Honolulu or southern route and be
spa'"hed from Yokohama to San
Francisco following the Great Circle.
This might be done in order to COM
pete with the fast schedule maintained
by the Canadian Pacific steamers
"Six steamers will be engaged in
the trans-pacific. service of the Togo
Kisen Kaisha within the next year.
The new Genyo Maru is fast being
completed at the yards at Nagasaki
This vessel is of the same size and
equipment as the Tenyo and the Chiyo
Maru. This latter vessel will go on
the San Francisco run and then IL Is
possible that there will be some rear
rangement of the schedules
However, to Offset the rather cheer
ing news brought by the European Of
ficers, Japanese official connected
with the operation of the .Tenyo Maru
pretty generally understood that with
the completion of the new Genyo Ma
Ell next spring, the Togo Kisen Kaisha
fully intended to withdraw the TenyO
and the ChiyO MGru from the llonUlu-
lu route and the three large and fast
er vessels would be operated between
China and Japan ports and San Fran
cisco by the way of the Great Circle.
From this source Il was also stated
that the three smaller liners, the Nip
pom, Hongkong and America Maru,
would then be placed ON run be-
tween the Far East and the Pacific
coast port, calling at Honolulu en-
route. This arrangement would mean
that Honolulu would secure the ser
vice of the smaller and now inferior
boats, the company thereby holding
its franchises and drawing down its
subsidies. If this arrangement is car
Iied into effect, this port would be to
all intents and purposes sidetrackcd
presumed that the smaller vessels
would be operated along the lines OF
second class or intermediate SER
vice such as now maintained ny the
Pacific Mail in It's handling o! the
steamers China and Asia
That Honolulu is a port worth while
on the r. X x. map is amply borne
out by the extent of freight that comes
into the island gateway by the means
of their steamers. There is never

Far East
When the Japanese vessel arrived
OFF the harbor this morning she had
less than four hundred tons of
through freight in her holds. The
vessel set low In the water but she
is weighted down with nothing more
valuable than plain salt water as bal

Captain W. c. T. S. Filmer. who for
the past eighteen months has been
assigned to shore duty ms superinten-
dent of the San Francisco wharf, has
lonned his sea toys and was found on
the bridge of the Tenyo this morning
in place of Captain Bent, who has
been granted vacation OF two round
trips. Captain Filmer is certainly no
stranger to Honolulu travellers and
shipping people. Filmer is rated as
one of the most popular shippers who
have ever directed the destines of u
liner in and out of this port.
The Tenyo brought dozen people
for Honolulu. In transit for Japan
ports and Hongkong there are 1l6 in
the cabin, 40 second class and In the
steerage 81 Japanese, 80 Chinese and
iG Hindoos.
