Robert J. Creighton of San I'rnncisco South Dakota celebrated the Fourth of
is in Washington. His business there is j jiv nn(l took part j a ejmm battle on
in relation to the Australian mail serv
ice, with which he has been prominently
identified for many venrs. " Up to tho
close of 188!)," said Mr. Creighton, " tho
Australian mail lino wiib supported by
the colonies of New Zealand nnd New
South Wales. Last year tho latter gov
ernment withdrew absolutely, but New i
Zealand continued it for another year, j
hoping tho United States government .
would step in nnd contribute an adequato
share to its support, as this country was
the principnl gainer by the service. Tho
sliipping act of tho last session may bo
regnrded ns n beginning in that direc
tion, but it is by no menns sufficient, nor
doeB it appropriate nearly as much
money for conveying our bulky Austra
lian mail as the small colony of New
Zealand paid American steamship com
panies for many years for carrying its
English mail to ami from San Francisco.
Doubtless Congress would see the wis
dom of extending this policy and build
ing American commerce with the British-Australian
settlements, which are
among tho richest communities in tho
world."
