the matter Of dates, Informing him that
he did not relinQuisll his office until

REARRANGENERT or FAST NAIL SERVICE.
WASHINGTON, October l6.-The POST
master General has directed, in compli-
anCe with the request OF the Postmaster
at st, Louis, that the Encouragement OF
the fast mail service between New York
and St. Louis and the Southwest be made
prior to the LIST prOximO for all such
matter as naturally belongs to the Penn
sylyania Railroad, and orders it to he
sent by that line instead OF the New York
Central and Lake Shore route. This
new arrangement will save the depart
ment the expense oil an unnecessary long
haul, and insure quicker delivery Of The
mail between the East and Southwest,
and points on and near the line between
ST, Louis and Pittsburgh, to which closed
pouches are sent. 1t will also prevent
delays now caused by the lack Of railway
postal car service between Pittsburgh and

MISSISSIPPI AFFAIRS,
Ex-senator Pease had long interview
to-day with the President on the subject
Of Mississippi, including the causes Of
the difficulties, the present condition Of
affairs, and the remedies. The President
talked freely, and said he was much
gratifed that the two political parties
had effected an amicablG adjustment by
which a fair election would be held and
peace maintained in the State. Efforts
have heretofore been made by Senator
Bruce and friends for the removal Of four
Federal officers in Mississippi, but Pease
has assurance that no removals wouldbe
made In that State for mere partisan rea-
sons, Attorney General PierrepOnt as
sured him that none coming under his
would be disturbed.
The Director General Of the Centennial
has suggested 10 the Secretary Of the In.
terror the propriety Of providing for
representation at the Exposition OF those
organizations formed during the late war
for the purpose Of mitigating the suffer-
ings Of the sick and wounded on the bat
tie fields.
