i of SroKAjrc Faix, W. Aug. 5. The fire started at 7 p. m.

in a lodging house on Railroad avenue. The fire department on the scene quickly, but owing to a lack of water the fire quickly spread to adjoining frame buildings and was soon beyond control. 'The flames jumped acroaa he street to the Ross House and the Pacific By this time a strong wind sprung up and the flames spread with fearful rapidity. The firemen were Eowerless. Attempts made to check the Are blowing up buildings in ite path were useless.

From the Pacific Hotel the fire swept across FirRt street to the frame buildings in the next block, and soon it reached the heart of the city. The block of two-story brick buildings on Riverside avenue was easily carried away. From here the fire communicated to the magnificent Hyde block, a four-story building, taking in the whole square between Mill and Howard streeu on Riverside avenue. Pjst and Mill streets were quickly licked up, including the Grand Hotel. From here the waves of flame poured inta the adjoining square on the right, containing the Frankfort block, the largest building in the city.

The Frankfort cost $250,000. It withstood the fire for somo time, but finally succumbed. The Arlington hotel was now In flames. Suddenly a man was seen to jump from the second story. He arose and started to run down Howard street, but was overcome by the heat and fell.

Several people rushed to his assistance and carried bim to a place of safety. Ha was a pitiable sight, having been literally roasted alive, the skin peeling off all over his body. The unfortunate was Charles Davis, lie died at noon today. The fire next leaped across Howard street and In a few minutes the block between Howard and Stevens streets was a mass of red-hot ashes. The next structure to succumb was the large Tult block.

From there the conflagration went whirling through the solid blocks of four-story brick buildings, including the postofHce, between Stevens and Washington streets. At this point the fire bnrned out from lack of material. From the place of origin the fire fad meanwhile taken another direction, leaijing across Sprague street to the Opera house and thence over Riverside avenue to Brown's bank. Then both sides of the avenue were in fiame9. Northward was the direction taken by the fire from the Arlington It consumed the block between Howard, Main.

Front and Stevens streets, burning east as far as the latter thor oughfare, when a vacant lot-checked further progress in that direction. Everything in a northerly direction, including the Northern pacific Express office, the Union block, and the Windsor Hotel, was soon a mass of flames. Tbe river prevented the fire doing further damage, and was the means of saving all the big flouring and lumber mills. Three hours sufficed to complete the awful destruction. The only business block left standing is the Cresctnt building, which was saved by tearing down intervening buildings.

Owing to the rapidity with which the fire spread scarcely any thing was saved. Provision are scarce, and will last only a short time. The city council met today and appointed a com mittee on relief. It was decided ttiat provi sions should be sent for and the needy sup plied free. The superintendent of the city water works was denounced by the council for neglecting bis duty, he away at the time of the fire.

The big pumps were not connected and as a result there was scarcely any pressure Had the contrary been the case the fire would have been easily gotten under control.

A fire at midnight destroyed the fancy goods store of George Rosary in the Cressen building, causing a loss of 00. The Stine, the Valentine, and the Crumcolt buildings were damaged 12,000. All the buildings were partially insured. Rosary and his wife were arrested on suspicion of having set the building on fire. They both claim the fire was the result of an accident caused by throwing a lighted match on the CITIL SERVICE.

HIGH OFFICIALS INTERVIEWED REGARDING THE LAW. The Opinions of Secretaries Windora, Proctor and Noble, and Attorney-General Miller. Washington, Aug. 5 The Posts prints interviews with Secretaries Windom, Pi and Noble and Attorney-General Miller, in relation to the workings of the civil service law. Secretary Windom unhesitatingly asserted that he believed the enforcement of the law had improved the public service.

When asked if he did not think he was better qualified to select clerks with special reference to the work to be performed than any one else, he replied: I would not have the time. I much prefer to be relieved of the necessity. I would be dependent in a great measure on the representation of the aspirants themselves or their t'6 countless appeals made incapable'of self-support In and 1 would have to be constant correcting mistakes of my own making, it wbuld be impossible for me to make more than hasty inquiries into the clerical merits Of the candidates." Would you, with the responsibility of running the treasury upon your shoulders, select men solely for political reasons, whom yuu ma not rjelieve qualified, if there were no civil-service lajrf" asked one reporter. "No, sir; I Would not," emphatically rejoined the Secretary; "nor do I beliava tfct Am would do so to any exten Certainly no person fit to occupy any official position would do so." Secretary Proctor thought the law had improved the public service, but said he had known very little of the service previous to the existence of the law. He thought if he was obliged to select all the clerks of the War Department he would hare very little time for anything else.

