THE POSTAL COMMISSION.
Railway NisRnntes Complaining Of the Price
Fixed Tor Carrying tho Mails.

BosToN, Dec. 2s.-Tho United states Postal
W. u. Bishop, President Of the New York, Hart
ford and New Hayon Railroad Company,
thought the railroads were entitled to as much
for carrying the mails as for express matter, &C.
cording to tho space occupied. His company
had declined to carry the mails over the New
Rochelle road ut compensation liked bv law,
and continued to carry the mails for nothing
rather than accept the compensation offered.
The total receipts from mail TRANSFORMATION on
the main line were s13.2O. or 10 mills per neal
foot per mile. Ihe total receipts fIom passen-
rer, baggage and express cars wore f3.O5I 300, or
1923 mills per lineal foot per mile. The Govern
ment has no legal right to carry Its mails ON any
trains II may elect. He would be willing to carry
the mails for such compensatlDn as the Govern
ment might oner provided they could have the
right TO appeal to AN unnretudtced tribunal.
Chester W. Chaplin, President of the boston
and ALBANY Railroad COMPANY, testified that the
compens ition which his company hnd received
for carrying the mails was not satisfactory, in
asmuch as 1t did not pay expenses over leo
miles OF the road. They run eight postal cars,
he said. for which they receive $500 mile per
annum, less ten per cent. Hts company had

had been complaints that the accommodations
The Chairman Of the commission declared
that the cars were not ad opted for the business,
and also that II the road pretended to furnish

Daniel l.. Harris. President Of the Connecticut
River Railway, said That they were entitled to

scented showed that the part OF the train de-
voted 10 mails earned six mills per mile, while
