The Combination Between the Pacific
Mail Steamers and the Railroad q
Failure,
New YORK, April 17th.-To-day's
World has an apparently semi-official
article which says there is no arrange
ment between the Pacific Mail Com
pany and the railroads, probably be-
cause of the domineering disposition
of the railroads and their demand to
be made steamer agents, which would
enable them to discourage steamer
business. The article says: "The Pa
cific Mail Directors are given to un-
derstand that the Union and Central
roads have an organization at Wash
ington to undermine the efforts being
made to retain the China mail subsidy
to it's steamers. 1t is charged that the
Pacific Mail stock has been sold short
on account of members of the Con-
gressional Committee guaranteeing
them against loss, with the implied
condition that they will introduce
hostile resolutions and make unfavor-
able reports, tending to prejudice the
Pacific Mail interests. The Mail Com
pany profess little fear of the Central
Pacific's threats to put on an opposi-
ton to China unless the former accede
to their demand, as it takes a large
sum to build American ships and for
eign bottoms cannot give through
bills of lading to points east Of San
Francisco.

The Pacific Mail Subsidy.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Senate
Committee on Commerce to-day con-
sidered the joint resolution of the Leg
islature of California against any
grant of additional subsidy to the Pa
cific Mail Steamship Company and
agreed to report and recommend the
passage of bill declaring that said
Pacific Mail Steamship Company, by
their failure to comply with the con-
ditions upon which the additional sub
sidy Of $500, 900 per annum was granted
to commence last October, have for
feited their rights to the same, and are
entitled only to half million subsidy
per annum, previously granted, for
monthly mail service between San
Francisco and Japan. The bill will
simply declare matter Of law forfeit
ure, already recognized as fact.
