New Line From the Northwest to
China and Japan.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The announce
ment that the Northern Pacific has sue
ceeded in establishing line of steamers
between Tacoma and China and Japan is
confirmed here. An arrangement has
been completed with an English syndi-
cate company by which the new com
pany, called the Northern Pacific Steam
ship Company, has been formed. The
President is Sir William Pearce of Lon
don, who organized the Canadian Pacific
Steamship Company. There are to be
three ships under the British flag. The
voyage will be made monthly in each di-
rection, and within year it is hoped TO
have semi-mOnthly service. The first
steamer of the company left Hongkong
May 2lst. The line is opened in time to
carry part of the tea crop, of which the
Northern Pacific has hitherto transported
about . per cent. The Northern Pacific
as company will not have any pecuni-
ary interest in the steamers, the steam
ship line taking the ocean earnings and
the Northern Pacific the overland earn
ings on the traffic interchanged The
steamship line will deliver exclusively to
the Northern Pacific, but will compete
for the exports of the Pacific Coast at all
points.
THE PACIFIC MAIL.
NEW YORK, May 25.-The annual meet

gross earnings for the fiscal year were
81, 400, ,262; the operating expenses
S3, ,6SS, ,055, and the net earnings S12l. .2O7.
President George Gould, in his report,
says the gross earnings have increased,
but the earnings have decreased slightly,
owing TO the fact that the company has
been compelled to spend large amount
to put the fleet in condition to meet the
increased requirements for speed and
passengers, to qualify under the subsidy
law for carrying the mails Vice-Presi
dent Houston said the earnings, exclud-
ing the amount expended to comply with
the subsidy law, were equal to Al per

The Democratic Campaign
at Lexington Opened
By the Eloquent
Congressman.
Straight Democracy Preached by an
Able Disciple.

LEXINGTON, KY, Aug. 31.-The OPP
era-house was crowded last night to
hear Col. w. G. P. Breckenridge open
the Democratic campaign in this dis
trict. His first duty, he said, was to
thank the Democratic party, through
its recognize authority, for renomi-
nation to Congress without opposition.
After paying compliment to the can.
didates for the local Offices, he drifted
into the discussion of national politics.
"When He spake as no man ever
spake before, and said :"Do unto 9th
ers as ye would that others do unto
you," he spoke the primary postulate
of our Democratic doctrine" Upon
this the speaker enlarged, holding it to
be key to all of the turbulent problems
with which society is now brought
face to face. "The doctrine of equality,
localized" he said, "is but another YER
sion OF the same simple principle.
This is the answer to Force bill, this is
simple home rule, because it forbids
outside interference with the manage.
ment of our affairs"
This thought the speaker elaborated
upon and applied to the Federal Gov
ernment, which SHOULD not interfere
with your election representatives and
with your ballet box, and by interfer-
ing with your vote give the lie to your
certificates. The country has had an
experience of that sort of thing before,
during the years of reconstruction
when soldiers surrounded the polling
place and dominated Legislatures, aud
certificates OF election had to be signed
bv Generals. That there should be
men willing to return to the days OF
reconstruction is because at the end
of it all Is personal interest, a scheme
to use the ballot box for personal
again and control legislation for per
sonal aggrandizement This is the
, danger OF The hour. These people

= He then touched on the tariff, tht
strikes and the evils that grow fror
the tariff system. He paid a high CON
u pliment to Mr.. Cleveland, and said h
e hoped and believed that he would b
s. elected for a second time President 0

ceived perfect ovation. and it can
stated that he is more deeply intrenc
ed in the heart of his fellow-citize
than ever before.
