THE BONDING PRIVILEGE.
VIII American Railroads Be Able {,

Hon. Peter Mitchell in Montreal in regard to
the report from Washington City that the United
states authorities intended to do away with the
bonding privilege. II fancy" said Mitchell.
shat their real ground of action is the
fact that the Canadian Pacific, which has
been largely antagonized by American
roads, Is securing a good deal OF business.
and 1t Is quite natural that the Pacific railways
of the United states should desire to cripple
successful rival. There are two sides TO the
question, and shall be surprised If the Atlantic
cities OF the states well as the great northern
section of that country, win tolerate being de-
priyed OF the privilege, il there is an advantage
70 them In having cars sealed at the
frontier, to simply TO meet the prejudiees and
promote the interests OF American through
roads. One thing is certain; anything that
limits transit competition by railways can only
be done at the expense of the people, and /
should hope that too much intelligence exists in
the strtcs to permit Sccretary Fosters proposed
order to long remain IN existence
Van Horn, president of the Canadian Pacific
railroad, was seen, but refused absolutely to
commit himself TO any statement.
Sergeant, manager of the Grand Trunk said
he did not think there was any intention ON the
part oil the American government to disturb the
treaty. The abolition of consular sealing will
cause Inconvenience, but the Withdrawal of
bonding privileges does not mean suspension of
bonded regulations generally. They will no
donbt continue, even should there be modii-
cation of the present scaling privileges.
President Frank Jones, of the Boston < Maine
railroad, and President Arthur Sewcl, of the
Maine Central road, who were seen in Boston
on the subject, said the proposed regulations
would tend to clog commerce and interfere with
the business of railroads. Both considered that
the announcement from Washington City was

Seattle, Lake 9here = Bastern Goldon
Spike to BE Driven Soou.
sUAAs CRY, April 1l--fspecial IA party Of
Seattle, Lake Shore 4 Eastern railroad oficials
visited this place on Friday last TO inspect the
new line, preparatory 20 opening the road to
general transportation, which win take place on
April Is. At present regular Lake Shore trains
run to Sedro, and . construction train Is run
from there to Sumss City - often - the neces-
stiles of construction require. This lack OF SER
vice has made it very inconvenieut for eumas
merchants purchasing goods in Seattle, also
builders in obtaining dry lumber. The only
regular train service is that of an accommoda-
ton train twice day on the Beliingham Bay
& British Columbia railroad, by which oil goods
are brought in. Full service will take
place on the entrance of the Canadian
Pacific, whose track-layers are only four and
onc-haif miles away. The grade 10 completed
and the track will be connected with the Seattle,
Lake Shore & Eastern and BelIirgham Bay
& British Columbia about May /, when the
golden spike Will be driven ct the boundary
city with festivities. The Canadian Pacific
reaches New Westminster by q branch road
from Westminster junction, on the north side
of the Fraser river. The Westminster Southern
reaches Liverpool. on the south side of the
Fraser river, opposite New Westminster, neces-
stating the rehandling Of freight and passen-
gers to and from the south by ferry. As the
Canadian Pacific has built long and ex-
pensive bridge across the Fraser at Mission,
eleven miles north. to connect with the Ameri-
can lines here, it is reasonable to suppose that
al through traffic will be by the way of Sumas
City. custom Office is to be established, q
switch engine bonded, and full arrangements
made to handle freight aud baggage in accord
ance with customs laws.

GREAT NORTHERN AT SPOKANE.
Main Line Passes Ten Miles North-A
Loop Will BE Built.

The Spokane Reriew SAYS: Engineer Percy
Holbrook, of the Great Northern, is now at
work running preliminary lines in the vicinity
Of where the Spokane & Northern crosses the
Little spokane. There is great deal of specu-
lation Us to where the probable route OF the line
will be from that point, and people are naturally
curious to know how the road will run to this
city. From one who has been in q position to
know something about the plans of the route it
was learned yesterday that the road will strike
the Little Spokane river very near the point
where the Spokane 4 Northern crosses. lnfor-
mationsvas gathered as follows:
The plan in view is to make temporary traffic
arrangements with the Spokane & Northern and
the Union Pacific until the main line is built
through to the Coast. The main line, or what
might be termed cutoff to join the main line,
will start where the road crosses the Little Spo-
kane, following down that river to its mouth,
then up the Spokane river to Coulec creek.
When the main line is finished they will build
a loop from point about ten miles north of
Spokane. The line will run practically parallel
with the Spokane & Northern to the Union
Pacific depot. An air line forming the other part
Of the loop will start from the depot and
will be built along the Spokane river
70 point opposite Coulee creek, where it will
connect with the cutoff. The main line will be
built across the Spokane river from that point
and up Cou!ee creek westerly. All through
freights will run over tie cutoff and all passen-
gers trains and local freight will come to Spo-
kane
Where the branch IL made at the crossing of
the Little Spokane it is proposed to build freight
yards and shops The yards in Spokane will be
small. and the main yards will be built on the
outside where property is cheap. Mr.. d. c. Cor
bin W . interviewed last night In reference to
the traffic arrangement, and said that no such
arrangements had been mentioned to him.
He said that there were two ways for the road
10 get to the city. One could be made practic-
ally following his road ,or from the mouth of the
Little spokane up the spokane river 1t has been
said that the latter route Is the one contem-
plated by the Great Northern, but if SO it viii be
little more than spur, and freight will run
back and forth on the same track,
