DEPARTMENTAL REPORTS.

ber 1.

They viii All Be Submitted by Octo-
ber 1.
The absence of many of the Cabinet off
GERS from the city will be taken advantage
OF by bureau chiefs to prepare their annual
statements on the work of their offices
submission to the Secretaries in October.
Many of these documents are important
to the heads of departments in the prepara-
ton OF their reports to the President,
while others merely contain recitals of
routine work carried on during the year.
The report of the Comptroller of the
Currency is one of the few that is not made
to the Secretary, but Is sent direct to Con-
gress. The report of the director of the
mint is another of great Importance, but
goes to the Secretary, and is now In course
of preparation by Mr.. Preston. Several
of the auditors have already completed their
statements, and they will have them ready
to turn in before the close of next week.
Bureau chiefs of the State Department are
exempted from reports for the reason that
the Secretary makes none, and, therefore,
there is no necessity of his being informed
yearly of what tbastranspiredin the bureaux
under him.
Theleading bureaux oftbe war and Navy
Departments have their reports well ad
vanced, and will consist of very brief
resume Of the work during the past year,
together with recommendations for the
ensuing year. No unnecessary verbiage or
expression of opinion at any great length
will be permitted. Secretary Lamont and
Secretary Herbert have found in reports
made to previous heads pf the department
much unnecessary .'wind blowing" aIsd
propose T., repress the tendency to enter
into technical discussion Of every unim-
portant detail which may cnMe under the
notice of the bureaus. NIT only VIII the
Government save thereby In printing bllls,
but the Secretaries viii be relieved OF the
burden Of psEusing useless mattcr.

Senator Harris Selected for President Pro
 a Fem of the Senate.
 Washington, Dec. 5,-The democratic senate caucus this afternoon authoriz- ed Chairman JGorman to appoint a com mittee of nine to assign the democratic members to the conmitteeshfps. The drift of the discussion, and especially the remarks of Senators Vest and Blackburn, indicated willingness to permit the republicans to assume the responsibility of the committee, and, through that channel, of the legislation of the present congress. It is under stood that no protest will be entered against the proposition of the republi- cans to take full control of the com mittees, including chairmanships. The following six members of the old com mittee were continued by MT. German; Messrs. Cockrell Harris, Blackburn, Brice, Jones and German. The three additional men will not be selected be- fore Monday.
 The caucus also decided that when ever the republicans should put for ward a candidate for president pro tenn pore Senator Harris should be placed in nomination as the democratic candi- date.

THE LATEST FROM THE PITCAIRN.
Contented and iairly Happy, but No
 Quite So Prosperous as Once.

Contented and Fairly Happy, but NO
 Quite So Prosperous as Once.
 From the San Francisco Bulletin.1
 Fourteen thousand miles of southern seas has the missionary brig Pitcairn, with a large party of Oaklanders on board, travelled since she dropped down the stream on the first of May last and spread canvas for Pitcairn Island, with supplies and good books for the survi- vors of the 'mutineers of the Bounty Captain J. E. Graham, who commands the Pitcairn, writes to this city an in teresting letter of the vessels cruise, and mentioned that the pretty little craft is on her homeward trip.
 When the Pitcairn sailed from San Francisco in the interests of the Sev- enth-day Adventist society of this coast she cleared direct for the queer little settlement of historic fame. She took as passengers Dr. and Mrs, Brancht, Miss Mccoy, a MT. Owen and his son, and Missionaries Young, Gra- ham, Eldon, and MT. and Mrs. Elahas- man, all of oakland. She proceeded direct to the island, arriving on the 9th of June, and none too soon, for provi- sions were running low at the settle ment, and, although fruit was plentiful and there was little fear of actual star vation. the touch of civilization has tempered the appetites of the Pitcairn CTS, and they often long for canned goods and pie
 The island Is not so prosperous a col ony as 1t used to be is the information that came in the same mail with Cap tain Grahan's letter. Too frequent in termarriage has somewhat weakened the constitutions of the inhabitants, and there is frequent complaint of sick ness. The colony has not increased to any extent in numbers, but the people are contented and happy for all this.
 A school has been established at the island, and competent teachers are enn- ployed. The children of the colonists are by no means lacking in book knowledge, for it is reported that in addition to their regular studies o1 reading, writing and arithmetic, the Pitcairn youngsters absorb much oi Shakespeare, Macauley and Carlyle They study the world at large through the medium of good authors.
 The brig stopped one week at Pit. cairn; she then left for the Society Is lands, for the Oakland missionaries were bent on spreading Gospel truths among the indolent worshippers ot Anu. A pretty thorough canvass fol stray souls was made and visits paid tc the numerous Seventh-day Adventis stations throughout the group.
 The brig called at Austral, Nine an6 Cooks islands, and at the latter foune 1 the natives and missionaries alike sui fering from ennui, for, according to one energetic white man, no effort hac been made by the Cookites to capture 1 traders or fill their stomachs with any lthing but the blessings of nature in the | shape of fruits.
 1 The Pitcairn drifted toward Tonga was held by calrns, and finally made I that port. From there she sailed fol Suva, ana took in Copra. From Suvs the brig will sail to the Gilberts, thence to Honolulu, thence to San Francisco and then for season she will rest hel corralled bilge blanks on the mud flat! l of modern Athens

