals projected are some connecting the
 Elhe with the Danube and also the Oder
 and the Nistula with that river. so that
 in ihc future it win be possible to send
 our goods to almost any part of Europe | by water. Frank I; -arDcptor

while that of Rotterdam is composed or ships which take on and discharge cargo. Rotterdam has about half as much ship ping as Hamburg, and about one-tniru that of Liverpool or London. The ship ping is steadily increasing, and 1t now comprises lines to all parts of the world In 1900 there were about 600 ships from the United States. This is not one-tenth of the whole number that came here, but they carried almost one-third of the cargo of that year The chief of these ships are those of the Holland-American line, which go from Rotterdam direct to New York, and have been doing so since 1900. These ships are first-class passenger steamers, some of them being 10000 tons and over.
 The Gate to the Rhine.
 Rotterdam is our gate to the Rhine and to the enormous country tributary to It. Our goods are here transshipped into the huge barges, from 200 to 900 feet long, in which they are carried up the Rhine. The river freights are exceedingly low and the Rhine trade is enormous. About one-half of all the goods that come into Holland go through Rotterdam up the Rhine to different parts of Germany, Switzerland and France. the number of river ships and boats which carry them being something like 10000 annually. There are canals connecting the Rhine with the Seine and the Elbe. The barges go as far north as Basel and some of them are taken up the Main to the Dan- ube, so that Rotterdam is actually the center point of a network of waterways which embraces almost all central Flu rope.
 How Rotterdam Booms. 1 The increase of the Rhine trade has given Rotterdam great prosperity. 1t had about 200.0vo people in 1890. It now has almost 350,000 and it is growing like green bay tree. It is steadily increasing its shipping facilities. It has built a new harbor, which is over a mile long and 1000 feet wide, and has another harbor | in course of construction which win be | 1000 feet long, 1000 feet wide and tweh- | ty-six feet deep. When the present i'm 1 provements are completed Rotterdam will have twenty-five miles of quays. It has already over twenty miles and more than | thirty-two acres of sheds and warehouses for it's ocean shippints. This all belongs to the municipality. The city has put up eighty steel cranes which will lift from 1.5o0 to 6e,000 pounds each, and it has n.y. draulc coal lifts which will move 200 tons of coal per hour at a cost of cents per ton, In every respect the shipping facilities are of the best.
 Big Canal Schemes.
