RaiIroad opposItion.

Powerful opposition has been exer-
cised against the new steamship line
by the railroad interests. but the pow
ers behind the new concern are about
as strong as the railroads and the pro
ject will therefore, it is stated, be car
ried through to completion.
When this work is established it will
give Wilmington the opening for which
it has been waiting for years. 1t will
give 1t a river front where large ves-
sells can land, discharge their cargoes
and take on new ones without travelling
thirty miles further up the river to

STEAMSHIP LINE
HERE
Large Shippers Will Have
WharVeS and Store HOUSES
Along ChriStiana
ON OTTO COMPANY'S SITE

While the loss of the large plant the
Otto Gas Engine Company intended to
build along the Christiana river in
South Wilmington win leave an Inn
mense tract Of land i'm that section of
the city vacant, improvements are to
be made there. II is now said that the
DUPONT Company viii shortly begin
operations that will result in the erec-
tion OF a big steamship wharf and sew
eral large storehouses on the site.
The. duPonts until recently owned a
large tract Of land on the east side Of
Christiana avenue and north of c
street. This plot is 46S feet 10 inches
by sos feet ~ dimensions. The duPonts
transferred this property to the Will
mington and Bridgeport Transfer Com
pany. a concern IN which the powder
people are practically the sole owners
and which company operates line
from Philadelphia TO New England.
This latter concern In turn transfer
red the ground to the Wilmington and
New York Transfer Company, which
company Is another branch OF the i'm.
mense, dupont syndicate and which was
inaugurated recently
II has been authoritatively stated,
although the DUPONT people would have
nothing to say about the matter that
that company intends to operate a line
of Steamships from this city to New
York and Boston. Rumors to this ef-
feet have been current for some time
and II is understood to be a big innova-
tlon looking TO the establishment OF a
regular trade between this port and the
New York port. The duPonts and
'other large shipping houses, notably
the Blumenthals, ard such firms. have
come to realize that the railroad rates
are excessive and by water shipments
they could save thousands Of dollars a
year This new company is to form
this line and the ground along the
Christiana river is said to be the site
on which they are to locate their docks
and warehouses.
The recent dredging OF the Christiana
river makes the stream navigable to
the largeNt steamers entering the Del
aware river and il is a well-known fact
that shippers owners and all others
connected With the coastwise trade
have long desired port nearer the
mouth of the Delaware river than Phil
adelphia. II such port were estab-
lisi-e here Z is needless to say this
city would get practically all the trade
now being carried past here to the Qua
ker City.

II is the purpose Of the company to
develop two sources OF its business
which have heretofore lacked Develop

and the substitution Of electric power
for steam power. The total amount OF
capital invested In the new lighting