But somehow the discovery" had disappeared Tn six months waned painfully by and Rule could not find ore averaging better than $2O 8 ton. Some people said that Roger Prender- gast, the superintendent who succeeded him with Jones, had been over the ground and picked out all the payroek, Anyhow. the directors and everybody except Jim Rule gave up the job as hopeless, Jim begged for two months mor time, but the managers refused to give him another chance.
 Rule never got over the keen disap- pointment of his failure. 1t always ran kled with him whenever the Comstock mines were mentiond, From that time on he was not so eheery and hopeful, and his spells of not feeling quite well became more frequent. He returned to the Lone Star mine at West Point, and with his partner, Captain Hurley de- voted all his attention to trying to trying to find pay dirt" on his own ground.

Has Less to Lose.

Berlin, Dec. 5.--The Post in an article commenting on President Clevelands message to the American congress re- marks that Germany has less to lose by an economic war than have the United States. In view of the fact that If the present threats made by America should be successful the Americans would be certain to use Q similar screw unceasingly, Germany must resist Pres ident Cleveland's warning. Retaliato- " measures would apply with equal force to both sides.

In Certain of the Industrials There W ere
 Heavy Liquidations.

heuVy LlQuluatiOns.
 New York, Dec. 5.-Stocks were irreg- ular, but in the main weak. There were heavy liquidations in certain of the in dustrials, notably Leather preferred and Tobacco, and moderate selling in Louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake and Ohio, St. Paul and Denver and Rio Grande preferred for London account. The sales for foreign account were es- timated at from 12,0O0 to 15,O00 shares, and were attributed to belief that con- gress will not take up the currency matters at once as expected. An ad- vance in sterling exchange here and the certainty of gold exports by Sat- urday's steamers add to the bearish feeling. It is thought that at least one and perhaps three millions will be for warded on the day named
 The usually active railway issues ran off A to 11s per cent, the decline be- ing most pronounced in Manhattan, Louisville and Nashville, Chesapeake and Ohio, Denver and Rio Grande pre- ferred and Missouri Pacific. The grang- CTS lost about A@ss per cent, but when the dividend of 21s per cent. was de- clared on Northwest common, which practically places the stock on 5 per cent. basis, Northwest rose E to 1O6B,and the other western shares ral- lied fractionally. On the industrials Sugar as usual, was the special card, 640O0 shares changing hands at 103B @105B. The suit brought by Syracuse parties had not the slightest effect on the stock; in fact, short sellers of yes terday and the day before were badly punished and were forced to cover dur ing the first hour when the stock touch ed 105%
 When the usual dividends were an- nounced the prices settled back to 1037s One broker bought 15,OOO shares sup posed to be for a prominent operator. Tobacco and Leather preferred were depressed under free offerings of stock for the long and short account. The former dropped 3M to 76A and the latter | 1% to 62%. Chicago Gas again ruled quiet and firm at 64ss@65. Pacific Mail after an early decline to 31ta returned I to 321a and left off at 323s bid. Up to | the close of business mo announcement had been made of the signing of the agreement with the Panama.

 more which lacked confirmation was
