1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance of
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or.
iginating IN New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
ritories, we would solicit routing
through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,

This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor
gan Line steamers and Sunset route,
rs same does not pass through New

The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
