Fire at the Navy ueparsment. &c.

,
WASHINGTON, July 15.-There was fire
at the Navy Department this morning, butt
was of comparatively trifiing account. No
valuable records were destroyed, and the
damage will not reach $4,000. The fire
originated in the third story, and is supposed
TO have been occasioned by spontaneous
combustion of chemicals in the laboratory of
the Medical Bureau of the Department.
Colonels Hughes and Mosby are both in
Washington, and both have been in consul
tation with Government officials to-day.
The President is expected to return here
on Friday or on Monday Of next week, but
will only remain about twenty -four hours,
as there is nothing Of Importance requiring
his attention. A.
The Howard matter seems to be dying
out, officials generally seeming to concede in
the opinion that it will do no harm to give
him very thorough washing. TmoN.

WASHINGTON, July ia fire occurred at
the Navy Department this morning which
! damaged the building to the extent of s1O,-
O00 or $4,000. though the greatest damage

ment Is unfit for occupancy. There were
several valuable records burned, but most

| WASHINGTON, July 15.-The log-bOok IL
brary of the Navy Department suffered most.
Nearly all the logs were damaged by fire and

and fourth stories OF the south wing. Nearly
all the records of the Bureau of Steam En-
| gineering were lost. The Bureau of Ord.
nance lost heavily in records and papers.

unit for occupancy.
DISPATCH TO TIE PRESIDENT.
The following dispatch in regard to the
fire was sent to the President by Secretary
Robeson:
"a fire broke out at about $50 this A. NJ
in the third story of the back building of
the Navy Department, probably originating
in the printing-room. The Fire Depart
nlent was promptly on hand, and, working
with great efficiency, soon had the fire under
control, and put 1t out finally before
O'Clock. Only few drawings and no i'm.
portant records were destroyed. The prin
cipal damage is by flooding from water. The
business of the Department is not seriously
