flying foreign flags will carry neitbcI
passengers nor freight between the ISL

Some little temporary inconvenience
will be experienced by the travelling
element and shippers, on this account
but the pilikia will not be of long du-

Already II. Hackfeld & Co, Ltd. the
agents for the Occidental and Oriental

Hawaiian Territorial Bill all passenger
and freight traffic by foreign vessels be-
tween these Islands and United States

be the last of the Occidental and ORR
