FIRE AT TIE EXCHANGE HoTFL.-ShortJv
after II o'clock last night fire was t,iscoycre,
in the rear portion of the Exchange Hotel,
near the old dining-room. The alarm WINS
at once turned in by the policeman on that
beat at Box No. 81, corner Fourteenth and
Main streets. The Department responded
promptly, and before the lapse of many
minutes four streams of water were playinp
upon the flames which now burst out from
the roof Of the pantry and kitchen. and Il
was feared that the hotel would scarcely be
saved.
The stores of Messrs. O. Cranz and La
touche, underneath the burning building.
were soon opened, and the liquors Of the
former and cloths of the latter moved to a
place Of security. By this time, however,
the fire was under control, and the fears that
the main building would not be saved were
dispeiled. 1t is thought that the fire origi-
mated in one of the lodging-rooms on the
floor above the old dining-room and near The
kitchen, which is not now used, the cooking
being done in the kitchen of the Ballard.
The loss will not be heavy on Mr.. CARING
ton, though AIessrs. Cranz and Latouche both
suffer damage ....e.... E.r.

!NaSfHating the AIR,

Mr.. Editor: would like to make public
an idea of mine about balloons. 1t may
prove interesting from novelty. Balloons,
I think, could be constructed in, exactly
the same manner in which school globes are
now made: 1t would cost no very great
sum to build hollow wooden model-say,
sixty or eighty feet in, diameter-upon
which thousatids OF ballooils Gotild be
moulded at a moderate cost. Sucn balloons
would be strong, enduring, and would re-
tain gas for an indefinite length Of time.
When the balloon is made and filled with
gas, it should be Theoretically sealed, and so
loaded as to have little or no tendency to
rise or fall of ITSELF The problem of raising
and lowering such balloon by suitable ma
chlnery without letting the gas escape could
easily be solved by any ingenious inventor.
Such a balloon, Of course; could not be
nayigated against the wind, but even If it
merely tioated with the breeze it would be
II great use to mankind. Besides, if, for
example, the wind blew due north the bal
loci might be navigated at will northeast
or nSrthwest. Moreover, it is generally
thought that at different attitudes the wind
blows in different directions. If this is the
case, by rising and falling to catch the diff
terent breeze, the balloGH might travel ut
any time in almost any direction.

SAN DOMINGO Washington, Feb. 24.-
Leading Republican Senators stated to-day
that the San Domingo commission would
return by April 1st, snd that Congress
would undoubtedly remain in session long
enough to act on the report. This is said
to be the Presidents desire. Mr.. McMi-
chacl, of Philadelphia, the special bearer
of dispatches, arrived here to-day from the
San Domingo commissioners, bringing a
preliminary report of what they have done.
The details Of these dispatches cannot be
obtained for publication, but it is learned
that the commissioners substantially con-
firm the hint thrown out by the correspon-
dents, that the greatest obstacle to the an
nexation of Santo Domingo is the threat
ening attitude of Hayti. That Republic is
giving its moral. il not its physical, sup
port to the revolutionary leader, Cabral,
in his incursions along the Dominican
border. Hayti seems to think that if Santo
Domingo is annexed, the United States
will attempt to secure the rest of the
island, and thus swallow up that little Re-
public. 1t is intimated that she will fight
first. and thus compel the United States to
make an armed occupation of Santo Do
minco from the outstart. Otherwise the
prospect is favorable to annexation, and
The commissioners will probably report in
favor Of il,

The CoURT-MARTIAL OF THE CoLoRED Ca
DET-Secretary Beikndp IN Quandary.-
The delay in announcing the result of the
court.martial of colored Cadet Smith occa-
sions considerable comment, and various
reasons have been a>cribed for the procras-
tination. 1t is stated that the Secretary OF
War is perpleXed in forming his decision,
as he is called upon to decide Smiths fate
on the merits of the case. There Is but
little doubt That the Secretary is disposed to
sanction his dismissal from the academy,
and the President would approve such a
sentence, but. in view Of the public feeling
created against the conduct of the first
class, and as Smith is not the only cadet
who has grossly mishehayed himself, the
Secretary Of War is undecided whether to
put Smith on his good behavior or end his
career at the Military Academy by dis
missal. In consequence of recent nu-
merous publications by the West Point
cadets of articles relative to the late dis
turbances, General Pitcher, the superin-
tendent, has called their attention to the
army re gulations, which forbid all publica-
tions by officers and cadets relative to
transactions at the Military Academy
