CANADIAN SHIP RAILWAY
Road Will BE in Operation Early in 1891
The Panama Canal.

New YORK, Sept 16-Sir Benjamin Baker.
who is paying flying visit to this country as
the head OF the English syndicate which bought
the Hudson river tunnel, says concerning the
new ship railway from the Bay of Fundy to the
Gulf of st. Lawrence. which is now in course of
constructions:
1.-THE raj road will be about seventeen miles
in length. The lomotives for hauling on the
railroad are exceptionally powerful, being
eight-wheeled, each weighing eighty tons The
saving of time in transit will be enormous
When you consider that while it now takes
three days to go from the bay to the gulf, the
time occupied on our road will be about two
hours and half. We have now /, 400 men at
work, and hope to see the roadway opened in
the spring of 1891. II not before The Canadian
government has guaranteed the company $780,
600 year for twenty years"
Referring to the possibility of connecting the
Panama canal with ship railway, Sir Benja-
min remarked:
The cuttings of the canal, 80 far as COM
pleted, are adapted for the construction of the
locks as proposed by De LeSseps, aad not for tho
inclines necessary Tor q ship railroad. From q
careful examination of the working plans of
the canal, as 1t stands at present, estimate the
lowest possible cost OF its completion TO be $500
00o,0oo. 1t is. ia my opinion, quite impossible
for any financial com oination TO raise money
sufficient to complete the Panama canal, either
as a canal or ship railway The latter scheme
would involve an outlay OF s15o,0000O The
plan OF the Nicaragua is entirely different from
tnat of the Panama canal. and Il is obviously of
such importance to the United States that
have no doubt some means will be found for
making it,"
