But the | thern Pacific people, kaowing that he would discuss the enierprise with other | transcontinental companies, and not wishing to give him levers to use on | y told him, in effect, that 0 have his line come to San | and that when he was ready to isco they would talk | » him in @ satisfactory way. oad company the Southern Pa- | were naturally anxions to se- | ditional transcontinental busi- anew line of steamers to the | | advance in the new en mean much to the maritime commerce of | [M e Intentions. COLLISP. HUNTINGTON Welcomes the New Japanese Steamer Line and Declares His Kind Orient would bring this way. On the other hand the railroad people are the ncipal owners of the two trans-Pacific steamer lines, whose business it was th. to rs rotect and the possession of Which the Southern Pacific long hauis on tan amount of teas, silks, etc That is the situation of the raiiroad peo- ple, as a great new subsidized steamship line comes to the front ambitiously and ers their transportation field. They ze that as far as the steamship busi ress is concerned peace is better than war | anyway when the enemy would be a com- pany of larze capital, big subsidies and cheap operation and that the rail would get the business on land, however it was divided on the water, while the ad- ditional business the new company might wrest from_other rivals would feed the railroad coffers. o it was that the rulers of the steam- ship companies and the railroad gave Mr. Asano's line a kindly welcome yesterday | and bade him be cheerful and kind bim- | self. The new line will not have its steamers ready until a year from May 1, so that the understanding reached yesterday was only a preliminary and general one, buti: | was nevertheless a definite and important rorise which will Asano statel what was first stated yin THE CALL of Thursday—that rancisco had been finally and defin- itely determined upon asthe American terminus of the line. He was assured throu Kobayashi, that the railroad compan was interested in having this City made the termirus, and he was told that as to traffic arrangements the Southern Pacific would extend the those enjoyed by the Pacific Muil and the riental. The basis of the working relations be- tween thess steamship companies and the railroad was outlined and assurance was given that the new line would be placed on an equality with them,and not dis- criminated against. road | h his secretary and interpreter, Mr. | same advantages as | The further understanding was reached that the new line should effect some ami- cable arrangement with the old companies by which sailings should alternate and the peace of rates and business be preserved. With this general understanding the de- tails will be worked out in due time. Mr. Asano has given very thorough study to the possibilities of business for the new line, as we!l as to the compara- tive advantages of Pacific Coast ports for terminal purposes, and the decision for the future which now appears is the re- sult. The three new 6000-ton steamers which Mr. Asano recently contracted for in England will be of about the size and capacity of the China, be handsomely titted and will have a speed of seventeen knots. The service will be well calculated to invite patronage. The line will have other advantages, however, on which its success will be mainly caiculated. “No American or English steamship company can keep to the ocean in compe- tition with it,” is what Captain W. L. Merry, secretary of the Chamber of Com- merce. said yesterday about it. TRat hiberal subsidy offersd by the Jap- anese Government thing to look at. Captain Merry has well informed Limself about the Japanese sub- | sidy Jaw, and he recenily compiled a statement which Senator White used on the floor of Congress. Mr. Merry has cal- culated the subsidy which the new line will roceive as follows: On each 5000-ton foreign-built steamer | with an average speed of fifteen knots, there will be a tonnage payment of $1250 | ver 1000 miles. The round trip between okohama and San Francisco 1s about 9000 miles, giving a tonnage premium per | trip of § . A extra premium of 10 | per cent on each 500 tons over 1000 tons | yields §9000. A speed premium of 20 per cent additional for each knot over ten knots adds $11,250, making $31,500. An | ambiguous pasage in the law seems to allow an additional speed premium,which | would make the total subsidy per trip for the fostering of | O Japan’s maritime sreatness is the chief | | | | S $40,500. At eight round trips per year the annual subsidy would be $324,000. This subsidy appears to be smaller thau | will be earned by the line, as the steamers | are announced to have more tonnage and speed than Captain Merry has assumed. This advantage is something for ocean carriers of other flags than that of the rising sun to gravely consider. The Japa- nese line will have a further advantage of cheaper wages and cheaper supplies, The Toyo Kisen Kabushiki is greedily waiching the Suez business between New York, Eurove and the Orient, and that is one of its fields of conque: The silks and the teas which are diverted from the Suez route thitherward will give that much more to the through commerce of this port. In this carrying trade the Southern Pacific, with its Sunset route, and the Morgan line of steamships from New Orleans to New York can offer a more advantageous connection than can its rivals. “Mr. Asano! has had two conferences with President Cralg and myself,” says | Captain Merry, “‘but all we know is that | San Francisco will be the termiaus of the new line and that he will be ready for eration in about a year. We have toid Mr. Asano that the Chamber of Com- merce would do all it could to secure the company proper wharf facilities, and no | other aid has been usked of The | operation of this new line must add to the | mar:time commerce of this port by its| ability to bring more business this way. | It will undoubtedly tend to establish | closer commercial relations between San Francisco and Japan and steaduly increase our business there.” President Huntington expressed regret that in the course of the interview he had granted on Friday some of his expres- sions should have been, as he claims, in- advertently misunderstood. He expiained this yesterday by stating that he had not meant to be understood as flinging de- fiance atany of his associates in the 8 ern Pacific Company, but simply as ing that he was confident of being re- elected president of the corporation. PLUNGEDTO HIS DEATH Frightful Suicide of An- drew Bohn on How- | ard Street. 111 health, no work, no home and gen- eral despondency merging into suicidal mania were the direct and remote causes of Bohun’s frightful death. For the past ears the man has been em- ved by J.

