A SHORT CUT TO EUROPE.
Northern Pacific Said to he Interested
I'm Labrador Road.

A dispatch from Quebec says: ''The shorten
ing of the transatlantic passage TO a three days
voyage Is the inducement now held out 10 the
Canadian government by the promoters of the
new Labrador railway scheme. The proposal
involves the establishment of an ocean steam
chip port a. Port Markham. which is situated
upon Lewis inlet, abou: sixty miles north of the
straits of Belle Isle. II is claimed that the short
crossing between Port Marnham and Milford
Haven, in Wales, could be easily made in
seventy two hours bv the greyhounds now run
ming between New York and Liverpool.
SIT is claimed by the authors OF the scheme
that during the season of navigation almost ali
the mails between Europe and America. a. well
as the bulk of the passenger trade. would follow
the shortest existing route. Public interest in
the scheme has been awakened In Canada by the
publication OF the report OF survey OF a line OF
railway from Quebec 10 Labrador.
"The westward connections OF the projected
line would be more easily controlled by the
Northern Pacific people than by anybody else,
and railroad men are now asking If it is with
this object in view that Mr.. Mcknight. of that
corporation, and his friend John G. Emo. and
Others connected with them, have secured a

discussion was informal, the question of reduc-

New York taking up most of the afternoon. Tho
subject of the adjustment of under and over
charges was referred to the committee to formu-

members that some plan can be arrived at
whereby such under or over charges can be ad-

being done by the present method, which in

Arguments were heard in Washington by the

and Michael Schwah, the Chicago Anarchists.
The ground on which the cases come before

ing been put in force, the Supreme Court Of the
STATE Of Illinois. on Sept. IL. 1857, pronounced
