HARTMAN TO VISIT JAPAN.
Wall Street Sees Prospect of Union
Pacific Steamboat Line.

New York. July Be. H. Hartman
is soon to make long trip to the ORR
ent, and while 1t has been given out
that he is going to Asia for recreation
it is generally believed in Wall street
that important business matters will
be undertaken by him during his stay
in Japan.
Mr.. Hartman believes that Japan,
after the close of the present war, will
enter upon a marvellous period of
business and commercial development
As the trade with such a country will
be of great Importance to the trans
Atlantic railroads it is thought that
Mr.. Hartman is going abroad with a
view to forming some important traf-
fic alliances.
new trans-Pacific steamship COM
pany is suggested, as it is believed
that Japan will become an important
maritime nation, and will undoubtedly
want to establish commercial steam
ship lines to all important countries
of the world. An alliance between
such a steamship company and the
Union Pacific railroad, which is con-
trolled by Mr.. Hartman, is expected
to be one of the results or this trip.
