QUEBEC, Oct. 9S.-The Steamship Can
adiau, which has just returned from her
seasons cruise on the Gull, reports con-
siderable dittress on the Labrador coast,
owing to the failure OF the fisheries. At
Esduimaux Point, out Of a population Of
100 families, only twenty have supplies for
the winter. Thirty mora hope to get
enough from the merchants who usually
make advances to them TO pull them
through. The remaining 1OQ families
having nothing whatever with which 10
face the winter it will be necessary either
to bring g,them of thecoast or send supplies
to them. The failure OF the fisheries was
due 10 the action Of tho ice in the spring.
The fall fishing has been poor all over the
gull, owing to rough weather. Four des-
titute families were brought from Labra-
dor by the Canadian. A number OF Amer.
ican vessels fished in the gulf for mackeral
and halibut.

Signal Service Students Court SartAled FOR
Naturalization.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. 2S.-About
half Of the class OF Signal Service men who
are undergoing course of instruction at
Fort Myer, to be completed in January,
are being tried by court martial on a
charge Of insubcrdinatiop. The circum-
stances ere: Tho men of the class felt
that they were being unjustiy and harshiy
treated by th4ir instructor Lieutenant
Frank Green, OF the Signal Service, and
when he addai to this gross profanity, iu-
diseriminat4ly calling them naues not to
be repeated, they resolved to MAKE an
effort for relief. With this in view a
meeting was held, which res1lted in pc.
tiion to the Chief S gnal Oilicer, setting
forth their grievances and appealing for
reli.f. The petition YVES answered by an
order for the court martial ng ol all the
members who had signed the petition.
General H.zin said 10 night that the
men were being court marLialed not for
expressing their grievances, but for hold
Ing a meelilg aud combining for that pur-
pose, which, he said, was almost equal to
mutiny. Lieutenant Green has been
reprimanded by General lGz,n for his
conduct.
The sessions OF The court arc being held
in the evening. Nearly all its officers are
on duty in this city aud cannot attend
any other time. The members OF the
class are beng defended BY Congressman
Butterworth and Henry Wise Garnet,
It Is exp, ct d that the court will be over
tomorrow and the findings will be sub
mitted to General Hazeu. Al the court
was ordered by the chief signal officer the
subject will not come before the War Dr.
partment unless there should be a SON
fence OF dismissal, which is hardly thought
probable ulder the circumstances.

The Washington correspondence of the
Baltimore Sun of last Monday has the fol-
lowing: SIN reference to the mention of
the name Of Gov. McLane, of Maryland.
for place in the cabinet, it can now be
said that several weeks ago it was sugges-
ted in inner political circles that he would
make good Secretary of State, the posi-
ton once filed by his father, and which
his long training in statecraft and diplo-
macy SO well fits him for 1t is under
stood that the matter was brought to the
attention of Mr.. Cleveland, but not with
the knowledge of Mr. McLane. So far as
the Secretaryship of State is concerned it
is, however, still believed to be positive
that unless Mr.. Bayard himself wills to the
contrary, no one else will be seriously con-
sidered in connection with the Depart
ment of State. If Mr.. Bayard should be
out of the way, there could be no better
material than Senator Lamar, Mr.. McLane
Or John Bigelow to fall back upon.

Of the 50,S57 posroffices in the United
States only 1882 are filled by appointment
of the President, the appointments to the
Others being vested in the Postmaster Gen
ersl. Of $50 postmasters in Maryland, the
President appoints but 10; of 3,14S in New
York, he appoints only 221. There are 81
postmasters appointed by the President in
Virginia and II in West Virginia. Hold
ing the views that he does with reference
to the civil service, it certainly is to be
expected that Mr. Cleveland will not
desire to put at the head of the Post
Office Department, in the control of the
appointment of more than 4s 900 postmast-
ers, any man whose view are not in accord
with his own. From what he has said,
the inference may be justly drawn tLat be
is much more anxious to procure q thor
ough business man for the Postoffice De-
par;ment than a mere politician.

