A Line Established Between Tacoma.
China and Japan.
New YORK, May 25.-The announcement
that the Northern Pacific had succeeded in
line of steamers between Ia
COMA. China and Japan, is confirmed here.
An arrangement has been completed with
an English syndicate by which a company
called the Northern Pacific Steamship COM
pany has been formed. The president IS Sir
VIM. Pearce, of London. who organized
the Canadian Pacific Steamship company.
There will be three ships, under the Brit
ish flag. Voyages will be made monthly
each direction, and within year it is
hoped to have a semi-monthly service. The
fret steamer of the new com pany left Hong
Kong May q. The line will be opened in
time to carry part Of the tea crop, of which
the Northern Pacific hitherto has trans
ported about % per cent. The Northern
Pacific, as company. will not have any
pecuniary interest in the steamers, the
steamship line taking the ocean earnings,
and Northern Pacific overland earning on
traffic will be interchanged. The steam
ship line will deliver exclusively to the
Northern Pacific, but will compete for ex-
ports from the Pacific coast at all points.

Responsible for the Impertinence.


WASHINGTON, May 25.--Civii Service Com
missioner Roosevelt this morning submit
ted to the house civil service committee n
copy Of the letter he sent to Postmas
General Wanamaker on the 10th inst. In
the letter Roosevelt says that aa Wana-
maker turned over to the committee the re-
port Of the postofiice inspectors in the Bal
timors Office. in which they charge Rooss-
velt with unfairness and partiality in the
investigation Of that Office. without COM
ment. he (Roosevelt) must assume that
Wanamaker assumed responsibility for the
impertinenco of his snbordinates. Roose-
volt said he had received no answer to this
letter and was, therefore. reluctantly COM
PEELED to assume that the postmaster gen.
eral made these stateme ents his own. The
postmaster gene al had said it was not for
him to consider whether tho inspec tora' re-
port contained nything that could be con-
strued as disrespectfnl or hostile to the
civil service commission.

Pacific Mail Stockholders.

New YORK, May 25.-The annual meeting
of the Pacific Mail stockholders resulted
in the reelection of the old board of dirsc-
tors. The report showed: Gross earnings
for the fiscal year. 81, 400, 262; operating ex-
penses $3.6SS, ,055, net earnings, $72L20
President George Gould in his report. says
the gross earnings increased, but the net
earnings decreased slightly, owing to the
fact that the company was compelled to
spend a large amount to put the feet in
condition to meet the increased require
ments for speed and passengers to qualify
under the subsidy law for carrying mails.
Vice President Houston said the earnings,
excluding the amount expended to comply
with the subsidy law, was equal to ~ per

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The democrats of

to put the appropriation bills ahead of ev-
erything else and prepare for the adjonrn-

Hatch. in the interest of the snti-option
bill, fought a motion to give appropriation
bills precedence, but was outvotsd. He has
not given up the fight, however. and it ID
likely will oppose appropriation bills on
the floor of the house.

The Fire Department.

The Union makes a poor apology for
its attack of Sunday morning on the paid
fire department, by saying it intended no
slur on our present excellent depart
ment." The Unions record in relation
to the paid department and other pro-
eressive institutions is too well known
for anyone to take any stock in any Hat
tery it may now restow. The public is
too well aware of how far we would have
advanced in the direction of the present
system had the Unions course been
adopted. Its assertion that THE ARGUS
is aiming at company for every tier OF
blocks in the city. it knows to be fa's Sc,
and absolutely so. THE ARGUS position
has always been that the less the number
of men in the department the better. SO
long as all are we'll drilled but 1t believes
in giving cur people all the protection that
is needed. The city has extended until the
east and west limits are 30 far apart that
they cannot be reached from the center
in as quick time as if they had company
in their respective communities, and this
they are entitled to. The larger the city
the more companies Of course. and COM
mon sense should teach the Union this.
and turn it from the folly OF its past
record But it don't apparently.
The Union is a calf when it comes to
public improvements.
