COMPANY CAN BE FINED
Pacific Mail Steamer Siberia Left San
Francisco Without the
Mails.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-No report has
been received at the postoffice depart
ment relative to the action of the Pa
cific Mail steamer Siberia which left
San Francisco on August 16 for the
orient, leaving behind $50 packages of
mail.
Accepting the press dispatches as a
basis of action, however. the depart
ment today issued a statement that the
steamship company can be fined under
section 4010 of the revised statutes, for
improper discharge of its contract be
tween the steamship company and the
postoffice department in this case. but
this fact IL is said does not relieve the
steamship company of liability under
the statute mentioned. The company
receives what is known as sea postage
Tor the transportation of mail between
san Francisco and foreign ports,
which IS the form OF remuneration Civ
en- to all Pacific lines carrying United
states mail. No steamship can be COM
PEELED to carry the mails. but il is said
a the department that the fact that il
has in the past undertaken TO do so
and has not filed notice of its desire TO
discontinue the performance of this
service, brings il within the statute the
same as If a written contract had been
executed. The courts have passed upon
this question. in the case of railroads.

ments with the department. which
have been fined for failure TO transport
the mails promptly and properly. The
penalty in such cases shall not exceed
half the contract price for carrying the
mails. In case no specific contract ex-
lists the courts have held that the pen
atty shall be one-half the sea postage
collectable for the amount of mail car
ried or offered.

ton he said:

Another bad sign was the change in
the personal attitude of the pIenipo-
tentiaries toward each other During
the week they have been growing
more and more friendly at the lunch
con which they take together at the
navy yard This conversation was live

up in a single sentence-proInpt and
heroic action by outside influences
