May ??. jr- With 1500 tons of freight and 100 Chinese passengers, the first one of the invasion steamers of the China Commercial Com pany, the Atholl, sailed for Hong Kong and way ports and Ja.pan yesterday. She Is the first one of the stenmers running between here and the Orient to carry freight at the new reduced rate. She took , freight at $1.00 per ton. This conjpany went the Pacific Mall Company one better by reducing the rate for carrying steerage passengers to 115 per head, which Is a little less than one third the price charged by regular stesmshlp linen. The reduction of the steerage rate enme as a thunderbolt to t he Pacific Mall Company, because the carrying of steerage passengers had been their main standby for a num ber of1 years, and little they expected that the China Commercial' : Company would cut the steerage rate. This action has considerable effect upon the fight now on. because for the price charged for freight and the steerage rate com bined will only amount to $3,000. It Is safe to say that the steamship compan ies cannot stand such pressure for any length of time. It takes from 17 to 20 days to mnke the passage from the Pa cific ('oast to the Orient, and when the cost of conl, tho feeding of passengers mid the salaries of crews is taken into consideration, together wllh the many other expenditures. $3,000 will not come any where-near making both ends meet. The outlook at the present time points to a bitter fight. Susponded for Sixty Days. For unskillful navigation Captain Reed of the steamer Kuth has had his license as, a master and pilot suspended for CO days. After n thorough Investi gation the local I'nlted States inspec tors of boilers and hulls, Holies and Lhe Nort Bulger, submitted their report tu Su-, filed 4n ' per isliig Iiispp("tor Itermingham and the order for suspension was issued. They claim that it was gross careless- , ness on Captain Heed's part to fun th' Ruth onto n submerged rock off the j mouth of the Cotiullle river on May J i 1. Captain Heed was on the bridge, and. i in full charge at the time of the uccl I dent, the weather was clear and a light 1 j wind was blowing. He was entirely oft : lils course, and Instead of taking the navigable channel he started to find one ; of his own and tried to pass between , two large rocks, which "naturally were surrounded by many submerged rocks.
