Attorney A. H. Cohen made a fruitless
search to-day in the County Clerks office
for the papers that were filed in 1876
when the Government instituted proceed
ings in condemnation of lands for the
Alameda tidal canal. The late A. A. Co
hen was then awarded S2176 by an Ala
media county court for a portion of his
land, but he would not accept the money.
Now the money is missing Attorney Co
hen says he once asked former County
Clerk Allen, now deceased, where the
money was, and the reply was as follows:
u. that money is well invested. / have
loaned 1t to George w. Grayson."
When the hearing of the petition of Mrs.
Emily g. Cohen for an injunction to re-
strain the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
Dredging Company from exeavating prop

the tidal canal came up in Judge Halls
court this morning an assistant from the

WILL BREAK
MAIL RECORDS
Remarkable Time to Be
Made Half Around
the Globe.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-When the Cunard
liner Umbria sails to-day she will carry
a batch of mail matter that arrived in
San Francisco on last Monday on the
steamship Ventura from Sydney and
Auckland. 1t will be the speediest mail
delivery ever accomplished in the world
more than halfway around the globe,
by steam at sea and steam on land and
steam at sea again, in less than thirty
days.
The New York Central Railroad will de-
liver the mail bag-which includes several
bags-on board the Cunarder within five
minutes of her sailing time this morning
and the steamship will have the letters
in the London postoffice on the morning
of November 16. 1t will beat the fiction
of Phineas Fogg by twenty days.
The Ventura left Melbourne Australia,
on October IA, bound for San Francisco
by way of Sydney, Auckland and Homo
lulu. From Melbourne to San Francisco
the distance is about 5000 miles; from sgd
ney it is about $500 miles; from Honolulu
$500 miles. The Ventura stopped at each
of these ports. She arrived at Sydney
late on the 18th and her average speed
was about 400 knots in twenty-four
hours. From Sydney it took her three
days to Auckland, and from Auckland to
the Hawaiian Islands eleven days.
Her passage from Honolulu to the
Golden Gate was exceptionally speedy.
although it did not break the high record.
The Ventura anchored in American
4,
The mail bags were brought ashore and
placed on the regular mail trains of the
Southern Pacific and then run over the
Union Pacific, the Burlington and the
Lake Shore and then to the New York
Central.
The first feat of this sort was on Sep
TENDER Z. The run was made over the
Central and the mail was put on board
the Campania on that date and delivered
in the London postoffice and made ready
for distribution on the morning of Sep
TENDER H. This run was not like that
which will be finished this morning. A
special train was run on the Lake Shore
road from Chicago to Toledo, and ripped
over the rails at sixty miles an hour.
overtaking the fast mail which had left
two hours before.
To-days mail delivery will be by regu-
lar transcontinental mail trains. The ex-
IRENE distance from Melbourne to London
by way of San Francisco and New York
is Is, 265 miles.
Nearly II 900 miles of the new route be-
tween England and its far away COLONY
are covered by American ships and rail-
way trains. The beating of the last rec
ord of 311a days will prove that mail can
be taken through New York more quickly
than through the Suez canal and much
more quickly than by the all-water route.
