In the same session of Congress a bill was introduced, authorizing an annual subsidy of five hundred thousand dollars for an ocean mail-steamship service to Japan and China via Hawaii. This also received favorable consideration, and was passed February 17, 1865. The service was to be monthly, performed by American-built ships of not less than 3000 tons, also constructed under naval inspection.
The committee's measures were ably advocated, but they finally went down in defeat. In 1872 the Pacific Mail Steamship Company came forward with an offer to add another monthly mail-steamship service to Japan and China, for an additional subsidy of a half million dollars a year.