I am very glad," he said, "to be relieved of the necessity of selecting them, and if the law was repealed I should feel that it would be something of a calamity to have the work of the civil-Bervice commission devolve on me." In regard to my experience of and feelings for the Civil Service law," said Secretary Noble over the question, I can say that I endeavor to obey it to the extent that I understand it with sincerity. As to whether I can get along without it I can only say that on the Census Bureau where the statute required the Secre-. tary of tbe Interior to make regulations with assistance of the Buperintendeut of the Census, we have inaugurated a system of rules oi examinations that we Deiieve will give just as good results under our direct care as it we had an ontcidft superintending board. I think the examinations are nearer the particular service required than 3f they were in the hands of somebody else. shall continue to obey the Civil Service law as far as I believe it goes, but I am noc inclined to surrender a single point to the Commission on a pretension they may make." Do you consider that the public service has been injured by the work of the Civil Service Commission I do not feel prepared to answer that question." In answer to the question "If the appointment of employes of your department devolved upon you, would you fill vacancies because of political affiliations, or would your selections be based on the merit of the candidates?" the Secretary replied: "That is an hypothetical case which I can't answer." You don't suppose yon are going to get cabinet officers to answer these questions do you!" was Attorney-General Miller's comment.

"As for me my business is to interpret tbe law, and I certainly do not want to discuss it" Secretary Rusk preferred to say nothing at this time. The Kentucky Election. Lomsrcm, Aug. 5. Returns from the election, today for state treasurer show a democratic victory.

Stephen H. Sharp of Lexington, present treasurer, was nominated for reelection, The democratic counties so far a heard from show as increase for him over the majority given Bnckner in 1887. There have been some surprising victories for republican candidates for tbe legislattuB, bnt this has been due in all cases to local causes. Inrepub-lican counties where ex-Senator Colson, the republican nominee for Treasurer, was ex pect to make heavy gains, there has been rather st decrease. Louisville gives Sharp 2,500 majority, and the state probably 25,000 The prohibition vote is light.

0. The wires are now iu Mich condition that fuller particulars of the conflagration can be given The fire started at 0.15 v. M. in tlie roof of a lodging house on Railroad avenue, the third door from Post street. A dead calm prevailed, aad the spertators supposed tlie firomen would speedily bring the under control.

This could have been done if bolter precautions had been taken, but the superintendent uf tUo wuti-works was out of the city, and tor some reason the men in charge failed to respond to the call for more pressure. The heat created a current ofair, an 1 in les than ha1f an hour the entire of frame sbops was enveloped in Mime, and burning phirgles and other debris filled the air, igniting several adjoining blo-ks. At the same time the -polite block to tbat in which the lire originated, which ftrood Pacific Hotel, one of the handsomest structures in the Northwest, took fire. It was now o'clock, and by that time a high wind prevailed from the southwest, and it was evident that the business portion of tbe city wni in danger. Mayor Firth ordered that buildings be Mown up with giant powder to check the spread of the fire.

The order was speedily put into execution, and the explosions added to the reign of terror. The picture was grAnd and awful as block after block yielded to the domon of destruction. Tbe sky was overcast with bljack clouds. A strong wind sprang up from the northeast, fanning the flamoi furiously, While an upper current continued to narry th burning timber? in the opposite direction. The Grand Hotel, Washington block, Eagle block, Tull block, New Granite block, Cuahing building, Falls City Opera House, HydiS block and all the banks, and, in fact, every bouse from Railroad avenue north to the river, and from Lincoln street east to Washington street, with the exception of a few buildings in the northeast corner, were totally destroyed.

Meanwhile a sudden change of the wind carried the fire southward across Railroad avenue and destroyed the Northern Pacific passenger and freight depot and several cars. The freight depot was a splondid structure, and was filled to the roof with valuable merchandise, very little of which was saved. The shrieks of a dozen locomotives mingled with the roar of thev flames, the bursting of, cartridges, tbe booViing. of giant powder, the hoarse shouts oilmen and pitiful shrieks of women and obi made a moat terrifying scene. Ixjokicg upwurd broad aud mighty river of flames was seen agaibst a jet black sky.

