BENEFIT To ISLAND POND TOO.
The Dominion steamship company
has made arrangements with the Grand
Trunk railway company for the estab
lishment of a weekly line of steamships
from Portland, Me, to Liverpool, dur
ing the coming season of navigation
The steamers that are to be thus trans
ferred are five in number, the Dominion
of 1900 tons. the Vancouver of 1000
tons, and the Cambroman, Roman and
Ottoman of 5000 tons each.
Portland will thus be the Grand
Trunk port all the year, aud the compa-
ny's western traffic, which has heretofore
been shipped from Montreal, will in
future be shipped at Portland.
This means that the Grand Trunk,
with a new elevator and dock at Port
land, will challenge New York and Bos-
ton as Atlantic ports.
The Grand Trunk managers state
that they have been compelled to make
this arrangement to provide for their
traffic, which is expanding month by
month. The terminal facilities in
Montreal are altogether inadequate 10
meet this expansion, and the only alter-
native was to get a line of steamers to
handle the traffic at Portland.
The new line of steamships will, it is
understood, carry passengers as well as
freight. The Dominion Company will

Rivalry Among Congressman For u

The effort that is constantly being

on the front page of The Congressional
Record is not generally understood.
Senators and representatives naturally
desire TO have their deliverances in
congress receive as much attention as
possible, and there is but one publica-
ton in which they can monopolize the
front page in display Of their
speeches. That one publication Is The
Record.
OF course speeches that are printed
in regular order in the debate, ap-
pearing on the day after they are de-
lvered, are 10 be found only in their
regular place in The Record. But in
the cases of speeches withheld for re.
vision there is an opportunity to have
them displayed on the first page of the
official report of the proceedings. This
Is merely done by an arrangement be.
tween the senate and house by which
this privilege is about equally divided.
Senators and representatives who
withhold their remarks for revision
frequently inquire when they can have
the first page of The Record, which is
generally reserved for at least a week
ahead.
The general rule is. First come, first
