lines British and foreign, had been over
Fl, ,250,00o He maintained that the Cunard
Company had held their own.
The policy of building the Lucania and
Campania had been singularly successful,
the revenue from saloon passengers hav-
ing increased fS4,000, though the second
cabin and steerage traffic had been seri-
ously impaired. The British companies,
he said, were desperately handicapped
by the bounties paid to foreign steam
ships. While the Cunard and White
Star lines received a mere pittance for
postal work, the American line would,
after October next. receive over f3, ,00d
per voyage for carrying the mails.
Arrangements had been made with the
Government by which delay would be
obViated at Queenstown on Sundays,
when ships could depart early in the
morning instead of having to wait for
the mails until afternoon. This would
ensure their earlier arrival in New York
With the improvements which were now
in progress in the arrangements for land
ing passengers, Liverpool, he said would
not be disparaged by rival ports. The
