QUA ACTING PRESIDENTS.
Ihree Cohiset O0eors to Whom Presiden

Cleveland Delsgases His Power
One of the questions that puzzled that
very inquisitive visitor. Ii Hung Chang.
was how this government could posi-.
bly, run along in the absence from the
national capital of most OF the chief
executive officers. His traditional in.
stincts and education, no matter how
FURNISHED up by intercourse with west
ern civilization, still left him ASSOCIATE
ing the rule of the great Chinese empire
with the presence of the "Son of Heav-
en- in Picking, and carried out the same
idea in regard to the presence of the
ruler Of the United States in Washing
ton. Lis embarrassment on this ques-
ton was not unreasonable. and those
he questioned on the subject were just
as unable to satisfy his curiosity as
probably the majority of the general
public would be. The fact IL that,
though the president of the United
States in recent years has frequently
been absent from the capital in the
summer months, the nation is never
left without an acting executive there.
The practice, begun by Mr.. Cleveland
during his term, and closely followed
by Mir. Harrison. and again adopted
by Mr.. Cleveland in his second term.
has been to designate scme special
cabinet officer as the acting executive.
He has full powers to represent tie
president in the event of any unfore-
seen emergency arising in our relations
with any foreign power; this power was
notably exercised by Secretary Blaine
in the settlement Of the Italian incident
growing out of the Malta lynchings in
New Orleans.
President Cleveland has three cabinet
officers to whom he delegates this pow
Secretary Olney, of the state de-
partment; Secretary Carlisle. of the
treasury. and Secretary Lamont. of the
war department. There has never been
a time during the long summer when
one of these three men have not been on
deck. When Olney went away. Carlisle
stayed. When Carlisle WENT to Maine,
Lamont went back. If any emergency
arises calling for executive action, tie
other cabinet officers consult the mon
ON deck. Mr.. Carlisle usually holds
these conferences at his house, and 50
also docs Secretary Lamont. who rare
" visits the war department in the dali
season, and then only for few minutes
at time. Mr.. Lamont is in charge now.
If Lord Salisbury. through Ambassador
Bayard, should cable an inquiry abo1t
the Venezuelan arbitration. the reply
would go out from the state depart
ment in the name Of the president. put
would be written by Secretary Lamont.
Of course, after communicating with
Gray Gables. if the exigency seemed to

ASpalsa to slespsag Cars.
Steering oh air il the latest innova-
ton i'm railway travel. The uae Uf
compressed air for that purpose will,
in the estimation Of railway men,
eventually revoltitionixe railway favel
and relegate the familiar and some
what clumsy Wagner and Pullman
sleeping cars to the background.
At present the only car completely
fitted with compressed air cushions and
beds is the private car Of Vice President
]. N. Schoonmaker, Of the Pittsburgh
4 Lake Erie railroad. These have been
found, however, to be not only practic-
able. but to possess so many advantages
over the accommodations of ordinary
sleeping and parlor cars that a number
Of roads are having similarly fitted ones
constructed, and before long they will
be in general use on many Of the great
trunk lines Of the country.
Co. Schoonmaker's car was built
after the plans of L. F. Ruth. the IN
ventor Of the latest system Of car fur
nishing. In appearance it does not diff
fer externally from the ordinary car
chair. This II explained by the 1act
that instead Of the usual upholstering
the chair cushions are filled with com.
pressed ait, which lessons. in a great
degree, to the occupant the jol:ing and
jarring of the car when in motion.
During the day mo- one would for q
moment suppose that he was riding in
. sleeping car, and 1t is not until the
day coach il transformed into a sleep
er that the possibilities of the use Of
compressed air in this direction are
fully realized.
The transformation il effected in this
wise. First the air in the chair cush-
ions is exhausted, the light framework
folded up and slipped into an open
ing in the side Of the car. Thus all the
seats in the car are disposed of, and it il
ready for the beds.
The panels on either side of the win
dows open outward like . door. On
the inside Of these panels is 4 metal
track over which il drawn a steel
spring-like arrangement. which sup
ports the bed. Fitting closely against
the side of the car and concealed during
the day by the closed panels is rubber
bag folded after the fashion Of IN &C.
Gordon.
BY turning . valve connected with q
storage tank beneath the car COM
pressed air il admitted into the rubber
bag, which initiates and forces itself
outward from the sides Of the car until
it rests upon the steel framework, and
the bed is ready to be made up. The
head and foot of the bed are panels,
which also fit into the side Of the car.
When the berth or bed is not desired
for use another valve is turned, and the
air in the mattress expelled. The mat.
tress itself assumes the appearance Of
an empty rubber bag, and is drawn
back against the side closed and the
sleeping car is once more ready to be-
come the parlor car for the day trav-
eler.
One great advantage claimed for
these appliances is that they can be 1T
