WASHINGTON. Sept. 5.-An interesting docu-

controversy rver the question of tolls through
the canals along the Canadian frontier is the
forthcoming report on the commerce of the
great lakes by :. G.. Brock, chief of the bureau
of statistics 1t contains much of historical
nature which has never before been publish he'd
in a connected form. well the exhaustive
and complete statistics of the growth and ex-
tent of the lake traffic. The vast extent of the
territory covered by and tributary to the great
lakes and the volume of business transacted
thereon are Little known. The total basin area
Is 2anOW square miles, embraces more than
half the fresh water area of the globe and ,
coast line in tue United States extends over
300 miles. The extreme distance in the Unit d
States east and west is 1,2s9 miles and north
and south 800 miles.

population of over a6,U0o0l. In these eight
states over thirty-six cities have "A popula-

ways along and through the lakes the report
says: Liberal appropriations have been made
in the past that have resulted in great i'm
provements of the channels. and the policy
now appears to be to enlarge and deepen all
channels as to render the lakes west of Buff
sfalo navigabe to vessels drawing twenty feet
of water. BY this means not only will the
channels be available for the increasing size of
the vessels. but the traffic of the lakes will be
greatly increased. Commendable progress has
been made in this direction and the work Is
still advancing.
Costly But Profitable.
when these improvements are completed
the very murh Ia desired result of navigation for
vessels drawing twenty feet of water through
out the entire ch in of lakes from above On

be not only of incalculable benefit to the COM

amounting to nearly 100. assisted in dragging
the craft across the bar Flags were then
raised on the schooner and she sailed up the

The fresh cases of cholera discovered yester-
day number Ss9. The deaths numbers Com
pared with Saturday the decrease of the num-
ber of es is 7S; of the number of deaths rs.
There is much loose official talk to the effect
that the worst is over; that the plague is abat-
ing, and that the people are recovering from
their panic. This talk is echoed by the news
papers. 1t would be difficult to name any
specific sign of returning confidence among the
people, and the mortality from the plague in
the last two days certainly gives little basic
for it.
Catching Up with the Deaths.
About 200 bodies were still unburied at
O'Clock last evening. With the new dead
wagons however, these bodies can be Inferred
together with those of fresh victims within the
next twenty-four hours, unless the plague
should spread more rapidly than now seems

five minutes and on the roads to the cemeteries
they pass in almost continuous lines.

MAINE STEAMSHIP co.
Will Hold An Important Meeting
Today.

A Plan to Build Floating Pier in New
York-The Freighting Business Taxed
to Its Utmost-The Popular Passenger
Route from the West.
An important meeting of the directors
of the Maine Steamship Company will
be held this morning. 1t would have
been held before, but for the severe i'll
ness of President Bailey, who will be
able to attend today.
The meeting has been called to con-
slider ways and means to accommodate
the great quantities Of freight that ac-
cumulate in the company freight sheds
OH their pier in New York. 1t seems
that the New York she'd is piled on
either side. something as the waves are
pictured in the illustration of Pharoah's
crossing the Red Sea. There has to be
driveway kept open the whole length
of the she'd sufficient to permit teams to
pass each other that are going in oppo-
site directions. The pack of corn the
present season promises to be of eX-
tremely fine quality, and will amount to
at least 100000 cases; perhaps more.
The pack, as has been previously stated,
is all sold out, and the Maine Steamship
Company will move the bulk of it. Not
only the corn, but the great pack of 9th
er canned goods, vegetables, fruit. sar-
dimes, etc, will go by the same route.
Now all this stuff must be accommo-
dated in transitu in New York, as well
as all the great general freight of the
line. Manager Coyle has conceived a
capital scheme to take care of it all, and
the plans have been drawn by Mr.. Rus
sell. 1t is nothing more nor less than
great floating pier to be connected with
their regular New York pier. This float
ing pier will be formed something after
the pattern of a scow, will be two stor-
led and housed, 1875 feet in length by 35
feet in breadth. In appearance twill be
something like great Noah's Ark and
will have observation houses on top
where employees will be stationed to look
after it. 1t will give fine accommodation
for the freight and will be useful also in
many other ways. 1t can be used to adj
vantage in New York as the tides do not
have fall of more than four feet.
People have no idea of the business
that is being done by the various trans
portation lines of this state. The Bos-
ton Journal of yesterday speaks of the
business that the Maine sum-
mer resorts are enjoying. Full to over
flowing is the sign everywhere. And
the Maine Steamship Company is bring
ing tremendous amount of this pas
senger traffic from the West. 1t is diff
cult to secure state rooms even week
ahead. Manager Coyle has an eye to
what the public wants, he is so thorough
ly familiar with the tourist trade and he
has made the ships popular by their fine
good table, and unva
rying courtesy of attendants. Men of
the highest prominence in the country
seek this way of coming to Portland as
the most comfortable and free from an
noyance at this time of year.
