NEW LINE FROM CHICAGO TO NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
COMPETITION
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.-The event OF the past
week IN this city Is the opening for business OF new
Eastern Trunk line. The Chicago, Port Huron and Can
ada Railroad Companyh have commenced running through
trains in connection with the Grand Trank Railway OF
Canada This road the western connection oil the
Grand Trunk, which forms junction with 1t at Port
Huron opposite the western terminus OF the
Grand Trunk The new line passes through
the finest part of Michigan, tapping sixteen
important roads. II connects with the Bay city
division OF the Michigan Central at Lapecr and with te
Flint and Perc Marquette Railroad at Flint at Duand
with the Detroit and Milwaukee; at lansing with the
Jackson Lansing and Saginaw, tie Detroit, Lansing and
Lake Michigan and the branch of the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern at Charlotte, with the Grand River
Valley Division OF the Michigan Central; at Battle
Creek with the main line Of the Central at schoolcra
with tho Kalamazoo Division Of the Lake Shore at
Nchshgh. with the Grand Rapids aud Indiana ;
at Cassopolis with the Air Line of the
Michigan Central; at South Bend, with the
main line OF the Lake Shore; at saltwater,
with the indianapolis and Peru; at Haskeils with the
Louisville and NewAlbany and Chicago, ana at Napa-
raiso Ind with the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne and chi
caPo over which track il has the right OF way TO TINS
city for long term OF years-a total distance OF $40
miles from Chicago Port Huron. This gives the Grand
Trunk line from Boston TO Chicago much shorter than
via the Michigan Central Railway. Since the completion
OF the line It has given the Grand Trunk 20 carloads OF
freight per day. The Grand Trunk have loaned the road
900 cars and it is having built by the Michigan Car
Company 800 more all Of which will be put into the new
Chicago and NORTHEAST fast freight line between Bos
ton and Chicago.
The freight so fur forwarded to the East has been ut
rates below those now in force. IL is new line, and
while II is not wanting in advantages, its managers con-
cede the fact that present depression of business
their traffic must come to them from their older rivals
The numerous points at which they compete with the
Lake Shore and Michigan Central, renders 1t extremely
improbable that any combination 10 sustain rates which
does not provide for giving them fair share Of business
can be permanent.
