WASHINGTON, October 27.-The Cabinet
meeting to-day was attended by all the
members except the Postmaster-General,
who is out of the city. The session was
devoted principally to the consideration
of questions arising under the establish
ment of boundary line between the
United States and Mexico, and resulted in
the formulation of a series of instructions
to the officers engaged in that service on
behalf of this government. The question
of allowing the publication by the press Of
the annual reports of bureau officers in ad-
vance of their being submitted to Congress
was also considered, and it was decided to
leave the matter entire y to the discretion
of the heads of the respective departments
to which the bureaus are attached.

For neal eight months large share OF
the time o. the President has been de.
voted ID the hearing of spplicstions for
Office, and the determination OF appoint
ments. Much of the time thus spent has
undoubtedly subseryed the public good,
some of it has been sacrificed TO the indul-
gepce o. s,,aonle in their natural insistence
upon useless interviews, and some of it
has been unjusti6ably wasted. The puS
lie welfare and due regard for the claims
of those whose Interests in the govern
ment are entirely disconnected with office
holding, imperatively demand that in the
future the time OF the President should be
diffe emily occupied, and he confidently
expects that all good citizens will acqui-
esce in the propIiety and reasonableness
of the following plan adopted to that end.
After the first day of November the Presi-
dent will decline to grant interviews to

THE AVALANCHE.

Thirty Killed in One Day by Snow
SALT LAKE, IT., February lS.-The relief
party sent to Alta to rescue the living and
bring back those who were killed in the re-
cent snow slide, which overwhelmed that
town, returned early this morning. The
relieving party had q very trying experience
coming down the deep de6les
of the mountain side dragging
sleds on which were the bodies, sewn up in
blankets. They were beset by deep drifts
and whirling particles OF snow driven before
the bowling blasts of winter in the thin
mountain air pricked like so many needles.
Fortunately all the brave men who risked
the fatigue and dangers Of journey to save
the uniortunates buried beneath the drifts
Of the avalanche, returned without having
received serious harm. Twelve bodies were
brought down the canyon in mournful pro-
cession, single file, lsshed we'll upon sleds.
Snow slides in that neighborhood are OF
daily occurrence. One occurred last
SATURDAY. in Superior gulch,
which the survivors at Alta
felt sure resulted in the death Of Samuel
Prescott, ranger, and John White, working
there. Two men going there to see if they
were safe, got in sight Of the cabin and
tunnel when they saw the snow slide start,
and in an instant almUs, the cabin was 90
liberated in a sea Of snow.
1t is reported that man named MeDau-
iels, living south OF Alta, was killed by q
slide on Saturday. In three slides at Alta,
all of which occurred on Sunday, thirty per
sons have been killed.
