prs to establish q line of American steamers
between this country and Europe. Ton know

rumored that tho Fulton md Afnro will be

establishment Of American lines ID the grant
Ing Of liberal subsidies by Congress. Without
these We cannot compete successfully with
the foreign lines. Yesterday the telegraph
mentioned the aHard of tho contract for q
monthly Inc from San francisco to Hong
hong to the Pacific Mail Company, It Is not
generally known that this company has snffi-
clent vessels for the service either building or
already launched, 1t has now IN this port the :
Atlantic, Baltic, Montana and Henry Chaun.

zona md Ell Dorado IN process Of eonstruc-
tion. It IL probable that the new line will 20

and Baltic are Of the old Collins line, but
the other steamers are entirely new.
