Office came yesterday on board the
steamer Utopia. from Victoria.
where 1t had been landed by the
steamship Empress OF China, from
Yokohama.
The shipment comprised in all
1o6 pouches. Of which eighty-seven
were from Manila and the remain

Siamese ports. The shipment from
Manila consists OF twenty-four
pouches of registered matter.
twenty-three pouches of letter mail
and forty pouches OF papers and
lower class matter.
The registered matter IL regarded

ment. the near approach Of Christi
mas day causing the American sol
dicrs and citizens in the Philip
pines to send homeward all sorts
OF things from the islands az
Christmas gifts. There are just 800
separate pieces In the registered
mail. and the lot includes boxes Of
cigars, packages OF tobacco. war
relics. articles OF native manufac-
ture. curios and samples Of almost
everything the islands produce.
Only small proportion OF the
registered matter IL for local dis
tribution. The soldiers now In the
Philippines are from all parts OF
the United States. and their gifts
will scatter from Seattle In every
direction. The greater part of tho
ordinary letter mall. however. Is
fer Coast cities. principally for
business firms. This Is especially
noticeable in the mail from Hong
kong, Yokohama and other cities
on the Asiatic coast. and Is a good
indication of the revival and
growth OF trade relations between
the Orient and the Pacific states.
