The new steamer will carry about 15,-
600 tons of freight and would be just
the kind of a vessel the Government
would want in case the emergency of
expediting stores to China should arise.
The fact that the steamer was charter
ed came as a surprise, but this is ex-

the middle of the sugar season and
bad time to start in the Hawaiian
trade, and that there is not sufficient
New York freight offering to make the
run to the Atlantic seaboard. The
Government has now only two trans
ports here for service. The Meade is
scheduled to sail for the Philippines on
the 10Th and the Sumner on August list.
