The Ttclchstng has passod a law Irerlvo tho shipping dues on Gor n navlgablo rlvors, which woro ollihcd with enthusiasm nbout flf- Ttars ago. Tho plan orlglnntcs Ith Prussia, and Is connected with canal legislation of about ten m ago. Id 1899 tho Prussian government tried unsuccessfully to Induco tho diet to puss a law providing for tho construction of a canal to connect tho Ithlno with tho Elbo, starting from near Dussoldorf on tho Ithlno, and reaching tho Kibe near Mngdo burg. The agrarian Interests, which pre dominate In Prussian legislation, took alarm at the plan, believing that such ti cnnal would facilitate the Im port of foreign grain Into tho heart of Germany, nnd tho bill was reject ed. Several yenra later, however, a compromise bill providing for tho building of tho cannl from tho Ithlno to a point near Hanover wna passed, hut tho agrarians attached a provi sion to tho meaauro that It should not bo put Into operation beforo tolls had been reintroduced on nil tho nav igable streams of tho Empire, Intend Ing this nB a further meaauro for chocking tho shipment of Imported grain Into tho Interior. Thereupon the Prussian govern ment set to work to obtain tho co operation of tho other Germnn sta tes for tho pnssnge of a law reviving navigation duos. Tho nsalatanco of llavnrJn and wlrtcmborg waa obtain ed by holding out hopes that tho Main and Nccknr rlvora would bo Im proved In their upper courao, bo that thoso states would havo tho advan tage of water communication with the sen. Hamburg's consent wns ob tained by n trndo of territory ncces sary Tor extending tho city's harbor area. In ono Important respect tho now law fallB to moot tho expectations of tho agrarians. In order to obtain tho support of tho other states tor Ha planB, Prussia waa obliged to agreo to fix tho tolls at a very low figure, and honco thoy will not provo n very strong check to foreign grain. It Is frcoly predicted by tho oppo nents of tho plnn that tho rates is fixed will not yield nearly so much rovenuo ns assumed by tho govern ment, nnd Hint thoy will linvo to bo considerably Increased If tho promis ed Improvement of tho affluents of the Ithlno la to bo carried out. Boforo this law take effect It will bo necessary for tho government to sccuro an ngrcomont with Holland and Austria, with which countrlos Germany has treaties guaranteeing 'tho freedom of navigation on tho two strenms mentioned. As both coun tries nro strongly opposed to barter ing away their treaty rights, It Is by no means certain that tho lnw will over bo pnt Into operation. nillTISIl S1IIPPIXO 81'I.CTI.ATH OX W1I.I. 1IAVK OX TKA1M.

Tito "Iron" rond, bo calk'd bc- causo tho process of mnklng nnd tho materials used, render Ita surinco practically lmporvloua, oxtonds for n distance of thrco nnd onc-hnlf miles. In 1900-07, boforo any portion of tbo Iron rond was laid, 14,189 tons of grit nnd refuse wns romoved from tho public ways. Tho quantity re moved In 1910-1911 wns 9,038 tons, and thcro was a saving on tho cart ngo nnd disposal of tho Bweoplngs of $5,000. Composed chiefly of the structuro of tho rond, each ton bo displaced had to bo replaced by now material at a cost modoratoly esti mated at 2,500 a year. At this rato It Is calculated that tho saving In scavenging on roads mndo on tho Fulhnm plan would amount to not loss than ono million dollnrs n year.
