The Frisco Service.

Perceval is in communication with
the Post Office. He represents that it
is grossly unfair for the Imperial Gov

of the San Francisco mail service on

postage rates by that route were re-
duced from Cd. per J OF. to 24d on the
initiative of the Imperial Govern
l.
that the SueZ mail is a week longer ia
transmission.
The Oceanic Subsidy
AUCKLAND, September S.-A cable
gram received here, states that there
Is some concern in Victoria and New
South Wales regarding the San Fran
cisco mail service; probably, therefore,
action will be taken in those colonies
to prevent its collapse.
Mr.. ]. Mills, NJ. III. r., has received
a cable stating that the prospect of the
cessation of the San Francisco mail
service has caused some excitement in
Victoria and New South Wales, and
that possibly the contributing colonies
will make good the deficit on the
English subsidy rather than lose the
service altogether.
Sir George Dibbs, in an interview,
stated that he had not been approached
by any American public men on the
subject of the San Francisco mail ser
vice, and he does not think there is
much likelihood OF Congress granting
a subsidy. He says the Canadian Pa
cific Railway Company are very
strongly in favor of having a line OF
6,OO0-ton steamers between Vancouver
ana anu he Is u
think something will come of it liz
preference to believing the American
Government will vote any money to
subsidise the San Francisco service.
As far as the Australian colonies are
concerned he says they will be nc
party to any negotiations until the
American Government are prepared
to contribute a fair proportion. The
Canadian colonies, he thinks, are
strong enough to subsidise largely 6
line of railway and steamers, and the
English Government, he believes, viii
be disposed to subsidise q line that
would 90 through British territory il
Canada. There is strong desire be-
tween England and Canada for a mucf
closer union and he thinks the Aus
tralian colonies would be inclined t.
favor the same proposal.
