PACIFIC COMMERCE.

Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High
Commissioner to London, was recently
interviewed in Montreal by a WifneSs
reporter, regarding the projected c. P.
R. lines of Pacific steamers AS to the
line TO China, he said that just before
leaving London he had an interview
with the Colonial and Foreign Secre-
taries, and both expressed themselves
highly in favor OF the proposal, being
keenly alive to the advantages which
would be obtained not only in a com
mercial but in defensive sense. Par,
lament, Sir Charles believed, would
soon be asked to sanction the project
and to grant Imperial aid in carrying it
out. He added: "The subject of cable
and steam communication between
Vancouver and the Australian colonies
has also been favorably received, parti.
cularly by the representatives of the
latter and when the preliminary ar
rangements are complete believe there
will be no difficulty about obtaining
funds to carry out the project"
