FROM WASHINGTON. BALTIMORE MAIL FACILITIES. ASKINS TO HAVE THEM MADE BETTER The Maryland Delegation's Call upon the Postmaster-General Mississippi River improvements Other Matters. tSpocial Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, January 9.

This morning Senators Gorman and Groome and Repre sentatives Hoblltzell, Talbott, Findlay and McComas called at the Postoffice Department and bad a long interview with Postmaster- General Gresham In relation to securing better mail facilities for Baltimore. After 'l Representative McComas had Introduced each member of the rtlr.tlon torcn Col. Thompson, superintendent of the railway mall service. was invited to be presenLbecause of bis familiary with the subject. Senator Gorman said there had been very great complaint about the present mail facili ties out of Baltimore through Western Mary land.

He explained that when the Subject of increasing fast-mail facilities came up before Congress, and were appropriated for that purpose, it was generally understood in tne debate tnat sometning would oe done to benefit Balrimore by giving a fast mail South and West. Up to the present time nothing had been done in that direction, however. The people of Baltimore city and those living at points along the line or the isnenandoah Valley Railroad want an early mail train out of Baltimore. Col. Thompson explained that at the last session of Congress was appropriated for fast mail purposes.

Out of that amount only $1,8 remains unexpended or provided for. He also explained the various railroad schedules upon which mail cars are run. and said that there was no money available to give Baltimore additional mail facilities, and that relief could only be had by the aid of a special appropriation from Congress. Senater Groome remarked that the prin cipal object was to get an early mail tram out of Baltimore everv morning to carry the mail and newspapers to points west and south or Kaittmore, and to accomplish this it would be necessary to have the assistance of the Postoffice Department, as the railroads dotnot reel willing to run special trains departing in the ntgnt witnout extra compensation. Postmaster-General Gresham said: "Then what you want is a newspaper train.

If that is what you want. I am unable to help you at this time. He said further: "Will Congress continue the appropriation for this fast mail there are many members of Con gress who are opposed to it. Do you gentle men propose to tavor appropriations to con tinue mis Senator Gorman answered that at presont there was no assu ratn-e that Baltimore would be taken care of even after appropriations were made. When Congress appropriated toUO.OOQ it wasexpected that Baltimore would get what it asited: but because Postmaster-General Howe could not make terms with the Chicago railroads to run a transconti nental mail tram, narly all of the appropriation was covered back into the treasury, and the South and Wet, for whom tiie money was appropriated, were left out in the cold.

He said Baltimore was the only large city on the Atlantic coat that did not get the benefit of the fast mail facilities. The roads leading out of Baltimore are willing to do their share, but they cannot afford carry the mails without compensation. He suggested that the Postmaster-General recommend to Congress that an appropriation should be made to affect this particular case. Representatives McComas. Hoblitzell and Talbott aiso assisted in placing the Postmaster-General in possession of all the facts and details in the matter.

Representative Findlay aaid the case came upon the proposition of Mr. Hood, president of the Shenandoah Valley Railroad, on file in the department, to run a train from Baltimore to Hagerstown and back daily for $100 per day. Of this amount the department was expected to pay one-half. The Postmaster-General replied that the appropriation was exhausted, and he was powerless te act in the matter. He said he could see that an early morning train would be of great benefit to the people of Baltimore, and if Congress should make the necessary appropriation, he said he did not know any city ti.a? Deeded this kind of service as much as Baltimore.

Representative McComas asked if there was no means for supplying temporary relier until an appropriation could be secured. The Postmaster-General said there was not. Nothing coulo be done until an apppropriauon was made. The delegation withdrew with tho hope that the Postmaster-General will do ail in his power to give Kaitimore better mail facilities, prov ided he has an appropriation behind him. The Postmaster-General was requested to examine tho matter further.

Accused of Aiding a British Spv. Washington. Jan. 9. In regard to the resolution adopted yesterday by the House of Representatives calling upon the Postmaster- General to examine into the truth of the newspaper publications to the effect that a British spy, M.

Bnen, has been allowed to tamper with the American mails in New York in the office of and to the knowledge of Lnited States Postal-Inspector Iseweome, where plans were laid to entrap the unfor tunate men. some of them American citizens, recently tried and sentenced in Liverpool.

