GEORGE OLDs, the general traffic manager of
the Canadian Pacific railroad, says the New
York World, writes concerning the proposed
steamship and railroad service between England
and China by way Of the Canadian route and
says that the dominion government is already
negotiating for the steamship service. The dis
lance between Halifax and Liverpool is nearly
500 miles less than between New York and
Liverpool and as this difference amounts TO
nearly two days sailing time, the advantage of
the shorter ocean route is apparent The pro-
posed fast Atlantic service is TO be supplemented
by fast express train service from Halifax
during the winter and from Quebec during the
summer months to Vancouver, and by fast
trans-Pacific steamship service, for which YES
sells equal and superior in some respects to the
Ieutonic are now under construction. The dis
lance from Halifax to Vancouver is 1858 miles,
and, according to Mr.. Odds, can be covered
easily in ninety hours, as it requires only con-
tlnuous running at trife under forty miles an
hour, speed exceeded daily by many of the
Canadian Pacific express trains. They have en-
CINE houses and repair shops located at a dis
lance or l3p miles apart over the whole length
OF the main line. If this scheme is carried into
operation It VIII bring the Pacific coast within
ten days OF Queenstown, a statement which an
pears almost incredible.
The fact that two banks in New York. saws
the Sun, are popularity known by the same
name, gives rise continually to no small amount
of confusion. One is a savings bank and the
other state bank. Both are within a few
blocks OF each other on the Bowery, and each is
known as the Bowery bank Barring incon
venience arising from mistaken identity the
coincidence makes no difference to either hank
SO long as they both continue in their present
highly prosperous condition. But If one should
fail or meet with any loss the other would nm
questionably suffer greatly by it. The Bowery
savings bank has already had some experience
of this. 1t claims the name Bowery by right of

opposite, and under the same name
In the panic of 1857 this bank
suspended The Bowery Savings Bank was as
prosperous as lord. But the cry 1.-THE Bowery
Bank has been suspended" was raised when
the other bank Of the same name went up, and
the result was tremendous run upon the saw
lngs bank. People thought that was the sus-
pended bank. The officials used every device
to inspire confidence, even to heaping up gold
in piles upon tables where everybody cond see
it. But the sight of the great quantities of gold
seemed only to make deposftors the more anx-
1ouS to get their money out while there was any
left; The present state bank, which makes use
OF the saI name, was originally organized as
a national bank, and called itself the Bowery
National Bank. 1t has since put itself under
the state system as the Bowery Bank.
