FoR BETTER MAIL SERVICE.
Bangor Merchants Win Appeal to the
Post Office Authorities.

The merchants of Bangor, have been
engaged in correspondence with General
Manager Evans of the Maine Central in
an attempt to secure an improvement
in mail service. Under 1.-THE present ar
rangement the mail which leaves Bos-
ton in the morning and Portland at noon
does not reach Bangor until 4.S0. The
Bangor petitioners sought to secure from
the railroad train service which would
reach Bangor by 8 p. m. Mr.. Evans re-
piled that 1t would not be safe to run the
present train any faster than at present
and that there is not business enough to
warrant the running OF another train.
This was shown in the winter Of 1875
when such a train was run at loss to
the company. That winter, so far as Mr..
Evans can learn, was the only one during
which the mail has been received at Ban
gor earlier than at present He suggested
to the Bangor petitioners that the matter
be laid before the postoffice authorities,
saying that if the government would pay
for train the road would, of COURSE be
glad to furnish it. This course will be
followed. Soma Bangor people are now
pinping their hopes on the opening OF
the Washington County railway. They
believe that the Maine Central will then
find 1t profitable to send train into
Bangor early enough in the day to con-
nect with a train to Calais ovnr the new
road, arriving at Calais at $50 p. m, af-
ter five hours run. Under this arrange
ment the mail would reach Bangor by

HANNA's RECEPTION.
Accorded an Ovation at Cleveland d--Foraker
 Sends His Congratulations.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 13.-Senator Hanna was received in this city this afternoon upon his return from Columbus with en- thusiasm far greater than that which has been accorded any public man in this city in a decade. Long before the trains ar rival thousands gathered upon the streets and began to line the sidewalks. At noon the Tippecanoe club, the Business Mems league and the Republican Shop clubs gath cred in front of the Masonic building on Superior street and formed for parade. Half the town turned out to see them. Headed by a brass band, they marched to the depot, where Senator Hanna was met. He was escorted to carriage and rode to the Hollenden with James H. Hoyt.
 The senator was Justify cheered along the line of march. many business houses practically suspending business for the time being. A public hand-shaking recep- ton occurred. In the lobby of the Hollen-

COMMERCE COMMISSION
Announced lis Decision on ReasonabIeness of
 Rates on Fertilizer.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The interstate com merce commission today in an opinion by Commissioner Prouty, announced it's de- cision in the case of the Savannah Bureau of Freight and Transportation ct al, against the Charleston and Savannah Railway company, ct al. The case involves the reas- onableness of rates on fertilizers from Sa- vannah, Ga, to points in Georgia, Ala bama and Florida, and the lawful relation of such rates to charges from Charleston and other points to like destinations.
 The commission decides:
 Q) That defendants present differential of 50 cents more per ton from Charleston than from Savannah to points in Georgia other than common points is not unreason- able or prejudicial to Savannah.
 O. That charging the same rate from Charleston over the defendants all rail lines to points in Florida in connection with ocean and rail competition from Savannah and Charleston Is not unlawful.
 (3) That a lower differential as between Savannah and Charleston on fertilizers to points in Alabama reached by the Alabama Midland railway than the differential es- tablished as between those cities on fertiliz CTS to points in Georgia does not appear justified, and that sufficient difference is not made in rates to some stations in Flcri- da and defendants are advised to adjust such rates in accordance with suggestions stated with leave to compliments to ap- ply for an order if such adjustment is not made.

GERMAN PRESS EXCITED
Over the Discussion of Joint hng German
 Loan 10 China.

Bcrlin Jan 13.-nhe press is greatly ex- cited in the discussion of the Chinese loan over the idea of a Joint Anglo-German loan. The suggestion is eagerly welcomed and since it was mooted a distinctly friend Mer tone toward England has been adopted
 Prince Bismarcks saying is recalled that 1t would be foolishness to regard the Eng fish as fools in business matters.
 The papers are beginning to recognize that financial influence is far better than the occupation of a Chinese bay. While there Is no more probability than hitherto that the government would be willing to guarantee a loan, the papers certainly en- courage German houses to negotiate with English firms for a joint issue loan.
 The East Asiatic Correspondence, jour- nal credited with intimate relations with the Chinese embassy, announces that after the failure of Li Hung Chang, China placed the loan negotiations in the hands of Sir Robert Hart (director of the Chin csc imperial maritime customs) whose ef- forts to place a loan in London secured by the salt monopoly, offer ever promise of being successful The paper adds that fresh taxution is being planned in China where the taxation rate is now only two shillmgs per head as against three shil- lings per head in India, plenty of revenue thus being available. With respect to the Anglo-Russian agreement as to Corea, the East Asiatic Correspondence says:
 An agreement is probable on the basis of Russia controlling the commerce and McLeayey Brown, for some time superin- tendent of customs at Seoul, succeeding Sir Robert Hart"
