Claims of the Cunard Line.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Cunard Steam
shin COMPANY to-day issued a statement
showing the work OF its Atlantic line for
the past year. compared with the American
line Without taking advantage of days
on which no sailings were made by the
American line steamers, and also taking
into consideration accidents that i1terfered
with regular traffic, the statement shows
on the outward business a saving of forty
one days in favolr of the Cunard line, and
allowing three hours from the Needles and
cry of the mails in London, a saving of
twenty-three days is shown on inward
business in favor OF the Liverpool route.
The latter estimate is based on the returns
of the American line running part of the
year against the Cunard line and the re-
mainder against the White Star line.

not care to say anything about the verdict.
When a messenger reached her room with
the news she exclaimed: "Oh isn't it good?
Isn't 1t good?" and then burst into sobs.
Major Butterworth said: 81 don't care to
say anything" and walked, dejectedly,
away toward his office. There the present
Mrs. Breckenridge was awaiting events.
There is no reason TO believe the rumor
that she is about to apply for a divorce.
Major Butterworth characterizes the story
as wholly without foundation. The case. he
said, later in the evening. would be fought
to a finish along every available and proper
line.
That Miss Pollard will not be financially
bettered by the result of her case is prob
able, because it is we'll understood, and has
been said on trial. that Colonel Breckin-
ridge has no property. He has lived up to
his income for years, and, although his
wife has money, it does not seem likely
that she will care to expend it to satisfy
this Judgment.

At the meeting of the bridge cam

president aud superintendent Of the

several important points in city finances
which are not generally considered.
Mr.. Pond said that there are several
chartered companies that are liable to
be taxed after this year. The city
councils have been very generous in
granting them ten years exemption
from taxes
City Assessor Buenzlie, who was
present. complimeh.1 Mr.. Pond on his
suggestion, and stated that among
other companies that would be taxed
after this year would be
tse South works, which would
have to pay taxes on 500, 00C
assessment and the Sluquoit silk mill
would be assessed at $4,000. Further
than this, Mr.. Busnzh would not state.

atiOns of the city will more than pay

will be obliged to issue for the con =
struction Of the bridges besides the
