Pacific Mail and Union Pacific.
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The World says:
A large shareholder and prominent direc-
tor of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com.
psny said yesterday, after consultation
with lawyer of the company, that it had
been decided that there does not exist any
binding contract with the Union Pacific
railroad. The reason assigned is that the
form of agreement which was drawn up
by which it was intended to establish pro
rata rates and limit the number of steamers
to be dispatched by the steamship compa-
ny was never legally ratified and sealed.
Henry Hart said the company had not re-
ceived any notification Of advance in
freights made by the Union Pacific rail-
road. He also contended that the COM
pany ought not to be compelled to con-
form to the increased schedule for that
reason. A circular, he said, had been is
sued to merchants and shippers saying that
freight would be taken at the old ruling
rate o: IS per 100 pounds. There has
been nearly sufficient amount of engage.
ments already made on that basis for the
next steamer to give her full cargo. It
was also the intention of the company,
Hart said. to grant favorable concessions
to large shippers. If contracts were made
for large shipments; or II merchants were
willing to engage to ship all their goods
by the North Pacific steamship line prompt
connection with the Panama railroad
would be guaranteed and reduced rates
would be made. Hart also added that
when connection between the company
and railroad is formally severed on the LIST
Of September the Pacific Mail Steamship
Co. will be run ON an independent basis
and entirely in the interests of eastern
merchants.
Another Dishonest Indian Agent.
NEW YORK, Aug 6.-Specials have the
following from Bismark, Dakotah Terrific
ry, of date Aug. 9Th: Indian Inspector
Hammbnd has completed his Standing
Rock Indian agency investigation, and
another, Hughes, Of Chicago, has come to
grief. He was permitted to resign.
Hughes is the agent that the Indians want.
ed to drown days ago. Hughes is the
fifth that has succumbed to Hammond
since he was made inspector last winter.
Every agency inspection has resulted in
somebody's decspitation. Tho so-called
Columbia river pirates fear the worst.
