RUSSIAN S. S. LINE.
A Russian line of steamships is to be
operated between this port and the ST.
berian coast, and the first vessel will
arrive here about the first of June.
Lieutenant V. Pavlov. formerly of the
Russian navy, arrived here today from
the Orient on the steamer Nippon Maru
and he brings the news of the estab-
Iisment of the new line.
Lieutenant Pavlov is on his way to
st. Petersburg to complete the organ
iZation Cf the company that is to oper-
ate the steamers. The vessels will ply
between this port and Vladivostok, and
at first will engage exclusively in the
freight trade. Later on passengers will
be carried by the steamers. The COM
pany which Pavlov represents at pres
ent owns two vessels, one of 1000 tons
capacity, the other at $500 tons bur-
den. These vessels are at present ply
ing between Vladivostok and Odessa.
1t is the plan of the new company to
build ten steamers to engage in trade
between Vladivostok and this port and
also to run to Australia. 1t will be the
first regular line of freighters ever es-
tablished between this port and Vladi-
vostok-Examiner.
THETIS TO RE-ENTER SERVICE.
The old revenue cutter Thetis, IA
nous on this coast, is soon to be re-
commissioned, after having been thor
oughly overhauled and repaired at the
Risdon Iron Works. New boilers and
a machine shop have been installed on
the Thetis and according to the Off
GERS aboard the cutter will be as good
as ever she was when she again goes
into service. The Thetis is about thir-
ty years old. The cutter Bear, now
laid up in port, is soon to be also
overhauled and repaired. The Thetis |
and Bear, it will be remembered by |
ld-timers, became famous on account |
of their cruise to the Arctic some years |
ago on relief expedition.-Chronicle |

is felt here for the safety of the |
schooner HonoiDu, Captain Lurman,

company with the Ariel and G.. NJ.
Watson, which have been in port ten
days 1t is feared that they have en-
countered the storms which wrecked
the Valencia and been disabled or have
been driven far out of their course.
