The Pacific Mail Company's crack
liner, Siberia, fastest of the fleet, will
carry K. H. Hartman and family and
General Manager r. P. Schwerin when
she sails from here Rugust 16. 1t was
rumored yesterday that the Siberia wa
taking an extra amount of coal aboard
and would make an effort to lower the
record between here and Honolulu on
the next trip, but this is denied by Cen
eral Manager Schwerin, who said YES
terday that no attempt at a record
would be made by the Siberia. The
extra coal is aboard for the sole pur-
pose of making up lost time, if this
should be necessary, between Honolulu
and japanese ports, for President Har-
riman may decide to make a two days
stay at Honolulu. In any event. the
Siberia, which has never yet been put
to the test, may be called upon to make
to do so at any time between here and
Yokohama. President Hartman and
General Manager Schwerin expect to
return here on the liner Korea about
the LIST of October. On the same liner
will be Secretary of War Taft and his
party, including Miss Alice Roosevelt

STEAMERS FOR HAWAII.
The Matson Navigation Company
contemplates the building of two large
steamers to be used in the trade be-
tween this port and the Hawaiian Is
lands. Captain Matson returned from
the islands yesterday on the liner ST
IBERIA, and in a short time bids will be
asked from the shipbuilding concerns
on this Coast and in the East. The
company owns the steamers Enterprise
and Rosecrans and some sailing ves-
sells. The Rosecrans, however, is en-
gagged entirely as an oil carrier. The
island trade has now grown to such an
extent that this additional tonnage can
be used to profit. The Dollar Steam
ship Company is to have an addition
to it's already large fleet. Next October
a steamer about the size of the Hazel
Dollar will be launched. She will be
used in carrying lumber from this Coast
to the Orient and returning with ORR
entail merchandise. She will be COM
manded by Captain Cow, who brought
the Hazel Dollar around from Scotland
several months ago. The new steamer
will be named the Bessie Douar.-Ex-
aminer.
