Show Hearing- From tlie Canadian Pacific. Pa-cific. - New Yobk, February 4. Fx-Govemor Perkins was recently in Montreal, where he had an interview with Sir George Stephen, President of the Canadian Pacific He was informed of the intention of the Government Govern-ment to subsidize a direct line of steamers in connection with the railway, between Vancouver and China. He thinks the new line of steamers will divert a large portion of the tea shipment, which now goes East by way of San Francisco and Chicago, to the Canadian Pacific. Stephen informed Governor Gov-ernor Perkins that the rates on tea would be so low that shippers would prefer the Canadian Pacific to any other transcontinental transconti-nental line. |
