The British Government has asked for
bids for fortnightly service between Vic
toria. B. c., and Hong Kong, via Yoko-
hama, the service to be performed by
steamers of not less than three thousand
tons. This Of course, Is the result Of the
competition of the Canadian Pacific line.
England has now direct way to China,
the East and Australia, through her own
territories. She will now be Independent
of the Suez Canal. should she, in the first
rush Of a war. lose control of that water
way.
The establishment Of this line means
the withdrawal Of considerable trade from
San Francisco, as Is pertlnently pointed
ont by San Francisco contemporary.
England already controls seven-tenths
Of the Chinese and Japanese trades. She
owns Hong Kong and all the facilities at
that place for doing business. Her mer-
chants have branch houses at every port.
Her systems Of credit are known, under
stood and appreciated at the East. Ii
with these and other advantages. not nee
essary TO enumerate, she does not send by
way of the Pacific as much trade as she
chooses, IT will be strange indeed She will
make bold effort to monopolize the tea
trade She will cndeavor to capture that
part Of 1t which now passes through the
United States. She will make some place
on the Canadian Pacific distribution
point, whence she will endeavor to supply
all our large cities"

Islands will not be affected, but we may
