STEAMSHIP FLEET SOLD.
Pacific Company Planning to Quit
Business.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, in pursuance
Of its plan announced some time ago
to dispose of its fleet has sold five Of
it's steamers to the Atlantic Transport
Company, Of West Virginia. The
steamers 80 disposed Of are the Man
churia, Mongolia, Korea, Siberia and
China No terms were mentioned in
the announcement today and the OFF,
cials declined to discuss this matter at
this time.
The last sailing from San Francisco
by any Of these vessels to Oriental
ports under the Pacific Mail flag will
be on Aug. 25, by the Mongolian.
Some months ago the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company indicated that ii
would withdraw its steamers from the
trans-Pacific service and probably dis
pose of them because Of the new sea-
mems law, the terms Of which, 1t is
claimed, made It impossible to COM
pete with Japanese lines. Many OF
the members Of the crews, chiefly in
the fire rooms. consist Of cheap coolie
labor and under the new law, the Pa
cific Mail would have to replace them
with men speaking tho Same language
as the officers of the ship. This. II
was stated. was one Of the most oner-
Gus clauses Of the new law but there
were others, which contributed to the
decision of the company to dispose OF
its property.
The vessels sold are virtually the
biggest and best in the Pacific Mail
service The Mongolia and the Man
churta are sister ships Of 27,0o0 tons
each; the Korea and the Siberia each
have a tonnage Of $4,000 tons and the
China is Of 10000 tons burden. All ol
these vessels now are in commission
in the Pacific service.

with approximate accuracy on good
authority today. The line starting
from the vicinity OF Ossowetz, near the
Prussian border opposite the Mazurian
lakes region, curves to the south and
east, running thru Sokolow. Sidelce,
Lukow. Ostrow and Vladova.
The concentration Of Austrian-Ger
man forces in the direction of the
fortress of Brest-Litovsk ia proceeding
along three roads running to that
point from Mulkin and from Vladova.
The invaders are still between forty
and fifty miles from Brest-Ltovsk and
are meeting with strong opposition at
every step of their advance.
According to Russian military OBJ
servers in the near future the original
plan of retirement from the Vistula line
will be accomplished and that Bres-
Litoysk. tho not yet in the sphere Of
activity. will assume its function as
one end Of the Russian line. The opin-
ion Is expressed here that the advance
Of the Austrians and Germans will be
checked on this line.
Belated details of the recent naval
action at the gulf of Riga shows that
the Germans with nine ships of the line
and twelve cruisers were drawn up IN
formation.
The Russian defenders estimated
that the Germans opened fire with
one fifth of their strength. Meanwhile
Russian hydro-aeroplanes bombarded
the German feet. Two German torpedo
boats and cruiser were damaged by
striking mines.
The council Of ministers has ap-
proved the project for the utilization of
prisoners Of war and foreign laborers
for the manufacture Of war supplies.
Chinese, Koreans and Persians are to
be employed. The plan was approved
to open certain universities to women
In the medical, scientific and legal
branches.

Paris. Aug. IA plan for an attack
on the Suez canal Is said by the min
istry oe marine today to have been de-
tected and thwarted. The announce
ment was made as follows:
On Aug. ~. after warning had been
given to the governor Of Jaffa and time
given for the evacuation Of the vicin-
ity, French cruiser bombarded and
destroyed the principal buildings OF tho
shops OF the German Wagner. which
were making arms and ammuftitiona
and constructing boats destinated for
an attack on the Suez canal
Jaffa, In southern Palestine, Asiatic
Turkey, Is about $50 miles northeast
Of Port Said, at the Mediterranean end
of the Suez canal. In Jaffa is a large
foundry owned by Wagner brothers.
The French marine ministry's COM
munications leaves in doubt the nature
of the expedition said to have been
planned against the canal. It would be
obviously impossible to construct at
Jafra a naval force of sufficient
strength to cope with the warships Of
Great Britain and France in those wa
ters, and it might be inferred that
small vessels were being built for q
for the success Of the venture.
The Suez canal was attacked early
in the war by the Turks. In Febru-
ary there was some fighting near the
canal.
