American Nails In Anne rican Bottoms.

| WASHINGTON, July lo.-1n6 formal no
tice of the postoffice department inviting
proposals for ocean mail lettings was is
sued to-day. 1t cites the act of March 8,
1891, and is unusually explicit, because the
act of Congress requires the advertising of
the route which must be set forth in full
and all details Of time. trips, etc.
| Proposals are invited from steamship
companies for carrying American mails to
foreign countries in vessels of American
speed in their respective classes, over
routes infinitely described. The adver-
tisenent is the product of three months of
| conference at the department.
In the fiscal year ended June 30 1890
| Just 60 cents was earned by American
ships in carrying United States mails TO
Europe. During the same period there
was paid to foreign ships a, 397, 66S for
conveying mails from the United States TO
Europe. The postmaster-g general seeks by
this advertisement to change this unfayor-
able showing by putting frst-class rapid
weekly service on two trans Atlantic routes,
one to Great Britain direct
and the other to a continental port. He
seeks also by similar means to expediate
and make more frequent and reliable mails
to Central and South American ports and
TO Australia and Asia. The details of the
arrangements appear in the advertise
ment. Compendiously stated, the Amer
lean ports from which the service is
proposed to start are Boston, New York,
I Philadelphia, Baltimore, Newport News,
Norfolk, Port Tampa with service from
Mobile) New Orleans, Galveston, San
Francisco, Seattle and Tacoma Abso-
lutely new service for American ships is in
vited for trans Atlantic lines from New
York Bastop and Baltimore q line to

from Philadelphia A line from Port
Tampa to Venezuela and the east coast to
| South America A line to the same ports
Is projected from New Orleans and Gal
weston. and new lines from New Orleans
to Aspenwa all, calling at ports on the north
coast of Central America and ports on the
Spanish main. A new line on the Pacific
coast from San Francisco to Chill and 70
! the west coast of South America is pro-
posed. and a new line from Seattle aud
| Tacoma to China and Japan; also new line
from San Francisco to Melbourne.
Provision has been made to secure
quicker service, reducing the time by one
! fourth to Panama and as much as six DAYS
between Panama and San Francisco. The
service between New York and Brazil is to
be reduced to nineteen days instead of
twenty five and upwards as now. This new
service, in connection with the enlarge
ment of the old, will require the build
ing Of q number Of ships with an ag-
| gregate tonnage OF 10000 tons. and ut
| probable cost from twenty-seven to thirty
millions Of dollars. 1t is hoped the other
lines projected will invite still further in

Chicago Comment on the Meeting.

CHICAGO, July 15.-The fact that nothing
was accomplished at the meeting Of the
advisory board of the Western Traffic asso-
citation in New York, causes no surprise in
railroad circles here. The presidents
agreement is still looked upon as a make
shift to tide over a crisis in railroad affairs,
and now that the crisis is supposed to be
past, it is believed the organization will be
permitted gradually to sink out Of sight. II
is said the disposition made oy Jay Gould
of his pet scheme for the establishment
Of joint agency was premeditated, and no
doubt the secret of the opposition is dis
trust of everything propounded by Gould.
The recent rate cutting performances of
the Missouri Pacific apparently convinced
other roads that Gould is looking after his
own interest extensively. Another reason
given by many railroad men for predicting
the early downfall of the assoc iation is the
failure of the effort to bring the Alton,
Kansas City and other important roads
into the combine.

Exploration of saltou lake.

SAN Francisco, July 1.-THE Examiner
has lengthy communication from its cor
respondent at Salton, who made trip by
boat over the flooded district Six miles
from Hanlon's the party left the Colorado
river and turned northwest into a wide
slough. After proceeding twenty five
miles they ran into a lagnna Of the Colorado
river. and this was the first place where
they saw water leaving the river on its
way to the desert II seemed to be break
ing out in many places, and the CORE
spondent expresses the opinion that the
river will probably eventually change its
channel and throw great volume OF water
into the desert. Further down another
stream came in from the lake, and a few
miles down still another, supposed to be
carried to creek, while the water seemed
to be falling. There is great volume
which must apparently come in from var
ious lakes along the route. and the CORE
spondent believes the channel ia perma-
nently cut, and that the desert will always
contain water except in the lowest stages
Of the Colorado river.

Western Traffic Association Advisory Boar

Western Traffic Association Advisory Board
New YORK, July 15.-At to-day's meet
ing Of the advisory board of the Western
Traffic association, number Of members
of the association absented themselves
Jay Gould and his right bower, Sidney
Dillon, were among the missing. The fact
is things went wrong with Gould at yes
terday's meeting, and ne left the hotel last
night greatly disappointed man. Inc
postponement of the joint agency plan, the
adoption of which was earnestly advocated
by Gould, Dillon and Clark was unex-
pected, and the subsequent decision regard
ing the appeal of the Missouri Pacific on
the Hutchinson salt traffic was virtually a
defeat for the Gould interest. MIR. Gould
is said u be in a delicate state OF health,
and it is said he has left the city. The ad-
visory board held but one session today,
and adjourned early in the afternoon until
October, when the next meeting will be
held in Chicago. The question OF traffic on
Indiana. Illinois and Iowa lines from the
Missouri river was referred TO the full
board of commissioners to arrange the
matter IN accordance with the rules or the
association. The board adopted resolu-
ton 10 the effect that certain export grain
traffic from Kansas and Superior, Ne
braska, by way of the Atchison, Topeka "
Santa Fe railroad TO Galveston, was sub
ject to the association agreement.

for the upper southern coast and Port
Tampa (starting at Mobile, New Orleans,
