The Hudson's Bay Expedition.
NEW YORK, May 25th-COnsiderable in
terest is felt here III the Hudson's Bay eX-
petition, to sail from Halifax in few days
to solve the problem whether the Hudson
Straits can be nayigated by steamships for
a sufficient time in the summer to make
them an available route for grain from the
Northwest to Europe The railway from
Winnipeg to Montreal is expected to be
ready for heavy traffic this summer. The
distance is 400 miles. If, however, Hud-
sons Bay be found navigable, the railroad
will be constructed from Winnipeg to
| Churchill, saving, it is claimed, $50 miles
in the transportation Of wheat from the
| Northwest TO Liverpool.
The Times this morning says: If it
should be demonstrated that the Straits can
| be nayigated by steamships as early US the
end of May, and as late as the LIST of No
yember, then the early construction OF the
| railway to Fort Churchill is certain. Should
| the route prove success, its practical re-
suit W Id be to bring most of the farms in
| the Northwest 900 miles nearer the sea,
adding immensely 10 their value.