OF late the fear has been expressed by
the leading newspapers and Others, that
PRESIDENT Cleve and may bs hsmpered At
thresh I'd OF his term by the necessity of
an extra session of Congress. Such an
event W puld be mach regr- ted, as it light
fo-cs the executive 10 a policy before he
had due time to deliberate and consider
the needs of the government by . careful
study of such ma ters as " i'll he brought
more closely to bis attention on assuming
the reins Of government; According to
expert opinion, however. the prospect OF
an extra session ID not now very great
Most OF the important bills before Con
gress are either disposed Of or in confer
ence, s.d as a couple Of weeks yet remain
of the session it is thought they Will be
disposed OF in time. The important bills
yet to be sent to the Senate from the House
are the pos office appropriation bill, the
legislative, executive and judicial bill, the
naval bill, the fertilization bill, the sundry
civil bill, the general deficiency bill and
the river aud harbor bill The chairman
OF the Senate appropriations committee is
of opinion that if tho bills get over in 4
reasonable time there will he no danger Of
not getting them through" and Senator
Beck thinks that the appropriation bills
are better advanced than for many years.

desire to force al extra session.

In accordance with the provisions of the
Constitution. the members of the Senate
assembled in the hall of the House Of Re.
presenta'ives on Wednesday of last week
for the purpose OF counting the electoral
vote as cast by the various electoral col
leges in December last Senator Edmunds

sided over the joint convention. The seals
of the certificates were broken by him and
handed to the tellers who read the nam
Der of votes each State cast Upon its
conclusion it was found that Grover Cleve
land and Thomas A. Hendricks had re-
ceived 2l9 votes and james G. Blaine and
John A. Logan, 1S2 votes. Sena or Ed
munds made'a simple announcement OF
the fact, but did not make formal decIar-
alton that Cleveland and Hendricks had
been elected. Heretofore it has been ia
sisted by Republican Senators that tho
presiding officer of the Convention had
the right to say who had been elected -
BY his action Senator Elmunds denied
this arbitrary power on the part Of the
presiding officer, but it does not alter the
fact hat Cleveland and Hendricks Will be
the President and Vice President after the

ant it may have been for Senator Ed

A great effort will be made in the next
fortnight to pass the bill making the Com
missioner OF Agriculture Cabinet officer,
and charging his duties. 1t costs three
quarters of million now to run the con-
Germ. No adequate return is made for the
expenditure. For the sake OF the bag, Of
seed which each Senator and member gets
free, Congress makes annual appropriations
that are largely wasted. The money has
been voted year af er year, with charges OF
corruption and mismanagement ringing in
the ears of Congress. The committee has
recommended appropriations when some,
at least, Of the members were aware of the
was efulness-not to use stronger term
of the expenditure. The members wanted
their seeds nicely put up in bags, and they
got them. If they must have seeds at the
public cost, it would be cheaper to give
the members the money to buy them, a
'deHar for every seed. About the first thing
members do is to SECURE seeds to send
home. Frequently it is done to pay for
delegates in the past or to get them in the
future. Half million year is taken out
Of the Treasury through this bureau that
could just as well as not be saved. Is it
proposed to continue the past abuses
The Democrats in Congress owe it to them
selves and their professions of honesty and
reform to stop appropriating money for
extravaganza and dishonesty-for it is not
only extravagant but it is dishonest to pay
for what is not rendered, as it has been the
practice at the agricultural concern year
after year. The way to begin the reform
is to refuse to make appropriations based
on former dishonest expenditures. The
honest and wise thing would be to vote
not another dollar to the bureau until its
management has been oYerhauled.

We observe that the name Of the Hon.
Richard T. Merrick is prominently men,
toned in correction with a place in Mr.
C'evelands cabinet. 1t is said that his
friends are willing that be should have
the appointment either as Attorney, or
Postmaster General. Mr.. Merrick is emf
nently qualified for either of these posi-
tions, though it is questionable whether
he would accept the latter. His eminent
abilities as a jurist and his high reputa-
tion as constitutional lawyer we'll quail
ify him for the post of Attorney General
1t was understood that he would undoubt-
sdIy have been appointed to that position
by Mr.. Tilden, if he had taken his seat
and Mr.. Cleveland would certainly do a
very graceful and proper thing by making
Mr.. Merrick his legal advisor.
