The Mississippi Election.
Special Despatch TO The Evening Telegraph
WASHINGTON, July 10.-Strong efforts are
being made to have the action of the Cabinet
fixing the time of the election in Mississippi re-
considered, and fixed either for the first of Sep
tember or the first of January. Judge Dent
the Presidents brother-in-law, visited him twice
after the decision of the Cabinet was known,
with view to get reconsideration. The Presi-
dent replied that the expression of the opinion
of the Cabinet on the subject was so decided
that he thought it would be useless to bring the
subject p again.
The China Mission.
Among the visitors at the White House to-day
was the Hon. William A. Howard, the new Min

finally come to the conclusion to decline the
mission. The probabilities are that j. Ross
Browne, the present Minister, will be allowed
to remain, at least for the present.

Receipts from internal revenue to-day are
very large, being over million and a half OF
