At Nagoya, on the other hand, I went
through the large Morimura porcelain
factory, where $500 hands are en-
ployed, who work from a. NJ. to 6 80

half are young women. We were

Baron r. Kondo is the president, stands
at the head with eighty large steamers
and some $4,000 miles of service In
coastng and foreign trade, having i'm
portant runs on the European, Ameri-
can, Yangtse-kiang, Bombay, Austria
liam and South American routes. II has
paid 10 per cent dividends for years
past.
The Osaka Shosen Kaisha, Of which
T. Nakabashi is president, has over
100 steamers, mostly Of moderate tom
mage. 1t operates mostly in Asiatic
home waters between japanese ports
and to Chinese, Formosan and Corean
ports, with service to Tacoma via
Shanghai and Yokohoma. 1t is paying
s per cent. dividends.
The Tayo Kisen Kaisha, OF which
S. Asano il president is younger than
the other two concerns named. 1t has
run since 1896 n splendid fortnightly
service between San Francisco and
Yokohama via Honolulu, with calls at
other japanese and Chinese ports to
Manila with steamers of % 900 tons. I
sailed to the Orient and returned on diff
ferent steamers of this line, and can
testify to the comfort and courtesy |
experienced. The four large steamers
on this route are the favorites for the
valuable raw silk cargoes which are the
apple OF the eye of Japan's Industries.
Their chief officers are American, but
one gets pleasant foretaste of Oriental
life in their japanese crews and Chi
nese boys" The company has a South
