FEDERAL MAIL SERVICE

LONDON, July 13. 'Fairplay' declares that ship-owners engaged in the Australian trade generally consider that a mail service, maintained on a subsidy of £125,000 per annum by steamers of the size and speed proposed to bo utilised, cannot be a commercial success.
The 'Shipping Gazette' says that these are ticklish days so far as Australian administration is concerned. The tendency of the legislation is unpromising, and it is quite possible that the Orient Steamship Company will welcome a spell of freedom from the onerous conditions attaching to the carrying of mails.
