MAILS RACE AGAINST TIME.
Two Days Delay Made Up Between San
Francisco and Chicago.

Instead of sailing for Europe at 10 a. m sharp
yesterday the Etruria cast off just one hour late.
The delay was due to the nou-arrival of the
European mails from Australia by way Of San
Francisco.

over eighteen thousand pounds, were due at San
Francisco on the Ventura two days before they
got there 1t was important that they catch the
Etruria, and the wires were Immediately set to
work to arrange for the Cunarder to be held
until they got TO New-York. Then the 31S bags
were hustled aboard a transcontinental train
and started for the East. All went we'll until
Omaha was reached, when il was found that the
only regular train that would get the mail
through TO Chicago in time to catch a train for
New-York had left
By orders OF the government a special train
was made up, and the mail started for Chicago
at q mile a minute rate, oYerhaullng the regular
train and passing 1t. At Chicago the mail was
placed on the regular train, all but one OF the
forty hours having been made up between San
Francisco and Chicago. Some time was lost be-
tween Chicago and NewYork, and the train
pulled into the Grand Central Station this morn

there was a special force of postoffice employees

chief witness in the trial of United States Sen
ator John H. Mitchell charged with practising
before federal departments while Senator. to-
day elected important testimony in favor Of
Senator Mitchell
It was shown by Tanners evidence that
Mitchell had warned Tanner not to involve the
Senator in any matters before the departments
OF the government, and not to receive any re-
rnunerstion for any services the Senator might
perform in Washington. Tanner said that
there was no understanding with Frederick
Kribs that the money paid by Krihs to Tanner
in return for the services of Mitchell. and
that the Senator had no direct knowledge of the
sources of his monthly remittances, his share
of the net earnings of the law firm of Mitchell
& Tanner.
Tanner said that never TO his knowledge did
Mitchell see q check from Kribs to the firm for
services rendered. Tanner testified that at the
time of the changing of the original contract Of
1887, which occurred in 1891. Mitchell was deep
" involved in Official business, and that the Sen
etor was shortly afterward taken with severe
illness. Tanner said he did not know personally
OF any services rendered by Mitchell before the
departments at Washington in regard TO the
KFibs claims other than such services as
Mitchell had performed for hundreds OF other
aware Mitchell might simply have forwarded
Tanners letters in regard to land claims to the
general office and returned the sealed replies to

represent mental activity in general as at the pot

aspects of the intellectual process are apt, with
most of u.s. to obscure the primary Importance Of

NO NEW LAWS FOR JEWS.
Car ApproUes Changes, but fiction
Is Postponed.

St Petersburg. June A.-Emperor Nicholas
on last Wednesday approved the recommends
tions of the Committee of Ministers on the re-
vision of laws dealing with Jews. The commit
tee was of the opinion that it would be detri-
mental to the interests of the remainder Of the
population to give Jews legal equality and
might lead to outbursts of popular I'll will. and
it therefore decided to leave the revision of the
bly,. but recommended the appointment of
special extra official conference, to consist of
members nominated by the Emperor and rep
preliminaries.
