Build cunboats az Mara Island.
VALLEJO. CAL, Aug 27.--A sister
ship to the gunboat Monocacy will be
built at Mare Island. Telegraphic or.
deff to begin work were received
from washington this morning Both
gunboats win be used in Chinese wa
tiers.
With two ships to build instead of
one, the cost of each will be lessened
by distribution Of the overhead
charges, and the estimate Of $141,000
for the Monocacy was so much lower
than the nearest private bid--211, 900
by q Seattle firm-that. an investiga-
ton was demanded and made.
Authorization for the gunboat just
ordered was made by Congress in
1893. Great Britain objected under
the treaty Of 1872 to the use OF the,
gunboat on the great lakes, as was
planned, and after IA years the con-
tract has now been let.

Reports from San Francisco are to
the effect that the Pacific Navigation
company, which operates the palatial
turbiners Yale and Harvard between
the Bay City and Los Angeles and
San Diego, will place two fast steam
ers on the run to Puget Sound, cover
ing the whole coast of the United
States on the Pacific. The Yale and
Harvard are faster than twenty knots,
while none of the other coast steam.
ers make more than sixteen knots.
They will charge higher rates and
this year the service has been patro-
nized to such an extent that it is ru-
mored they will place two 20-knot
boats on the northern run to compete
for the railroad passenger traffic. 1t
is proposed to make the run from San
Francisco to Puget Sound in two days.
