The Maine Central Postal Cars Better
Equipped than Those on she Heavier
Roads,

1t may seem strange to most people says the Ban
gor Commercial, who have read our accounts of the
superior postal cars on the Maine Central that
this road should be more finely equipped in the
mail service than scores of heavier loads and run
nothing but costly cars. 1t is from the fact Of a
difference in the service. The recent built postal
and in fact, all that are used over The roads
this side Of Boston are completely equppfd 4 strib
uting pOstofdces on wheels. The u. s. postal COM
mission have ascertalned the peculiar needs of the
service in Maine, New Hampshire and q part Of
Massachusetts and themselves order the construct
ion OF these cars on the most convenient plan The
mails are contributed at all points along the line
and the vast majority of the hags are thrown on
without any assortment of letters, even with refer
ence to the different States to say nothing OF the
hundred or more pOstotiices between here and Bos-
In order that each of the intervening stations
between the distributing offices may have its mail
that put on at the preceding stations when the
train comes t must be assorted and placed In the bag
before it is thrown Off Otherwise all Of the bags
contributed by the different offices would be carried
to the distributing offices in the large cities where
the mail would be first assorted and then sent book
to the places where it is directed. As it is no bag
is put off at station until all the mail that came
at the preceding stations belonging to that Office
is inserted. The arrangement of the postal cars,
therefore, is necessarily intricate and tho construct
ion must be correspondingy elaborate. On the
large trunk lines there is this difference. The
through mails are made up in the large city offices
and shipped directly through, as from Chicago TO
go to Boston, without being opened. For this pur-
pose freight cars would answer for transportation
as well or better than cars built with compartments
aud tables. What is called for Is unobstructed
room where the mail bags cau be stacked up as so
much merchandise.
A mail car is about 70 feet in length and permits
of only certain amount of inside room. When this
must b0 used both for the through mails and the To-
cal bsusiness, on the Maine Central space has to
be eoonomzed as is not necessary when the through
mails sent in a separate Thus the whole of
the room in the distributing is thrown open to
the local pos al business and vast number OF the
special equipments on the new Maine Central mail
cars become unnecessary.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Mr. Blaine Much Pleased with Kim, and
Thinks Republicans in Congress should
RuDuOrt Him.

The Washington Star prints the following
statement:
MI Blaine was very we'll pleased with Mr..
Cleveland, and after his call q few days ago,
when hs saw mis- successful rival for the first
time, he expressed the opinion that the new
administration would be a success. He thinks
Mr.. Cleveland meant every word he said 10 his
inaugural, and that he is not to be moved or
shaken in his determination by any amount Of
political pressure. Mr.. Blaine feels friendly
towards Mr.. Cleveland, and thinks 1t will be
the duty Of the Republicans in Congress to
give him every possible backing in carrying
out the policy he has laid down.
A large majority of the Republicans agree
with Mr.. Blaine in this. They expect to see
many Democrats repudiate Cleveland il he
lives up to his promises. They expect to see
large faction of Democrats opposing him in
Congress next winter and they have dstermin-
ed that they will stand by him. There is no
disposition in the Senate to oppose any nomi-
nations he may send in, except upon such
grounds as they would oppose them II sent in
by Republican President, and they will treat
all his recommendations with respect.
Leading Republicans, who form the opinions
and policy OF their party in the House, say
that, from what they can judge OF his policy
at this time, and from his public declarations,
they do not expect Mr.. Cleveland to follow
any line of action which would not receive
their endorsement and hearty support. Should
there be split IN the Democratic party grow
ing out of the discomfort of those Democrats
who looked ior a complete revolution of affairs
when the Democratic President came into
power, Republicans say they will rush into the
breach and support Cleveland. Moreover, il
Democrats oppose the new administration In
the House two years hence, when the next
congressional election comes off the Republic
cans will make that an issue in the campaign,
and try to beat the snti-Cleveland- -anti-ciVil-
seryiee.reform men, on the grounds th at they
are more interested in the spoils than In honest
government. The Republicans are united in
this, and they will be found in the next Con-
gress to stand with Cleveland in every thing,
except it may be the tariff, and they don't
know how he stands on that.

One of the best ministers we ever had
abroad was Elihu B. Washburne at Paris.
He made more of a mark for himself in mod
ern times than any other minister we have
sent to Europe. Yet Washburne was the
hero of an incident of social misfortune
which would have driven any of the delicate
creatures now swarming after foreign
place to commit suicide If they had been
similarly unfortunate. Washburne was one
evening at a court dinner given by Napoleon
III. 1t was the custom at these dinners,
when the empress arose to retire with the
ladies', for the gentlemen to rise from their
seats and step back from the table, so that
she could pass down the line between them
By this all could avoid turning their backs
upon the empress. Washburne had very
tender feet. During the dinner his feet
gave him a good deal Of annoyance. To
ease himself he had quietly slipped off his
patent leather pumps under the table, He
was absorbed in conversation toward the
close of the dinner, aud was caught una
wares when the empress made the signal for
departure. He was suddenly obliged TO
step back without having time to put on his
pumps. He stood in his stocking feet,
grave, dignided and self possessed. In the
row of grinniDg diplomats who stood at his
right and left, he betrayed none Of the en-
barrassment he must have felt, and was
never heard to allude to the incident by any

Great Excitement Prevailing in San

Decisive Action Expected Very Soon.

LA LIBERTAD, San Salvador, March 25.-The ex-
citement occasioned by the reports that President
Barrios was approaching the city of San Salvador
continues to increase. 1t is believed here by those
who are In position to be well informed that de-

passed. Reports in circulation everywhere repre-
sent the invading army as vastly superior that
San Salvador
WASHINGTON, d. G., March 25.-News is receiv-
ed here from Central America that President Zaldi-
var of San Salvador is at Santa Ana on the Guate
maa frontier, with 10000 men, ready to meet and
check the advance of Barrios and his equally large
force.
Gen. Fernandez. of Costa Rica. yesterday entered
Nicaragua with large force to aid the Nicaraguans
in opposing Barrios.
Mexico has, meanwhile, withdrawn her legation
from Guatemala, and will probably give the Guate-
malesn minister his passports soon.
The Star tonight has the following:
"Before Rear Admiral Jewett. commander Of the
North Atlantic station, left Washington today to
Join the flagship at New Orleans he spoke very free
ly of the impending troubles in Central America,
and OF the necessity for some action on the part
this government to protect its interests and assert
its rights. Revolutions in Panama which occur
with Unprecedented frequency he considered close
Iy connected with the warlike movements Of Presi-
dent Barrios and attributed both to the Inspiration
ana 1nstigation of the French. "We'n have to take

do not intend to be walked over rough shod. The
French are going to do everything in their power to
prevent the construction of any canal but the Pan
anna canal and in my opinion Barrios' movements
are not made Of his own accord, but you will find
the french are at the bottom of it, and they will
stay at the bottom until the time comes to come to
the top, and then they will come and we had better
look out. Now look at that Panama canal. The
French have spent millions, and intend to spend
millions more, and they do not intend it shall bs
wasted To this end they have secured the owner
ship OF nearly the whole of the Panama railroad
and on that little strip of land less than fifty miles
wide they have amassed $4,000 workmen. Do YOU
suppose there are no French army officers on the
lsthmus of Panama among those workmen? And
DO you suppose every move we make, or rather that
we don't make is not known in France immediate.
