SAN FRANCISCO MAIL STEAMERS.
h" : : i- : ! **" ' — "'• [BY TELEGRAPH.— OWN COKfIBSJPOXOKXT.] ." : Wellington, Wednesday. , There has been some talk recently of introducing new and larger steamers for the I Han Francisco service, in view of the fact that the vessels now employed on the trade have frequently been so crowded that applications for berths have had to be refused. Inquiries in Wellington go to show, ;'however, that no. definite plans have yet been arranged. It appears that last year the extraordinary demand for accommodation on these steamers was accounted for by the existence of the St. Louis Exposition, which attracted people to America ' from all parts of the world. The presumption here is that the Exposition being no longer a centre of attraction, the volume of traffic will return to its ordinary limits.
