SAN FRANCISCO, July 7-P. A.
Richards, general agent of the Sub
marine Signal company, announces that
the steamers Missourian, Nebraskau
and Columbian of the American Ha-
waiian feet have been equipped with
submarine bells. Mr.. Richards re-
quests that all light vessels be in
strueted to pay particular attention to
the signal system, as the American
Hawaiian boats are the first on the
coast to be equipped with the signal
service.
With the exception Of the lightship
off swiftsure bank (No, 93) all the
light vessels on the coast are equipped
with the submarine signal service. APP
paratus for the swiftsure bank ship
is now on the way and will be in
stalled as soon as possible. It's said
that signal can be picked up at a
distance of IS miles.

and exporters of silk in the Orient and
is rated as one of China s ten wealthiest
merchants. He is compradore at Hong

"The feeling of Chinese merchants

the growing importance of trade with
the United States, and especially to
the action of the United States in pay
