Seeking a New Field.

There is a rumor current that the
China Commercial Steamship Company
will look for business on Puget Sound.
Notification of this report cannot be
made here at present, for the reason
that General Agent Comfort is out Of
the city and will not be back for some
days, but it is said that the Clavering,
now in port, is to go from here to Brit
iSh Columbia to coal, preliminary to
calling at Seattle and Tacoma for
freight before starting on her trip to
Hongkong. The attractive feature Of
the lines establishment early this year
was the prospect of making money by
transporting Chinese laborers from
China to ManZanillo at SIS or there
abouts per head, but the opposition IF
both the Mexican Government and the
Pacific Mail Company soon put a
damper on the business and the last
few steamers of the China Commercial
Company have omitted the Manzanillo
end of the trip, coming direct from
China and Japan with no Chinese pas
sengers and only light cargoes of

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 11.-w. II.
Avery. general agent of the Toyo Kisen
haisha in this city, returned yesterday
IN the liner Hongkong Maru. accom-
panied by Mrs. Avery, from a four
months sojourn in the Orient Mr.
avery left here on May 18th in the Nip
pom Maru, and has visited Japan, Ma
MIA and Hongkong. One of the OBJ
Jects of his trip was to examine the
Hamburg-American steamships Ham
burg and Kaitchou, which the Togo XII
sen Kaisha contemplated purchasing
for the line connecting this port with
the Orient. He looked over the vessels
in the Orient, and, while finding them
palat1al and in many respects faultiess,
they were found to be unsuited to the
Pacific trade, principally owing to their
high superstructure. So the japanese
stockholders, who bad depended to a
great extent upon General Agent
Avery's opinion, have decided not TO
purchase the vessels.
1t is understood that plans and speci-
fications for two or more steamers for
the San Francisco route have been ap-
proved by the Tcy-a Kisen Kaisha, but
no contracts for their construction
have yet been awarded. The steamers
will, however, be built in Japan, prob
ably at Nagasal1i, and will be of about
n,50O tons capacity, with speed OF
nineteen knots an hour, and thorough
ly up to date in all their equipment.
The japanese stockholders in the COM
pany are, from all accounts, quite sat
isfied with the showing made by their
three lines on the San Francisco route,
and intend to improve their opportuni-
ties in every way possible.
