from Shanghai is European merchan-
disc.
Captain Bent of the Nippon Maru is
in command of the Tenyo Maru this
trip, Captain Going having been put
on the reserve list on full pay and
quarters at Yokohama. This is custom

this extra vessel the T. X. X. is able
now to lay up one of its boats for the
regular government overhauling and
inspection, and subject it to speed
test. Every five years these steamers
must go through this speed test, run
ming at least at seventeen knots per
hour, in order that the subsidy may
be continued When the Nippon Maru
has completed her overhauling, she will
be put on the run again and another
vessel given the same test.
When the Tenyo Maru came into the
harbor yesterday and entered her dock
she had difficulty in tying up at the
wharf, largely on account of the on
shore wind. The last bow line taken
to the wharf was carried by Hawai-
ian swimmer. The vessel was on an
even keel, the result of considerable
change made in her ballast and oil
tanks, and because large quantity of
pig iron was placed in the hold for
permanent ballast.