Senator Sherman's attention was called today to the report that the oflieeof president of the Northern Pacific Railroad had been tendered to him and declined. Ho said: "The office has not been tendered to me, but the matter has been men tioned me by leading stockholders and directors, and I have said that while I would gladly undertake the duties of the office, and have the highest opinion of the value and success of the road, yet I could not, with due regard to my duty to my constituents and to my colleagues in tne Senate, resign my posi tion as Senator; nor could I properly while senator act as president or tne company.

The banking and currency committee met and organized this morning. The general question of legislation to prevent a contraction of the national bank currency was brietiy discussed. Messrs. Potter. Hunt and Ermentrout, democratic members of the committee, expressed themselves as decidedly in favor of such legislation and as friends of i he national banking system.

ROBERT M. M'LANE. THE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES, THE TAKING OF THE OFFICIAL OATH. A Simple and Unostentatious Formality Interesting Scene In the Senate Cham ber Farewell of Governor Hamilton. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.l Annapolis.

Jan. 9. An overcast sky and threatening weather were the principal feat ures of the inauguration day of Gov. Robert M. McLaneat Annapolis.

The ccrempny was conducted with si in pi laity, which made it Im pressive. Gov. McLane remained at the Maryland Hotel all night, and this morning went to the executive mansion, where he had a pleasant chat with Gov. Wm. T.

Hamilton. Thinking the committee of arrangements meant to meet them at the mansion instead of in the executive cnamber, the Governors waited until a little after noon. when, being told they were to meet the committee at the state House, they proceeded to the place of appointment, where, after handshaking all around, the procession started. First came Senator John Gill and Delegate m. H.

Leirg, then Senator Edwin Warfleld and Chief Judge Richard H. Alvey. Governor Hamilton and Governor-elect McLane walked next, arm in arm. Following them were the associate judges of the Court of Appeals, Judges Oliver Miller, Levin T. H.

Irvin. John M. Robinson.Wm. Shepard Bryan and Frederick Mone. Alter the judges were the other members of the committee of arrangements.

Messrs. Charles J. Wiener and DeCourey Mitchell; Secretary of SUite James T. Briscoe and his successor. Richard C.

Hollyday. At torney-General Charles B. Roberts, Adjutant- ueneral John Wesley Watkina in undress military uniform, and Mr. Spencer C. Jones, clerk to the Court of Appeals.

were also in the procession. The rotunda of the State House was crowded with spectators, wno Tell back and allowed a wide passage to the door of the Senate cham ber. The chamber had been arranged with the view of accommodating all the ladies pos sible with seats, and all the available space necessarily limited was filled by the fair sex. Among the la lies, present wore Mrs. Gorman, mother of the Senator: Mrs.

It. Holly- day, Mrs. Lieut, dibson, Mrs. Clarke. Mrs.

Wright, Mrs. Reuben D. Jobnuon of Howard county, Mrs. Senator Hodson. Mrs senator Clark and daughter.

Among the prominent men were James G. Berrctt, Outerbridgo Horsey and A. a. Chapman. Miss Mcljine, daughter of theGovernor.and his niece did not come to Annapolis on account of the snow-storm.

Mr. Jas. L. McLane. brother of the Governor, was present.

The House of Delegates having been notified, fel in at the rear of the processiun. and crowded into the SenateehamtH.T.thesergeant-at-arms marching ahead with the mace. How all the memliers managed to get in was remark able, but they did. Everybody remained standing during the ceremony, which only occupied fifteen minutes. Behind the desk of the president were seated Gov.

McLane. Gov. Hamilton and Chief Judge Alvey. Pres ident Lloyd and Sm-akcr Thorn stood, one on each side. Ex-Gov.

Philip Francis Thomas, wno is a memneror rue uouse or ucieirafes, was the only one present, besides Gov. Hamilton, who had rilled the chair of the chief executive of the State. This was 37 years ago, and the ceremony was quite as simple as on tnis occasion, tov. 1 nomas insisting on going in alone ry tne sine door or tne rsenate. As soon as the bustlo created by the arrival of the procession had subsided.

Mr. McLane stood up and delivered hi inaugural address. Though he read it he appeared to have thoroughly memorized its sentences aud spoke them clearlv, slowly an 1 tlrmly. Gov. McLane said: Friends and Fellow- Citlzens Called by the voice of the people to the office of the Governor of Maryland, I avail of this opportunity to express my grateful sense of their favor and to acknowledge my own un worthiness.

