Ennipcer Maintenance OF \
NEW LINE.

1t is reported that new connection
is to be made between the eastern
shore Of Maryland and Washington
by means of steamer line from Ok
ford and Cambridge, connecting with
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Annap-
oils Railway at Annapolis. The steam
er line is to be fed by small gasoline
power boats that will ply to landings
in the Miles river, Harris creek, Tied
Avon river, Choptank river and Broad
creek, gathering products of those tri-
butarics OF the Chesapeake bay to be
transferred to the larger boats at Ok
ford and Cambridge for transportation
to Annapolis and thence by rail to
Washington and Baltimore. This plan
is proposed by the Chesapeake Bay
Navigation Company: Heretofore
Washington has been getting but little
freight from the Oxford and Cambridge
portion OF the eastern shore, the bulk
OF it going to Philadelphia by rail and
smaller quantity to Baltimore by
the steamers OF the 3. c. d A. railroad
line.

Alfonso,s Visit to England.

London, Aug. 3.-Members OF the
British foreign office practically ad
mitted today that King Alfonso's trip
to England at this time is not pleasure
trip, as announced, but is for the pur-
pose OF seeking advice regarding the
desperate political situation that has
arisen in Spain as the result OF the
rupture between the government and
the vatican.
King George owes visit to Alfonso,
and it is highly improbable that the
Spanish ruler would break his ironclaa
royal etiquette and visit a forei en- ruler
"out OF turn" unless the situation were
urgent. 1t is considered highly improb-
able that even were Alfonso's trip to
England in order from the standpoint
Of etiquette he would leave during
such a crisit as now confronts him.
Queen Victoria, it is said, is accom-
panying Alfonso in order to help out
the appearance that the trip is for
