The Pacific Mail
Is Reaching
Out.
Mariposa From Coast
MioWera From
Colonies.

1r<HE old reliable Oceanic steamship
Mariposa, Captain Rennie arrived
yesterday morning from San Fran
cisco after pleasant passage oc-
cupying exactly six days; the Cana
dian-Australian steamship Miowera-
Captain Hemenway, arrived from the
Colonies: the Oceanic steamship Ven
tura sailed for San Francisco in the
morning and the Togo Kisen Kaisha
America Maru got away for the Orient.
The Mariposa locked at the Oceanic
wharf, and the Miowera moored along
side the Pacific Mail wraf.
Honolulu has had a glut of shipping
in the last few days. The harbor is
full, as far as accommodations at the
wharyes are concerned. There is a
long line of ships in the stream waiting
their turn, and If any more arrive dur
ing the next few days they will have
to line up as best they can and take
their chances.
Yesterday the schooner Twilight came
into the harbor from Maui ports; the
American schooner Berthe Minor, Cap
tain Ravens, arrived from Eureka after
fifteen days at sea- the American bark
General Fairchild, Captain Files, made
port after sixty-one days from New
castle; the steamer James Makee, Cap
tain Tullett, entered the harbor from
Kappa with $500 bags of sugar and
the steamer J. A. Cummings returned
from windward Oahu ports.
The Mariposa sailed for the Colonies
last night, and the Miowera got away
for Vancouver and Victoria. The Brit
ish steamship Caithness, Captain
Proud. also sailed, being bound for
Australia with lumber from the Sound,
having put in here for coal.
Pacific Mail Reaching Oui.
The advent Of the new steamships
Korean and Siberian, now nearing
completion at Newport News for the
Pacific Mail Company, will make
some radical changes in shipping cir
cIes. According to one of the best
posted men, the Occidental and Orien-
tai Steamship Company will go out OF
existence, and the Gaelic, Coptic and
Doric will be returned to their British
owners, as the Mail company will be
able to handle the trade alone. me
Santa Fe wants vessels of this class
for the China trade, and 1smar, Imrie
& Co. may be able to dispose of the
= fleet to the railroad.
The Togo Kisen Kaisha will build
three larger and faster vessels to SUI
persede the America Maru, Nippon Ma
ru and Hongkong Maru, and will con-
tinue running in conjunction with the
Mail company, while the White Star
line Qsmay. Imrie & Coz, may put the
Majestic, Teutonic and Gothic on the
route; that is. if the Santa Fee takes
the Gaelic. Coptic and Doric.
Some months ago the Occidental and
Oriental Company wanted to replace
the Gaelic, Coptic and Doric with larg-
er vessels. and as the Oceanic and Gel
tic, the two largest steamships afioat,
have recently been added to the White
Stars Atlantic fleet, and others are
building, that concern was willing to
send out three vessels that can aver
age eighteen knots an hour, to replace
the three now on the route. The pow
ers that be In New York would not
agree to the arrangements, however,
as the program for the Occidental and
Oriental will be merged into the Pacific
Mail. In that event the Santa Fe and
White Star people will be looking for
wharf space.
The Korean and Siberian, the Mail
company's new steamships, will each
carry between $4,000 and 1900 tons of
freight, or do as much as half dozen
of the present fleet can, besides having
magnificent passenger accommodation.
The China will continue on her pres
ent run, while the Mail company may
put some of it's Panama fleet on the
HongkongManilar route to act as feed
ers to the China fleet
Everything Is in the air just now,
but with the arrival of the Korean the
Mail company's employees expect to see
many startling changes.
Another competitor of the Pacific
Mail that is building larger steamships
for its trade is the Pacific Steam Navi-a
cation Company. 1t has recently, in
conjunction with the Campania Sud
Americana de Vapores, entered into
competition with the American cons
pany, and 1t looks as If the new line
had come to stay.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany, like the White Star line is an
English concern, and it is having four
new steamships built on the Clyde for
it's California trade. The vessels are
to be of 5000 tons burden, 400 feet long,
81 feet beam and % feet deep They

Mexico and Panapsa. Judging from
the names. 1t wculd appear that the
company contemplates extending its
service to Victoria, B. c. The new
boats are being built as quickly as pos
sible, and will be the most palatial
steamships ever seen on this coast.
What with the new vessels of the
Pacific Mail. ocean greyhounds for the
Togo Kisen Kaisha, twenty-knot fliers
for the White Star line, and the pala-
tial liners for the Pacific Steam Nayiga-
ton Company, not forgetting the mag
nificent new vessels Of the Oceanic
Steamship Company's fleet, times
should be busy in few months
Looking for Turk.
A man ran into Davies & Co.'S store
yesterday and gasped, Have you got
a back door? I want to get out in a
hurry" He was shown the way and
soon vanished into Queen street at
high speed. Long after he was out of
sight they could hear him whiz. It
