OUR OCEAN TRAFFIC.
The Dominion Line Will Not Come Here
Next Season.

The Grand Trunk Railway company
have completed their tran "A tlantic steam
ship arrangements from Portland for the
coming winter season. Owing to the
large increase in the European business
OF the company, under the direction OF
the general traffic manager, Mr.. George
B. Reeve, the Grand Trunk have this
season been forced to secure greater
steamship accommodation to handle their
business out of Portland. 1t is stated on
good authority that a new line to Liver
pool will be operated from Portland in
connection with the Grand Trunk dur
ing the coming season, to take the place
of the vessels of the Dominion line
The name Of the new line is withheld
at present, pending the arrival in Canada
of the principals of the company and the
final signing of the contracts which will
take place in the course of few days.
Contracts have already been entered in
to with the Allan line for fortnightly
service to Glasgow, with the Thomson
line. for q weekly service to London !;
with the Hamburg-Ame line for a
monthly service to Antwerp and with
the Elder Dempster line for fortnightly
service to Bristol. The contract for the
service between Portland and Liverpool
has not yet been formally signed by the
new steamship company. but it has been
arranged that there shall be two sailings
week by the vessels of the new company
and the Allan line.
In making these arrangements the man
ageInent of the Grand Trunk are evident
ly making strong bid for a larger share
of the western grain carrying trade by
providing a more satisfactory outlet for
the large crops that have been harvested
in the Canadian northwest and the west
ern grain growing states of the Ameri.
can Union.
Most of tn, vessels that will ply from
Portland during the winter season have
been docking in Montreal during the
present season.
| 1t is understood that the Dominion
line, owing to dispute with this Grand
Trunk railway will not send any steam.
ers to Portland this coming winter.
| Mr.. John Torrance. Jr., admitted to a
Montreal Star reporter that the company s
steamers would not run to Portland this
winter, but stated that the reasons for
reaching this conclusion were Of a private
character.
The Dominion line usually placed three
steamers on the Portland service. 1t has
made that point winter port since 1876,
with the exception of one season, when
the Grand Trunk chartered it own steam.

THE SUBWAY COMPLETED.

Boston, September 3.-The third and
last station of tho subway, which has
been built to relieve the street traffic of
the city, was opened to the public
5.45 O'Clock this morning when the first
car ran under ground through the heart
Of the city. The public, however, is
now thoroughly acquainted with subway
travel as two sections, one from Pleasant
street to Park street. and the other from
the Public Gardens to Park street, have
been in operation for nearly a year.
The actual length of the subway is one
and two-third miles, having trackage
of about five miles. There are three
functions by which the surface cars en-
ter and leave.
The cost of the subway to date. includ-
ing material, work, real estate, etc., is
S., 1856. 600. The work Of the Rapid Tran
sit company has been pushed with con-
siderable vigor and as a result they have
completed the gigantic undertaking
more than ten months under the time
limit. The ground was first broken by
Gov. Greenhalge on March 49, 1894.

he s21 on q thousand. This is an increase
from $40. 80 on thousand. The rate was

A HOT SATURDAY.
But 1t Didn', Break September Record.

Saturday was one of the hottest days we
have had this summer, the thermometer
reaching 81 degrees at two o'clock in the
afternoon. After four o'clock there was
a decided change in the atmosphere and
the Thermometer fell rapidly until Mt
eight O'Clock in the evening the mercury
registered 60 degrees, a drop of "a degrees
in four hours. This was due to the wind
shifting from northwest to southeast,
swinging to. the opposite end of the weather
vane. This hot wave has been general
all over the country. On the weather
map Saturday the hot wave spread over
the whole eastern section of the country.
West of the Mississippi river, however,
there was marked change and the Their
mometer fell much lower. which would
indicate that Monday and Tuesday would
be decidedly cooler. The reason that the
heat was felt so much Saturday was ow
ing to the fact that the humidity (the
moisture in the air) was much higher,
being "a per cent. Last year on the hot
test day the humidity was only SO per
cent.
Last year the hottest day was Septem-
Der 10th, the thermometer indicating 81
degrees. September IL, 1896, it was 70
degrees. September I, 1881, the Their
mometer showed 81 degrees. The record
shows that it is not unusual to have a
hot wave in September.
