Plenty Of Communication

New Zealand already has fortnightly
communication with England, while
between Sydney and the mother coun-
try, with three lines of steamships
already established, and fourth, the
North German Lloyd's, soon to be,
there are already passages made more
frequently than once a week, which
will in the. near future be increased to
twice. AS to the comfort of the
traveller, the outlook also is not very
promising by the new route. Steamers
sailing from Sydney to Victoria, or
whatever point shall be finally chosen
as the terminus Of the Canadian Pacific,
would make the entire voyage directly
in the teeth Of the northeast trades,
which could not but render the trip
anything but agreeable. Then again
travellers generally leave Australia for
England in February, and no one needs
to be told what the character of the
weather would be at this time in the
northern seas, and, for that matter,
upon the mainland along this line Of
railroad. AS to any considerable freight
traffic between Canada and the South
Sea colonies being built up, there are
also some objections, prominent among
them being the fact that these two
divisions Of England's colonial empire
produce very much the same staples
meat, wool and grain.
4 Chine Trade Possibfe.
Except there be possibility of estab-
fishing China trade, Mr.. Center did
not see any very promising future for
the Canadian, Pacific. How this pro-
| ject would succeed he did not pretend
to say, but thought it possible that the
two steamers, the Zeaiaadia and the
44nsfyaiia, might have been Withdrawn
by their owners from the Australian
mail service with some idea Of further
ling such project. This, however
was but a surmise.
While the present arrangement by
which his company's steamers, the
Ma,Ibosa and Akameda, carry tn,
mails direct to Sydney instead Of .onl,
TO Honolulu, as was originally intended
was to be but temporary, is nevertheless,
possible, Mr. Center states, that the,

No DISQUALIFICATION soith Ger,nany.
WASHINGTON, November 2Ist-As
sistant Secretary OF State Porter says
emphatically that this Government has,
SO far, not had the slightest dissatisfac-
ton with the course of the German
Government towards our naturalization
laws or the Culver treaty that when
the German authorities have proceeded
against German-Americans, in any man
ner for cause, the German Govern
ment has invariably yielded to our re-
quest, and that in the very few cases
where German officials have over
stepped their authority and molested
German-Americans without cause, it
has promptly needed and respected
our protests and made reparation. The
statement that the President had called
for papers in relation to several Ger
man-Americans who had been put in
the German army is unfounded.
