The advantages Of the new methods or dis
Matching incoming foreign mails to their various
destinations in this country are so q u that 1t
IS difficult to understand why they were not
made sure of long ago. Under the system which
has lust been established the mail bags from
abroad for cities beyond New-iork are no longer
brought to the General Postofiice here, but are
sorted on board the tug on their way up from
Quarantine to the dock by PostO1lce clerks spe-
cially detailed for the service. BY the time the
tug has reached its landing place the mails in
question are ready TO be sent straight TO the
railroad stations The saving thus effected in
labor and time is considerable; for while the
Postofce is relieved Of about a third Of the
incoming mail from abroad Philadelphia re-
ccives its foreign letters three hours earlier than
heretofore, and the gain in the case Of such
cities as ST. Louis and points beyond Is as much
as twenty-four hours

BIMETALLIC VICTORY.
So the English League Regards the
Election of Mckinley.

LONDON, Nov. "a meeting of
members Of the Bimetallic league has
been in session all the afternoon, en-
gagged in the work of drawing up d
manifesto. Members from Birming-
ham, Manchester and elsewhere are II,
attendance. The document, which l.,
signed by Messrs. A. L. Denham, H
r. Greenfell, Robert Barclay, H. c..
Gibbs and III. MacNeil, claims that
McKinley's election is a victory for in
ternational bimetallism, and quotes the
money plank of the ST. Louis platform.
Continuing, it says:
In these circumstances and in view of
the stronger agitation for free silver or ma
tional bimetallism in state, in fact this agita-
and a genuine and determined effort upon the
part of the new government may be confident
ly anticipated to bring about an international
bimetallic agreement for the opening OF
the mints of the various countries to silver
as we'll to gold. The recent contest has
brought home to the people of this country
the vital Importance Of the monetary question
and the grave dangers which threaten the
industrial, commercial and financial interests
on international lines. The unreasonable at
titude Of this country in the past in the eff
forts to arrange a settlement Is mainly re-
sponsible for the attempt just witnessed to
induce the United States to act alone and for
the consequent unrest and disturbance in
commercial and financial circles. Therefore
1t is earnestly hoped that the country and the
other great powers of Europe will heartily CO.
operate with the United States in their en-
world upon permanent, sound and scientific
basis,

M'KINLEY'S IDEA OF IT.
His Opinion Expressed for the First
Time

CANTON, Nov. GA. representative
of the Associated Press called on Mai
Mckinley tonight and found him in his
library, chatting with number Of
friends, who were all feeling in excel
lent spirits over the election He asked
him: ITO what do you attribute Re-
publican success ~
"Oh, / don't care to be interviewed
but will say that think the patriotic
efforts Of the men of both the old par
ties have brought about the result
Ardent and devoted as have been the
efforts of Republicans everywhere,
equally pronounced and helpful was the
attitude of the sound money Democrats.
Then, the press Of the country, the in
telligent and enthusiastic efforts of the
great journals of both parties have
been a mighty factor in the result and
aid to the Republican cause"
President-elect Mckinley tonight sent
the following dispatch to Mark Hanna
at New York:
Hon. M. A. Hanna: Your telegraphic mes
sage announcing the result of the election has
been received. l beg you to accept by hearty
thanks for your great services in the cause of
sound money and protection throughout the
campaign now closed and gloriously won.
They were most generous and effective and
will receive the warm appreciation Of your
countrymen everywhere. I will be pleased to
have you convey to your associates of the
national committee my high appreciation Of
their efficient services. The people in their
majesty, ignoring party lines, have declared
their detestation of reputation and dishcnor,
in whatever specious guise they may be pre-
sented. They have with the same mighty
power affirmed their devotion to law and or
der, and their undertaking respect for Justice
and the courts. They have maintained their
unfaltering determination to support and up
hold the constituted authorities Of the coun-
try, and have thereby given new vigor and
strength to cur free institutions. They have,
indeed, again consecrated themselves to coun-
try and baptized the cherished ordinances
of free government with new and holy
patriotism. The victory is not to party or
section, but of and for the whole American
people. Not the least Of the triumphs of the
election is the obliteration OF sectional lines
in the republic.
We have demonstrated to the world that
we are a reunited people in purpose as in
name. We have manifested in the great
cause the spirit Of fraternity and brother
hood that should always characterize our
common and equal citizenship. and have
proved conclusively that in country OF
equal privileges and equal opportunity, the
insidious doctrine Of hate, or of class or sec
tional distinctions cannot prevail. Let us as
Americans straightway devote ourselves to
the upbuilding of America to the peace,
honor and glory of our common country.
Party dissensions should no longer divide or
rack the public mind; nor the zeal nor tenn
per of either side deter any citizen from
patriotic devotion to the good of all.

