Afterwards ha devoted himself to a chat with Senator Hale, Both gentlemen went to the rear of the train when Bangor was reached about half-past five o'clock, while a salute was being fired. The depot platform was packed with humanity. So great, indeed, was the orowd that hundreds of the people could not get a glimpse of President Harrison till the train moved off again. Congressman Boutelle, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Mayor Bragg, ex-Governor Davis and other prominent gentlemen chatted pleasantly with the President for a minute or so. Mr. Hamlin said: “The arrangements ought to have beeu so that we could have extended to you the hospitality that is in our hearts.” Congressman Boutelle introduced the President to the multitude, who gave three rousing cheers. The Presideut shook hands with those fortunate enough to reach him, and was again cheered as the train rolled away. The run from Waterville to Bangor— fifty-five miles—was made in sixty-two minutes. A new engine, lavishly decorated and bearing at its front a framed portrait of the Presideut, was taken on at Bangor. The train reached Ellsworth on time. Accompanied by Senator Hale the President passed to the rear platform, where he was greeted by another sea of upturned faces. The mayor of the city au d Judge Emery, of the Supremo Court, were pers lly introduced aud more handshaking was indulged in. Save an occasional cheer as the train dashed through a station or past a field, there was nothing oat of the ordinary until Mt. Desert ferry was reached. There another crowd was mot. and It was a great one, considering the size of the place. Secretary Blaine, who had come over on a special boat from Bar Harbor, walked along the platform among the people, and, stepping into the private car, greeted the President He was followed closely by Congressman Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts., With but a few moments’ delay, the President and Mr. Blaine, followed by th> others of the party, left the cars and walked through the crowd to the steamer Sappho, which was gaily decorated. On arriving at the wharf at Bar Harbor, a salute was fired by the revenue cutter Woodbury, and was re-echoed from the yachts iu the harbor, must of which were prettily decorated. At the same time the crowds on the wharf sent up rousing cheers and the band played a spirited air.

l ue rresiueni ana nr. mains wtuteu arm and arm along the wharf to the street, where the carriages were in wait, ing. While the livery carriage containiagsthe President and Mr. Blaine was turning a corner it ran into another carriage and a wheel of the latter vehicle was smashed. Mr. Walker Blaine, Mr. Halford and Mr. Lodge followed in a carriage drawn by Mr. Blaine’s horses, and a number of other carriages fell in behind, making quite a procession through the main street, while the piaxxas of the hotels were filled with on-lookers. Many of the buildings were decorated, and at several points along the ronte cheers for the visitors were raised. Bat when the procession turned out of Main street to proceed to8tanw d, Mr. Blaine’s cottage, the streets contained no crowds and few decorations. On reaching the cottage the President and party were welcomed by Mrs. Blaine, and quickly made themselves at home. Last evening the President dined quietly with the Blaine family, and rested from the fatigues of the day. Just what he will do to-day is a little uncertain, but it is expected that he will take luncheon with Aulick Palmer, dine with Mr. Blaine and in the evening enjoy the hospitalities of the Canoe Club. A visit to Moosehead lake, and a popular reception at Bar Harbor are among the features in prospect BetraveO HU Treat. Haw York.

