New Railway Project.

A new .trans-continental railway project
is now being actively promoted in Canada
The new scheme is being developed hy
Messrs Mackenzie and Mann, the we'll
known railway magnates OF the dominion
whereby they propose to capitalize a
company to connect all their railroads
with the object of having second route
across Canada to the Pacific coast Both
Mackenzie and Mann have been in Eng
land for some time and they have been
there for a purpose. These two men own
many small railroads in Canada, whlch
stretch across the continent like separate
links In a chain that might easily be con-
nected II is said that they have at pres
ent a wel-matured plan to capitalize a
company in Great Britain and by connect
ing these small railways, to form another
Canadian trans continental route. IL IS
also stated upon good authority that the
object which Sir Charles Upper had IN
view when he suddenly left Canada few
days ago and before the propagation or
parliament was in connection with this
new scheme As Sir Charles is known to
have a feeling Of paterial solicitude for
the welfare of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, it is said that his mission to England
at this time is to oppose the capitalization
of the new company. being assured that
Canada cannot support two great inter-
oceanic RAILWAYS.

TACOMA, July 1s-The day in the Unit
ed States court was taken up in the
trial Of the case Of William Hays against
the street railway company for $1,000
damages for running into his wagon ana
injurlng him last November on the G
street track. After the plaintiffs evil
dence was all In, the company moved for
a nonsuit on the ground that the plaintiff
was negligent In not looking before he
attempted 10 drive across the track. and
that therefore he could not recover.
Counsel for plaintiff maintained that the
rule in regard to railways did not apply
70 street cars, but that they had only
the same rights on the streets as other
vehicles. and had no exclusive right such
as railroad trains have on their own
rights of-way. Judge Gilbert took the
matter under advisement until tomorrow