Bridegrooms Must Pay Seventy-Five | Doilars for a Wife, if They {2 Can Aff rd It. A rumor has been current in Chinatown for some time to the effect that the Pres- bylerian Chinese Mission, over which | Miss Culbertson presides, is supported by dowries given by Chinamen who marry female inmates of the institution. A Chinese woman ordinarily costs all | the way from $700 to several thousand | aoliars, in proportion to her beaaty and | her accomplishments, waich fact is cited by those who are spreading the rumor as tending to prove that the Presbyterian | Mission is a cheapener of rates in the | slave market. | The rumor says that when a Chinaman | desires to marry and finds the price too | high in the open market he goes to the | Presbyterian mission, where “‘he caichee gal wilee'’ for a money consideration paid | o Miss Culvertson. That lady was interviewed by a CALL reporter last night. She is confined to her | room by sickness and was very much sur- | prised to hear of the rumor. She ex- | piained the matter by saying that a | Chinaman who marries a girl in the mis- | sion is expected to pay a vear’s board for her, which amounts to $75. This sum is exacted from those oniy who are able to pay, and is the maximum sum required of any one, no matter how many years the woman may have been an inmate of the home. P Allthe expenses of the home, inéluding | board, washing, repairs, etc., am-unt to only $100, exciusive of salaries. The total | cost, inciuding salarios, is $195 a month. This money is supplied by the Foreign Board of Missions, whose headquarters are mn New York City, and to whom Miss Cul- bertson sends all the receipts of the home, inclnding the $75 marriage fee and all other donations or earnings. Kvery year the ladies in charge of the several missions are called upon by the board to make a statement of the total amount of money | they wish to use during the coming year, and if there is suflicient money in the fund the board aliows it; otherwise only as much as can be spared is sent, and then the greatest economy is observed. Miss Culbertson added that rarely as many as twelve marriages take place du ing the year of girls in the home, and the grooms in all cases do not pay the $75, so that the receipts from that source are not considerable. “Some comment has been made,” saia Miss Oulbertson, ‘“on the fact that we ablished no home for bogs. The | subject of a boys’ home has been dis cussed several times, but we found that- we could not_afford to open such & home, and in fact there is no necessity for it. “Itshould be remembered that Chinese boys are weil cared for by their parents, and are not treated as inferiors, as are the | girls. Neither ore they gidnaped or sold into slavery. This home, of course, would not be a suitable place for boys.” | There are thirty-six Chinese women and girls now in the home, and among them are five six years old or under. The rest | range from10 to 15 years of age, and the | women from 20 to 22 years. ADVANCES made on furniture and planos, with orwithout removal. J. Noonan, 1017-1023 Mission- P ——— Fink Dropped Dead.

As a Forlorn Hope the Creditors Are Searching for Property. A Story That Morgan Was Domiciled at a Local Sanitarium Proves a Canard. Should E. M. Morgan, the attorney who recently disappeared mysteriously from town, elect to return he will find himself confronted with something more serious than a horde of angry and deceived creditors, The case of Morgan took a mew turn yesterday, when a warrant, sworn to by Mrs. E, Shaw of 118 Ellis street, and charging the missing counselor with felony embezzlement, was issued froff tne Police Court for that individual's arrest. The State Prison, therefore, is a possi- bility for the man who for many months was to all appearances enjoying as good a practice as any attorney in the City. Like most of those who are now bewail- ing the exit of Morgan, Mrs. Shaw also intrusted her collections to him. Her loss is only $150, but she believes that this is not too 1nsignificant to warrant punish- ment fcr its taking end hesitated not to call for Morgan’s arrest. It is understood that numerous other warrants will be forthcoming Monday. There seems now to be little prospect that Morgan will be found right away, for the impression seems to be that he has by this time put one of the border lines of the State between himself and bis pursuers., There was a story extant yes- terday to the effect that Morgan had not left the State at all, but on tne contrary had been taken quite ill and was domicilad in a well-known sanitarium. True enough a Mr. Morgan was found at this place, but it was not the much-wanted Lawyer Morgan. The story of Mrs. Curtiss probably car- ries with it the foremost element of mis- placed confidence, in connection with Mrs Curtiss was one of his clients. He secured a di- vorce for her some time ago, and with the decree went an allowance of $1000 as ali- mony. The !atter amount Morgan is said to have withheld from the lady npon the pretext that he would invest it for her. She recently asked him for an accounting, and she says he confessed that he had used the money. He promised to make the amount good, however, but when she callea again be had aiready taken flight. The books and papers which Morgan removed from his office to his home just before taking his departure are now in the hands of his creditors. Their only hope is that these may disciose the fact that he owns some property—but they acknowledge that even this is a decidedly foriorn hope. 8o far as can be learned at present Morgzan’a shortage will amount to between $6000 and $7000. Dr. Mattuer says Morgan owes him $1500, and Edward Wingate, a Nevadan, hewails the loss of $1200 more. With the exception of Mrs. Curtiss’ claim 1t is said by thosé who claim to have some idea as to Morvan's business that all of the other unpaid bills will range from $10 to $400 each. Most of these are bills that were put into Morgan’s hands for coilection and are sapposed to have been collected, but not accounted for. Commencement Exercises.
