THE WAY OUT THE CAPEs.

Two coasting steamers which pass
ed the Capes at the entrance Of the
Chesapeake bay last week almost SIM
ultaneously, both making the run
from the Capes to Baltimore within
twelve hours. serve to illustrate this
city's position as an inland seaport
Baltimore is about 200 miles from the
ocean by the way which the ocean
ships must travel, and yet it is prop
erly classed as an ocean port. In
trade to the southwark nothing in
time is lost from the run down the
Chesapeake. Tn trade with New Eng
land and Northern Europe. the run
down the bay and then again up the
coast adds more than 300 miles to the
distance measured as the crow flies.
Il Is not practicable for Baltimore
10 devise a northern outlet that would
be as direct as the crow flies. But
the proposed ship channel along the
present route of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal, opened in accord
with the recommendations of the sur
vey commission which some time ago
reported to the War Department,
would shorten Baltimore's reach to
New England and TO Northern Europe
by nearly 200 miles. It is of particu-
lar importance to the development Of
the coal-shipping interests Of this
port that this shortened route should
be provided
The digging Of a ship channel
across the upper section of the Mary
land and Delaware Peninsula is the
item in the proposed Atlantic inner
coasted chain of waterways that
should be first taken in hand by the
Government as a scheme for realiza-
ton. The present Congress, there is
reason to hope. when II swings into
the regular session, will make pro-
vision for the opening Of this par
ticular link in the proposed waterway
chain.
