Americans Will Control the New
Trans-Pacific Lines.
LOS ANGELES. Cal. Dec. 6.-The
much discussed steamship line from
japan to a Southern California port,
which japanese capital is said to have
been toying with for some months will
be owned by Americans. The press
dispatches from Chicago stated that E.
&. Potter, som of O. w. Potter, the
noted finaneier Of that city. is work.
ing on the establishment of such
steamship line
It is learned from Secretary Willard,
OF the chamber of commerce. that the
news is correct and that the entire
affair is in a fair way to be successful.
Mr. Potter has been in Southern Call
fornia for some days and is now at the
Coronado hotel. The project is backed
by himself in conjunction with the
largest holders Of Santa Fe securities
and the Cramps ship builders at Phil
adelphia. The project will not be Of
f1cially connected with the Santa Fe
railway, but will be in full sympathy
with that corporation. The capital
stock will be probably $10,000.000 ana
pledges for large portion have al
ready been made.
The chamber of commerce here has
taken the matter in hand and is push
ing forward with zeal.
The plan is to have built the finest
passenger steamers of the day, cost
ing $1,500,000 each, to be 5000 tons
burden, in all particulars to excel the
best of the p and O.. vessels. The
projectors figure that East India trav-
elers to England will save at least
three days time as against the Sue1
route. The time on freight will also
be materially reduced and rates con-
siderably reduced. The whole enter
prise is based on the lines of mag
nif1cence and the greatest possible
speed with the expectation of depriv-
ing the Canadian Pacific of its trade
and the English P. and o. steamers OF
a good proportion of theirs. The service
is to be semi-monthly at least The
port has not been selected, but is likely
to be San Diego. until San Pedro is
made a deep water harbor.

MADRID is ANXIOUS
As to the Possible Effect of the
Presidents Message

NEW YORK, Dec 5-,A dispatch from
Madrid says: Intense anxiety is felt by all
classes concerning what President Cleveland
may say in his message about Cuba and sub
scquent action by the American congress-
In official circles this anxiety, though sup
pressed, is even keener than it is in I'M
servatiyes perceive that many people in
Spain are inclined to believe that If President
Cleveland's language is sufficiently concilia-
tory to pave the way for an understanding
between Spain and the United States for an
honorable settlement implying no infringe
inert of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba, such
an impression probably will be made on the
public mind and on the court itself as may
induce Queen Christina to change the present
war ard repressive policy in Cuba for more
liberal enc. The government will allow no
demonstration when the news of the attitude
assumed by America arrives. The authorities
are instructed to act energetically.

My judgment is that the owners of
the Short Line property, as reorgan-
ized,Twill operate it as an independent
property, though probably not in hos
tility to the interests of the Union
Pacific. It will not materially affect
the existing tariff relations. 1t will
undoubtedly injuriously affect the

would let in all competing lines and

A BISMARCK special to the Fargo
Argus says that some time ago an
organization was formed in that city
for the purpose of supporting a
movement to have the prohibition
question resubmitted. 1t is stated
that at meeting OF the organization
held in Bismarck a few days ago it
was decided to ask similar organ
izations which have been quietly
formed in Emmons, Mclean, Nor
ton, Stark and other Missouri slope
counties, to hold a convention in
the near future at Mandan to raise
funds, ETC., for making an aggressive
campaign. Steps are also to be
taken towards organizing similar
societies in the other counties of the
state. This is very nice program,
but it is doubtful if after all this hard
work, whether the ants can carry
the state.
