"flic Suez Canal - — ' * It is a fact not generally known, ■writes a London correspondent, that the Suez Canal is not yet completed according^) the terms of the concession J granted by M.. do Lesseps. It is not nearly ) wide -enough, although the European Powers have agreed to regard it as complete, provided 27,000,000 francs be expended upon it during the next 27 years. Even by this arrangement the canal will not be finished til* theyear 1909. When this faqt /i* regarded m connection with the promises jnadeby M. de Lesseps m regard to other canals, reliability of his estimates j *nd 'undertakings, may be estimated.
