NEW STEAMER LINE

Vanderbilts Will Enter

TT Is reported that new line of
big freight steamships will soon be
placed in operation in the Pacific
with Honolulu as one of their. ports
Of call The Vanderbilt interests are
backing the venture, which will in
the Hawaiian Co. in that
| it will ship freight from New York
via the Tehuantepec route. 1t will,
however, be different in that it will
| take in the Southern California ports
on it's regular route. Full particu-
lars of the plans of the new COM
pany are contained in the San Diego
Union of June 25. as follows:
Another large fleet of big freight
liners will soon be running between
San Diego and Salina Cruz, according
to advices received from the City of
Mexico last night
1t is stated that the Mexican Gov
ernment has offered the Vanderbilt
railroads liberal inducements to
route their heavy transcontinental
shipping over the National Tehuan-
tepec railroad
The Vanderbilts are formulating
plans for the establishment of line
of steamships to ply between New
ork and Coatzacoalcos, the Atlantic
terminal of the National Tehuantepec
railroad, and between Salina Cruz,
the railroads S Pacific terminus, and
San Diego and the Orient.
1t is said that the plans already
outlined arrange for the Vanderbilt
system to carry it's traffic to and
from the Orient and Pacific Coast
States as follows: The ships on the
Pacific side will load to Asiatic ports
picking up freight at Honolulu, sail
thence to Salina Cruz, discharge
there goods for New York, and load
again at Salina Cruz, taking on
goods from New York and carrying
them to San Diego, thence returning
to Oriental and Hawaiian ports, re-
DCClluS lIc uIl via DdH DlcSO.
At present the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Company is the only line
| following out this route from Salina
Cruz, taking on goods from New
York and carrying them to San Di-
ego, thence returning to Oriental and
Hawaiian ports, repeating the run
via San Diego.
At present the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Steamship Company is the only line
following out this route from Salina
Cruz to Honolulu via San Diego, and
lit is possible that the Vanderbilt
boats will adopt practically the same
lines of travel as are now used by
the American Hawaiian liners,

BIDDING FOR TRAFFIC

Mexico City, June 23.-The Mexi-
lean Government is said to have of
fered liberal inducements to the Van
derbilt system of railways to route
their transcontinental traffic over
the National Tehuantepec Railroad.
IT, is stated here on good authority
that the Vanderbilt interests will es-
tablish line of steamships to ply
between New York and CoatZacola-
cos, the Atlantic terminus of the ma
tional Tehuantepec line, and between
Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminus, and
California and Oriental points.
The proposed arrangement is said
to be the outcome of failure of nego-
tiations by which the Government en-
deavored to have the Pacific Mail
steamship line give it's transcontinen-
tai traffic exclusively to the Tehuan-
tepec route instead of dividing with
the Panama line.
r. c. Couples, who is Investigating
| the situation on behalf of the Van
derbit lines, is now on the isthmus
Of Tehuantepec for the purpose Of
obtaining a personal knowledge OF
| the facilities afforded by the nation
al Tehuantepec in handling the traf-
flc.
