Mail Handled in this City.

There has been some talk about how
fast the post Office at this place is in
5reasings its business, and for future
reference an estimate has been made
as to how many pieces Of ma Il are
handled blythe Office every day. A close
calculation of this month has given an
average so far of 1900. pieces daily,
which makes the clerks handle some
where in the neighborhood of $50, 600
pieces every month OF 80 days, and in
the cause o. a year they handle very
near 4 800, coo pieces.
This calcul a5ion does not include the
heavy mail of Christmas or Valentines
Day. but is made in the months
when the mails are at their lightest.
These fpures are g very creditable
showing for town of Ell Paso's size.

just the night before they were to go

fact that 50 many of the wounded were
from Albuquerque and the vicinity
may suppose that the Ell Paso
boys had good part of the fight yes
ter6ay on their shoulders. A good many
regrets were heard on the street that
the Albuquerque boys should have
suffered so severely in The engagement.
It seems that the boys from here came

OUR COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.
Second Volume of Statistics About to
Be Issued.

Washington, Oct. 23-The second vol
ume of the Commercial Relations of
the United about TO be issued by the
bureau of foreign commerce, state de-
partment, begins with the annual re-
port of consular officers from the
United Kingdom. The volume is filled
with information of the greatest value
TO commercial and manufacturing in
terests, containing, as it does, sugges-
lions from some of the ablest consular
officers as to the best means of extend
ing American trade, based upon close
observations of British methods and
needs. There are also many statistics
of interest. For instance, in the first
report. that Of the consul general at
London, William Osborn it is shown
that the total imports into the United
Kingdom for 1896 (the last obtainable
figures) exceeded in value the imports
of any one of the past 16 years. the
increase over 1895 being no less than
$125, 596, 730. OF this large increase the
imports from the United States alone
showed an excess of nearly 500. 000, 900.
The heaviest item of increase in the
United States list was cats, which
showed the marvellous rate OF increase
of lao per cent, the increase in value
being $4,000 coo. The imports of slate
from the United States increased 800

BRITISH VIEW.
No Negotiations Possible Until Fash
oda Is Evacuated.

London, Oct 24.-The French yellow
book on Fashoda seems to indicate an in
tention of the French government to
utilize the Marchand affair as means of
raising the whole Egyptian question. This
impression is confirmed by the comments
of most of the Paris papers this morn
ing. The London press admits the gravity
of the situation revealed by the yellow
book, but the papers are unanimous in
declaring that it is impossible for Lord
SALISBURY. to consent to any negotiation
until Fashoda is evacuated. As how
over. the French minister. M. Del Case
with equal trmness declines to withdraw
Marchand without previous negotiations
the situation has an OMNIBUS outlook,
The Times in its editorial said Lord
SALISBURY has replied to Baron de
Courcers pretensions with the decision
which might have been hoped for. Baron
de CoCrcei. after a long conference with
NJ. Del Case, left Paris for London yes
terday. According to the Temps. he had
an important conversation with Lord
Salisbury before he left London and will
have another on returning there
Another dispatch from Paris says 1t is
rumored that he is bringing to London
definite proposals for the evacuation OF
Fashoda on condition that France be
granted a Nile outlet on the river Bahr-
El-Gazal. one of the tributaries of the
Nile, entering ii about $50 miles south
west of Fashoda at Mokrem- El-Bohur
Most of the special dispatches to the
London papers Say yesterday Sunday

ASHORE ON THE SHOALS.
Unavailing Efforts to Rescue Crew
Near Halifax

Halifax. N s.. Oct 23.-Tugs which
have been endeavoring for hours to reach
a large sQuare-rigged vessel ashore on
Thrumcap shoals, about a mile and a
half from here have abandoned the effort
to save the crew of the unknown craft.
The vessel was discovered on the rocks
at daylight this morning. having gone
ashore in the heavy gale last night. Only
stumDs of mastS are visible from the
signal station and five have been counted
first the unfortunate craft was thought
to be a fish barkentine, as one was due
here. During the morning the crew
could be seen making signals. but the
binding spray of the sea breaking over
the hull prevented them being under
stood. Lifeboats from the Devils sta
ton were early on the scene but could
not get within a half mile of the shoals
The noise of the surf was terrific This
afternoon the tugs got near enough for
Mr. Crosby, the Halifax agent of the
barkentine lrma, which was due from
Turks Islands with salt. to venture the
opinion that the vessel was the Irma IL
was cOnjectured that the vessel might be
the barkentine Ida Maud but the dis
masted hull appeared too large. A life
buoy attached TO small line was sent
off from the stranded vessel this evening
and was allowed to float down to one of
lifeboats An attempt was then made 10
pass q heavy line. but the small line
broke and darkness coming on another
could not be made. Only five men were
seen on the vessel and the crew of the
Trina numbered nine. Ii is feared that
four have been lost. The sea is still high
and further efforts to rescue the crew
have had to be abandoned. 1t is feared
the vessel cannot hold together much
longer and much anxiety exists. The

city.
