A KAOTTY PROBLEM.
What Shall Street Car Mail Serv.
 ice be Charged Toq
IT HAS PASSED EXPERIMENTAL STAGE.
Decision Must Now Be Made as to Which Division of the Postal Service Shall Bear the Cost
 of Its Maintenance.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-The quick growth of the street-car mail service, which within short period has be- come established in a number of the large cities, and from whose develop ment great results have inured in ex pediting the mails, has created a curious complication at the post office department. They are curious to know under what head the car em- ployes are to be put, and the result may be new classification providing separate designation for them. In many cases the postal crews were de- tailed from the railway mail service, and in few cases from the post office clerk force; but the mush room growth of the system has caused a serious drain on those forces, and numerous requests have been made for additional men in both services. Postmaster Perkins of Roch- ester, N. 1., accompanied by Repre- sentative Brewster, was at the post of flee department Tuesday and pointed out the results of the details to the new service and asked for more help.
 Railway mail service officials hold that the men should not be charged against them without reinforcement in number while postmasters object un- less their force is also argumented ac- cordinglv. First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, Second Assistant Shal- len berger, Superintendent of Free Delivery Machen and ex-Post- master Harlow, of St Louis, now civil-service commissioner, have conferred over the situation, and the matter is giving the authorities some concern as to what jurisdiction these employees belong. There is no specific appropriation for them, and if they do not belong to either of these services, then it is suggested money ought not to be taken from the appropriations for these services. The question is still pending, but the adjustment of the problem probably shortly will be reached.

A PiTlFUL CASE,
It Indicates a Weak Spot in Our Con sular
 ReguIatio ms.

ReguIatio ms.
 WAsHINGToN, June 24.-From Central America comes news of one of those pitiful cases that at short intervals are brought to the attention of the state department, where our great govern ment Is shown to be utterly unable to help in the slightest degree its citizens when in the depths of distress.
 James William Scandrett writes from Livingston, Guatemala, praying the secretary of state for help. He says he is an American citizen, having lived Tn San Francisco for II years, and has proofs of good character. Going to Salvador to erect machinery, he has suffered the most miserable hardships through sickness, wounds and starya- tion.
 Appeals for help to the American consul were without avail, because the official had no authority to expend money to ship the man to New Orleans. He says the British consul would have sent him home had he been an English man, and he prays the secretary for relief lest he die of hardships, as the consul says there is, unfortunately, no fund at the disposal ofthe state depart ment for the relief of destitute Ameri- cans abroad, such as the British sery- ice provides.

GORDON REELECTED.
Commander of the United Confederate Veterans Not Allowed to Retire.

Veterans Not Allowed to Retire.
 NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 24.-Gen. John E. Gordon was unanimously re- elected conmander-in- chief of the Unit ed Confederate veterans.
 It had been Gen. Gordon's full inten- tion and expressed wish to retire from the position, but the affection of the veterans for him precluded this cour se In his speech to them he said in part:
 'MR- PRESIDENT AND COMRADES Permit me with few words to return the commission with which you have honorei me for eight years and by unanimous vote. Within the next few hours you will elect my successor When this duty is performed by you I shall gladly take my place by those untitled heroes who so grandly bore the battles brunt in the stern work of war
 After referring to the rapid grow tn of the organization during the eight years since he was elected. from ten camps to more than thousand. he said:
 Tt is an army still" Mir Pr esident but an army for the bloody work of war no longer. Its banners no longer bear the flaming insignia of battle, Its weapons no longer flash defiance to the foe nor deal death to opposing ranks. us weapons are now the pen without malice, tic tongue without aspersion and history with out misrepresentation. Its aims are peaceful phllanthropic and broadly patriotic. Failing after the most desperate defensive struggle in human annals to establish their cher tshed confederacy, these high-souled sons of the south offer this record of devotion as the noblest pledge of their fealty to freedom and of their readiness to defend the republic of their fathers.
 Tn conclusion, my comrades, let me hope that the wise conservatism, the spirit of mag nanimity, which is always the brightest gem in the crown of courage will mark your career in the future as they have in the pass.
