?. STEAMSHIP
LINE TO ORIENT

Although the Western Pacific officials
in this city are making every effort to
guard against what they consider pre-
mature announcement of the plans of
the Gould line for a trans Pacific lin,
of steamships from this port, it has
become known in commercial circles
that negotiations have been pending
with one OF the German companies, AMI
from a reliable source of informsttoA
the disclosure came yesterday thaS -
agreement with the North German
Lloyd company had been entered into,
to maintain a service from San Fran.
| cisco to the Orient in connection with
| the new transcontinental railroad.
Since it was announced in the
Chronicle on Wednesday that the plans
of the Western Pacific for q line ct
steamships sailing from here had
reached a stage where the officials Of
the company were negotiating for
dock room on the harbor front, and
tudt plans udu UcCu QiaWH " nv"
piers to be built near the foot Of beale
street, comment has been general In
financial and commercial circles. At
first there was a tendency to discredit
the authenticity of the report, as it
was thought that the recent agreement
entered into between Hartman and
Gould, when the latter was the recipi-
ent of financial assistance from the
head of the Southern Pacific, would
preclude an independent move of such
~far-reaehing Importance as the esta5-
lishment of a rival steamship line on
the Pacific. When the information OF
the announcement which had been
made became apparent, and it was ad-
mitted that the new docks were being
designed to accommodate steamers OF
sepecifc dimensions, the question that
has been frequently asked is as to what
line Gould had obtained for the new
service.
