FL Portal, Cal, Oct. I'm the wilder
ness on the western slope of the
Slerras, away from crowds and the
necessity of speech making. President

the outskirts Of the Yosemite valley
before starting Friday morning to
penetrate the Mariposa grove.
Eats Lunch in Forest.
The president and party left this sta
tion of the Yosemite Valley railroad at
a. m. The coaches will travel stead
lily until 1880 o'clock. when a stop
will be made at Chinquapim. Lunch
con will be served in the forest there,
and after a short rest the journey to-
ward Wawona will be resumed.
The president. after spending to-
night at Wawona and visiting the big

The big SeQuoia trees which the
president will see tomorrow are known

measures more than 100 feet in cir

est and upon which stage coach and
a team of six horses can be driven, is
another. But probably the most In

years old, thru which driveway ter
feet high has been cut in order tina
the stage coach may pass benesIth.

NEW RULE ON MAIL DELIVERY.
Registered Letters May Be Left With
Anyone at Address,

Washington, Oct. 1.-The postoffice
department has decided upon a more
liberal policy in registered letter de-
livery. Hitherto rules of the depart
ment have made it possible for post
men to deliver letters to any one other
than the person addressed. This has
resulted in vexatious delays and ser-
Gus inconvenience to business and pro-
fessional men.
Hereafter registered mail is to be
left at the place to which it is direct
ed if signed for by some responsible
adult. The department properly re-
poses trust in the discretion of the
postman, who is presumably a person
blessed with common sense and ac-
quainted with the character of many
on his route. Safety, which is the sole
consideration in registration, is still
sufficiently SafeRuafied.
