The change in the schedule of the South American line and the addition of more vessels to the run is largely due to the enforced withdrawal of the Pacific Mail from Pacific waters on account of the Seaman's Act. The hauling of the American flag on the Pacific gives the Japanese lines practically a monopoly of the trans-Paciflo trade. OXEN TO AUTOS.
