WANT 4 STEAMER
New Zealanders Want a
Hand IN tn : Deal.
a Matter That Affects tn New
Oceanic Mall Line Arrange
mane Brought Up.

WELLINGTON, y. T., Oct. Is
There is a general idea here that the
Oceanic Steamship Company of San
Francisco is endeavoring to disconnect
the Union Steamship Company of New
Zealand from the San Francisco mail
service, and warm controversy is in
prospect. New Zealanders are very
favorably disposed toward Americans
but the threat is made that any at
tempt in the direction indicated will
lead to the re-esta blishment of the
Vancouver line and the consequent di-
version of the Australian traffic from
San Francisco.
The Oceanic Steamship Company has
an agent here in the person of Mr..
WithetOrd Of Auckland, who recently
returned from England via America
and Messrs. Spreckels and Mr. Withe-
ford are in close communication by
cable, and the latter is also in touch
with the United States Government in
connection with the matter. Evident
~ the Oceanic Steamship Company in
tends a big scoop in connection with
lie Hanna-Payne Shipping bill, but
New Zealanders want, at all events, a
third interest in their own mail SER
vice.
During the closing hours OF the New
Zealand Parliament the other day, the
following resolution regarding an i'm
proved service was agreed to:
That this House authorizes the Gov
eminent to extend the San Francisco
mail service for twelve months from
the LIST day of April. 1900, on the pres
ent terms and conditions, as set out
in the contract agreements dated the
18th day Of April, 1899, and the Goth
day of July, 1899, and published in
Parliamentary Paper F.-6, 1899, page
%; that this House also empowers the
Government to enter into negotiations
for a sixteen and for a seventeen day s
service once every four weeks, and
also alternate services once every two
weeks and once every three weeks, by
vessels of not less than 1900 tons. be-
tween Auckland and San Francisco,
for period of five Tor seVen) years,
commencing about April, 1901, provid-
ed that at least one British-oWned
steamer shall be employed in either
service. The result of such negotia-
tons shall be submitted to the House
for confirmation next session, and
shall have no effect till approved by
the House.
In answer to question whether
Messrs. Spreckels & Co. had made any
offer to the Government in regard to
a service, and if so what the Ministers
intended to do, the Premier said an
offer had been received for a service
to start in December next. New South
Wales was included in the offer and
had not yet had tune to consider lit.
This offer would save the company
rendering
