IK Thu Ituwlan government, not content with stopping vesmtls from thu Pacific coast, bc-causo they carried merchandise 'Intended for privuto firms and Individuals in Japan, has now taken to confiscating United Hlates malls. This has been done with the ins II curried on tho steamer Cnlchas, and the act ban caused a pro test to bo mado hy the owners and agents of the steamer, which has been Hied with the poatofllrn department at Washington. Alfred Holt & Co., tho owners of tho Cnlchas, also give notice that during the duration of tho war they will carry no rnoro United HtaUti mail to Japan. Tlm latest move of the Russians will probably involve them deeper than any of their other aibitrarv acts since the wai oeiied, as tho government is not likely to permit its malls to he molest ed by tho czar's officials or by any one else. Thu particulars of tho Calchas affair were forwarded hy Dodwell A Co., the Tncotna agents ot the line, to Frank Woolsey A Co., their Portland repre sentatives, in the following telegram yesterday: "We have Just rent the following tel egram to tho postmaster general at Washington, I), U.: 'Following cable Just ncolved from Alfred Holt & Co., Liverpool.' owners o( the Rrltish steam er Cuichar, which vessol was wized by Russian Vladivostok fleet off Jainn coast about July 20: "Calchas release uppealed'againat by Russian crown ad vocate, because amongst mail mallei was Information addressed Japanese ofllcials containing financial informa tion of value to enemy.

We understand that tho Russian ctown advocate Is basing his apeal against her release on the fact that United States malla carried by the Calchas contained infor mation for Japanese ofllcials. " 'We hope tho United Slatea gov ernment will take immediate action against the conflscatin or detention of thu Calchas on account of carrying United States mail. This la certainly an outrage against the United States by tho Russian government that should not be allowed to pass.
