Coal Minors Out of tRoris,

PtTTsBURG Dec 1.-The river Goal trade according to leading operators has not been in such bad shape for years. Beginning at New Orleans the same story of big stocks and low prices is repeated all the way up the Mississippi and the Ohio. The result is the closing within the last four days of nearly all the largest works on the Monongahela river. Walton's three works have closed, threR wing out of employment seven hundred miners O'Neirs, Woods, Fawoett's and, ethers are also closed. Gamble and Richards men are on strike. The situation among the railroad miners is not much better than on the river and altogether the outlook is notably gloomy one for the coal men in both branches of the trade.
 A Cyclone at sea-The Rough Passage
 of German Steamship.
 PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.-The German steamship Prinz George, Captain Felde, which arrived here yesterday from Palermo, encountered cyclone during the voyage which battered ia the matches and swept over board two sailors. The cyclone made it's 3D. pearance at 4:30 o'clock in the morning, fol ioHing dead calm. The vessel had passed safely through two heavy seas, when third bore several spars from the rigging and hurl ed them on deck, breaking hole in the deck four feet square into which the sea poured fast. Several sailors tied ropes to their bodies and descending repaired the leak. While sthe hole WAS being mend ed another and still greater calamity over took the vessel. The main wheel broke two cogs, leaving the ship at the mercy of the tempest. The wheel whirlea fast around at lightning speed and could not have been ap- proached- During the excitement two sail OTIS named Sarn Hsllsen and George Canerille were swept away and lost. After hard work the ship was got safely before the wind and soon after was out of danger. One Of the passengers die in the hole. The passengers numbered nearly two hundred and were des- tined for New Orleans.

It is nc secret thai there are several Republican Sen ators who do not approve of the election of new sefeeant-at- arms. They hold that there is no valid feason for removing Colofie1 Bright. It is not probable that these Sena- tors will decline to vote for the caucus nom. inee.
 Immediately after the adjournment eau GUS of Democratic Senators WAS held at which it was decided to vote for the officers now holding the elective positions. Colonel l.. o. Washington was again selected as the Democratic caucus nominee for seer etary. Senators at varfance-A Goodness Be-
 tween Senators Vest and Pend1etOa.
 WAsHINardN, Dec. 17.-A story is current tonight that 8 decided coolness has sprung up between Senators Pendleton and Vest. The terms of the two Senators expire March 8, ,'a5 Senator Vest is said to have assumed that the Ohio statesman will not return to the Seeate and acting upon that assumption recently applied to Captain Bassett to be assigned Senator Pendleton's seat after it's vacation by that gentleman. Senator Vest now sits in fEo ovFra honk xuhiia Canaknr Pos1Ala- toms seat is very desirable one. The Ohio Senator is said to be much provoked at the action of his colleague and to entertain the opinion that it would have been more becom- ing in him to have waited until after his own selection before applying for the seat.
