Among the passengers on tho outgoing steamer Slvte of Cat ijurwitr yesterday wjs a man 33 or 40 years old who first gave his name as Thos. Collins. On the way down from Portland he acted singolarly and on the dock when the steamer got here ho seemed trying pretty hard to get into a row, being either drunk or crazy or both. Ho finally got aboard and when tho steamer cast off her lines and swung out in tho stream ho got up on the upper deck, and to tho horror of the pnsengers he jumped from the vessel .striking well out from her side. He was evidently a L'ood swimmer, for after coniins to the surface he deliberately took off h:.s coat and swam around in good shape till a boat manned lv Win. llcCabo and John Nelson put off from the dock and picked him up. Ho was led to jail and us soon as ho got his breath he told Chief lough- rey a disconnected yarn about men following him, of three women in black, of peopio who wanted to kill him. and hinted of great family troubles. His departure from the steamer was something a man iu his senses could hardly accomplish. He will be given a chanco to explain himself this afternoon. Tho general impression is that ho wanted to commit suicide but changed his mind when he found how damp and cold the Columbia river is. His story is that his name is itobert Carroll; that he lives at Napavine, Lewis county, W. T.. that he has a wife and eight children, is a member of (,'hehalis Lodge A. F. fc A. M.: hasn't drank for five years; started to San Francisco for work; was watched and dogged all tho way and pushed overboard by men when he fell from the steamship. ASTOKIA FltnUilT.

Tho immediate delivery system goes into operation in all towns in tho United States of 4.000 inhabitants or over on tho 1st of next month. The net organizing the immediate delivery prescribes that letters bearing a special delivery ttn cent stamp shall bo deliverod immedi ately within tho carrier limits of any postoffice employing carriers, or within one mile where no carrier system is in operation. It prescribes that immediato dclivcrv shall be in operation from 7 a. ii. until midnight. It provides for tho employment of extra messengers and for their iy, which shall not exceed 30 per month. The directions for carrying cut the act are as follews: The mails must be opened immediately on their arrival in the office, and thoso with the immediate delivery stamp must be separated from tho others and delivered forthwith. A nnrabor of boys must bo provided to act as messen gers between 7 a. m. and midnight; and each messenger must be over thirteen j'oars of age, of good character, and must tajio the customary oath. Substitute-let-tor carriors may" bo employed. Each messenger will be provided with a book in which the letter will bo entered with the tirao of its receipt; also tho signature of lho person receiving it and cognato remarks. A enrrier may bo allowed to deliver a special delivery letter if it can be done without delay. Tho letters will tm delivered either to tho addressed or representative. All carriers are required to receive letters bearing tho immediato delivery stamp when presented to them, keep them separate from other collected mail and turn thorn into the main office at once oa arriving there. At tho end of "each month the total value of the special delivery stamp3 pass ing through lho office will be computed and a sum not exceeding 0 por cent, of this amount will bo used for paying tho messengers, no messenger to receive moro than 30. The new stamp is dark blue in color and is 18-1G of an inch by 18-1G of an inch. On the left, in an arched panel containing the words "United States," is a messenger boy ou tho run. On tho right an oblong" tablet wreathed with oak and laurel, contains on top, "Special Postal Delivery:" on tho bottom, "Ten Cents."' the words separated by a small shield containing tho number "10," and, in r.ddiiioa. the words "Secures Immedi ate Delivery at a Special Delivery Office." Postmaster Chance says he has not as yet received any instructions relating to "the matter. CM IMS THE CREDIT. Mayor Gates of Portland writes to tho Oreyonian regarding his work of last week with lho Walla Walla at St. Helont; bar. He w.ys: "I wish it to bo distinctly understood that there never was a channel anywhere nearly lho di mensions of the one mado at St. Helens sluiced by a steamship, and there never was a steamship used for that purposa before that was largo and powerful enough to sluice a channel rliko the 0110 made by the Walla Walla.'' "And I claim tho honor of being the first person to propose and execute a plan whereby the astonishing result was ob tained, namely tho cutting of a ship channel deep enough and wido enough for tho largest vessels afloat and of any required length, in the maimer demon strated at St. Helens and Yalker's is land; and I did it contrary to the advice of every one who took interest enough to gho advice in regard to tho matter, ox cept tho officers of the company. To go to work systematically and make a ship channel of any considerablo length large enough for tho largest ves sels, in the manner that I did with tho steamship Walla Walla, had never been done boforc. And there is no history of a parallel case." A Neu ProccJure. In the new code of "Rulesof Practice," prepared by the commissioner of lho gen eral land office and approved by tho sec retary of the interior, thcro is an impor tant departure from the present practice regarding the initiation of contests. Un der the former rules, only a party iu in terest could bring a contestexcept in tho case of au abandoned homestead or a forfeited timber cnlturo entry. Tho new rules extended to everybody tho right to initiate contests against "tho party, auy entry filing or other claim, under the laws of congress relating to public lands, for any sufficient cause affecting lho legality or validity of the claim." Tho power of ofiieer.s to order hearings in certain class as of contests is extended by tho new rules to "all cases wherein au entry has not bseii perfected and no certificate has been issued as a basis for a patent."

The secretary's authority is confined to carrying out that law, and tho best that ho can do is to uso tho surplus in come from tariff receipts for paying off bonds which it is necessary to "remark, is tho last thing that Secretary Manning seems at present disposed to" do. Pitts burg Dispatch. Queen Victoria's talk of "my Indian empire." and what it devolves upon "me" to do in Egypt and elsewhere, and tho general overworking of the personal pro noun in tho address to parliament, begin to sound very like the amusing pomposi ty of a comic-opera queen. Tho fiction of royal authority is getting very thin. Boston Record. The present haggling by queen and politicians over the difference of a year or two in tho ago of a young girl who may legally accept social ruin and dis honor in London, roveals at onco the chasm that separates the justico of the Old World from that of tho now. We have not yet lost all our forefathers fought for and won. Current. Tho contrast between tho United States government and tho governments of other countries in this matter of encour aging foroign commerce is very marked our policy being that of extreme nig gardliness, and theirs of great liberal.
