FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS.
AppIicatfOn Made in Behalf of a Pub
fishing Company.

The National Railway Publication Com
pany, through it's manager, w. F. Allen,
late yesterday afternoon filed petition in
the Supreme Court of the District OF Co.
lumbia for writ of mandamus to compel
the Postmaster General to admit to the
mails as second-class matter publication
known as 1.-The Official Guide of the Rail-
ways and Steam Navigation Lines of the
United States, Porto Rico, Mexico, Canada
and Cuba" 1t is now required to pay
third-class rates. The petition was pre-
sented to Justice Bradley, who signed an
order recurring the Postmaster General to
show cause the 9Th OF FEBRUARY why the
writ should not issue.
It is stated that in June, 1900, the Post
master General admitted the publication
as second-class matter, but that the 18TH
of last November the publishers were notf-
fed that such action had been Cancelled,
and that in future the rate Of postage
would be one cent for two ounces, In place
of the pound rate.
It is explained that under the old rate
the postage on the guide was about three
and a third cents a copy, or 40 cents per
annum. Under the new ruling. however,
the postage would be about $S.R a year.
The petitioner says it was informed that
as the primary and principal feature OF the
publication is that Of a reference book. and
not that of current news or miscellaneous
literary matter. the dspartmenI feit JUST
class matter.
The National Railway Publication Com
pany contends that the character Of its
publication is practically the same as when
first issued. When the order Of the Post
Office Department went into effect admit
ting the periodical as second-class matter
there was no objection raised. and there
had been none for period of twenty years.
SO it Is declared The only change, be-
yond the natural enlarging OF the guide,
has been the. substitution Of the phrase.
"Official Guide Of the Railways and Steam
Navigation Lines of the United States,
Porto Rico, Canada, Mexico and Cuba .
for the original title. "The Travellers on
cial Guide" The petitioner further alleges
that 1t was not competent for the Postmas-
the action of his predecessor, which had
been acquiesced In and had remained un-
questioned for SO long time.
