SAN FRANCISCO, May -L If tho Southern Pacific cnrries out plans now seriously considered, the great fleet of steamers operated by the Southern Pacific Pa-cific between New York and Galveston will plv between Boston and Galveston with New. York as a port of call. The Southern Pacific mal;cs this move in retaliation for the New York, New llaycn & Hartford's conduct iu establishing a cheap steamship service between Los Angclos and San Francisco Fran-cisco with the steamers Harvard and Yale. Until tho Pacific Navigation company, com-pany, which the Southern Pacific believes be-lieves is a subsidiary of the Now York, New Haven & Hartford, established its service with the Harvard and Yalo, ; the Southern Pacific had a practical monopoly of tho freight aud passenger busiuoss between San Francisco, Los Ancreles and San Diego.
