FAST STEAMSHIP LINE
Soon to Be Started Between Canadian
and English Ports.

New York. Oct 22.-Sir Christopher
F'urness, one of Britain's foremost
steamship owners and head of the firm
of Furness, Witty & Co., is at present
in Canada, his intention being to close
arrangement if possible by which
the long projected fast line between
Great Britain and a Canadian port may
become a fact, says the Montreal CORE
spondent of the Tribune.
In an interview in Montreal Sir
Christopher stated that he and his bust
ness associates had the funds at hand
to proceed with the project; that the
sum required would be in the neighbour
hood of $500, 900 pounds, but that before
he would be willing to go ahead radical
changes must be made with regard to
the safety of the route.
While in Montreal Sir Christopher
F'urneSS was in conference with Lord
Strathcona- A fast line between Can
ada and British ports has engrOSSed the
attention of Strathcona and he has re-
marked upon more than one occasion
that sooner or later he was bound TO
see the scheme become a fact Sir
Christopher says that Lloyds must
greatly enlarge it's Canadian connection
and that radical changes must be made
in the lights, signals and pilotage sys-
tenn on the entire route. He declined to
say what Canadian ports he had in view
for the Canadian ternini of the line. He
did say, however, that the bringing of
such ships it was proposed to build
to Montreal was out of the question
Thus the matter is believed to rest be-
tween Quebec, as a summer port, on the
one hand, and Sydney, ST. John, or
Halifax, as winter or all the year
round ports, on the other.
On his return to England Sir Chris
topher will report his observations to
his business associates and it is ex-
pected they will proceed with the work
of organization. Having completed his
business in Montreal, the English ship
owner left the city for Sault Ste Marie,
where he will become the guest of F.
H. Clergue, who is building up western
Ontario

HAS DONE ITS BEST.
German Correspondent Praises Work
of British Army.

New York, Oct. PA letter from it's
johannesburg correspondent, published
by the Cologne Gazette is quoted by the
Berlin correspondent of the London
Times and the New York Times. The
letter highly praises the British troops
in South Africa The writer says:
-'Of one thing every prejudiced obser-
yer here is convinced. However severe
may be the criticisms to which the Brit
ish army is exposed in England. every
impartial observer here knows that, in
the circumstances, it has achieved all
that could have been achieved. 1t is
doubtful if any other army could have
done moro.
From a financial point of view any
other nation would have succumbed to
the strain of this war;
The Cologne Gazette's correspondent
also commends the johannesburg po-
lice, saying that they are equal in DO
likeness to the police of London and ad-
ding:

PHILIPPINE TRADE.
American Inv asicn Not Very Extern
sive So Far.

New York, Oct. 22.[The Manila cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce
sends the following details concerning
the trade in the Philippines:
The invasion of the markets of the
Philippines by American merchandise
and merchants is much less complete as
yet than the invasion of the islands by
American political ideas, but there are
indications that American goods will
come here In increasing quantities with
in a short time Judging from the ex-
terror of the shops American establish
ments are comparatively few, but judged
from the interior the footing obtained by
American goods is more obvious.
One of the difficulties with which
Americans have to contend in this
market is the fact that the established
channels of trade are with Spain, France,
Germany and Switzerland. rather than
with America. The great jewelry shops,
the dry goods stores, the importers of
boots, shoes, hats and all sorts of nee
essaries of civilized life have done bust
ness for many years with European ex-
porterS and are familiar with their goods,
systems of credits, methods of packing
and freight facilities. In textiles the
Europeans naturally enjoy some of the
same advantages which skill and long
practice give them in the United States.
The representatives of the Spanish
chamber of commerce appreciate the
fact, however, that a new era is begin
ming in Philippine trade Retail trade
in many lines here has been based upon
the principle of charging what the traf-
fic will BEAR. rather than upon the
maximum prices enforced by COMPETE
ton. Merchants have been content with
large profits upon small sales rather
than small profits upon large sales Con-
siderable work is being done by Civil
Governor Taft and the Philippine COM
mission in organizing civil government
and preparing to extend American
methods of cultivation and American
methods of transportation throughout
the islands, 1t was only with the ter
mination of the military control on July
4, that this work could be begun in
earnest Government has to be created
from the ground up, with little to build
upon that is worth anything from the
remnants of Spanish authority. Already
land is being prOSpected for gold and
number of gentlemen have united in a
firm for active preparation. Nothing
has been done towards an electric rail-
way line, because peace has been so re-
Gently restored and no new corporation
can be formed. Such a line is much
needed and Americans may endeavor to
buy up the franchise of the existing
horse railroad with its average of about
one trip an hour, as soon as the Situa-
ton clears. There is little doubt that
an electric street railway would do an
enormous business, in view of the de-
mand for transportation in Manila The
hundreds of native cabmen, with their
odd little carriamotos and diminutive
ponies, might suffer from every compe-
tition, but would find continued occupa-
ton on the outlying routes and per-
haps in managing the new cars, as the
natives do in Honolulu.

CAN'T FIND BANDITS.
All Efforts to Discover Miss Stones
Hiding Place Fail

New York, Oct 22-From Samakov
correspondents. the Journal and Adver
tiser has obtained the following details
concerning the pursuit of the kidnapers
of Miss Stone, the American missionary:
Your correspondent has just returned
to SamakOv after a fornight'S vain en-
deavor to get into communication with
the brigands. At Diummeyer the Kali
man. or local governor. refused to give
a written statement, but told your cor
respondent of the track taken by the
hrigands into Bulgarian territory. The
brigandS are still wandering around that
region near Gultepe and the two gov
ernmentS with gendarmerie, soldiers and
secret agents are trying to find them.
The four brigands who have been ar
rested stoutly maintain that they are
not connected with the band that cap
tured Miss Stone. They have been sum-
moned to appear at Dubnitza and be ex-
amined by Turkish special commits
siOn- This may be a Turkish effort to
make ProteStantS appear as accompliceS
in the Stone capture. Owing to the Sc
we're frost prevailing in the mountains
all efforts to send parcels of clothes and
other necessarieS to Miss Stone, who
must be suffering from the cold, have
been baffied.
All attempts to communicate with the
brigands have been unsuccessful. The
bandits are apparently afraid of treach-
cry. and determined not to disclose their
hiding place.
