The long delayed trans-Siberian mail for Shanghai has arrived at last. The N.Y.K, s, Shanghai Maru brought 298 bags of mail yesterday morning from Nagasaki, and of that amount about 120 bags come from Europe and England via Siberia. The Post Office stated yesterday that it should all be delivered by this evening, The small party that went down to Wayside Wharf to get the long-coveted sacks which have been expected ever since early August, consisted of M.A.M. Chapelain, Director of Posts, and Messrs. C. C. O'Connell and H. A, Reeks representing the Shanghai Municipal Council., The party went down in a lighter from the Bund to make sure there would be no further delays in the delivery of that mail.
When the next batch of trans-Siberian mail will arrive is a matter of uncertainty, but it is expected that mail on this route should arrive irregularly now over the new route whereby it is shipped from Dairen to Nagasaki and from there to Shanghai in the rapid transit liners Shanghai Maru and Nagasaki Maru which are coming in regularly to the company's Wayside Wharf.
Not all the accumulated trans-Si berian mail arrived in yesterday'
