Washington. ID. c.. April 1.-THE
announcement that Secretary Shaw
had permitted the National City bank

United States treasury department.
pending the arrival there of gold en-
gagged by this bank for import from

ments gold upon depositing bonds
sutllcient to cover the amount of the
import expected. The gold engaged
by the National City bank for importa-
ton from London amounts to over
$4,000, 900.
Secretary Shaw, speaking of the
ground for this Naction, which is n
new move on the part of the treasury
department, made the following state
ment:
THE price of exchange having
reached the point where gold ought
to have been imported, and believing
that the reason it was not engaged to
be the loss of the interest during
transit. the sub-treasury at New York
was authorized Thursday afternoon.
to accept bonds available as security
to savings banks, and to increase the
deposits of any national bank desiF-
ing to import gold. to any amount not
exceeding $5,000,000 to any one bank.
On Friday the limit was removed, au-
thorlzing the acceptance of security

when assured that the money would
be Immediately used in gold ship
ments to the United States. Twelve
million dollars have been thus dis
tributed."

France Experimenting With
Methods to Intercept Wire
less Messages.

New York, April 14.-The survey
fOr the canal to connect the Black
Sea with the Baltic Sea has been COM
pleted, and plans for the formation
of a syndicate to finance the enter
prise will soon be under way. Eu
gene Bournonville, an engineer and
promoter of this city. will sail for
Europe this month with the conces-
sionaire.
The canal is to be known as the
Emperor Nicholas ii canal, and will
be 1000 kilometres, or about 1,Uv,
miles long, 65 metres wide and 35
metres deep. 1t is estimated that it
will require ten years to complete it,
and the cost will be about 100000 900
Most of this capital, it is hoped, will be
obtained in the United States, which,
it is believed, would mean that the
engineers would be Americans. Of
the capital needed $4,000, 900 is ex-
pected from Holland and Belgium.
The canal will be built without a
lock, through a territory that is fat
for the greater part. and will be deep
enough for the passage of Russa's
largest warships.
