JAPANESE SEEK
big new Liner

~ gone into service, Is predicted Will
soon change registry and fly the Jap
anese colors.
The statement WAS made this morn
ing that the Togo Kisen kaisha had
concluded negotiations toward the pur-
chase Of a fine tyre Of passenger car
FER, now in service in the Atlantic, in
acquiring this vessel, it is said that
the efforts Of Assistant General Man
the efforts of Assistant General Man
age, met with success. The japanese
line has been in the market for a
steamer for some time. 1t was first
declared that a new vessel would be
built at one of the japanese owned
shipyards. AS nearly two years woulC
be required to complete such craft
efforts were then directed to procuring
a tuitable vessel on the other side OF
the world.
The Shinyo ard Chiyo Maru, two OF
the largest vessels in the Togo Kisen
KIisha service were abreast at Ala
kea slip for some minutes this morn
ing.
The pair of gigantic liners, bow on,
created an imposing spectacle to hun
dIeds of people who gathered at the
watertide this morning to witness an
unusual sight in the history of local
chipping.
While it is not the first time that
two Togo Kisen Kaisha steamers have
visited the port at the same time, it is
the first occasion offered local people
tC view the vessels a, such close
range.
The Chiyo Maru was held at the
port pending the receipt Of coast mail
and adyices.' Captain Green was re-
lltctant to sail until he had received
the regular ships mail. ~-.-e~.. - --
The Shiyo Maru, was delayed out
side the harbor pending final deci:
sion as to the berth the vessel would
tske upon entering the harbor.
At is was, there wai, ample room 70"
the two liners in the slipway that
separates the Alskea from the Rich
ards street wharf. In fact h5rbor Mas
ter Foster is authority for the cheer
fni declaration that two large coal
scCws could have been set between
tho vessels, with some room to spare.
Captain II. Stanley Smith reports a
fne trip down from the coast. the
b.. liner brought s cabin passengers
fOr Honolulu. The through list in
C udes 20 cabin, 101 second class and
lie Asiatic steerage pas; engers, OF
the latter, there are rs Japanese, 40
Chinese with a scattering of East In
dams. .a.
hour Chinese are locked up in the
brig, 1t being alleged that they are I'M
der the ban of the Federal Immigra-
ton authorities on the coast.
A very large mainland mail amount
I'M: to 31S sacks arrived in the lineT.
The Shinyo was berthed at the Rich
ards street wharf, therefore necessitat-
ing some delay in the throwing of a
gangplank from the ship to the wharf.
The Richards street wharf is far from
satisfactory as a berth for large liners.
The doors that have been cut to Permit
the placing of gangway are entirely
too small and are placed in a position
that fall far short of connecting with
tie regular opening provided on board
the trans-Pacific liners.
The Shinyo Maru is to be dispatch
ed for Japan ports and Hongkong at
FIVE o'clock this afternoon. About one
hundred Asiatic steerage passengers
have been booked at the agency OF
Castle and Cooke for the Far East.

from the coast in his vessel, but was
obliged to relinquish his duties On ar
rival here. He is an inmate of local
sanitarium, with a fair chance of
speedy recovery.
A report brought to Honolulu in the
sShinyo Maru this morning was to the
effect that an officer would be sent
out in the Siberia who would relieve

ties as freight clerk and purser. The