Occasionally tvro opposing currents of wind met, causing a whirlwind of fire that seemed to penetrate the clouds, performing all sorte of fantaf-iic girations. In manner the appalling monster hola high carnival until about 10 o'clock. When Howard street bridge over the river went down, a boom logs took fire river. ManyVmes'tfynVg ffeSEe of the the liver, igniting tbe mammoth lumber and flouring mills that lined its banliis but by heroic efforts its career was checked on the south side of the stream. Looking back Wards, however, the beholder witnessed a scene of desolation that was fearful to contemplate.

Fragments tlie naked walls of what weire, four hours before, magninueni granite, stood like grim sentinels. Over the surface of the burning sea all was devastation and ruin. The burned district embraced 30 blocks besides the depot. The only brick business houses left standing are block and the American Theatre. TJhe schools and churches and the college and! hospital were beyond the lines of the bumfed district and were not lost.

It is impossible to estimate the loss with any degree of accuracy, but It will not fall short of ten million dollars, with an insurance of about one-fourth that amount. The banks have obtained temporary quarters and several have already opened for business. The work of clearing ttway -the debris has begun and the work of rebuilding will be also commenced at once. Fireman are blowing down dangerous walls and a militia company is guarding the burnt', district, while mounted police patrol the entire city. The company will be reinforced by a company from Walla Walla to-day.

The city council has held a meeting and discussed resolution prohibiting the erection of Wooden buildings in the burned district, and a maes meeting of citizens sustained it unanimously. It will be pasaed at the regular meeting Wednesday. Tbe council ttaa passed a resolution revoking tbe licenses of all hotels and restaurants and of dealers in provisions who advance their prices. Only two saloons remained open and they have been closed by order of the mayor. The council ordered the confmittee on fire, waterand sewers to Investigate the cause of the absence of its superintendent of works, as the man left in charge was incompetent; A hopeful feeling prevails, and although tbe destruction of property will getard the progress of the city for a time, II is impossible that resources so vast and stability so well established should be blotted outi The city will rise again, grander and better than before, and still claim its position as a commercial centre and the railway centre of Eastern Washington.

THE GREAT NATAL REVIEW AT SPIT HE AD, Thousand of Moving Veuel. Great and Small. An Impressive BlgbtPres-ence of tbe Emperor "William. Bad Health of the Prince of Wales. New York, Ang.

6. The Herald's London despatch says the greatest naval review that England or any other country ever saw took place yesterday at Bpithead. The sun upon a pea of brilliant flags and changing craft. In the wide water picture there were thousands of moving vessels, great and small. There were big ocean steamers, big excursion steamers, coasting steamers, steam yachts, towDoate and shore steam launches all brilliant with bunting of all colors.

There was a great fleet of sailing yachts, five hundred of them and more, dancing along over the bright green surface under a crisp, fresh breese. There were three five mile lines of battle ships. It was the greatest fleet of war ships that ever gathered together greatest in number, and by far the greatest in power. The ships made an impressive sight that compelled every observer to stop and think. There were thousands of people afloat; visitors from London, from other cities, towns and villager, and a heavy contingent from Southampton, Portsmouth, Gosport, Kyde and Cowes.

There were one hundred thousand people on shore. All of England was fully represented. Her Majesty, miles away, looked on from the round tower of Osborne. The Prince and the Princess of Wales and their sons were on he water. There were hereditary lords and naval lords and famous commanders.

There were admirals and captains aad commanders galore. And there was, as guest and visitor, the centre of all eyop, the young monarch of the foremost military kingdom of the century, William Second of Germany. The Emperor wore a cocked hat and thft full uniform of an admiral of the fleet. The Prince of Wales wore the same. The Emperor had a telescope which he was constantly using.

He inspected all the ships minutely and with great interest. He was constantly in motion or in conversation, and took a business-like interest in a scene which evidently afforded him much gratification. On occasions he took off his hat. Whenave-the royal yachts passed one of the battle sTnp every tar on board joined in a cheer which went ringing away to seaward with a hoarse enthusiasm truly British. Then the commanders on the bridge uncovered and the Emperor uncovered also.

