FAILURE OF THE KIEL CANAL.
The Cologne Gazette of July 7 deems it advisable to treat seriously the question raised by Russia as to Germany's exolnsive right to levy tolls upon vessels passing through the Baltic Sea Canal. The public is nob interested in tha discussion of this question, but it is actively concerned in the report that the canal is destined to be a failure. The Vossiehe Zeitung declares that if large merchant vessels cannot risk a passage of the canal it will be wholly useless as a means of rapidly uniting the Baltic and North Sea. Warships will not be able to pass through unless the oanal is deepened and widened. The journal beseeches the Government to explain the condition of affairs and frankly confess the errorß in construction rather than allow the country to indulge in dangerous delusions.
