CROSSING IN THREE DAYS.

Canadians Evolve . scheme for . Lab
rad0r Railroad and . New Ocean Line.
QUEBEC. Aug. 1.-THE shortening of the
transatlantic passage to q three days
voyage Is an inducement now held out to
the Canadian government by the pro-
moters of new Labrador railway scheme.
The proposal involves the establishment
of an ocean steamship port at Port Mana
ham, which is situated on Lewis inlet,
about sixty miles north of the straits OF
Belle Isle 1t is claimed that the short
crossing between Port Manaham and Mil
ford Haven, in Wales. could be easily
made in seventy-two hours by the grey
hounds now running between New York
and Liverpool.
1t is claimed by the authors of the
scheme that during the season the
navigation of almost all mails
between Europe and America, as
we'll 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 for a line of railway
from Quebec to Labrador. The westward
connections of the projected line would
be more easily controlled by the Canadian
Pacific people than by anybody else.
