Apropos of this subject, the Buffalo
Commercial says
''Ihe big steamship Gratwick left Chi
cago, Monday, with 105, 600 bushels of grain.
At Milwaukee she took off 900 tons of
the package freight lying there and the
complete cargo (on IS feet of water) went
to Depot Harbour, Lake Huron, in Can
ada, from which port it goes by rail to
various points in Canada and New Eng
land.
The "in'' cargo Of the Gratwick this
last time to Chicago loaded her down to
the 18 foot mark. 1t was a rich cargo Of
general merchandise, the wholesale value
being about 5000, 600, and the master re-
ported that he was compelled to leave
16S cars OF freight behind him at Depot
Harbour for the simple reason that his
ship could not carry it. The accumula-
tion of freight at Milwaukee, bound for
Canada and New England, is so great,
the captain said, that the agents there
have refused to receive any more. Mon

LIVELY TIMES COMING.
A Talk with Manager Hays of tn
Grand Trunk.

General Manager Charles M. Hays of
the Grand Trunk Railway arrived in this
city, Saturday, from the sWest where he
has been in attendance upon railroad
meeting. He went directly to his cot
tage on Cushings's island to join his
family who arrived several days ago.
II am here this time for only a short
visit as 1 shall again return to Montreal
on Monday, he said to a reporter of the
PRESS at the Ottawa, house, Saturday
afternoon.
"What as to the outlook for business
on The Grand Trunk during the coming
winter season. the reporter asked.
ut is very good, " replied Manager
Hays. Everything now looks very IA
vorable and I think that the people of
Portland will see about the busiest times,
as far as the Grand Trunk is concerned,
that they have ever known. We shall
certainly have more steamers come to this
port next winter. Last winter believe
that the exact number of boats in the
ocean traffic coming to Portland was
ninety-six and at that we were short on
account of the fact that the English gov
eminent took some Of our steamers to use
as transports in the service of the South
African war. When the season was about
to begin we had counted on one hundred
and four steamers. This winter we shall
have that number and more, so that it
can be seen that all Of the several lines
that touch at this port will be kept very
busy from the .time that the season be-
gins until it concludes. have been on
an extended trip through the West and
the Northwest and many of the reports
from that section are that the crops of
this fall will show quite a shortage. But
Notwithstanding these reports our bust
ness has certainly, up to the present
time, not been at all affected. Nor do 1
think that it will be affected during the
coming winter season"
SIS there likelihood that the Grand
Trunk will build new station in this
city9'
81 am unable to say as to that just yet
We have for long time been in hopes
that new station would take the place
Of the old one and [ think that some
thing will be done in that line before
long,
General Manager Hays says that he
has been extremely busy for several
months. In talking with a party of per-
sonal friends at the Ottawa he expressed
his great pleasure in again being able to
come to Cushing's island, if even for a
brief respite from business. He was
warmly greeted by many old friends at
the hotel. For many years it has been
his custom to spend a few days during
the summer in and about Portland.
''This is most beautiful harbor, - he
said in talking with his friends. st am
always delighted 80 be able to come here
and my family take great pleasure in be-
ing here.
In the afternoon the leading official of
the Grand Trunk with Mrs. Hays and
daughters enjoyed a sail of several hours

THE CARRYING TRADE.
Canadian Channels Are DIvertlng il
Towards New England.

The manner in which Canada is cut
ting into the carrying trade of the United
States is being remarked upon further
west. The president of the Pennsylvania
Railway Company says: "'The old Amer
lean routes must be protected from the
disastrous diversion to the Canadian
route" The Pennsylvania Railway Com
pany owns the Anchor line OF lake steam
ers, and since the Canada Atlantic Rail-
way extended it's tracks to Depot Harbour
and inaugura5ed it's line of steamers on
the upper lakes it appears that the An
Choir line boats are carrying hardly any
Of the grain at all. Formerly they used
to carry immense quantities from Chica-
go to Erie and Fairport, from which ports
1t was forwarded to the seaboard through
the United States. This trade is now
largely being done by the Canada ATTAIN
tic Railway, Which takes the cargoes
from Chicago by their four fine steamers,
the Gratwick, Geo. N. Orr, Arthur Orr
and Kearsarge, and transfers them to their
rail route of Depot Harbour, from where
they are sent east through Canadian ter
ribory.

Critics now say that the South African
war is far from over. Lord Roberts is
beyond the Vaal with an immense army
which he must feed by means of long,
single-traclzed railroad, crossing steep
mountains with very heavy grades in
places. He has captured places; but he
has not captured or destroyed armies
The guerilla war with which he is now
contending is the most difficult of all
opposition. 1t was by such war that the
great Napoleon was driven out of Spain

The report that the President may call
Congress together for the purpose of au-
thorizing an increase of the army in or
der to furnish troops for war with
China, does not seem probable. In the
first place we already have over sixty
thousand men engaged in an Oriental
war at a cost of a hundred millions OF
dollars yearly. There is no immediate
prospect that either the number Of troops
or the annual expenses in the Philip
pines can be reduced. 70 participate in
a general war for the pacihcation Of
China would probably require from this
country another sixty thousand men
and another expenditure of hundred
millions of dollars annu ally Before
embarking in this enterprise there should
be manifest some very sound and very
urgent reason There seems to be no
doubt that the foreigners in the disaffect-
ed parts Of the Empire are beyond the
help of any great Occidental army. II

are not likely to be. Foreigners in other

There seems to be no valid reason why
Judge Hopkins should not be re-nom1-
mated in the Deering wards. He served
in the legislature two years ago with
distinction, and II nominated and elect
ell this year will have far more influence
than a new man could have. One term
in the legislature is necessary for a man
to become acquainted with men and
affairs enough to be of real use. Judge
Hopkins has that acquaintance, and it
seems to us that 1t will be unwise for his
constituents not to utilize his training.
The rather surprising news comes from
New Hampshire that Senator William e.
Chandler wi not only be a candidate
for reelection this winter, but also that
he has composed his feud with his col
league, Senator Gallinger. 1t has gen
orally been assumed that Mr.. Chandler,
who has served fourteen years in the
Senate, stood no chance OF reelection.
and the political gossips in New Hamp-
shire have been busy for several months
naming his successor. Mr.. Chandler is
a strenuous fighter, and in the course of
his career has hit almost every prorni-
nent head in New Ham pshire. But per-
haps his colleagues think the State will
be more peaceful if he is kept in Wash
ington, where he is certainly able and
eminent and where he would be missed.
