SEATTLE, Dec 25.--J. D. Jeffer- son, postmaster, Valdez: Mail from Jeanie being returned to Seattle and should be forwarded on Alameda leaving here Dec 3Oth.
 Signed. w. c. orr, Chief Clerk.
 The above message is the first news obtainable regarding the fate of the six days of Christmas mail for Val dez which was on the Jeanie and was believed to have been lost W en the ship was wrecked in Queen Char lotte Sound en route to this port. The news from the scene of the d'sast r was very meagre and no one knew if the mail has been saved or had gone down with the ship.
 As no wrecking ship has been near the Jeanie since she struck. the mail must have been saved by the man clerk and crew of the steamer and taken ashore to be picked up by some Canadian boat. American vessels cannot stop at the scene of the wreck without special permission of the Ca aadian authorities.

 The trust will endeavor to have the matter brought up in the United States court in an effort to prevent the collection of the fine. ..
