els, stated that the only change in
the Australian service growing out
of the combination of the Oceanic
Steamship Co. with the Union

the Zealandis from the Colonial
line in favor of the Monowsl. The
time service viii remain unchang-
ed till the companies receive more
encouragement from the Col
onies and the United States
Government. The placing of the
Zealandia on the Honolulu line,
Mr., Creighton SAYS, is due TO the
increase in traffic between San
Francisco and the Islands. 1t will
give practically weekly service
between this port and Honolulu
and the Oceanic Company believes

velopmeut Of tourist travel as il
will enable travellers 10 make
quick trip to the Islands and not
compel them to make such long
stops there.
