NEW STEAMSHIP LINE FROM 

 JAPAN. 

 Vice-Consul Walter Gassett, of Kobe, 

 reports that the Asaka Shosen Kaisha. 

 the second largest steamship company 

 in Japan, which has hitherto devoted 

 its attention to the local coasting trade 

 and to that of neighboring oriental 

 countries, has now completed arrange- 

 ments to start a line to the United 

 States, viz., a semi-monthly service, 

 with six vessels, with Tacoma and 

 Seattle as starting points and Hong 

 Kong as the terminus. An agreement 

 to this effect has been signed with the 

 Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul 

 Railway Company, and the service 

 may consequently be opened at the be- 

 ginning of August, 1909. The six ves- 

 sels are now being built, three at 

 Kobe and three at Nagasaki.
