THE ANGLocANAprAN MAIL SERVICE

London oct. 29-In Canadian circles in England
great disappointment is expressed the failure OF the
British Postofce authorities to make the
rangements for n fast mall service between the
Dominion and Great Britain The last sailing under
the present postal service between this country and
Canada took place to-day. and Canadians and all other
persons having business or other interests in British
America are looking forward to further postal an
noyances. The Canadians assert that their Govern
ment has done everything possible 20 induce English
capitalists the English Government to undertake to
furnish between Canada and England a postal service
equal TO the best similar service between NewYorS
and England. The sum Of $4,000 offered by
Canada a. subsidy to assist in maintaining fast mail
service between the Dominion and England. but even
that amount Of money does not seem to have been In
ducement enough for English capitalists to become
interested in an Anglo Canadian fast mail service.
