of Cleyeland's yociferous admirers Re
Gently the latter told him quietly that he
should give the position in the San Fran
cisco Custom House, for which NOLAN was
an applicant, to business man. NOLAN
grew red in the face, and managed to say
that the President did not stop to inquire
! whether he was business man or not when
! he asked him to stump New York State.
Cleveland advised him to go back to San
Francisco and use his influence with the
| Collector there, who Nigh possibly find
| something for him to do. NOLAN is still
| here. His opinion of Cleveland has under
gone radical change.
| \ California Stage Driver in New York.
| New YORK. July 16th.-Frank McGan,
| for twenty years Il stage driver in Marin
county, California, arrived here a day or
| two since He secured a berth on the
| Celtic, became intoxicated yesterday, and
was found this morning in cellar, whence
| q policeman marched him to the station,
| where, ON being searched, a wallet was
found containing over 5000. He was
fined $40, and missed the steamer, which
sailed to-day.
Mail Steamships and the Postmaster
General.
CHICAGO. July 16th.-The Times Wash
| ington special says: The Pacific Mail
Steamship Company is trying to form Il
| combination of American steamship lines
| to coerce the PostmaSter-Ge General to divide
| the 800 900 among them. The Postmaster
| General lately received a letter signed by
representatives Of six steamship compa-
MES, asking him what he was going to do
about paying for ocean mail service after
| August, and also asking him TO let them
| know by July 14th, 50 that they could give
the necessary notification to the public that
/ they were to cease carrying the mails after
| August LIST. The Postmaster-Generalre replied
! that, while the six companies were seeking
! 10 have 100000 divided Tatable among
| them. there was an obvious reason why
| they should act III concert, but 1t has been
decided that the service rendered by each
| of the several companies was very differ
| ent. and consequently he should deal with
each one individually. As to the notiliCa-
| ton TO the public which they mentioned.
| it was not necessary to give themselves
trouble. The responsibility OF carrying the
mails rested with the department, and the
department would see that the mails were
carried. He Will ship the mails by foreign
steamers rather than be dictated TO by
combination Of steamship lines. There is
no probability, however that any such
extreme measure VIII be necessary.
The Postmaster General is ready to
negotiate with any individual steam
ship company and give it the best terms
compatible with the public interests. lie
is perfectly ready to pay some OF the COM
panics more than they are getting now, but
Will not deal with them collectively. The
postage IS now paid 10 the American
line to Liverpool and to the Pacific Mail
for its Australian service and the Brazil
line gets six cents a letter which is more
than the whole rate of postage, but it gets
nothing for carrying papers. If it would
negotiate individually with the Postmaster
General it could probably get pay for car
rying papers, and if the letter rate was
reduced 10 five cents the company would
get more than it now receives. The law
requires the Postmaster General, if he uses
| the 100000, to advertise FOR proposals and
| give the contracts TO the lowest BIDDERS,
| but on many routes the American line Is
| the only one, 50 that no competition would
be possible where there are less than two
| lines. The steamship men wanted the
Postmaster-General to invite proposals in
such q way as to prevent even the smallest
competition. Two American lines run be
tween New y ork and Hayana-One leaving
Thursday and one Saturday Steamship
men wanted the POstmaster-General to
call for bids for the one sailing Thursday
and the one Saturday. By a similar ar
rangement they wanted to prevent cOmpe-
tition between the Pacific Mail and 0cci-
| dental lines from san Francisco. The
| Postmaster General declines - be party
to any such arrangement.
EFFECT or THE STEAMSHIPS WITHDRAWAL.
| New YORK, July 1Gth.-The MaH and
| EcprcsS says: The Withdrawal OF the Pacific
| Mail steamships from the Australian line is
likely to cause trouble. The correspond
| ence between this city and the Australian
| colonies is very large. Assistant Postmaster
| Gaylor said The mail for Australia is
made up every night, and comprises about
| 5000 letters, aggregating 10000 to 10000
| letters for each steamship from San Fran
cisco. Then there is a large newspaper
mail Fully two-thirds of the letters are
from this city, and the remaining third
from the surrounding district. Nothing
! from Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington or other cities having direct
! communication with San Francisco goes in
our mail. Letters from New York by way
Of England Will cost more than by the Pa
cifc Mail. / do not know that correspond
ence from this city would be much delayed
| II would be more expensive.
