A portion of the route mapped out by Mr. Ruckteschell, who will probably be entrusted with the building of the canal, consists of navi- gable rivers; and there is a waterway of some description or other connecting Riga and Kherson already. This will, however, have to be very considerably deepened and widened before it comes of any use for the passage of vessels of deep draught.

SHELL TRANSPORT AND TRADING CO.

A very pretty legal puzzle came before Mr. a special case stated by the umpire in an Justice Channell the other week in the form of arbitration between the Shell Transport and Trading Company and the Consolidated Petro- leum Company. The facts were, very shortly, Chese. The "Shell" Company sold to the Petroleum Company a cargo of petroleum to be shipped from Texas by the steamship Goldmouth, and delivered by the steamer into the buyers' storage tanks in London, the buyers undertaking to receive the oil from the steamer through their pipe lines at the dis- charging berth. When the Goldmouth arrived to the berth, and it was only after expensive it was discovered that it was too big to get in- dredging that it could gel alongside the pipes and discharge its oily cargo.

"The definition of a spy in international law is one who disguises his true identity and insinuates himself within hostile territory for the purpose of communicating with the enemy. "If I had insinuated myself into Russian waters and had communicated with the Japa nese I might come within this category. But I am guilty of neither of these insinuations.

"I possess a system of wireless telegraphy which, even if the messages were not veiled by a cipher, neither the Japanese nor Russian in struments can record. The messages go to a neutral cable office and thence to London, no one having access to them.

"I have never yet sailed in Russian waters; all my messages have been sent from the high seas or from Beutral waters,

"I would point out that all the fighting have witnessed could have been placed with neutral cable, after a few hours' steaming. No Power ever dreamed of interfering with neutral cable offices, and the wireless system is only a means of accelerating the dispa'ch of the mess-

These two great watercourses, of which the Dnieper is by far the more important, are con- nected by the Berezina Canais, by means of which the stream of the same name, a tributary of the Duna, is rendered navigable for rafts and barges.

Having regard to these facts, it would not at first appear that the construction of the canal would present a very difficult task, but it must be borne in mind that rivers in the land of the Tsar have an awkward habit of drying up in the summer and freezing in the winter. Indeed, on some of the canals mentioned traffic is con. fined to the time of the spring floods, so that, even if the channels are utilised, the water supply will have to come from the outside, and even then it will be just as liable as ever to freeze.

THE PANAMA CANAL.

PAST FAILURES AND PROCESS OF SALVAGY

Following the drawing of a Treasury War- rant for the purchase of the Panama Canal Company, the American Government have chosen Mr. John Findlay Wallace, general manager of the Illinois Central Railway, as chief engineer of the canal; an indication of the determination to have no unnecessary delay in getting on with the work. For the first

As planned by the engineers, the canal is to be 314 ft deep, 140 it. wide at the bottom, and 266 ft wide at surface. A broad paved road will be built by the side of the canal for the whole of its length, and thus there will be not only a canal traversing the country from north to thine in the long history of the canal there is soul, but a roadway also.

Regarding the Saigon market, it would seem from recent inquiries, that rice has been arriv ing more freely in Chalon, but it is said to be of very poor quality, stocks in the interior having been all more or less flooded and soak ed; anyhow, the demand for tonnage has improved and some fresh chartering has come to pass, though closing quotation chanot be called anything better than 15 cents per picul as yet.
