NEWS ALONG THE WATERFRONT
FREIGHT RATES
ARE SMASHED

The Chronicle of May 20, contains tn
following
When the big liner Siberia Of tn,
Pacific Mail Steamship Company sail
from this port for the Orient Oh he
next trip she. will carry freight at Z
cheaper rate than ever before. Thi:
does not mean that the Pacific Mai
company contemplates a reduction al
along the line as a permanent thing
but 1t points to the fact that ii intend.
10 institute a rate war in the carry
ing OF freight to Oriental ports. The
appearance OF a new competing fIans-
oceanic line is the cause of this most
recent move by the Pacific Mali peo-
pie 1t is evidently their PURPOSE to
oegin discouraging the competing line
before 1t gets fairly started The aeert
or the Pacific Mail Company announced
unofficially yesterday that rates would
be so cub that a ton of freight couli be
shipped to the Orient for "a. BY CA
rying freight at this rate it is hoped
that the new rival company, the China
Commercial Steamship Company, VIII
be unable to compete.
About the first of this year the new
company was organized. Tt is distinc-
lively a Chinese affair, the stock all
being owned by wealthy Mongolians.
The promoters of the company stated
that the primary object of instituting
this new line was to build up trade be-
tween China, Mexico and the South
American republics
INTENDS TO ENTER LOCAL FIELD
From later indications. however. it is
apparent that the new company In
tends to enter the local field u o GER
tain extent, hence the alarm OF the
Pacific Mail and it's hasty cutting of
rates. The China Commercial Steam
ship Company's boats are not equip
ped to compete in the business OF cary
ing passengers, as provisions are made
principally for the accommodation of
steerage passengers, although arrange
ments have been made for the accom-
mediation of a few cabin passengers.
Mexico is to be colonized By Chinese
and most of these will come over as
steerage passengers and be dropped off
at the ports of Manzanillo and Mazat-
Ian on the coast of Mexico. But it has
been planned to make San Francisco
a terminal port. and on all return trips
to the port of departure, Hongkong,
the steamers are planning TO carry as
much freight as they can get The
ports Of call in the new line include
Hongkong, Shanghai. Moi. Kobe, Yo-
kohamaL, Honolulu. Manzanillo. Mazat-
Ian and San Francisco. in the order
named. On the trip coming over not
so much attention will be paid to the
business of carrying freight to this
port, as the steamers will carry large
numbers of Chinese steerage passen-
gers for Mexico, and freight for the
South American ports But on the re-
turn trip no such conditions will ex-
ist Every effort will be made to get
as much freight as possible in order to
have the ships not go back in ballast
That the local shippers to Oriental
ports will benefit by this competition
has already been demonstrated by this

first move of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company. Whether a greater cut will
be made depends entirely on the vigor
with which the new company convas-
ses the field.
It seems that it is well equipped to
do so. The officials are all men of wide
experience and known ability. ]. S.
Van Buren,, the general manager, has
been a general agent for the Pacific
Mail. the Togo Kisenl Kaisha and the
Occidental and Oriental Steamship
companies. He has looked over the
field thoroughly, both in this country
and in Mexico, and is confident that
the new company can hold its own.A j.
" C. Comfort has been appointed res
ident general agent in this city. He
is one of the best-known steamship
men on this Coast, having acted in the
capacity of purser in both the Togo
Kisen Kaisha and Occidental and ORR
entail lines.
The company will have three new
steamers of 500 tons each. They have
been built expressly for them in Eng
land The first of these boats, the
Atholl, was due in This port yesterday
from Manzanillo, but she was delay
ed by the heavy northwesters on the
outside, and had not been sighted up
to a late hour last night She will
probably arrive in port some time to-
day.
The company is financed entirely by
Chinese. The. president is Eng Ho1
Fong and the vice-president Luen Kan
Ming. Both these gentlemen have
thoroughly canvassed the territory
their company intends to invade. and
have seen sufficient promise to invest
large sums of money.
This is not the first rate war that the
Pacific Mail has had to institute in an
endeavor to kill competition. Two years
ago. a vigorous war was instituted
when the North American Navigation
Company and the Compania Sud-
Vapores tried to. get some
Of the business in the carrying of
freight and passengers between this
port, Panama and the intermediate
points. At that time rates were cut
from $3.50 to 81. and the Pacific Mail
Company was finally victorious.
