NOTES OF SH1FPlE

There was published Il day or two
ago an outline Of plans Which James j.
HILL president Of the Great Northern
Railway Company. and his associates
were said to be perfecting for the in
stallation Of traffic line to extend all
the way from Great Britain TO Japan
and China by way of the United States.
1t is said that a fleet Of steamers to
ply between London and New Yoril
was being built in England by the
Great Northern Railway Company;
that the traffic reaching this port by
that line would be carried TO Chicago
over the Baltimore and Ohio, which
road, the Fill interests would acquire.
ana would be conveyed by the Wiscon-
sin Central from Chicago to ST. Paul,
and by the Great Northern from St.
Paul TO Sea ute, from which port il
would be Forwarded to the Orient by
steamers of the Japan Royal Mail Line.
1t is TOW learned from authentic
sources. however. that Mr.. Hills pres
ent plans contemplate only the CON
structon of several steamers for the
Pacific. there now being Il scarcity OF