CAPITAL NEWS. The Question of Sunday Work In the Poetsi Service Enpacing the Attention of the Post-Ofttoe Departmeat-The Cantos Which Decimate the Army Recolvlng Attention—Surgeon-General Hamilton Says there la No Yellow raver at Tam(Moo. SUNDAY WORK IS TBS POSTAL RKRV1CB. Washinoton, Ang. 13.—The question ot Sunday work In the Government postal service is seriously engaging the attention of post-office officials. The question is not new to the Department. Fifty years ago it was considered, and since that tin* various rulings and orders relating t" Sunday work by Government postal employes have been made. These orders have Jwen as different as they have been numerous, no two of thembeing alikg With the growth of the postal service,Sunday work had increased, and how to avoid working on Sundays, and at the same time supply the demands of the pnblio, is a problem which to-day seema to be no nearer solution than it was years ago, or at any time since the question first attracted the attention ot postoffice offlcitils. There seems to he a direct conflict between the religious and business elements ot the oonntry In urging a settlement of this question. The former have demanded, through petitions, letters and appeals, that Sunday work in the postal service should S reduced to a minimum, while j business element have constantly* prged increased postal facilities rogdY^leea of whether the work was performed oil Sundays or week days. This question of Suudsv work was prominently brought to the attention of postoffice officials during the administration of Mr. Cleveland and when Mr. Vilas was Postmaster-General. Congress had passed a law providing that letters having a special delivery stamp on them should be immediately delivered on their receipt at any poet-office in the United State# where the free-d#livery system was in operation, This was construed by Mr. Vilas io mean that this class of letters should lie delivered seven days in the week (on Sundays as wall as on week days), and he issued instructions tf> that effect. Them there immediately arose a clamor from religious bodies throughout the country against the desecratiou jtfhe Sabbath, and petitions and memornff^iled in to the Post-Office Department by the thousands asking that the instrnctions he revoked. On the other hand, the business meu of the country heartily'snpported the innovation. The sentiment a,gainst Sunday work "was so strong, so respectable, and so earnest, that President Cleveland took the matter under consideration, and the instrnctions of Mr. Vilas were withdrawn and postmasters left to their discretion in carrying out the special delivery law on Sundays. It remains in that condition to-day. In some cities this class of letters are not delivered at all on Sunday; in others only during a few hotMte of the day, and in no two cities are «■ deliveries made at the aame hour. Thl^^ whole question of Sunday work, special letter delivery, window-dSlivery, railway postal-car work, star-route and steamboat routes, will be taken up and. considered by Postmaster-General Wauamaker in all its different phases on his return from his vacation. Post-office officials look forward to its settlement with interest, but because of the conflicting interests involved, hardly expect a solution of the question that will be satisfactory to * the religious element, the business element and the Government itself. , DSSCRTIONS FROM THK ARMY. Washington, Aug. 12.—Army officers of late have been looking Into the causes which decimate the army. Late statistics show that desertions are on the increase. During the six months ending Juno 30, 1880, the records show an increase of 85$ over the number reported for the corresponding period of last year. For the first six months of the present yenr there were 1,467 desertions, against 1,209 for the same period of 1888. Fully seven-eighths of the desertions took plaoe during the first year of enlistment. The importance of these figures is appreciated by General Schofield and AdjutantGeneral Kelton, each of whom have given the subject much thought and disoussion lately, and some plan of action which will look toward the modification of the existing Articles of War wilt receive their earnest advocacy and be presented to Congress.

The numerous desertions, especially from the larger army posts, are the source of much anxiety to the officials in the War Department, and they will strike at the root of the evil if snob a thing is possible. Quite a number of officers believe that one of the beat ways to break up desertions in the army would be to put a stop to the soldier doing so much extra work. When a man enters the army he expects to become a so ldier. When he finds that in addition to his duty as a soldier he has to do all the work around the garrison and officers’ quarters, the soldier feeling dies out and he deserts at the very first opportunity—generally In the first year of his enlistment A decrease in the number of useless calls now prevalent at army posts will also, it is said, result In fewer desertions. NO YXLLOW FEVKR AT TAMPICO Washington, Aug. 11.—Surgeon-Gen-eral Hamilton of the Marine Hospital Service bae received the official report of Dr. Combe, who was sent to Tampico, Mex.. to investigate the reports of yellow fever at that port. Dr. Combe reports as follows: I called upcn the United States Consul, who emphatically denied the report that the disease prevailed there, as did the profession. I was shown the hospitals, civil and military. I examined the records and made as thorough an examination as possible. On all sides I was met with the assurance of the non-existenqp of yellow fever, la any of its forms, in this section of the country. The members of the Board of Health here say that yellow fever has not been seen here, to their knowledge, since the epidemic of 1W8 and 187*. when it was Imported from New Orleans. At present there is not a suspieioa of a sporadic ease of yellow fever in Tampico. This is surprising, as this olty is in constant communication with Vera Crux, where the disease is said to annually prevail. Malaria abounds here, owing to the negligence the natives and lower classes, who supersUUously flee from medical attention and advice. _' Horrible Heath or a Young Maa Near Bowie, Hd.