Tbe Emperor takes off his hat very often, and does It extremely well for a King. Alter tne presuutution of the commanders, the following signal was hoisted from the royal yacht; "The Emperor and the Prince of Wales, on bohoif of tixa Qrw wish to express to the admirals, captains, ofilco- a men of the assembled fleets their highest approbation of the appearance and efTlciency of the magnificent fleet assembled." The Prince of Wales. The condition of tbe Prince of Wales is attracting much attention. On Sunday he was compelled to rest while the German Emperor continued his private inspect'-on of the fleet. It is now understood he may not take an active part in the inspection of the manoeuvres at Aldershot, Wednesday.

The Prince is troubled with a gouty affection of the eye, and with a recurrence of a veinous inflamatiou of his leg which he has moreor less since his attack of typhoid fever in the winter of 1871. Emperor William has telegraphed to the Dnke of Saxe Cobourg that he is extremely gratified by bis reception here. He also refers to the naval review and expresses admiration of the British fleet. BURKE IN PRIS0X. Chicago Officers Endeavor to Extract a Confession or Statement from Him.

Chicago, Aug. 0. It has leaked out that Burke was subjected to vigorous interrogations by the officers last night, in the hope that a confession or damaging admission might be forthcoming. A dark cell at tbe Harrison-street station, where he is confined, is especially devoted to this process of forcible extraction. Burke's attorney.

State Senator Kennedy of Appleton, is here, and it was feared a delay in this "police inquiry" until today might give the prisoner an opportunity to be braced up by his attorney, and be made obdu-ra to the influence of the "sweat box." Chief Hubbard refused to allow any one to see his charge. It is said Senator Kennedy will today be allowed to see bis client. Kennedy denies that be is a member of the Clan-na-Gael, but declines to state by whom he has been retained to defend Burke. A REMARKABLE STORY. A Yoxmg Girl Comes to Life while Lying in Her Shroud.

Tahlequah, I. Aug. 6. An election was held in the Cherokee nation yesterday for members of the legislature. Two tickets ware in the field, the Downing ticket being composed of Chief Mayes" delegates and the national gticket, supporters of ex-Chief Bushy-bead.

HTFPOLTTE XARLG P0BT-AU-PEISCE. A Panic In the Beleagured City. Horrible Scenes of HutdierV.Hoth Partlea Tortur. I riff and Murdering Prisoners. No QuarteT Granted Captive.

Fighting Still In Progress. Kew York, August 6. A despatch to the Times dated Port-au-Prince, July 23, says: Legitime has been cutting the throats of prisoners in the market place. Hippolyte is advancing nearer and nearer each day. Time and again the Southern leader has prepared for night, but on each occasion the appeals of the people and the representations of his generals have induced him to hold out a little longer.

More than once the war has appeared to be on its last legs, but by some sudden exploit hope has again been raised in the breasts of the beleaguered inhabitants, followed by renewed efforts to otay the advance of the Northern forces. Fear bordering on frenzy appears to have seized hold of many of Legittaie's soldiers. They refuse to stand fire; and it only remains for the contagion to become universal to enable Hippolyte to march unopposed into the capital of the South. The idea of offering quarter to surrendering troops has long died out, and capture now rjieens something worse than death. Hippolyte slaughtered IS men who fell into his hands the other day, and in retaliation the terrible scenes in tbe market place have been enacted.

None Gf the inhabitants of Port-au-Prince expects the least mercy will be accorded him shoulif Hippolytts's men ever force an entrance into the city. The system of signals is vigorously observed between the American Consulate and the Kearsarge and tbe Ossipee, lying in the ofSug. The American residents fuel comparatively safe. Severe fighting has taken place at La Coup and in a marsh near the city, where 5.J of Hippolyte's meu gained a lodgment. All to houees and brush in front cf the city have burned by the opposing forces, and the ntry is probably ruined.

On the 20th Hip- polyte's position was subjected to a general bombardment by the forts aud men-of-war. Some of the shells, when they exploded, brought forth a series of yells from the marsh of the meaning of which there could be no mistake. Just before sunset Hippolyte ordered a charge on La Coup. His men advanced with a rush, firing as they ran. Instead, however, of going right over the intrenchments, as they might have done, the whola line on reaching some of the outer intrenchmenta.

