The Gould Steamship Combination
sharp Practice.
NEW YORK. March 25.
A special to the Graphic from Wash
ingtOn says there are many startling
reports here concerning the designs OF
| Jay Gould and his associates As to their
new railroad and steamship schemes.
1t will be remembered that according
to the terms of the contract between
the United States and the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company, the former had
the right to seize the company's steam-
ers and turn them into war vessels.
The breaking of the contract by the
Government releases the company
from this liability, and it is now limited
| that the steamers of the Pacific Mail
Companv's service that are no en-
| ployed between the Isthmus and New
York, and San Francisco, are to be
leased to a British company, and will
carry a British flag. This would be
done in order to permit the company
to charge what it pleases for mail and
other services between California and
Japanese and Chinese ports. The rates
proposed will produce an income far
greater than the amount of subsidy
that is now withdrawn. One part OF
the programme is to sell the Picking
and Toxic To the Chinese Government,
which would give that Empire a great
advantage over Japan. These ships
would make tirst-class war vessels
the fastest afioat. 1t is also said that it
is part of the plan of the Gould com
bination to get possession OF the Pam
anna Railroad. For this purpose the
stock will he depressed by sending for
a time all the freight possible overland
direct, by way of the Union Pacific,
| and then when Panama stock Is suth
GENTLY tumbled it will he taken in out
of the cold.
