WANTS TOHANDLE PANAMA MAILS

and probably more; average sea speed

! lthirteen of the number of the latter
class. and nine sailings per month
| from New York to Pacific Coast ports
and Hawaii, including San Diego, San
! Pedro, San Francisco, Portland, Seat
| tie and Tacoma. That the time from
/ New York to Colon would be from six
| to seven days and to San Francisco
| from eighteen to twenty days; from
| San Francisco to Panama from ten to
| twelve days.
The mail service we could provide
with these frequent sailings would be
/ fully as efficient as the one contem-
, plated in your contract.
AS to compensation, the regular
postal rate of four cents per pound
would be adequate.
Furthermore, should all of the SER
vices which are required under your
advertisement come into existence,
their total annual freight capacity
would be but a small part OF that
which we are providing for.
AS our ships could make the trip to
San Francisco in from eighteen to
twenty days time, as compared to six
teen days by those of the proposed
service, we would meet the require
ments of the shippers of the highest
class freight. In fact, this Company
today by its Tehuantepec tranship-
ment route carried this year 100000
tons of general freight of all classes
(exclusive of the 100000 tons of sug-
ar IL carries from HawaiD from the
highest TO the lowest with the excep-
ton of perishable freight. We also
propose to insulate and refrigerate q
number of ships so as to be able to
provide for large tonnage of citrus
fruit.
At the time of the opening of the
Canal this Company expects to have
II fleet Of sufficient capacity to trans
port annually 100000 tons of freight
or about 100000 tons more freight
than II Is carrying today. To secure
this additional freight materially low
er rates than those 1t is now charg-
ing must be made to divert this large
tonnage from the transcontinental
railroads to the Canal route. E. :.

rect or indirect interest in It or ar

Especial Busletin Correspondence
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 1.-The
only proposition looking to carrying
the mails through the Panama Canal
when completed. came from the Ame-
Hawaiian Steamship Company.
The sum of SI50,000 year Is already
available for the purpose. but strange
ly enough none of the big Transport
tation companies came forward with
bids.
President George $. Dearborn, for
the Hawaiian Steamship
Company, did not actually bid on car
rying the mails but submitted pro-
position to the Government. The rea-
son assigned was that the ships de-
signed to meet the Governments spe-
cifications must depend entirely on
the annual subsidy.
The proposition submitted by Pre-
sidcnt Dearborn follows:
list That the passenger type of
ship required under the proposed con-
tract is not one that is suitable for
carrying freight economically; that
lNt llilll'N Nld'f l'l tltlSu' WI 'h'h
ship on account of the cncroachment
of the passenger accommodations and
the appurtcnances thereof, would not
produce n sufficient amount of rev
onue. So that ii would subsist en-
tirely upon the subsidy.
2ud. The revenue frOm passenger
traffic can not be conservatively esti-
mated of sufficient amount to Offset
the impairment of the revenue from
freight, in such type of ship. The
passenger time of the transcontinent-
four days will preclude any passCn-
ger traffic via the Canal, except that
Of tourists; particularly rs the price
of passage must necessarily be high
or than that by railroad.
3rd. The contingency of the Qucs-
ti0n arising in the future of the lc-
gality of subsidy applied to ships
IN service protected by the Navi-
cation laws, which is without prece-
dent and could be construed as a
double subsidy.

Co. bcgs to submit its program for
operating a steamship service through
the Panama Canal, with its present
