Minneapolis is becoming a very import
ant point for ocean steamship companies
doing a cabin passenger business. This
city has been: for some time such an ir,-
portant point for steerage business, espe-
cially to-. Scandinavian points, that the
steamship companies have from time to
time established general northwestern Of,
fees here in charge Of the territory from
Minneapolis to the coast. Offices were
established by the Allan, American, Red
Star, White Star and Cunard lines about
five years ago. Three years later the
Beaver line entered the field for steerage
business and within the year came the
Anchor and the Dominion lines.
The statement that Minneapolis has be-
come very important for the securing Of
cabin business is strengthened by the
bookings made by w. B. Chandler to the
West Indies and the Mediterranean for
January and February sailings on the
steamers Moltke, Prinzessin Victoria
Luise and Kaiserin Maria Theresa. =
The. list Of passengers is. by far the
largest and of the best quality that has
been booked from this city.
