The old-time rivalry between the Great

vived since the American Line began

advantage Of both passengers and mails
The Great Western, in q record run,

cent Senate resolution requiring the com
mission 20 report the principal changes

ton and also advances in some specific

port, based upon the average rate per

piled 10 the actual tonnage fer the sue
ceeding years. shows an increase IN
gross revenue over 1899 of S456,l 36 for
