afford to carry freight thither at cheaper

Srr,—lIs it possible that our public spirit- ed citizens will permit the discredit to fair city, which it has so long obtained, to remain for another year: to wit, the want of a new hotel, corresponding to some eX- tent to the present and prospective require- ments of the citizens and our visiting friends from abroad. The writer has had from intending visitors during the present season, numerous enquiries touching the existing hotel accommodation in our city, and it has been his forced and unpleasant duty to say in reply to such enquiries, that the hotel accommodation was sadly faulty. An opportunity now offers which may not be repeated for a long time to come.

The *“*Welsh & Owen” brick building on (Jueen Street may now be bought at a great bargain, and the expenditure of a few thou- sand dollars would make it a very respect able hotel, with accommodation for perhaps ore hundred and fifty guests, with fine din- ing hall and oftices—it is centrally situated and most convenient to our commercial friends, for it is a matter of fact, that our hotel success inust depend largely on the custom of the travelling commercial com- munity. Ido sincerely hope that the mat- ter will be earnestly taken up by our patriotic citizens; and something will be done to remedy the present unhappy state of the hotel busimess in this city.

Further laformation in Regard to

the Canadian Paciifie,

A VERY: GENERAL STIRRING UP A GUARAN TEE FROM THE PENINSULAR AND ORIENTAL STEAMSHIP LINE OF FAST TIME ACROSS THE PACTFIC,

( dita Californian. )

The fact cannot be cdisvuised that the Canadian Pacitic has lem of transcontinental transportotion as a! most annoying as well as perplexing factor, | that is, so far as the other lines are con cerned. In view of this some items of fact may be of interest relative to the Canadian Pacific in its bearing as a rival of the other overland routes. Information received by the Rio de Janeiro indicates asa foregone conclusion a steamship connection between Br itish Columbia at the eastern terminal of the Canadian Pacitic and Japan and China. That this would establish a quicker route to Kurope is vigorously maintained. AND 0. GUARANTEES.

The statement comes direct from the office of the Peninsular and Oriental line in Yokohama that that company guarantees a steamer connection with Victoria, based on & minimum of thirteen miles an hour, or an ocean route 600 miles less than from San Francisco. As to the speed of the P. & O. steamships there is no question. The com- pany possesses eighty-six vessels of every class and tonnage. It will therefore be apparent that a selection might be made of steamers rivalling, if not defying, any com- petition in time or accommodation that might be presented by the present lines out of San Francisco. Ii the competition is to be met, more effective means than are now possessed by California companies must be adopted. It isto be borne in mind that the steamer lines at each end.of the Cana- dian Pacific will be subsidized, and will operate in connection with a railway practi- cally owned by the Dominion Government. The P. & O. guarantees the trip between Victeria and Yokohama in twelve days, also that effective communication will be made to accommodate the trade between Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

THE CARRIAGE OF MAILS,

Already the United States Post Office Department has been notitied of the early discontinuance of the sending of English mails through San Francisco—thus antici pating the new route which is to be i

WHAT THE P.

mace in from twenty-two to twenty-five days be- tween London, Liverpool and _ trans-Pacitie ports. For some reason there exists a widespread opinion, not shared in by the managers of the road, that the winter sea son will be an obstacle to traffic on the Canadian line. Every precaution is to be made against any-longcontinued blockade by the builéing of snow sheds on the prin cipal adopted along the line of the Central Pacific, which latter line, notwithstanding ® more rigorous climate than any of the other lines having terminal facilities in this city, has suffered less interruption in its trattiic than any of the others. It ap- pears then that a shorter distance on the Atlantic, less of rail travel and a material reduction on the Pacific Ocean route, with the possible pick of the swiftestof the P. & O. Company's steamers, are Bke links of apurely and very complete English all- round-the-world line. THE GLOBE-ENCIRCLING SYSTEM

is then the line which will enter the field against a purely local interest centered in lines fairly well maintained by corporations, wlhiype chief success has been the demand which has heretofore existed. It is evident that, should this English system be per- fected as is contemplated, all American nines will be sensibly affected, the old a8 well as the new.

oan passenger agents assert that they

do not look upon the Canadian Pacific as a |

rival in any sense, but the agent of that road appears to be more than satisfied with the freight and passenger business. already secured by his line, and looks forward to a speedy augumentation of traflie. Probably the following extract, taken from a_ recent issue of the Chicago Times, is a very fair statement of the case. Since the article was written the Canadian Pacific has begun a fight on passenger business, \ GENERAL STIRRING UP.

‘‘The Canadian Pacific is stirring up the other transcontinental roads in a way not altogether to their liking. It promises to give them no peace in its competition for through tratlic, and, although it has not opened tire on the passenger business yet, it is inaking things warm for the freight men. It was stated by a prominent freight agent yesterday that a leading San Fran- cisco commission firm had secured a rate of 55 cents a hundred on canned goods from San Francisco to Chicago over the Canadian lines and its connections. In many other lines of shipment upheld by the old trans- continental pool roads las been cut by the Canadian Pacilie from 30 to 50 per cent.

‘The Canadisa Pacific people are get- ting after us with a vengeance,” remarked a traflic manager yesterday, ‘‘and it really looks serious for the American roads. What is worse, there is no prospect of the ultimate victory of our lines. ‘Tio buy off Van Horne’s company would require an annual subsidy of $1,000,000. ‘That is what it has cost to keep the Pacifie Mail out of the field, and the Canadians have a very high opinion of their road and the place it fills in the field of transportation. Compared with other lines running across the country, the Canadian Pacific is almost free from debt, and it can therefore be operated on a closer margin than the American lines, which means low rates and fierce competition. I understand. that Elijah Smith, President of the Oregon Rail way and Navigation Company, thinks that his cot upany will lose business from Puget Sound points, but that it can afford to let it all go to its competitor without feeling the loss very much, as the trattic at present is small. I doubt very much whether the Oanadian Pacitic will be able to secure and maintain supremacy in the tea-shipping line. The Pacific Mail and the Northern Pacific are keen competiturs, and they have already run the rates from Yokohama to Chicagu and New York down to the lowest rates at which there is any {don’t think the new transcontinental route can do much

| hetter for tea-shippers in the way of low

rates. i also very much doubt whether the Canadian Pacitie will be able to ente® into successful competition in the English tea Janal route, alth ugh | it intends to make an effort to secure this trathe.”