I Igitime's men fled to the Interior of tbe fort I at the first appearance of the attacking fore, and for half an hour kept up a fire on Hip- poly te's men gaihcrod below. At this moment ihe report was sent to iico from La Coup tbat it was impossible to hold out longer and ca ling for reinforcements. All the available men in the city wore j-ushed forward, and with considerable impetuosity attacked Hippolyte. The latter beat a hasty retreat, carrying away with him eighteen of the garrison captured during the fust of the attack. These unfortunato eighteen men were shot on reaching Hippolyte's camp, while others had their throats cut in the sight the whole body of troops.

All ere executed for the amusement of the troops. Spies reported this of Hlppolite's to Legitime and the latter immediately ordered all the prisoners on hand to be taken to the market place. There were eight of them in all, and tied arm to arm they were led, strongly guarded, to the open market. Here an immense crowd had collected which was at a fever heat of excitement. One by one the men were gagged in piaiu view of everybody, and then, with the utmost deliberation; their throats were cut like so many beasts, the crowd yelling vociferously as each man fell quivering to the ground.

Jn tbe very middle of the killing one man managed to nngag himself anil filled the air with the most piercing cries of fright. This pleased the crowd so much that the gags of all the remaining prisoners were taken out and cries of agony of the wretched men fairly rent the air. hen the butchery was completed a great yell went up from the crowd for Legitime, and it was evident that the Southern leader had gained a point in th confidence of his followers. Hippolyte expressed great friendship far the Americans, and it is not thought any harm will come from the hands of his men efaouid they force the city. other evening a command of SO of Legi-time's men attempted to go the rounds of the works.

The command was surprised by the enemy and fired upon from all sides. The officer in charge was among the first to fall. The command immediately attempted to escape by flight, but all were captured except two. These two hid in the bush and report that they saw their comrades shot down in cold blood to a man. All of the captives begged for mercy and hurrahed for Hippolyte, but not one of them was allowed to live.

It looks as if the war is to be one of extermination, for it means death to be captured by either party. SIOUX RESERVATION. Mutisms niitu ur niuaAruucs OBTAIXED For ItM Opening to Settlement. The Signing of Chief Gall and hi Followers. John Grass Gives his Opinion Boll.

Stakdiho Rock Agency, Aug. 6. The requisite number of signatures for the opening of tbe great Sioux reservation was secured last evening. Tbe sensation of the day was the singing by Chief GalL Gall made no speech, but with his faithful followers around him, and in the presence cf those whom for years he had influenced against giving up the lands, he marched silently to the roll, touched the pen, and, amid the applause of the friendly Indians and the disapproving grunts of the Sitting Bull bond, it was announced that Gall had signed. The Black Feet and Upper and Lower Yankton ians followed Gall and signed with a rapidity and eagerness that proved the wonderful influence of this powerful chief.

All day the Indians signed, and now eleven million acres of land to which the whites have been looking longingly for years are theirs. The commissioners are rejoiced over their success. Gall said: "I have given my consent My Indians have signed because I told them to after learning that the government could take our lands for nothing if it wanted to. The whites have now got our lands, and I hope they will be satisfied and let us live In peace in the future." John Grass said he had been holding out for better terms, but when be found tbe Indians at the lower agency were signing he thought it best to do so. We hope," he added, "to receive such help from the government and the white people as to help us to become like them to become civilized.

There Is one big log in our camp though, and that is Bitting Bull He is utterly worthless to us, and keeps us back more than he helps us. He is of no consequence to us, and if the whites think so much of him they had better come and get him. He never was a chief and is always noisy and making trouble. He has gathered around him a band of bad men, having no idea of civization, and all he seems to want is notoriety." Bitting Boll, when asked what he believed the effect of opening of the reservation on the Indiana would be, exclaimed: Don't talk to me about ltidiM. There are no Indians left except those in my band.

They are all dead, and those still wearing the clothes vf warriors are only squaws. I am sorry for my followers, who have been defeated and their land taken from them." BURSTING OF A DAX.

Her parents wotdd not withdraw their decree, ami so on July she left her home, going to Philadelphia and vieiting an aunt.
