ROUTE.

A TALK WITH MR. T. D. MCKAY,

Few persons have known mate people be. tween here and the Pacific coast, or been more popularly appreciated by all sorts and conci- tions of men, than Mr. T D.McKay, the general passenger agent for the San Francisco Overland Route. It is difficult to start a conversatiog upon any of the great railway or steamship lines connecting Hongkong with New York, by way of the Eastern rule, upon which he does not an orce throw a brilliant searchlight of inform ation and knowledge. In the course of his duties he has travelled the world over, and there are few places he cannot tell something about and few persons of note with whom he has not come in contact. His central office is | at Yosoltama, but he is now living a busy, and

a happy, and a fully occupied life in tongkong, where he has been a frequent visitor during the ten ye us with which he has been in success- fully developing the great enterprises he repre-

-ents.

These are many in number. They include the Pacifc Mail Steamship Company, the Occidental and Uriental Steamship Con- pany, the Toyo Kissa Kaisht (mental S. 8.

quired during his long acquaintance with the direct route from Manila, China and Japan, to the United States a fionolulu, the Parathiar of the Pacific, however, we were fortunate enough to catch him at the right suoment in his offices at Queen's Buildings, and have learned from bun that the St. Lous Exposition is now engaging his altenuch. "The Frisco Uveriand Route," he said, "is the quickest, the shortest, and the most comfortable by which to each the Fair It takes you right into the grounds without a hange. You get of your steamet, board a train standing alongside, and within a few hours are walking along the streets of St. Louis.' He explained that passengers had the choice of wn routes from San Francisco. One is Trá The Southern Pacific, over the Serra Nevada satge, through pine forests, past mountain

lakes, with snow-capped peaks reflected in their blue depths, thence across Nevada in Ugden, On the way the passenger passes a wonderful

teat in modern engineering which has just iseen completed in the Ugden Lucm cut-off," a ton of the great Salt Lake, and in places on bridge running for forty five miles across a el

which land cannot be seen on either site. The other route is the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe road, one of the attractions of the route being the celebrated Grand Canon, a stupendous chasm winch has no parallel in any o her part of the world in tensity, in gor- geousness of colur, ani in superb panorama, Not many months ago Mr. Mckay visited the exposition in the interests of the compares he represents, and has since issued pamphlet after pamphlet dealing with the great exposition from many points of view. These he prepared from his own observations and from meivews with the husy officials at the Fair. The litera tute has been scattered throughout China, Japan, Stan and India, every hotel, business house and public building having secured a "bunch of matter" for the people to take and read. This was to preparation for the greatly increased business which his company anti- cipated, and with which they are now beginning to cope. Every eight days steamer are running out of Hongkong and heavy bookings for many weeks in advance has already commenced. In this connection, Mr. McKay pointed out that the Mongolin, the largest ship ever built and completed by an American shipyard, wili shortly arrive in these waters. She has abeady been delivered to the Pacific Mat Steamship Company and leaves San Francisco, on her
