A NEW ANGLO-AMERICAN ROUTE. Another plan is on foot for ehortenlsg the ocean passage between Europe and America, and this time the promised decrease is eo 1 bs than two days, Instead of a few hourp. The idea Is nothing less than the founding of a new city in Nova Sootia, at the bo-them end of the tut or s'rait of Canso, which divides the island of Caps Breton from the mainland. It has often been urged that the port of North Americ* for Furopean purposes should be In Nova Scotia, which stretches so far aoross the Atlantic towards the Old World, and it Is said that the late Sir Hugh Allan actually named the site which has jabt been ohosen as the place to which he hoped to see his line of steamers running. A company haß ben formed, consisting largely of Canadians rtsldcnt in Boston —though tbe vice-president (the Hon. A. W. Ogilvie) is a Montrealcr and a senator of the Dominion—and this company is determined to carry out the idea. They have acquired a strip along the shore of about six miles in length by three miles in width, and are now at work building a railway to connect the new city with the termini of tho Intercolonial and Canadian Pacific Railways at Port Mulgrave, which is only six mi'es away. The Canadian and Nova S jotlan Governments have eaoh granted a subtidy of 32,000d0l per mile for the railway, and the latter Government have also granted eight square miles of coal land in Cape Breton, just across the strait. Both tho United States and Canadian Governments have promised that if a four d»ys' passage can actually be given, the mail contracts and accompanying subsidies will bs given to this route,
