Two Pacific Mail Liners Monday.
The Alakea wharf viii be scene
of great activity on Monday, as two
Pacific Mail liners are due to arrive
here on that day. The Persia has
been delayed, and instead of getting
here today, she will not be due until
five o'clock on Monday morning. The
Mongolia, going to the Orient. is due
from San Francisco the same day. In
all probability they will both be off
port first thing in the morning. So
far the Mongolia has not been heard
from by wireless.
The Benefits Of Panama Canal.
Madras Times: Do Ceylon people
realize the full effect the Panama Ca
nal is going to exert? An Australian
business man, in conversation with a
Times of Ceylon correspondent, said
they do not seem to have grasped the
Importance of the changes now at

the present all-sea route to London via
Colombo. The mails by that time will
almost assuredly, be forwarded by
the All Red route via Vancouver. The
result will be that the Australian pas-
senger traffic now passing through
Colombo will practically cease to ex-

Colombo, but do not see how it is tn

the meantime as you never worked be-
lore to secure a tourist clientele in
Australia for Ceylon, and, if success
full, this will in a measure mitigate the
loss. Suva will be the last port of cali
from Sydney and the first port of call
from Panama. Already land is randi
