The Ocean Mail Service.
New YoRK, August ..
Washington specials say there is a project.
to take the Wednesday, European mail SER
gice from the Williams & Guion line and give
it to the Cunard. The point is made that
the ships are too slow; SO slow that the let
ters leaving wednesday do not arrive in Eu-
rope any sooner than letters leaving Satur-
day, and the paradoxieal claim is made that
the letters sent soonest require most time for
transit. The Postmaster General is very
earnest in favor Of the present line. but he is
opposed by certain New York parties. He
CLAIMS that tie contract was awarded to this
line upon the Recommendation of the proper
Committees Of both houses Of Congress, and
that the predominating reasons for tire choice
We're that the majority. of the. stock OF the
lIae was owned by Americans, and that the
line came to the assistance of the GoverIl-
ment when all the other steamship Com
panies combined refused to carry the mails
without increased compensation. On the |
other side it is claimed th tnone of the stock
is now really owned by Americans, and the |
interest of commerce require quick transit
Of the nationality Of the flag. Ii. |
tile matter is not adjusted before the meeting
Of Congress, the contest for the European
mail servlce will be very lively during the
tracts are to be reIet, and the respectiVe
steamship lines are already organizing to Sc
cure the mails. Iii even intimated that the
Cunard line will carry the mail for nothing,
It being contented with the a vantage which /
hat advertisement gives them.
