NEW PACIFIC LINE.
Another Oriental Company After
American Connections.


SEATTLE, Wash, July 24-Follow-
ing close In the wake Of the Nippon
Yusen Kaisha which announced Seat
tie as its American terminus only
feW days ago, comes the accredited re-
port to this city of another Oriental
steamship line, the Toyo Kabushik
ka1sha, which is also seeking Ameri-
can connections The party consists
OF Socy Asino, president of the
company. Hokawa, director in the
OJl paper company, near Toxic; Aun-
giro Tomlka, captain in the service Of
the steamship company, and Hiroyuki
kobayashi, interpreter for Mr. Asino.
The visitors, who represent great
wealth, came to the city quitely, spent
the day In making an investigation
and left for Tacoma Thence they go
TO Portland for a day, thence to San
francisco. From the latter point Asino
VIII proceed to London and place con-
tracts for the construction of twelve
5,000ton vessels, to be used on the
line which will run from the American
terminus to Toxic and Hong Kong.
The result Of the days Investigations,
while nothing definite has been an
nounced, led to a belief that the ter
minus will be either Seattle or Port
land. 1t is though Asino had negotiated
both with the Dodwell people, operating
the Northern Pacific steamers out Of
Tacoma, and also with the SamueIs
people, who run the Portland Oriental
line. 1t was very clear today that if
Asino could secure control of the North
ern Pacific Steamship company, on his
visit to London, and thereby get rates
as favorably as those granted to the
Nippon Yusen Kaisha by the Great
Northern, he would choose Seattle for
the terminus. His examination of the
harbor location Of the city and natural
advantages of this place was
satisfactory, If the Portland peo-
pie can make better showing the
prize will undoubtedly fall to them
Mr.. Asino was shown about Seattle by
E. III. Ammidown, president of the
Seattle Power company. His present
visit is only preliminary, and an agent
of the new steamship company will
be sent here a few months hence to
perfect the arrangements now begun.
