The amount to be diverted -on the Canadian side, 36,000 feet, has been fixed with a view to aliowing the companies on that side the amounts for which they now haye works under construction. Such legislatioh would give to Canada ithe.ad- vantage of diverting 7500 cubic feet per second more’ than -is diverted. in the United States.. The advantage is.more apparent . than real, since the power generated on the Canadian side will, to' a large extent, be transmitted and used in the United States.

INTER-OCEANIC ~ LINE S OPENED Mexican Railroad Across the Gulf of Tehuantepec Fin- ished at Cost of $35,000,000 WASHINGTON, - March 24—Special Agent Pepper of the Departmeht of Commerce and Labor has made a report to the Bureau of Manufactures on the Mexican Railroad across the isthmus of Tehuantepec and its relation to the Panama canal. This inter-oceanic line, with its termini and harbor works at Coatzacoalcos, on the Atlantic side, and at Salina Cruz, on the Pacific, has been opened to international trade after an expenditure of $35,000,000. - Intimations -are given. that Mexico will now enter upon a series of trade treaties with Pacific coast countries of South - America to secure their .inter- national traflic. and also to extend Mexi- can commerce. - Though the harbor works at Salina Cruz have not been fully completed, the trans-shipment of cargoes is announced to begin there in June, 1906, though Mr. Pepper belleves it.cannot be Inaugurated until Septem- ‘ber. The American Hawafian Steam- ship Company is to operate nine 8500 ton steamers on a triangular service, touching at San Francisco, Salina Cruz and Honolulu. On the Atlantic side a weekly steamer service is to be main- tained between Coatzacoalcos and New York and Coatzacoalcos and New Or- leans. 8 Consul Dunning at Milan reports to the Bureau of Manufactures on the methods of Italian manufacturers in building up their trade in the Philip- pines. Lombardy shipped $380 in goods to Manila in 1903, $4000 in 1904 and for the six months ending December, 1905, the shipments from Milan to the Philip- pines amounted to over $38,000. Every article sent by the Italians, the report says, 18 being made in the United States and includes hats, papers, cottons, um- brellas, boots, silk, macaroni, paint, hemp, lamps, medicines, preserves, linen, soap, pottery and wearing ma-: terials. Many of the “Manila hats” coveted by travelers and collectors, the Consul adds, are made in Milan and shipped into the East by the gross. “American. shoes” are also made in Italy. Special Agent Hutchinson writes to the Bureau of Manufactures from#An- tofagasta describing the shipping facfl- ities between the United States and Chile and Argentina. The report says special concessions to Europeans operate against American shipving and predicts that with equal ocean transportation facilities the for- eign trade of the United States would forge ahead more rapidly. A valuable rubber concession has been granted by Nicaragua, reports Consul Ryder of San Juan del Norte, by ‘which the concessionaires will profit $50,000 gold ‘per year for ten years, while the Government will receive only $1600 in full for the ten yéars. i ———————— VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY MEN "HOLD BANQUET AT PALACE The alumni of the University of Vir- ginla ‘gave a banquet ‘at the Palace Hotel last night in honor of dent.

Musicians and Composers Rest in “Graves of Honor” Special Dispatch to The Call. VIENNA, arch 24—In Vienna's .“graves of honor” lle the remains of such a galaxy of great musicians and composers as perhaps can be found in no ‘one country anywhere else in the world. Here in the most beautiful part of the Central Cemetery, the largest burying-ground . in ‘Europe, lle Bee- thoven, Gluck, - Schubert and other masters of music of<scdrcely less re- nown. Rop s 1S ks A magnificent monument ,to Mozart stands in’the midst of them, but it is only a monument and marks no grave. For the whereabouts of Mozart's Temains is a mystery, except as regards the skull, which.is in possession of a .friend of the family. Other monuments cover the. gravés .of painters, ‘sculptors, ‘artists,” authors, players, all.of whom occupled high positions in the world of art and culture. . % These so-called “graves of honor” are of quite recent date. When the great Central Cemetery was first opened a few years ago a number of smaller lo- cal burying-grounds which (had shf- ficed for the city's needs were closed, and, in some cases, it was even pro- posed to build over parts of them. Scat- these should be treated with all honor and reverence the City Council decided to hayve them taken up and reinterred in a prominent position in the new cemetery. A small area was therefore chosen for the reception of these illus- trious dead and also for other great men who might come after them. The city bore all the expenses attending the removal and reburying and sometimes provided the monument. In other cases, however, the friends and admirers of the deceased artists undertook the erec- tion of the memorial. In.view of the approaching centenary of the death of Haydn (in 1909) one of the City Aldermen recently proposed that this great composer’s remains should be brought from the small vil- lage churchyard where they were laid and placed in the midst of his distin- guished . associates. The Alderman, however, had overlooked the fact that the great noble family of Esterhazy had removed Haydn's corpse fourteen years after his death to a magnificent tomb upon their estate at Eisenstadt. Haydn had been private organist and music master to the Princes Esterhazy and they had therefore provided this final resting place for him. = The spot chosen for the “graves of honor'' has been tastefully laid out ana planted with choice trees and shrubs and beautiful flowers. It will shortly be’ still more beautified by the erection of a magnificent church and colonnades which will cost nearly a million dollars. According to the plans, which have just been approved, .the building .and its surroundings will give an éffect some- what-sfmilar to that of the great square of St. Peter’s in Rome. The church will be of imposing proportions, its gilded cross rising some 200 feet above the ground. The crypt will provide space for forty graves. Also in the colon- nades inclosing the area in front there | | will be mural graves after the of the Romans and eanly Christians. These colonnades will-be 1000 feet in length and will afford space for many interments. is probable that when tered among these little ceméteries |the area of the “graves of honor” be- were the remains of ‘eminent | gins to be exhausted Vienna's illus- citizens and residents of Vienna, and |trious dead will be accorded a as it seemed only fit and proper that place in the colonnades.
