A Representative o. thoAntiiiexTrnns

ranEemenfn TO EsiabIish an Office
Hcre-What Norfolk wouid Gain.

A representative OF the Antilles
Transportation Company. of New York
is in Norfolk perfecting ARRANGEMENTS
for the establishment of an agency OF
his line in this city. This company is
now running regular line OF steamers
from New York to Cuba. Porto Rico
and the Bermudas, and has recently
leased the large piers of Mr.. ]. G. Chris
TOPPER. in Jacksonville. Fla, and the
Whaley pier. in Savannah. with view
to greatly enlarge its facilities and
operations.
1t is hoped and believed that the An
TILES Transportation Company will cx-
pcr!cncc little or no trouble in our city
In procuring n place adapted TO the
trhnaaction OF such business as it de-
Eires. We have great amount of water
front. and our people are sufficiently
liberal and progressive to extend n
helping hand 10 all who come with the
intention of engaging In business here.
It Ii conceded by those with whom
the representative Of the Virginian-
Pilot has talked on the subject that
incrcahcd business connection with Gu
ba, Porto Rico and Bermudas is most
dcsIrablc. Hence the establishment of
an agency here Of the Antilles Trans
portation Company means another long
stride In the march OF progress.
For the steamers to touch here
would mean that we would have direct
communication with these Islands, here
tofore comparatively unknown to this
port. and that eoodly share OF The
| finest of fruits and tobaccos, together
! with sugar. log wood and ebony.
would come straight to our doors II
would also mean that we could dispose
OF vast amount OF the coal and lum-
Der which is mined and produced In
our adjacent territory and brought here
| for market.
We are informed that a vessel OF tho
Antilles line would have already reach
| ed here had 1t not been for the fact
that the company's steamer Kanawha
was lost about thirty days ago with n

perfected to put n vessel in her place,
and within thirty days the company ex-
pect to have regular weekly service
