Siberian mails, held up during the earlier part of the hostilities, are now beginning to trickle through to Sbanghai with encouraging regularity. On Saturday, the Nagasaki Maru brought in 217 bags from Europe via Siberia, and on Sunday the Shanghai Maru brought in 125 bags, which also came via the Siberian route. These bags were delivered as soon as possible after arrival in Shanghai, From Marseilles via Hongkong, the French mail liner Chenonceaux is expected to arrive at the Woosung anchorage at about 7 a.m. to-morrow.
