AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
* Paris, July 15. t Sir Graham Berry and Sir Saul t Samuel had a conference yesterday with » the director of the French Postal , Department on the question of the p transit rates of Australian mails. It s was arranged that the latter should [ report on the matter to the Minister of . Finance, whose decision would be i given a week hence. The Agentst General s have therefore modified their p plans, and will now await the reply of the French Government before proceeding to Rome. The suggestion of the Ostend route made by the Agents at the first interview was used as a means of pressure, and it is now expected the concession asked for will be granted . The French Government does not object to a division of the mail matter, providing the traffic is guaranteed on the basis of the Convention of 1880.
