W, C. Hickman. assistant general super
inteadent OF tho United States railway
mail service. with Office Of the second as
sigtant postmaster general AT washington
after spending day In the city has re-
turned 10 Washington. He had confer
ence with Captain j. c. Baldwin. who has
the contract for carrying the mails be-
tween the depot and the postosaee. The
object o. his visit 10 the city was for the
purpose OF arranging for the use Of the
regulation government mail wagon be-
tween the 1epots and the postoface. and
a. a big amount 9f mail handed here
renders s2ch wagon necessity, no
doubt his report to the department will
favor that Idea. These wagons are COW
cred and renders the transfer OF mails
very much safsr than the open wagons
now in use here.
