Not one-foartn Of the big mail expected
arrived on the steamer Walla Walla from
San Francisco. The long cessation OF all
traffic or the Southern Pacific and Atchi-
son systems and the washed-out condi-
ton Of the Union Pacific have prevented
any mails coming or going from Califor-
pia since the Inauguration Of the strike.
Finally il was determined 10 send them
10 this city by steamer. and thence East
by the Great Norihern road. By some
miSchauee the mails which had been taken
% Oakland for dispatch by rail were not
brought 10 the steamer, and so only
i53 sacks. making FIVE scaut wagon loads,
were brought 20 this city. OF this. three
loads were destined for Oregon, one for
Seattle and Washington and one for the
East Much Of the mail for Portland was
from the East and had come by way Of
San Francisco before the tie-up Of the Cal
ifornia roads. Oh July 8 the postofice de-
partment began sending. all the Pacific
coast mail out over the Great Northern
and the first load came in on last nights

be sent down by steamer.

Army, fifty-three strong. under command
o. Lieut.. Mcclellan. arrived in the city at

The men left Fort Candy last night at
o'clock, took the boat 10 kalama, and
came through to Tacoma by train. At
that place shey received orders 20 proceed
ar once to Seattle till further notice.
While the train lay ut Tacoma the strikers
and sympathizers began to Josh" the
soldiers. thinking them state militiamen,
put suddenly became quiet and very re-
spectful when told they were regulars.
The men report everything quiet along the
road, and state that every train leaving
Tacoma for Portland is guarded by force
Of five regulars. and every bridge between
Tacoma and Seattle is patrolled by three
deputy marshals. The general belief
among the men IS that they are to guard
trains running out of this city. The bat
terry will occupy its cars. which have been
side-traeked at the foot of Madison street.
