THE SAN FRANCISCO MAIL SERVICE.
By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. (Received Jaly 23, 0.21 a.m.) Sydney, July 22. EiEFERBIXG to a statement published in Auckland, that the contract between the American Government and the Oceanic Company contains a clause under which it is impossible to omit Auckland as the port of call, the managing agent of the Oceanic Company asserts that the statement is entirely wrong. A clause exists which leaves the company free to discontinue calling at a New Zealand port under certain conditions, and substituting Queensland, as suggested by Mr. Ramsay before the Queensland Chamber of Commerce. This message evidently refers 'to a statement which appeared in our columns. The terms of the contract as' published at the time distinctly specified Auckland a,s a port that the outward steamers from San Francisco had to call at on their voyage to Sydney. There is, however, nothing in the contract which necessitates their making Sydney their last port of departure from Australia, or which requires them to call at any New Zealand port on their return trip.
