THE PORTLAND BUSINESS.
A Gratifying Featured Of the Grand Trunks
Annual Report.

At the annual meeting of the share
holders Of the Grand Trunk railway OF
Canada, held in London Tuesday, Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson, the president, said
the principle which the present board had
always followed was to seek the maxi
mum amount Of business at the mini
mum cost. He congratulated them upon
the results of this policy, which, he said,
was best illustrated by the fact that the
road during the last half year had hauled
1874 freight cars per train, compared with
1913 freight cars per train during the pre-
ceding half year.
January /, 1899, was the first time since
1890 that the Grand Trunk company had
been free from debt, but, while this was
satisfactory, the shareholders must be
prepared for an expenditure from the
capital account, owing to the necessity
for strengthening the line in order to
haul heavier loads. This would begin on
June begin saving 5000 pounds yearly by
a reduction of interest, owing to the re-
demption of the six per cent bonds. The
expenditure from the capital account
would be spread over a series of years. SO
as not to cripple any particular year.
Referring to the rate war, the president
made q long exposition of the differences
with the Canadian Pacific Railroad com
pany, beginning with the Toronto and
North Bay disputes. He declared the
Canadian Pacific desired an exclusive
contract with the Grand Trunk. in order
to weaken the Chicago connection and
damage the Grand Trunks connecting
roads to Chicago The Grand Trunk rail-
road, the speaker explained. would never
give up its close alliance with its allies.
On the larger question Of differentiale
and the Klondike business, the president
said, later, the Canadian Pacific had yet
to prove its title to diTerential The
negotia tions would he continued next
month, when, it was belieyed, an agree
ment would be reached. The president
also declared the future was filed with
the brightest promise.
An attack upon tho board was made by
Mr.. Baker of Bristol, who declared there
was no tfuUn III the staoeAlenu VI tAe
president regarding the Grand Trunk
railroad not beginning rate war, which,
according to Mr.. Baker, was brought
about in the interest of the American
allies of the road.
The report of an agreement with the
Wabash railroad for access to Detroit was
adopted unanimously.
The retiring directors and auditors were
reelected.

The rumors of war have materially
effected the shipping business There is
not very great demand for American
vessels for foreign business and the coast
wise trade is not very brisk. War risks
will have to be taken on all vessels sailing
out of the United States after war is de-
clared and this will not add very much to
the profits of the shipping business. For

CARRETSON'S

Coming Of Americans to

Creates Great Enthusiasm

laTIy as The ArtIIIeyman Lumhered
By Believed That Spanish Will
Act Only on Defensive.

PONCE Porto Rico), Aug. /. 8 a. M.
VIA 81 Thomas. Aug. >, noon-The
Porto Ricans of Ponce lined the streets
by the hundreds and filled the air with
cheering on the arrival of General Car
retson's brigade from Yauco. The ar
rival of these troops and those OH the
st. Louis makes the fighting strength
of the Americans now operating near
Ponce about 1900 men, equal to the
entire force of Spanish regular troops
on the island
General Garretson's camn IS TOM
porarlly near the Second and Third
Wisconsin Regiments on the outskirts
of the town. The brigade marched
seventeen miles from Yauco to Musby.
where they arrived traveI-stained and
mud-bespattered Almost the entire
population saw the troops pass through
the city, and gave them cheer after
cheer, particularly as the artilleryrnen
numbered by.
The officers at the front, including
Colonel Hulings' Pennsylvanians and
Captains Austin. Wheeler. Burns and
Hall, commanding the four advance
companies, do not believe the SpaI:iards
will make an advance They claim
the enemy will act only on the de-
fenSive.
There was some firing last night be-
tween Captain Austin's picl1ets and the
Spaniards in the brush but no damage
was done. All the American troops
are restless, due to false alarms of the
approach of the Spaniards, and they
are so anxious for an encounter with
the enemy. 1t is the general belief
however, that there will be no forward
movement of the main body of or
troops until the other transports ar
rive. They are expected every hour.
The troops on board the St Louis
are reported to be in good health She
brought twelve representatives of the
Porto Rican Junta of New York, whose
business is to influence the people of
the islands not to resist the American
advance. Their good offices are not
necessary.
The Dixie shot at Morro Castle on
Saturday, and caused the utmost con-
sternaton at San Juan, where if was
believed to have been signified that the
place would be bombarded within
twenty-four hours.
