AUSTRALIAN MAIL CONTRACT
STILL UNDER DISCUSSION

AZ ELLINGTON, Sept. 1S.-At the
Wv government caucus yesterday
the mail services We're a fruit
full source of discussion. Three routes
the San Francisco, the Vancouver
and the Federal-were reviewed. L ha-
lieve Mr.. Seldom supported the San
Francisco route, and urged that every
effort should be made to enable the
colony to enjoy the benefits of the
federal service by inducing the p. & o..
and Orient lines to make a New. Zea-
land port their last port of call. Other
members supported the San Francisco
route, but commended that the Vancou-
yer route should also be encouraged
This latter route found favor both
from commercial and sentimental rea-
sons, as it would give an all-British
communication between the Colonies
and the Old Country. There We're 9TH
er members, and not a few, who re-
garded with diSfaVOr any proposal to
continue the present agreement with
Messrs.> Spreckels & Co., on the grounds
that the service was not giving salts
faction, and that the colony could not
utilise any service carried on under
such laws as the American shipping
laws. 1t was suggested that proper
representations might induce the I'M
perial Parliament to use it's strongest
efforts with the American government
to secure a modification of these laws.
The attitude of the Auckland members
was plainly one of strong opposition to
any proposal which would deprive
Auckland of the advantages which it
derived as the port of call for the San
Francisco steamers. This question of
mail service will no doubt provoke
much discussion when the item Of
mails is reached on the estimates.

House for both the San Francisco and
Vancouver services, and allow the

this provision of the old bill that the
greatest hostility was shown at the
last session of Congress, and it is I'M
derstood the aim of the conference at
Boston will be to so frame this clause
as not to excite the same dangerous
opposition. To accomplish this pur-
pose and at the same time to carry
out the idea embodied in the foreign
tonnage feature Of the bill will be a
difficult matter, especially in view OF
the fact that since the Adjournment
of Congress last March j. PIerpont
Morgan and the transportation COM
panies with which he is allied nave
purchased foreign ships having com
hined capacity of 275,000 tons.
The question OF shortening the period
of operation of the subsidy law from
twenty years, as was proposed IN the
old bill, to about twelve or h1teeii
years will also be considered. Another
matter that will come up before the
conference, it is understood, viii be TO
fix q uniform rate of subsidy of l per
cent per gross ton for each one nun
dred nautical miles covered by shlps
enjoying a government bounty
In the old bill it was proposed TO
nav ~ cents for each one hundred
miles, not exceeding fifteen hundred
miles, and I per cent per ton for each
additional hundred miles sailed
An effort will be made also 10 sim
plify all the provisions in the new
measure so as to render il more intel
,igibIe to members of Congress ana
the general public.

regards their machinery, or such an
unimportant item that our mail, which
left here on the 18th ultimo, was de-
livered in London in tWenty-six days
and q few hours. Why is it that some
of our prominent fellow toWnsmen who
have travelled by this line speak in
glowing terms of the seaworthiness Of
the steamers, the eXcellency of their
table appointments, and the general
sense of comfort on board? We coli
fess to being a little puzzled, perhaps
it may be, at the evidence of other
peoples senses. To put it mildly it is
flying in the face of facts to say that
, the line has lost the sentimental or
commercial support Of the public. One
needs only to refer to the lists of pas
sengers arriving and departing by
these steamers to perceive the utter
fallacy of such a statement. The last
inward steamer landed quite a record
cargo at Auckland, both for this and
southern cities, and yet we are told the
line has lost commercial support. Last,
but not least, the postmaster general )
dissatisfaction with the present mail
service is considerably emphasized, aud
I'VE are asked to remember that we
have almost at our doors a regular
and efficient mail service to Europe.
This, needless to say. is the SueZ
route. by which our letters can be de-
l1VeFeG IN London IN from tnlrtY-SlX TO
thiTty-4liae days, viii; is therefore on
~ two weeks longer than by San
Francisco. The sorry expedient of
connecting with the Vancouver service
at Fiji, where both passengers and
cargo would require to tranShip, is
even elevated on account of it's all
: redness,' no other argument in it's ia
vor being Forthcoming. The whole tone
of these commendatory articles is sat
urated with that sentiment that seeks
the advancement of individuals against
the veal of the entire colony. Instead,
; then, of the government securing to
itself the best, the fastest, and the only
direct route to the Mother Country, It
is shuffling and dilly-dallying with our
best interests. Too late we may learn
that another colony, profting by our
rash and vacillating policy, has secur-
ed to itself what we have shamefully
LET slip through our fingers.
A SYDNEY OPINION.
! SYDNEY, Sept 20.-Referring to the
. Frisco mail service contract, the Daily
Telegraph says the subject has not yet
been finally considered by the Austria
liam government, but it may be regard
ed as certain that the Oceanic Com
pany will have to modify the demands
made by Mr.. Spreckels if terms are to
be concluded.
