J. Lowrie Bell, the general superintendent of the railway mail service, has returned from a trip of inspection through the west. He started from Now York on the first trip of the fast mail train to San Francisco and saw it leave Omaha, where two passenger cars and one dining car was attached to the train of three postal cars. This train reached San Francisco, making about twenty-four hoars quicker time ax compared witb the previous schedule. Mr.

Bell thinks that this train is a great success and savs that it has the advantage in not being effected by tho changes in the passenger schedules. He say that the effect of this quick time has already been made apparent An changes that will be made in eollateral lines which will shorten the time two or three hours. Ho also savs that a change in the schedule of one of the main lines in the country is now in contemplation, which will improve tho time in the transportation of mails some eight hours.

What a Mississippi Congressman Has to Say About the Coming Session. Representative Hooker of Mississippi isrcndy for the congressional frav, but ho to believe that the approaching session is going to bo quite calm. "I do not," said ho to a Stab reporter this morning, "imagine that the republicans will be active in endeavoring to so change tho of tho House as to destroy the of the minority. They may have contemplated such a move some time ago. but I think the recent elections havo shown them that minority and republicanism may frequently bo synonymous.

Was our election in Mississippi quiet? Oh. ves; there was no opposition. The republicans had nominated a ticket, but they decided that a contest was unnecessary, so everything went through smoothly." "Your seat is contested?" suggested the reporter. "Yes, it is. But as my majority was more than 8,000 and 1 carried every county in tho district, while my opponent carricd butono prcciut in his own county, I am not all bothered about the contcst." NATIONAL GUARD RIFLE PRACTICE.

For Reform of the Star Route Service.

Tho system of subletting which now prevails in operating the star route service is commented upon by CoL Whitfield, the second assistant postmaster general, in his annual report He says that while the competition among professional bidders has securod to the government exceedingly cheap rates it cannot truthfully said to have tended to the improvement of the service. He recommends the appointment of a commission to investigate and report upon this subject, with a view to make tho carrying of mails under the star route system equitable alike to the government and the contractor and relieve it, as far as possible, from the evils and iniquities with which it is burdened. Col. Whitfield concurs in the recommendation of the general superintendent of the railway mail service that some provision be made for the families of pottul clerks killed while on duty.

Morris and Hamilton appearing for the propoundcr of tho will, Mr. Lichorn, who was named as the executor. The jury retired on Friday evening and agreed on, signed and sealed the vcrdict in a few hours.

Following is Jephson's appeal to Stanley for help when the mulidists were expected Upon Emins party: "Had this rebellion not happened the pasha could havo kept the mahdists in check some time, but now he is powerless to act. 1 would BllKgest on your arrivul at Kivollld that you writo a letter in Arabic to Shukoy Aga of your arrival and telling him you wish to see the pasha and myself. Writo also to the pasha or myself, telling us what number of men you have with you. It would, perhaps, be better to writo to me, as a letter to him might be confiscated.

Neither tbo pacha nor myself think there is the slightest danger now of any attempt to capture you, for the people are now fully persuaded that you have come from Egypt and they look to you to get them out of their difficulties. Still it would be well for ou to make your camp strong. If wo are not able to got out of the country plcaac remember mo to my friends, Ac." EMJN HBLEA8ED. A postcript dated November 24 after I had written you the soldiers were led bv their officers to attempt to retako Begaf, but the mahdists dofended it and killed six officers and a large number of soldiers. Among the officers killed were somo of the pasha's worst enemies and the soldiers in all the stations wero so panic stricken and angry at what happened that they doclarcd thoy would not attempt to fight unless tho pasha was set at liberty.

So the rebel officers were obliged to free him and sent him to Wadelai. where he is froe to do as he pleases; but at present ho has not resumed authority in the country. He is, I believe, by no means anxious to do so. We hopo in a few days to be at Tunguru station, on tho lake, two days' steamer from Nsabe, and I trust when we hear of your arrival that the pasha himself will be ablo to como down with me to see you. Wo hear that the mahdists sent steamers down to Khartoum for reinforcements.

