locks, etnee tho mnn levels of the Hed sea
and the Mediterranean are exactly the eome.
The lialtlc eanal has two locks, one at either

road bridge. It length ls l miles, while
that of the-fluez eanal Is 100 miles, in-eluding
about 75 miles ol aetunl eanal and 26 miles ol
lakes. Tbe general width of the Hnltie ennal
Is 22'Jfeet, but In places it widens out to :W1
feet, allowing vessels to pass one another.
The width of the Suez canal at the surface Is
828 feet.
TN1TED STATES
The -course Of the eannl. Is from Holtenao
near Keil, on the Baltic, across the Prussian
province of Holstlen to a point on the Kibe
near Ilrunsbuttel. The latter Is below Hum
bsrg on the Elbe and not far from where the
river empties into the North sea.
The two big rails-ay bridges, which have
also driveways and promenades, cross tbe
canal at Ornenentbal and Levensau, That at
Oruenenthnl has already been open more than
year. The construction of the bridge Is re
markable. The supporting Iron struoture
consists of a slender arch. Tbe roadway Is
riartly carried by it and partly suspended
rora it. Tbe spun ot 610 feet is the largest in
Germany. The floor ol the Bridge is 188 feet
above the surface of the water In the canal,
and the largest fall-rlgged merchant and war
vessels can pass It by lowering their topmasts
Tbe enda ol the span rests on strong plors of
masonry orowned with tower gates. The
cost of the Iron work alone was 13,000,000.

The scene of the ceremony was embellished
by handsome designs in landcnpe garden

power."
Tbe lighthouse and the block ef masonry

seats lor about 15,0110 people. As tho emperor
approached tbe atone Baron von lluokltorcn
borg, president ot tbe Itelchstag, addressed
blm ns follows:
"May it please your majesty to consum
mate an enterprise the graudour l which,
Irom a mechanical and industrial point ol
view, bas never been equaled on German

accomplished with God's help and without a
hitch. We now see the completed structure
which has long been plunned, nnd tbe no
comnlishment of which has boen ardently
I deslrod bv German hearts. This structure,
which was at tirst Intendud to lucreuse tne
defensive strength ol the nation, will now
promote German trade and commerce. We
uiny tliu. be permitted to Indulge in the
hope that the successful accomplishment oj
of the work will permanently and in the

providing n profitable openiug for Interna

"May your majesty graciously deign to

company this action.
Tukiug the mullet tbo emperor said:
-".In memory ol Emperor W'lllium the Great
J christen this canal the Kuiser Wiluulm

His majesty then tupped tbe stono three
times with the mullet saying.
"Jn the name of the triuuu God, In honor

and the welfare ot nations.
After the emueror hud tanned tho stono

lubmit to the full committee had only 2 sli
ver men Dubois, ol Idaho, aad Allen el
Hah.
After all-night and all-day consideration ol
the silver question by the sub-oemmlttee, a
report was submitted lo the lull Committee
on Hesoliitlons ol tho llepubllean Club
League convention. The lull committee
Imit'.d such divergence of opinion that It went
back to first principles, and lelt the duty ol
formulating a platform to the llepubllean
national convention. This action Is based
on an nrticle ol the league constitution. which
provides that the league shall -not meddle In
any way with the affairs which come proper
ly within tbe province ot the party conven
tion. Jn accordance with this prevision the com
mute prepared a report to be submitted to
the convention, which rends ns follows:
Whereas, Hectlon IR of the constitution of
the lengue says: ' 1 Ills league shall not in
any manner endeavor to Inllueuce tbo nction
ol any national, slate, county, or municipal
convention, ' the dclegntes hereby renew their
allegiance to the principles ol tho llepubllean
party, nnd pledge their best efforts lor the
success of the candidates ol that party, lle-
llnving that this convention has no Instruc
tions Irom the Republicans of the I nlted

This report was presented hy ex-Senator
Jobn Pation, ol Michigan, formerly ol Penn
sylvania, who Is a strong ndvocate of b.
metnllsm on the lines laid down by Senator
John Sherman, nnd was accepted with unnnt-
mlty by the committee. Tbe sub-committee
had formulated a platform which was almost
equally as mild as the resolution llnnlly
adopted. It reaffirmed the platform ol the
Minneapolis convention, and the national
resolutions adopted at lormer nntlonal con
ventions ol tho league. This Included a re
affirmation ol the resolutions ndopted by tbe
league at Deliver, in wnicn me sliver men
were given a little comfort. Tbe sliver men,
however, insisted that this was too mild for
them, nnd as nothing but a resolution of tbe
Populls't brand would sitlsly thorn, tbe silent
plan was adopted. Tbe sound money men
sould have won out nt any stage ol the
game, but a slap at silver would certainly
have resulted in a minority report.

the rules were suspended In order to pro
ceed with the election ol officers. This was
carried and General McAlpln. ol New York,
wns elected president ol the league by

without completing the organization on ac
count ol the lateness ot the hour.
