-"esvals by the Star Of the West, the Empire City
and the Pnladelpha-the steam feet of the old
United States Mail Steamship Company. These
vessels are partly owned and controlled by Mr.
Msrshall o, Roberts, who now sends them to the
Pacific. What he is going TO do with them there
he declines 10 state. He declines 10 say whether
they are TO run on the coast OF South or North
America, whether they will hereafter be heard Of
at San Francisco, Panama and San Juan del
Sur. He is not prepared 10 let the public know,
either who are the parties who support him in this
undertaking. He cannot say how many or what
ships are going 10 the Pacific. In fact, for all
practical purposes this steamship matter, Mr.
Marshall o. Roberts is a thorough Know Nothing
The most important points in the mystery
are the name or names Of the parties who
support Mr.. Roberts, and the route on which
the new ships ar. 10 be placed. With regard 70
these points tn street IL full OF rumors One story
q that Roberts. having been thrown overheard by
Vanderbilt. il about to punish his enemy by fighting
the Comm dore and the Pacific Mail together;
which is giving Mr. Roberts credit for good deal
more pluck than wisdom. Another rumor is that
Vanderbilt is really at the bottom of the present
move, and intends to break with the Pacific Mail
Company This l. not very easily reconciled with
the facts that the Commodore ia the heaviest stock
holder in the Pacific Company, has not sold share
of his stock has no quarrel with them and is noto-
.~n ,ba bird
story asserts that the Tehnantepec route is to be
opened, and that Marshall o. Roberts ships are
for the Pacific service; but If the Tehuantepec
route could not be kept open when It's owners had
mail subventisn of $3.50 900 year, how can il be
profitably worked without any mail money
at all? The names Of George Law, Moses
Taylor Morgan and Garrison have been mentioned
in connection with the new line. The two last
named deny, we believe, that they have anything
TO do with it; Mr.. Law, too, probably knows too
much 10 embark in that line Of business. Il is GER
| tain however that some men OF weight are con-
cerned with Mr.. Roberts; il must cost 900 to
| send each ship from New York to San Fran
| cisco.
| The truth will probably turn ont TO be that the
owners Of these ships, finding them earning no
money here, have determined to send them 70 the
Pacific on speculation, to be used either in connec
ton with or in opposition to the Pacific Mail, and
any other company, as may be found most pro-
6tablc.
