PACIFIC CABLE.

+. c. Rowan of the Pacific Cable
Company, London, has written as
follows to Captain Rounding of the
Canadian Pacific Mail Service at
Sydney.
81 know that you take a serious
interest in this matter as being
also connected Immediately with
the Canadian Pacific steamboats,,
and we have been much con-
cerned lately to find that Sir John
Fender had made an arrangement
with certain of the colonies to
reduce the rates to As per word, tho
Colonies bearing half the loss, if
any. From that arrangement
Queensland has stood out, because
the Imperial government here has
declined to bear their proportion of
possible loss. With regard to New
Zealand l am somewhat doubtful,
but 1 think they have assented.
Observation-Disclosures it means this,
that Victoria, New South Wales
and New Zealand jointly may
have to bear the annual charge of
f54, 900. Now this is just about the
amount of the interest of the cap
ital sum which would be required,
from the latest and closest esti-
mates that we have, to construct
the cable from Queensland by the
flaming Islands, Fiji, Hawaii and
Vancouver. This latter expendi
ture, instead of falling on two or
three colonies, would be willingly
shared in by Canada, by Queens
land and by Tasmania, as well as
by the others, and not improbably
by the Imperial Government, mas
much as their refusal to contribute
to the possible loss under Sir John
Pender's proposed arrangement was
based on the fact that they could
not undertake to substitute cable
lines unless for political or strategy.

RAILROAD INTERESTS.

Superintendent Aver Of the Somerset
Railway is now pushing the line Of extern
sion from Scion to Bingham, distance of
eight miles. The grading was completed
last fall but owing to failure of contract on
the part Of the Berlin Bridge Company
the iron bridge at Carratunk Falls was not
finished in season to lay the steel. The
heavy spring rains have retarded matters to
a great extent, but now Foreman ID. o..
Sawtelle and crew of seventy men are
covering the gravel as rapidly as possible
The construction train is expected to get
into Bingham village in few days. The
opening run will probably be made over
the new line July 4.
The month of May has been phenome-
nal one in the passenger traffic of the Maine
Central The passenger receipts have in.
creased $40 ,000 over those for May 1889.
Pullman traias between Boston and Bangor
are among the heaviest if not the heaviest
trains in point of number of cars, passen-

by the carrying capacity. The ice ship
ments require six special trains daily, and
beside the local business and that hauled to
