OCEAN MAILS.
Bids for Proposals for Improved Service to Be
Opened To-Day.

Opened To-Day.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Bds for Govern
ment proposals under the Ocean Mail Act
enacted by the last Congress. are to be
opened to-day by the Postmaster er-General.
SO far as can be learned all the American
lines in the Southern trade, with single
exception. will offer bids for an improved
service. Whether any lines have been
brought into existence by this legislation will
not be known until the bids are opened.
The most notable result of this legisla-
tiOn will probably be the establishment of
a regular steam service with Montevideo
and BuenOs Ayres under the American flag.
The New York ana Cuba line will not only
offer bids for the three routes already in
cluded in its service with the Bahamas, Cuba
and Mexico, but it will also respond to the
pr oposals for five 5000-ton steamers of the
second class, averaging sixteen knots, to
run between New Y OTk and Rio de la Plata,
stopping at Rio on the return voyage. If
these bids are accepted ut least four new
ships will be built, three of them superior in
tonnage and speed to any merchant ships
now under the American flag. n Amer
lean steamers are now seen south Of the
coffee ports of Brazil. The organization OF
the new branch of the service will restore
the mercantile prestige of the nation in these
waters and be very helpful to the export
trade. The Pacific Mail Company will have
to build six or seven new ships if it bids for
the routes, now covered by its service, as it
is un deTst0OG it will. There will 50 be IN
improvement in the Venezuelan service.

steamer Empress OF India, which sailed to-
day for Yokohama, Japan, and Hong-Kong,
was Ny Motegi, the Japanese Emissary
sent here 10 investigate the traffic IN Japan
ese women for immoral purposes. Motegi
said he had visited all the Coast cities and
some of those of the interior, and had Sc
cured evidence which he would lay before
his Government of so shocking a character
that he had no doubt steps would be at
once taken to positively prevent any more
of these women leaving Japan. There
are, lie says, over 5000 japanese women
of immoral character in America.
Many of them are able TO send home from
$500 to 500 every six months. and he be-
lievrs nearly all the money sent from the
United States to Japan is used to aid other
women 10 get out here. MOtegi will recon-
mend that the United States Government
be asked to put an embargo on japanese
women, as measures of prevention in Japan
have but little effect, the women being able

THE GUELPH FUND.

The Clericals Declare 1t Must Be Restored to
Its Proper Uses
BERLIN, Oct. 25.-The disposition of the
everlasting Guelph fund, primarily a PruS-
sian matter, is not announced with the per
rennal appropriation Of $4,000 marks "for
secret purposes" The reason why this
sum for secret service is SO small is that the
interest of the Guelph fund, now amounting
TO 100000 marks, is diverted from its
original purpose, and has betrayed
most Of the expenses OF the Gov
eminent espionage and similar enter
prises. On this issue the cericals.
both in the ReichsJag and the Lantag, have
determined to support each other by per
sistcnt opposition until the Guelph Fund he
restored to its proper uses. Similar parlia-
meutary agitation will be conducted in
favor OF the return of the Jesuit orders to
the empire, and Chancellor Won Caprivi is
said to have communicated to the Pope re-
Gently that the Government will offer no re-
sistance to this movement.
