FEENCM AND ENGbhsH MISSIONS.
Gov. Noyes aud Gen. Banks Retire In
Coed order.
Especial to the world.l
WASHINGTON, March Sit has been
reported that President Hayes had de-
termined to appoint Coy. Noyes, OF
Ohio, to the French mission, but it is
believed by those who should know
that the French and English missions
Noyes, who has been q staunch ally to
Gev. Hayes, will doubtless, however,
get some good thing. Gen. Banks
wanted the French mission, but has
concluded not to take 1t now that Mas
sachusetts has received Cabinet ap-
pointment.
NEW FISHING GROUNDS.
Important discoveries by Professor HIND
ON the coast OF Labrador.
Correspondent OF the World.l
ST. JoHN's, N. f., March 1.-Professo-
Hind, of Windsor, Nova Scotia, visited
the coast Of Northern Labrador last
summer, and on his return drew up a
report on the fishing grounds Of that
region for our government. So much
importance Is attached to his explora-
tions that our government has engaged
his services for next summer, when he
will make more extended examination
Of this new region, which promises to
yield q rich sea harvest. From q table
inserted In his report, the Professor
shows that the area of the Northern
Labrador fishing grounds alone, ex-
elusive Of the banks, amounts to about
five-siXths Of the whole area of the
British and French boat fishery on the
coast Of Newfoundland, being $500
square miles, the total area OF the New
foundland boat fishery being 1904
square miles. In addition to this, the
Professor showed that, outside the
islands, there are numerous banks and
shoals which fern the great spring and
summer feeding-grounds Of the cod.
The. area OF this immense range Of
banks cannot be even approximately
here will be the great fishing-gr
OF the future. For some years the
shore fishery on these coasts has been
declining, and even the Great Bank Of
Newfoundland Is not what it was in
former years. The Arctic ice which
spreads around the Labrador coast
never fails to bring q perennial supply
of food to the cod, so that the fish can
never be starved out, as in other re-
gions.

WASHINGTON, March e.-It seems that
Packard has been offered some such
position as collector OF the port at New
Orleans IL he drops his pretences to the
Governorship. A telegram to the Herald
te.day states that Packard replied to
such a promise that with him 1t was
Governor or nothing. TO settle the
Louisiana case by recognizing Nichols,
Hayes friends are willing to do great
deal for the Packard crowd in official
patronage. kilograms have been re-
eeived here to-day by the Louisiana
Conservatives asking who Hayes wanted
elected Senator by the Nichols Govern
ment. -....F
Ben Butler called on the President to-
day and gave him to understand that
the Essex statesman was with him In
his new policy. He said that IL Blaine,
Morton, or any OF those who are oppos-
ing the President, had themselves been
elected, they might declare the policy
Of the administration. Ben says that
Hayes Is in. however, and his policy
must be given a trial, at least.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-Senator Eus-
tis, of Louisiana, whose credentials are
now before the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, has no Republican CON
testant; and the Senate having decided
that Pinchback, who claimed this seat,
was not chosen senator, it would seem
that Mr. Eustis, who was elected by the
legislature resulting from the Wheeler
compromise, ought to be admitted, but
the organization OF the Senate commit
tee gives little hope of favorable action
in his case.
It is stated that the President con-
templates no change in the personnel OF
the minor Offices Of the Government,
except where such changes would in
sure increased efficiency in the perform
ance Of public business. There will be
some changes in the foreign missions,
and few in the consular service. In
the Department of Justice, the United
States marshals in the South will be
most effectually overhauled. This will
form part of the execution OF the Presi-
dents Southern policy. The Interior
Department, which, from the time OF
its organization, has been a wide fe.d
of corruption, will also receive a.
thorough investigation, with a view OF
remedying the evils. This applies par
ticularly To the Indian bureau. Secre-