If so, they cannot be np here for another six weeks. If they come np here with reinforcements it will be all np with us, for the soldiers will never stand against them aud it will be a mere walkover. Every one is anxiously looking for your arrival, for the coming of the mahdists has completely cowed them. We may just manage to get out if you do not come later than the end of Decembor. but it is I entirely impossible to foresee what will happen.

THE MABDISTO WANT BEJNFOKCEMENTS. Jephson, in a second postscript dated December 18. says: "Mogoo, the messenger, not having started I seud a second postscript. We were not at Tanguru on November 25. The mahdists surrounded Duflle station and besieged it for lour days.

The soldiers, of whom there were about 300.manuged to repulse them, and they retired to Itegaf. their and they havo sent down to Khartoum lor reinforcements and doubtless will attack again when strengthened. In our flight from Wadelai the officers requested me to destroy our boats and the advances. I therefore broke them up. Duiilo is being renovated as fast as possible.

The pasha is unable to move hand or foot, as there is still a very strong party against him and the officers are no longer in immediate fear of the mahdists. Do not on any account come down to ns ut my former camp at the lake near Kavallis Island, but make your camp at Kavallis, on the plateau above. Send a letter directly you arrive there, and as soon as wo hoar of your arrival I will come to you. I will not disguise the fact from you that you will have a difficult and dangerous work before you in dealiug with tho pasha's people. I trust you will arrive before the mahdists are reinforced or our case will be desperate." STANLEY'S UGLY FEAUB.

Stanley continues, in his reply to Jephson: "Be wise, be quick and waste no time. Bring Btiiza aud your own Soudanese with you. I have read your letters half a dozen times over but fail to grasp tho situation thoroughly, because. in some important details, one letter contradicts tho other. In one you say tho pasha is a close prisoner, while you are allowed a certain amount of liberty; in the other you say you will come to me as soon as you hear of our arrival here, and 'I you -that tho pasha will be able to accompany Being prisoners Jl fail to soe how you could leave Tauguru at alL All this is not very clear to us, who are fresh from the bush.

If the pasha can come send a courier on your arrival at our old camp on the lake below hero to announce the fact and I will send a strong detachment to escort him up to the plateau, even to carry him if he needs it. I feel too exhausted after my 1.300 miles of travel since I parted from you last May to go down to the lake again. Tho pasha must have some pity for me. Don't be alarmed or uneasy on our account Nothing hostilo can approach us within twelve miles witliout my knowing it I am in the thickest of a friendly population. HE IS BEAPT FOB THKX.

"If I sound a war note within four hours I can have 1,000 warriors to assist me to repel any force disposed to violence, and if it is to be a war why then I am ready for the cunningest Arab alive. I have read your letters half a dozeu times and my opinion of you varies with each reading. Sometimes I fancy you are half mahdist or Arabist and then Eminist. I be wiser when I see you. Now, don't be perverse, but obey, and let my order to you be as a frontlet between the eyes, and all with God's gracious help will end welL I want to help the pasha somehow, bat he Bast also help me and credit me." On January 16.

says Stanley in hfe general narrative, I received with this batch of letters two notes from the pasha himself confirming the above, but not a word from either Jephson or the pasha indicating the pasha's dutooml Did he still waver or was he at last resolved to Join with any other man than the pasha or Gordon? One would that, being a prisoner and a fierce enemy hourly expecting to give the coup mortal, be would gladly embrace the first chance to escape from the coontry given on by his goraraEs.t Bat the? was no hint in these letters what eoorse the script which here follows, and in my state of mind. after reading these letters. I wrote a formal li tter, which might be read by any Jephson or any of tbr addressed it to Jephson. as rrqarnhi STANLEY PROMISES help. But on a separate sheet of I wrote a private postscript for Jeph-on's riisai, follows: "Kavallis, January IS.

8 o'clock p.m. My dear Jephson. I now smd thirty rifles and three Kavallis men dowu to the lake with my letters with my urgent that a canoe should be set off and the bearers Ik- rewards d. I may be able to stsv longer than six days here, perhaps ten days. 1 will do my best to prolong my stav until you arrive without rupturing the peace.

