New Steamship
Line for Portland.

Portland. Me, July 19.-The Express
saws; Plans are being quietly carried
ON to establish a new steamship line to
Portland, and one of the prime NOV
ers in the affair is the former steam
ship king, Charles w. Morse. of Bath
and New York City Whether it is a
coastwise or a transatlantic line is
not stated. The Grand Trunk Railroad
is interested in the venture. mir. Morse

under way were brought to a happy

Several years ago Mr.. Morse was CON
coded to be the best posted man in the
country on steamship matters and the
great combinations brought about
through his endeavors to a great extent
bore out such conclusions. 1t is believed
by some that the plan is to organize a
line from Maine to the principal South
ern points on the Atlantic seaboard.. The
n. Y, n. II. & II. Railroad is not at all
friendly to Mr.. Morse, and the Grand
Trunk has. and will contend for as much
of the business of the New Haven as
possible, as shown by the building OF
lines to Boston and bidding for freight
on nts subsidiary lines.
The unfriendliness to Mr.. Morse on the
part of the New Haven lines is said to
be due to certain steamship lines estab-
lished to compete for that railroads bus
mess out of Boston and New York
With a second line of steamers coming
from New York. Boston and other ports,
the business in shipping circles would be
greatly increased.
1t is said that within a few weeks one
of the wharves in Portland changed
hands and that may have been the first
move in securing a terminal for the pro-
posed line.
