THE MURRAY HARBOR TRAIN MAIL SERVICE.

Sm.-The leading editorial in Wednes-

day's Patriot under the caption “Away Beh`lnd the Times" critlclses the mall ser- vice for thc section of country traversed by the Murray Harbor Branch Railway and naturally calls for n statement from ine. The question is asked. \Vhy the delay in inaugurating a mail service iii connection with this branch railway? And The Pafiet gives currency to what it terms excuses for the delay. Now, at the outset, I must say that so faras the Post Office Department is concerned there is no excuse to make and tho excuse given by 'l`lic Patriot was not obtained from anyone having a knowledge of the facts. It is necessary lo give the mail contractors ii reasonable notice in order toterminiite their contracts and during the summer months it was uncertain whether the Bridge Bridge would be completed by the fall so as to allow trains to run. Nevertheless all arrangements were made in the laying out of new mail routes and proposals were madc to the Railway authorities for the carryingof the malls by train. I may state that the amount tendered was the same as is paid on every other Branch Railway in Canada but the Railway au- thorities decllno bo accept this and there the matter rests. It is therefore now up to the Railway to say when they wish to take the mails. In thc ineantiiiie an excellent service is lveing elven hy the couriers with one or two exceptions and these men will be attend- cd to. I only wish to add that if the Post Office Department are able to comel but. at the end of the your with a snug surplus that is no reason why part. of it should be contributed as ii gift to help

NEW NEVELNPMENT IN EISNENY EASE

Sr. Joi=iN's, Nild.. December 25.-An

interchange of cablegrams respecting the alleged seizure of an American herring fishing vessel by the Newfoundland authorities has developed the fact .hatuthe vessel meant was the Gloucest- er fishing schooner which was seized at' Sydney a week ago by the Canadian authorities for shipping Newfoundland fishermen there to engage in the herring industry in Bay of Islands without paying the Canadian license fee. Previous to this year, tne Canadian government regarded the iieriing`vesscls us traders, and ex- pected no license foe, but recently Canada decided to compel the payment of allcense fee. The Newfoundland autlioritlcs are not responsible for this development at o. l.

“I slipped on an icy step and sprained
