MONTHLY STEAMERS
DIRECT TO MANILA
Peru. Gaelic and Nippon Maru TO
lnausurate New Joint Seized.
ule to Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 15.-Direct
Manila has been esta blished by the joint
action of the Occidental and Oriental,
Pacific Mail and Togo Kisen Kaisha
lines, and series of sailing dates was
yesterday announced. They are so ar
ranged that one of the nine steamers
belonging TO the three companies will
| call at Manila once a month, the Peru
of the Pacific Mail being scheduled to
make the initial trip on March 5th
next The Gaelic of the Occidental and
Oriental follows on April Sth and the
Nippon Maru of the japanese line on
May 9th. Thereafter they alternate in
that order.
1t is claimed that the arrangement
was brought about by the recent union
of the San Francisco commercial bod
les for the purpose of getting Govern
ment aid to secure direct communica-
ton. A joint committee was formed,
consisting of George A, Newhall, pres
ident of the Chamber of Commerce; G.
w. McNear, president of the Produce
and Merchants Exchange; and An
drew Carrigan, of Durham, Carrigan
& Hayden, with e. Scott as secretary.
This committee visited Washington a
year ago, and had several talks with
President Mckinley and Secretary of
War Root, but because they had no
practical plan to propose at that time
nothing was done.
Since then the practical plan devel-
oped through the cooperation of the
three big lines, each one shouldering
an equal responsibility in the venture.
There can be no question that they |
have been assured of Government aid, |
which, in this instance, probably |
means no more than Government pat |
1t has been confidently asserted for |
some time past that the North German !
Lloyd people, who have boats running
in nearly every section of the world, !
would establish an independent San
Francisco Manila line. {,

Greatest moun Ever Held by United

A Washingto dispatch says: The sum
If gold now in the United States treas
ury exceeds that of any previous time
In the history Of the country, and with
one possible exception. it exceeds that
tory Of the world. The single reported
exception is that OF Russia about eight
years ago, when that country was pre-
pairing to resume gold payments.
At that time Russia Is said to have
had in its treasury $59S, 0O0, 900 in gold
The vaults of the United States treas
ury contained $573, 1896, 1914. an increase
since July ]. 1901. of $40, 0S7, 1897. This
stock of gold is now being added to at
tie rate of from 5000 900 to $500. 900 a
day, with no prospects of a recession
in the rate OF deposits. This condition
of things is eminently satisfactory 10
the treasury officials, who regard it as
the best possible evidence of prosperity
and of confidence in the financial sta
b,lity Of this country.
The gold now coming in is being re-
placed by gold certificates, United
States notes and silver certificates, the
former being supplied where the de-
nominations wanted are $50 and over
the United States notes for tens and
silver certificates for ives. twos and