SANTA FE RECEIVERSHlP.
Unexpected Action by Those Opposed
to the ReceIyership.


TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 5.-The equip
ment of the Santa Fe in Kansas was
this afternoon placed in the control of
State Senator Chas. F. Johnson, of
Oskaloosa, Kan. Judge Myers, of the
First district, this afternoon at Oska-
loosa, made the appointment and Or
dered him to take charge of the proper
ty, which consists Of nearly 500 miles Of
railroad, together with depots, shops
and engine houses, Office buildings, real
estate and other property. The action
which resulted in the appointment Of
receiver is brought under the Kan
sas law Of 1891, which provides that no
corporation more than 20 per centum of
whose capital stock is owned by aliens,
shall acquire real estate in the state
OF Kansas, and that if any real estate
should be acquired in violation of this
statute, it shall be forfeited to the state.
The statute authorized any county
attorney to bring an action in the
name Of the state for such forfeiture
and authorizes and directs the court
ton by the county attorney of a Veri-
fled petition. The statute provided
that such real estate shall be forfeited
to the state and the appointment of a
receiver has been brought about, it is
charged, by the men who opposed the
recent reorganization plan of the San
ia F'e. When the reorganization was
affected at a meeting held in Topeka
the opponents of the plan, headed by
Henry Clews and Newman Erb, made
strong effort to prevent it. The ac-
ton today has created a sensation in
Topeka.

KENTUCKY IS IN DOUBT,

SUIT.
BATTLE HAS PASSED INTO HISTORY
the Last Hope of the SiIverites
Vanished.

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The campaign of
1896 is over. With Senator Jones' con-
cession tonight the last hope Of even
the most partisan silver men was lost,
and the exciting events Of the past few
months pass into history. But while
the main result is settled, there are
still some interesting situations. In
kentucky the vote Is extremely close.
but 1t is believed the state will go for
Mckinley by very small plurality.
On the coast, California is out of doubt.
ana one Of the Wyoming electors will
probably cast vote for Mckinley.
South Dakota is close, but is put now in
the Republican column. North Dakota.
and Indiana are no longer looked upon
as doubtful. Giving Mckinley the vote
of the Dakotas and Kentucky, and the
doubtful vote from Wyoming, he has
27S votes in the electoral college. With
out these last, he has still plenty to
give him an election. The result bv
states, both as to electoral and popular
vote, based ON the latest returns is
shown in the following table:

Returns.

Official figures were sent in last night
from several counties, those from ST.

Kinley's lead, his plurality now being
over 1000. The figures on governor, on
the other hand, cut into Clough's plu-
rality to such an extent that he now
leads Lind by but 5,066 votes. Enough
is known now to indicate clearly that
Clough is elected, though perhaps by
slightly larger or smaller plurality
than that given above. The other can
didates on the Republican state ticket
are elected by pluralities averaging
25,00O. All Of the nine amendments
voted upon are carried by large major
tiles. Returns so far received indicate
that the vote for Palmer and Levering
was everywhere very small. The vote
for these candidates in twenty-three
counties is given below:

at the priedieu, the wedding rings were
blessed and were handed to them on
a golden salver. After placing the
rings on each others fingers, the bridal
naiT. cIasned hands kand were again
sprinkled with holy water.

ments in the palace.
