United States railway mail service are
actively engaged in throwing" the

clerks at work, just as they work while
speeding along railroad track.
A curious collection Of old time rel
les from the p0stofflce museum at
Washington illustrates as no verbal
description can do the crude begin

these relics is an old fashioned stage
coach that once carried Upited States
mails through portion of the Louisi-

Roosevelt, who once inspected it, ex-
amined with rough riders interest
the bullet holes which stage robbers
and mountain brigands shot through
its stiff leathern curtains. Generals
Sherman and Sheridan and President
Garfield rode in this old coach during
the strenuous days Of frontier life.

Tho general staff admits il is without sdvices
whether the railroad and telegraph TO Port Ar
,h,r are still open. Upon several points, how
ever srecifc information is vouchsafed The
idea that the Russian squadron at Port Ar
thur is being destroyed TO prevent lis falling
into the hands OF the enemy IS secuted az the
Admiralty, where the statements made last night
are reiterat ted. Admiral Rogestvensky said:

s+a@rs reports the japanese forces advancing