Our people have good store of beads and couriers' cloth, and I notice that the natives trade very readily, which will assist Kavallis resources should they get uneasy under our prolonged visit. Should wo get out of this trouble I am his most devoted servant and friend, but if he hesitub again I sli-11 be plunged in wonder and perplexity. 1 could save dozen pashas if they were willing to bo saved. I would be on my knees and implore the pasha to be Sensible of his own case. He is wise enough in all tilings else, even for his own interest, lie kind aud good to him for his many virtues, but do not be drawn into the fatal fascination the Soudan territory acems to have for all Europeans in late veara.

A WARNINO. As they touch its ground they seem to be drawn into a whirlpool which sucks them in aud covers them with its waves. The only to avoid it is to obey blindly, devotedly and unquestionuigly all orders troin the outside. The committee said: 'Kelievo Emtu with this ammunition. If he wishes to eotne out the ammunition will enable him to do so.

If be elccts to stav it will be of service to The khedivu said the same thing, aud added that if the pasha and his officers wished to stay they could do so on their on responsibility. Sir Evelyn Baring said the same thing in clear, decided words, aud here I am, after 4.100 miles travel, with the last installment of relief. Let him who is authorized to take it. take it and come. I am ready to lend him all tuy strength and will assist him.

but this time there must be no hesitation, but positive yea or nay, and home we go. Yours sincerely, Stanley." SENTIMENT IS EMIN's ENEMY. In the course of his correspondence Mr. Stanley says: "On February 6 Jephson arrived in the afternoon at our camp at Kavallis. I was startled to hear Jephson in plain, undoubtiug words say, 'Seutiinent is the pasha's worst enemy.

No one keeps Emin back but Enun "This is the summary of what Jephson learned during the nine months from May 25. 1888, to February 6. ISH'J. I gathered sufficient from Jephsou's verbal report to conclude that during nine mouths neither the pasha. Casati nor any man in the province had arrived nearer any other conclusion than what was told us ten months before.

However, the diversion in our favor created by the mahdist invasion aud the dreadful slaughter they made of all thoy met inspired us with hope that we could get a tinite answer ut last, though Jephson could only reply, 'I really cannot tell you what the pasha means to do. He says he wishes to go awav, but will not move. No one will move. It'ts impossible to say what any man will do. Perhaps another advance by the m.ihdists will send thom all pell-mell toward vou to be again irresolute and requiting several weeks' r- Stanley next describes how he had already sent orders to mass the whole of his forces ready for contingencies.

He also speaks of the suggestions he made to Emin as to the best means of joining him, insisting upon something definite, otherwise it would be his (Stanley's; duty to destroy the ammunition and march homeward. EMIN BEACHES HTANLET. lie continues: "February 13 a native courier appeared in camp with a letter from Emin and with the news that he was actually at anchor just below our plateau camp. This is his formal letter to me. dated the 13th: 'In auswer to your letter of the 7th rnst I have the honor to inform you thut yesterday I arrived here with my two steamers, carrying a first lot of people desirous to leave this country under your escort.

As soon as 1 have arranged for a cover for my people tho rs have to start for Mswa station to bring on another lot of people. Awaiting transport with me are some twelve officers, anxious to see you, and only forty soldiers. They have come under my orders tc request you to give them some time to bring their brothers from Wade la i and I promised them to do my best to assist them. Things having, to some extent, now changt you will be able to make tliem undergo whatever conditions you see fit to impose upon them. To arraugc these I shall start from here with officers for your camp, after having iirovided for the camp, aud if you send carriers could avail me of some of them.

1 hope sincerely thut the great difficulties you had to undergo aud the great sacrifices maJe by your expedition on its way to assist us may be rewarded by full success in bringing" out my people. The wave of iusanity which overran the country has subsided, and of such people as are now coming with me we may be sure, l'ermit me to express once more my cordial thanks for whatever you have done for us.
