The POSTAL CAR QUESTION AS 1T Now
STAsDs-President Hinckley, of the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore railroad
did not carry out his expressed threat of with
drawing the postal cars on his line to-day. He
has generously concluded now to wait until
Monday next, hoping in the meanwhile that the
Post Office department will realize the folly OF
its course In persisting to refuse his dem and for
Q compensation larger than that allowed by
law. Assistant Railway Superintendent Cum
mtngs had an interview with him yesterday In
Philadelphia, when Mr.. Hinckley said he would
continue to perform postal car service until
Monday, the Sd instant. IT Ia still generally be-
heved that he will not withdraw his ears at
all, and 1t Is regarded - remarkable at the
in demanding more than the department Is
allowed by act or Congress to pay him. Certain
IL Is that there is no intention on the part Of the
Postmaster General Of scceding to his terms, as
it could not be done withouta plain and hsgrant
violation OF law. Surprise is expressed at Mr..
Hinckleys course by those acquainted with
the circumstances, especially because for
weeks past he has invariably evaded saying
exactly what he intends TO do. He has
been asked to tell the department whether
he win or will not perform postal car service,
but in no single case has he ans wered definitely,
but has made various impracticable PROPOSE
tors, sc. The position he assumes in his last
communication 10 that n the department seuds
postal cars to his road after to-day, and he takes
them over his line, he viii take ft for granted
that he viii be paidon his own terrns. viz: mills
per linear foot Of car space. Mr.. Bangs, general
superintendent Of the railway service, who is
In Philadelphia, will try to see Mr.. Hinck.
ley to-day, and use his best endeavors 20 get
him to say fairly and squarely whether he will
perform the service or not. should he decline
to do 70, other arrangements for the TRANSMITS
sion Of the mails from Philadelphia to Balti-
moro win be made at once. 1t Is probable tho
