The Northern Pacific, as you probably
know. has entered into direct rivalry with
the Canadian Nettie for the Chinese and
Japanese trade. It has adopted ,he policy of
our great road and boasts of having 0011tro1
of a direct line (tem Now York to China,
under its sole control and management.
I believe it is at the bottom of the movement
against Canadian railways so persistently
urged at Washington, It certainly has a
big advantage in competition for the trade
between (:1100, japan and the United States,
on account of being an American oolnpauv.
Mr, Dotleworth's transfer of services from
the Canadian Pacific to its great incl only
rival may possibly 113117080010 otl'eoo in giving
the Northern Pacific an advantage in obtain•
ing freight for its steamers. This may
possibly account for the rumored transfer
of the Canadian Pacific Railway's Pacific
0teem0hips to the Atlantic, where they could
supply the much needed lase service, other
vessels Ineantim0 taking their p11400 on the
route between Vancanver and China. Tho
rivalry of the Northern Pacific has made
the establishment of a lino of fast (Canadian
steamships on the Atlantic %necessity Lo the
Canadian P0eflic Railway Company, and
they are people not likely to be naught nap-
ping."
Then the Northern Pacific contempin les
paralleling the Canadian Pacific Railway,
as a rival route from Europe across America
to Ertetern Asia 1"
" Precisely. If they have, as they say,
al open road from New York to 7'a0000,
14(11 from thonoo to Hong tSong, by a line of
steamships, they can easily make arrange -
menu/ with it company running Atlantic
steamships from Now York to Liverpool,
and thus complete their parallel route.
Sti11, however, tlleCanadian 1'ae111c Railway
will have a great advantage in the shunter
distance across this 0otllneut and across
the Atlantic. The trade between China,
Japan and the United States is large and
growing, but itis not so large as th14t be•
twee( England and those countries. Of
the latter trade the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way w111 always get the preference on 140-
00,1410 of the unity of its management. It,
therefore, seems to 111e that the Canadian
Pacific Railway must of necessity have a
fast lino of steamships on the Atlantic,
But the cut of the Northern Pecifio awning
in, it is quite in order that, as Nis. Van
Horne said, the Grand Trunk 811011ld join
with the Canadian Peelfid Railway in estab-
lishing such a service. If the Northern
plays the gain° of pushing the Canadian
Pacific Railway out of the United States
trade, it will only have the effect Of making
the Canadian Pacific Railway more anxious
to control the through traffic from Europe
to the East. In 0nc11 a contest the Caned.
ion Pacific Railway would haven't immense
advantage, for there can be no doubt of its
having, with first-class Atlantic steamships,
Gm shortest, gniokest, most direct and boat
