New steamship lines link Vladivostock as a terminal with American and British routes. An American Japanese line will end at San Diego with connections to the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and call at Honolulu. The English Canadian line sails from Vancouver and Victoria with Hakodadi and Vladivostock service. The North German Lloyd option wavers between San Francisco and Los Angeles.
