II Is expected that the canal route
will be taken by the lines to and
from New York and Australasia. The
distance saved by Panama, compared
with the Magellan. route from New
York, is 1922 nautical miles, the rel
alive distances being 10000, as
against 1882 miles. The steaming
distance from New York to Auck-
land will be $3.50, as against 1860
miles from any port in England by
the Suez canal. Thus New York and
the manufacturing Eastern states
will be placed much nearer to the
Asian and Australian markets.
The plans of the Japanese compan-
les are far reaching, it is reported.
They include a. direct steamship SER
vice TO New York from Yokohama,
Kobe and Shanghai, via the isthmus,
carIfed lon Jointly by the three big
Japanese compapies, each. placing
vessels on the route. "th'
The keel of the new steamer Fu-
lhini Maru for the Nippon Yusen'
Kaisha was laid at the Misu Works,
Eagasaki, two months ago. 1t is one
Of typ liners for freight and passen-
ger traffic with Europe. The keel of
the other, Suwa Maru. will be laid
next month. Each vessel will be Of
1900 gross tons and have speed
Of sixteen and quarter knots. This
llne is having built similar vessel
at Kobe and two freight steamers of
10 900 tons each at Glasgow.
The Harrison line, which bids to
be large factor in the trade between
Europe and the Pacific Coast, is
building eight vessels of the most
Improved type, each with capacity
for 10000 tons. The steamers are

once Wrecked; Now IN Service.
After having been taken apart and
made twenty feet longer, the Union
steamship Company's northern
steamer Cheakamus, formerly the
Cheslakee, is now ready to leave Van
couver on her northern run after be-
ing laid up for alterations for several
months. Captain Cookies says she
rides very steadily since she was
lengthened.e
The alteration of the vessel was al
pretty big job. as IL was necessary
to cut her in two, and insert the add !
ed twenty feet amidships. The i'm
movement will add to ner sea-goinS
qualities considerably. as before she
was altered she was considered tool
short for waters of this coast in her
capacity as a freight and passenger
carrier.
BY the alterations, it was possible
10 add more berths, besides increas-
|inE the size of the cookrooms and en-
riDe room. The new pilot house is !
ulaced we'll forward. Forty-five tons
of ballast are loaded between tho |
lower decks adding to her steadiness
in rough water.