But, gentlemen of the General Assembly, I appeal to you for support and assistance, and with the blessing of that Almighty Being who created and who rules all things, we may hope to meet tho best expectations of our constituents aud contribute to their welfare and happiness. In all free countries political parties will exist, and differences of opinion will develop, that render party government a necessity; but. however earnest may be these party contest, when the majority of the people have freely and fairly delivered judgment it is the duty of all to give the government an honorable support. Partv government Is not inconsistent with an honest, efficient and economical administration, stimulated by an enlightened and reformatory spirit, elevating the moral and intellectual character of the and fitting them for self-government, wnen thus equipped, no party will command their confidence and support that does not bring to the radministrHtmn of affairs capacity and fidelity in public trusts. The constitution of the United States.

with felicitous precision, defines the relation which the national and State governments bear to each other. "The powers not dele gated to the United States by this constitu tion, nor prohibited by It to the States, are reserved to the States respect! vely or to the people." And however parties may differ in their principles and opinions as totheirreater or less extent of the delegated powers, none should willfully violate tnese fundamental conditions or seek the support of mercenary and sectional interests to the prejudice of the just and equal rights of the whole people xne supreme oujeci ui an government. In order to promote the moral and intel lectual character and the just and equal rights of the p-ople of this State. I will heartily co-operate with the General Assem bly in maintaining and fos'enng the system of public schools already open to every nationality and race without distinction, and entirely free from all sectarian teaching or interference. I will recommend to tho conslderatian of the General AsemHy needful legislation placing greater limitations upon the hours of labor of men.

women and ehil iren engaged in certain employments in this State, and protecting their health: and providing for the organization of those trades-unions which have proved elsewhere of such benefit to workingmen; and recognizing those rights of workingmen which in less favored countrii have been long ince acknowledged by statute law; ami providing forthe collection of those statistics in relation to labor which will form a basis for future legislation and enable the oeneral AssemDiy to estaolish and preserve perrect Harmony between capital and Iator. which are absolutely dependent the one urxm the other and both intimately involved in the welfare of the State. I will recoramond further, that the General Assembly shall practice, in all its legislation, that economy which the people of this State have a right to expect. That it shall take care tnat caen person residing in the State, or holding property therein, shall contribute his proportion of public taxes according to his actual worth, in real and personal property; and in the exercise of its powers, under the fifteenth article of our bill of riuhts.it shall so lay those duties and taxes, which it is authorized to impose, as to lessen the heavy burden now resting fin the land. I will recommend further amendment of the election laws, to insure prompt returns and to prevent bribery, and limit money expenditure at primary or at regular elections.

These and other measures in the interest of the commerce and trade of the State, and for the payment of the State debt as it matures, which I may deem necessary and expedient for the consideration of the General Assembly, I will submit for their judgment, promising a cordial land earnest co-operation in contributing to the welfare and happiness of the people. In conclusion Mr. McLane said: "Now, Mr. Chief Justice, I am ready to take the oath." The Governor read the oath aloud as it was administered and subscribed to it and kissed the Bible, which Judge Alvey presented. The ceremony was over, and Governor McLane descended to trie floor or the Senate, where he received the congratulations of everybody.

Mr. McLane then repaired to the executive chamber, where, free from the crowd. Gov. Hamilton said: "Your Excellency, the last formal duty for me is to deliver into your possession the archives of the State. In doing this I beg to express the sincere wish that every measure of success will attend upon your administration." To which Governor McLane replied: "I am very much indebted to you.

Governor, for your kind wishes, and can only express the hope that when I retire I shall possess, as you do, the respect of my fellow-citizens." The other gentlemen present also congratulated Gov. Hamilton upon his successful reform administration. Gov. Hamilton said good-by to all pleasantly, adding. "1 could not please everybody, but I have tried to do the best I knew how." He dined with Governor McLane before leaving Annapolis on the afternoon train for Hagerstown.

Gov. McLane stated that he would have no reception at the executive mansion. It was an unusual thing, he said, until late years, and he would go back to the old system. Tho nomination of Mr. Hollyday for secretary of State will be sent to the Senate tomorrow.

Mr. Briscoe acting in the meantime. Gov. Hamilton's last business with the Senate consisted in sending in the nomination of Judire Alvey on Tuesday for chief judge of the Court of Appeals, and the reception today of the Senate's favorable action. The last document he signed was a message transmitting the report of the Shepherd Asylum trustees to the Legislature.
