The Delayed Newspaper Mails.
NEW YORK, May 23d.-Posunaster Pear
son was seen this morning by reporter re-
garding the complaints of delay in nawspa-
per mails to San Francisco. He said; The
service from the East to the West is, of
course, the most important in the country.
Our efforts are and have been constantly
directed TO its improvement. The evening
papers leave here on the 500 P. " fast mail
train over the New York Central road
Within the past two months the connec-
tons 10 the West have been shortened so
they reach Chicago at 1855 the following
night, a special fast train carries them on
to Omaha, and the $50 mail CARRYING the
morning papers, which left several hours
before, is overtaken at Ogden [. 7. From
this point out there is only one mail train
daily. Under the recent arrangements the
evening papers leave Ogden on the same
day they arrive. This gets them TO San
Francisco in the same mali with the morn
ing papers OF the same date. The service
from the Pacific coast East has not been
changed in some time. Successive Post
masters have tried to shorten this branch
Of the service, but their efforts have been
baked b. inadequate appropriations for the
purpose. The only way ! see how to i'm
prove the time from the West to the East
would be to induce some one of the Pacific
railroads to giTe Us Il double day service to
Ogden, where Jhey now run only one mail
train daily The transit time from San
Francisco here is five days, ten hours and
a half" Postmaster Pearson did not ex-
plain how il happened that late afternoon
editions Of San Francisco papers are still
here eight days after their publ
cation.

upon the necessaries OF life, and the tools
