TRANSPORT SERVICE.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The Navy
Department yesterday took the initial
steps for the prosecution of its plans
for the formation of a naval transport
service. 1t promulgated a schedule for
the sailing of the two vessels now
available for this service by which the
SoIace is to sail from New York for
Manila in January and July, and the
Buffalo is to run from San Francisco
to the same port in April and October.
The schedule will give three months
service TO begin with, allowing the YES
sells ample time to refit between trips.
They will carry stores for the forces IN
the Philippines, and Admiral Dewey
will not only erect a storehouse for the
goods, but will have the Celtic and
Culgoa as refrigerator ships to use foI
storage of fresh provisions.

RUSH NOT LIKED HULL is AFLOAT
Launching of Largest

7,OOO-Unparalle Steam
ing Radius.

BELFAST, Jan. 1.-THE White Star
ever built, was successfully launched
at Harland & VOLTS yard to-day in
the presence OF an enormous crowd.
4 granstand was erected to accom-
modate 5000 people. Among those pres
ent were the Duke and Duchess of
Abercorn, Lord and Lady Dufferin, the
Marquis and Warehouses of London
derry. the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl
of Ava, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach and the Lord
Mayor of Belfast.
The Oceanic, unlike the Great East
ern which was launched broadside.
was launched stern foremost, though
longer and weighing half as much
again as the Great Eastern.
The vessel is 7O4 feet long and her
gross tonnage is 1900. To walk from
her bow to her stern and back again
means stroll of 500 yards, SO that any
one who accomplishes this trip three
times will have nearly covered mile
| She will have only three light pole
masts, as sail power is useless in yes
sci of this class. Every appliance
known to modern engineering has beer
introduced into this enormous stee
ship.
| Another interesting fact about the
Oceanic is that she has a coal capacc!
sufficient to enable her to circumnavi
gate the globe at speed of II knot:
an hour.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The re-

hama, found there was being rushed
into Hawaii by every steamer which
was leaving Oriental ports contract la
borers, and that the total of those who
are under order by Hawaiian planters
was 5000, has had the effect OF making
the committees of the Senate and
House take up and consider at once
the Perkins-Barham bill extending
over the islands the labor and exclu-
sion laws of the United States.
The information came to Senator
and a Representative in a letter from
Rice at Yokohama, which set forth
that while in Hawaii they found there
had been permits issued for 5000 cool
+, les and upon arrival in Japan he dis
covered that men were being rushed
forward to get them into the country
before July 1st. Rice reported that
several contract labor companies OF
-Japan were sending labOrerS as fast
as they could be secured Commits
| sioner Powderly also reported that
| confidential information had come that
$50 Italians were under contract with
Hawaiian planters and were being
sent forward at once.
| AS soon as this letter came TO Sen
| ator Perkins he polled the Senate Com
| mittee on Education and Labor ano
| found that majority was in favor OF
| immediate action and that the bill
would be taken up and pressed for ac,
tion Immediately.
In the House Barham went to Char
man Gardner of the Committee on La
Dor, and after stating the case was
authorized to write a favorable repor
lupoh the bill and was assured 1T woult
be brought in and pressed Immediate
ly. This would indicate that the law!
may be put into execution before the
