NEW TRANs.PAClFlC LINE.

Ships to Be Operated Between San
Francisco and Manila.
1t is regarded as more than likely
tina the present arrangement between
the Pacific Mail. Occidental and ORR
entail and Toyo Kisen Ka1sha compa-
MES by which a monthly boat is oper-
ated to Manila will sooner or later be
radically changed and a direct line
from San Francisco to Manila be es-
tablished.
Whether such line will be operated
by the three Oriental passenger COM
pan1es Is uncertain. One fact Is ap-
parent, however, to steamship people
on the Pacific, and this is that If the
Manila business is worth working up
1t will very soon demand the services
OF special vessel. Traffic conditions
to and from the Orient are such now
that the Oriental companies cannot af-
ford schedule, which takes them to Yo-
kohama, Kobe, Nagasaki, Shanghai
and Hongkong, and the result will be
that special vessels will have to run
between Manila and San Francisco.
1t Is very likely that the American
Hawaiian Steamship Company has IFS
eye on the Manila business and when
the time arrives, will put on q line Of
vessels between that port and San
francisco. There are now almost
ready for going into commission two

all three cities were based on only
single Sunday, and are therefore more
valuable as foundation for discussion
than as evidence for or against the
assertions which gave rise to the in
ouiry. In Chicago the census was par
ticularly superficial, only the morning
service being considered and 40 out
of the $50 churches not figuring in the
inquiry.
Taking the figures as we find them'
it is estimated that the church attend
ance in Chicago was one in four OF the
population, in New York one in three
and in three representative boroughs OF
London one in seven.
This proves nothing as to the sup
posed decline in church attendance IN
the cities, there being no earlier stat1s-
tics for comparison.
One Sunday does not afford fair
test of religious interest, nor do the
preaching services alone bound the
