Rescued Passengers.

Quebec, Nov. 10-Later advices from.

point, are all safely landed, and some

points along the coast, while others are
housed in tshermen's huts at Fox bay.

telegraphed for immediate assistance,
and bis request was forwarded to the
authorities at Ottawa. The reply said
the government steamer Napoleon III
would be sent to the rescue. The steamer
would proceed from hera tomorrow at l
p. M, and 1t will take two days to reach
the wreck. She will take a full supply
of stores and provisions, in case
none can be had from the steamer
As far as can be learned the
engine room and Nos. one and two
heads are filled with water, as she is
leaking. Her position is presumably u
bad one, and on account of the rugged
nature of the coast it is generally be-
lieved the vessel will be q total wreck.
The weather since she went ashore has
been a succession of heavy northeast
gales and binding snow storms, and if
no provisions have been saved great pri.
vations will be experienced by the pas
sengers and crew, as the supply at Fox
Bay will be drawn upon by the crew of
the steamer TitaDIa, which went ashore
near there on the 4th inst. The Brooklyn
had a crew of about seventy and forty
passengers, OF which only three were
saloon passengers. The amount of her
insurance cannot be ascertained. She
had a general cargo for Quebec, Mon
treai and the west. The Brooklyn is an

First Assistant Postmaster General
Stevenson has submitted to the post
master general his annual report upon
tue operation Of his bureau for the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1885. The whole
number Of poatofiees at the end of the
fiscal year was 51.252. The number of Off
ces subject to appointments by the presi-
dent Of presidential grade was 2,233,
and the number subject to appoint
ment BY the postmaster general, fourth
class. was 1903. Tho whole number
OF appointments during the year
was 1928, made up as follows: On
designations and commissions expired,
6,2o4;; removals and suspensions, $40;
changes OF names and sites, 207; deaths
OF postmasters, 412; establishment OF
new offices. 2.221. The number Of
changes in postmasters during the year
was less than the preceding year, and
the large decrease in the number of cases
acted upon during the year rs compared
with the preceding year was due, says
Gen. Stevenson. to the fact that very
few changes were made in these Offices
during the winter months.

HOW HE DOES IT.
The Presidents Way of Preparing
His Annual Message.

Presidents Way of Preparing
His Annual Message.
Washington Nov. 9-Mr. Cleveland |
spent this evening with Secretary Man
ming going over the annual reports Of
the treasury department.. This is the
presidents method of preparing for
writing his own message. He spent
over q week with Secretary Whitney
going over reports of the navy depart.
ment, and it is understood that recon.
mendatlons for that department will oc-
cupy q large portion of the message.
The rebuilding of the navy and the ad-
lustment of the Roach contracts will
receive thorough attention. The eve.
nings OF this week will probably be oc-
cupied IN the examination of treasury
department matters. What will be
said IN regard to silver can
not be spoken of with authority,
but u gentlemen who has had
some conversation with the president
believes 1T is his intention to urge that
the silver dollar be increased il weight
and made equivalent to gold. After the
treasury department reports have been
examined MIR. Lamar will be invited to
spend his evenings with the president.
The affairs of the interior department
will receive more attention probably
than those of any other department.
The president has already indicated his
intention to treat the Indian question
radically. He believes that the Indian
must be made to rely on himself more
and the government less. The posses
sion of lands in severalty approves itself
to his Judgment, and he viii recommend
a more economical method of distribut-
ing supplies to such tribes as must re-
ceive government aid. The reports of
MIR. Montgomery, commissioner of pat
ents, and of MI. Sparks, commissioner OF
the general land office will receive the
fullest attention. The former, it is under
stood, has concluded that our patent
laws require revision, and the president
has naid as much. Mr.. Sparks report
embodies more than any publication in
regard to it has limited at. The presi,
dent was consulted before the report
was begun and the general outline OF
the reforms proposed laid before him
After fully considering the recommend.
atlons proposed, the president gave
them his endorsement. The annual re.
ports OF the state, war and postoffice de.
partments will be taken up last and the
president expects to dismiss them with.
out much delay.
Secretary Bayard will present to the
president all that is to be said on diplo.
matte affairs in q digest that can be
quickly gotten v There has beer
little done by Postmaster General Villas
that has not been gone over in detail
with the president. None of the cabinet
members have consulted the president
SO systematically as Colonel Villas, and
it will take but a short time for Mr.
Cleveland to prepare his recommended
tlons for the postal service. The presi.
dent has not yet written a word of his
message, and will not begin it for some
| DAYS vet.

GbADsToNE's VIEWS.

