OCEAN MAIL SERVICE.

Three of the Rontes Awarded to the
Pacific Steamship Company.
The bids for ocean mail service under the
new postal subsidies were opened at Wash
iGgton day or two ago, and dispatches re-
ceived by the officers of the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company at this port are to the
effect that the company has been awarded
the contract for carrying the mails Oh three
of the routes named, viz: From New York
to Aspinwall, from San Francisco to Pana-
ma ami the Mexican ports, aud from San
Francisco to japanese and Chinese ports.
These contracts are Tor a period OF ten
years from date of acceptance.
In order to comply with the terms of the
contracts the company will have te build at
least four new steamers for the route to
Japan and China, and will also increase the
number Of its feet on the San Francisco and
Panama route. OF the cOmpanys steamers
now running to China ami Japan the China
alone possesses all the requirements in re-
gard to size and speed to place her in what
will be known as the second class, which
the contract calls for on this route two
years from. date OF contract, and this vessel
cannot be used q; she was built in England
and flies the English flag.
All the steamers now on the China route
will have to be placed on the Panama route
and a new fleet built for the China trade.
The chances are that one or more of these
vessels will be built in this city as the facll-
tiles for doing so are fully as good as they
are in the East. This new fleet will be very
similar to the Canadian Pacific steamers
Empress of Iuda and Empress OF Japan.
The cnmpany's agents say that the S12 900
trip gained by the frst-cass steamers on
the China route will be less than One-half
that paid to the Canadian steamers. while
the expenses will be greatly increased, as IL
will require from 1900 TO 1900 tons of coal
