The interest aroused over the mail route question has been sup- plemented by two events worthy of note. There were delivered yesterday for the first time in history, letters posted in London 27/1-2 days before. These were brought by the Venture, which also established a San Francisco- Sydney record of 18 days 2 hours actual steaming. Here is a four and a half days' saving over the very fully and faithfully recorded best time via Suez, all of which in in the newspapers. The second incident is the receipt of details of the two new express steamers building" by the Union Iron Works of San Francisco to the order of the Oceanic Steamship Company. The phrase "last word in marine architecture and com fort" has come to be a somewhat hacknoyed and meaningless expression, It would appear, however, that in this instance such will not be the case though the last word simile is wisely omitted. The new steamers, each 15,000 tons, will bring Sydney within 25-26 days of London and 15-16 days of San Francisco. In the former, should the trans-

pay is not sufficient to make them readily forego the pay and freedom they get ashore, for the disciplinary conditions and re- muneration they are offered for service in their loal fleet.
What is only too often over, looked is the fact that the popala- tion of the whole of Australia is less than the population of London, and we ourselves might find it a difficult task to man one of our own fleet unite entirely by á London crew.
