Corps, detailed in his stead.
TACOMA, Oct 11.-Evidence of
the increasing trade between this
coast and the Hawaiian islands is
! given by the fact that neither the
Americana Hawaiian Steamship com
pany, which have the sister ships
Pleiades and Hyades operating in the
service, will relinquish the vessels
! whose charters recently expired
When the Hyades, operating for the
Matson company, was last at this
port, it was given out that she had
been fixed for at least three more
voyages, and now comes the an
nouncement from the American-Ha
waiian Steamship Company that the
steamer Pleiades has been taken fol
another year for the Hawaiian Island
trade.
The Pleiades recently arrived al
San Francisco from the islands anC
her charter expired this month. She
will now remain in the service for a.
least another year. AS both of these
steamship companies are building
other steamers, for the service, theil
tered is taken as an indication thai
the venture has been more successful
than anticipated. 1t is believed thai
the Matson Navigation company will
eventually purchase the Hyades fol
the trade and retain her in the ser
vice with the fleet now in operation
This company will next year begil
a passenger service from the SounC
to the islands. The new steamer VII
helmina, now finishing on the Allan
tic, will be brought around for thu
trade from San Francisco and one o
the big passenger steamers now opeT
ating out of San Francisco will b.
placed in the northern service.
The steamers Hyades and Pleiade
formerly operated in the Boston TOY
Boat company's fleet from Tacom
to Oriental ports. They were with
J drawn two years ago and placed 70
season In the Nome trade Tn
next year, or a year ago. the Matsol
Navigation company chartered tn
Hyades and Immediately the Amer
can-Hawaiian Steamship compan,
took the Pleiades. 1t was said a
the time that the latter company Ell
gagged the Pleiades to keep the othe
J company from securing her, but tn
fact that she has again been charter
ed would indicate that she was take
in order to care for the increasin
business between this coast and tn
islands.
Among the later charters Is tn
French bark Neuilly, now at Sa
} Francisco, to load wheat for the Uni
} ed Kingdom at Portland or Puge
Sound for Kerr, Clifford 6 Co. Sh
received the union rate.
The French ship Duguay Trout
has been chartered to carry barle
from San Francisco to the Unite
Kingdom, with option Of wheat froI
: Portland.
