Every days session of congress costs
the country about $4,000 in salaries
and expenses. Two-thirds of one days
session was recently spent in cutting
down West Point appropriations 81

days session effected a reduction OF
$500 in District of Columbia expenses.

our own, and there Is no good reason
why Mexico should not agree to the
closest possible commercial relations
between the two countries.

UPTON'S STEAMERS.
The Union Pacific Will Cancel
lis Oriental Contract.
Possibility That Upton Will Land His
Steamers at San Diego and Connect
With the Santa Fe Railroad.

One OF the most important developments
in railroad circles. besides the strike on the
Nisalia division, yesterday was the an
nonncement made that the Union Pacific
Railroad Company is about 10 cancel Its
contract with what Is known in the COM
mercial world as the Upton Steamship line,
plying between Japan and Portland. Or.
Ii was about two years ago. when Charles
+. Adams was still president Of the Union
Pacific road, that that corporation together
with the Central Pacific Company formed
a contract with Frank Upton of Kobe,
Japan, who owned three steamers, to carry
all the tea or other merchandise he could
land in Portland, Or, at reduced rates for
10 years, and ever since Upt0n's steamers,
which; in the language of shippers, are
termed tramp vessels" have brought much
freight from the Orient, which was duly
handled by the railroad companies men,

Informed parties that this will be the last
vessel OF that line which will make connec-

In view OF the fact that the Northern Pa

late established direct communications with
Japan by lines of steamers, 1t becomes an
important question TO local merchants what
Upton Will do when he finds himself shut
eh from the trade in the Northwest he has
enjoyed Tor the past two years.
WHAT UPTON NAY DO.
There is hardly any probability that he
can run his steamers into this port to ad-
vantage, because be would have only the
Southern Pacific TO deal with, and there is
no hope Tor any relief in the way of reduced
rates from that quarter.
II may just be possible that Mr.. Upton
will make deal with the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe people ana land bis
freight hereafter in San Diego. This would
give Southern California the direct connec-
tlon with China and Japan IL has clamored
for, but 1t would hardly be-of any benefit