Eainburg, Nov. 12-Gladstone and
wife drove through the principal streets
of this city to-day to a hall where he
addressed an immense audience. The
streets leading to the hall were thronged
with people who greeted him in passing
enthusiastically. In the course Of his
speech he said it was impossible for
parliament to deal with the Irish ques-
ton satisfactorily, except by action of a
party powerful enough to not indepen-
IDENTIFY OF the Irish vote, tory as well as
liberal. Such a party in the coming
parliament can only be the liberal party.
This consideration was of the
highest Importance. The tories had
circulated gratuitous insults about
himself which made a warfare
the liberals never INDUCED in.
He thought most of the respectable
tories disapproved of it. One untruth
was that be possessed a large quantity
of land in Russia; another xas that
he felled trees o N Sunday. The speaker

Sixteen Passengers Injured.
Pittsburg, Nov. PA frlghtful wreck
occurred at the blue stone quarry on
the Baltimore & Ohio road at seven this
morning. Train No. IL, the through ex-
press from Baltimore to Pittsbnrg, con-
slsting of a sleeper, two coaches, two
baggage and II express car ran into
a misplaced switch and was completely
wrecked, The sleeper rolled over the
em~bankment into the Yonghogheny
river, the other cars were upset and the
whole train was detached from the'en-
CINE. Sixteen persons were injured
but none killed outright. Those iniur-
ed are;
Hon. q. E. Boyle, member of congress,
from the Faystte district.
Hon. John Bowling, collector of
internal revenue for the Esd district.
j. N. McJeltone, esq, legal agent OF
the Baltimore & Ohio company.
Hon. j. Il. Bigler. collector of internal
revenue for the 22nd district.
The others were residents of Washing
ton and New York and their injuries
consisted chiefly of bruises and slight
cuts. None of the wounded are
believed to be seriously or danger.
ously injured, unless it is Congressman
Boyle, whose condition is not known,
but is believed to be serious.
McJelton's ankle is badly sprained and
Collectors Bowling and Bigler are
slightly bruised. The express train was
about fifteen minutes late when il
reached the place where the wreck oc-
Cured. AT Blue Stone quarry the track
makes a sharp curve around the river.
There is a switch at the commencement
OF the curve, but whether this switch was
lett open by some one or not is yet to be
learned. The officials of the road say it
was tempered with, evidently to cause a
wreck. Had the switch been open the
train would have gone into it oil right
and could have been stopped before any
damage ives done. As it was the train
could go on neither track and the result
was that the engine dashed along the
ties, tearing up the track and causing
the coaches to break loose and dash over
the embankment.
The sleeper rolled we and over and
stopped with it's side lying in the bed of
the river thirty feet below. The two
passenger coaches stopped at the waters
edge and the baggage car went into the
water. Great excitement ensued and
the cries OF the injured and MANNED were
heard on every side; frightened passen-
gers sprang from the windows and
dropped with each other to escape from
the rolling CARS. Those who escaped
without injuries were too startled for
the time to render assistance, but
the rescue soon began. Medical assis-
tances was summoned from Connells-
vile and in a short time a corps of ply
~sicians was sent up on q special train
and after the wounds Of the injured
were dressed they were sent to a hotel
at Connellsville.

CAPITAL NOTES
POSTAL DEFICIENCY.

POSTAL DEFICIENCY.
Washington, Nov. 11-Sixth Auditor
Mcconnell has submitted to the post
master general his annual report Of the
financial operations of the postoffice de-
partment during the last fiscal year.
From the report it appears that the
gross postal were ~$42,560,843;
expenditures, $49,317, 1888; excess of ex-
pendltures over revenue, Sc, 756,345. To
this deficiency, says the auditor, should
be added the amounts certified to Pacific
railroads fors.transportation (S813, 402. 66),
and the estimated unadjusted liabilities
for 1885 ($2S5. 000), making a total de-
fcienoy Of $~S.38l.571. The deficiency
last year was Sd, 1861, 425, or 3,414,146 less
than the present deficiency. The
revenues show a falling off of $765,l15,
while the expenditures have increased
S2,9l2.328, This result is attributed to
the reduction in letter postage and to
general business depression.
CUSTOMS, RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS.
The annual report of the commissioner
of customs shows that during the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1885, there was paid
into the treasury from various sources,
TIE accounts of which were settled in his
Office, the sum of $1S3,207, 1908. The
amount paid ont was $27, l25, 1913.
The commissioner suggests that the
designation of his Office be changed
to that of third comptroller and
also suggests the addition of q
statistical branch for the preparation of
information to be gathered from settle
ments made by him. He suggests the
modification of laws in regard to refund
ing duties, and also in regard to the ap.
pointments of subordinate officers of
customs. A recommendation is made
for the payment of the chief custom Of
fcers by salaries instead of by salary,
fees and commissions. according to the
present system. An examination OF
lighthouse services by special agents,
the same as ID now done in the custom
services, is also urged.
TO BE INVESTIGATED.
The secretary of war to-day instructed
Inspector General BARS to make
a thorough investigation of the
proceedings of the recent
court martial at Fort Meyer.
This action is based on o formal COM
plant received from Representative
B%utterworth and Mr.. Garnett, counsel
for some of The men tried by the court.
