WILL NOT BUY THE
PACIFIC MAIL BOATS

VICTORIA, B. c., December p
A San Francisco despatch saws the
report from New York that E. H. Har-
riman has planned to abandon the
Pacific Mail line gave rise to the rumor
that a japanese company, the Togo
kisen Kaisha, intended to purchase the
ships
Manager Avery, of the Toyo Kisen
Kaisha line, denied last night that his
company intended to buy the Pacific
Mail vessels. Mr.. Avery said he had
talked with Mr. Schwerin recently in
New York and that Mr.. Schwerin had
said nothing in regard to withdrawing
the Pacific Mail liners.
The Tovo Kisen Kaisha is now
building three new liners of its own
and it is not considered likely that the
Japanese eompanv will acquire the Pa
cife Mail boats. NJ. Shiraishi, mana
ger of the T. Y. K, is now in the
United States, having arrived at San
Francisco about week ago. He said:
We are building three new steam
ers at the Nagasaki dock yard They
are sister ships of 1880 tons each. 20
knots speed. and 10000 tons displaee-
ment- When completed, they viii be
placed on the run between the Orien-
tai and Occidental ports, replacing,
probably, the Nippon, Hongkong and
America Marus. The first steamer to
be completed and launched win be the
Tenyo Maru. She comes off the dock
in March, next year. The second
steamer TO be completed will be the
Chiyo Maru. She comes off in June.
The third will be completed in 1909.
Her name is not yet decided on"

JIMMY BRITT GAVE
BULLY A THRAsH|NG
CFrom Wednesdays Advertiser,

(F'rom Wednesdays Advertiser.)
| Jimmy Britt, gentleman and pugilist,
came 10 the relief of beauty in dis
tress at an early hour yesterday morn
ing in front of the Union Grill and
gave 2 sound thrashing to brute who
was abusing a woman. Britt, Reuter-,
the Red Dog and several other ball
players who had been at the Seaside
were having late supper in the Grill
sometime after midnight when a man
and woman walked past. The wo-
man stopped in front of the lighted
windows and looked towards the group
OF diners, evidently wishing to get a
good look at the celebrities of the ring
and diamond. Her stopping appeared
to irritate her companion, for he first
spoke sharply to her and then struck
her. slapping her viciously on the
cheek.
This was too much for the boys who
saw it and they rushed out to prevent
any further assault on the woman
Britt was the first man out and he
walked rapidly up TO the weeping girl
and the angry man. A few words were
spoken, then Rritt's right smacked on
the bully's jaw and down he went.
Staggering to his feet he motioned
as if to draw a knife or a gun. but
whatever his intentions were were cut
short by an uppercut that landed him
on his back, where he lay and took
the count.
Britt and the others helped him to
his feet and after telling him what he
might expect If he were ever caught
again abusing a woman a hack was
signafed and the girl and the thor
oughly cowed man were put in
The INTERRUPTED supper was then
proceeded with.
