CHAPTER XVII. MY nON HARRX


 When Captain Winthrop found himself ono of tho hundreds pouring out of tho gateway Of the Central station in Kew York, l fancy he felt, for all his bravo words to his wife, d httlc nervous concern ing tho troubles he was about to encounter for, like all untravelcd provincialists his ideas of tho metropolis were not exactly aattering to it's inhabitants.
 It was mid-afternoon when he arrived. and, first running into dock" at a hotel. he set boldly out for East Sixty-third street. It was rocking hot-hotter than the Captain in his widest dreams had ever imagined human beings could endure it and live. Along Fifth avenue it was bad enough, but when he turned to the right into q Tar roWer and more crowded street he had fairly to gasp for respiration. The neigh borhood was not pleasant one; for by dc grees the character of the houses seemed to deteriOrate until at last he reached q re- zion of squalid tenement dwellings, teem- ing with slatternly women and half-nakeu children, whom the stifing air had driven to the door-stcps. Again and again he paused, thinking he must have blundcrcd but the inscription on tho street lamps re- assured him and he plodded on. TEcn things mcnded a little There was a marked improvement in the style of houses, which o- "Ao windows decorated with cards of Apart rlents to lct," and at last he reached No. 2O51.
 A plcasant-loolSing, neat, middle-ased woman was sweeping the doorstep as be approached.
 ''Does Miss Frobisham live herc!" tho Captain asked, mopping his brow with q bandana handkerchief big enough for q yacht-tlag.
 ''Yes, sir. Please come in." And tho Captain found himself III a small, dark sit ting-room, made bidcous with abortlons in wax flowers and colorcd tidics after tho manner of the New York lodging houses.
 "Youu excuse mo, sir" the woman con tinued, when the Captain was seated, "but might ask your business with Miss Fro bisham"
 The Captain stared in indignant silence.

THE DISTRICT OFFICES


The report that IL has been decided BY the
President 10 allow the terms Of the recorder Of
deeds, register Of wills, and other District on
GERS to expire before making new appoint
ments il incorrect In considering the ques-
ton OF appointment 10 these places the Prssi-
dent has taken up this question with others in
the Same connection.
He does not propose 10 do anything without
reason or consideration. In connection with
making the appointments the first question
that arises is whether there Il Q vacancy, or, II
there Is not, II there any reason for making
one. Next comes the selection of the new man
for the place.
In the case Of the District Offices, the Presi-
dent Is considering in the ordinary way, what
claims the incumbents have for retention,
and, as opposed to this what reasons there are
why new men should be appointed at this time.
This signifies nothing more than that the Pres
ident proposes to proceed regularly about the
1t does not mean that the new appointments
are to be delayed. There may be great many
reasons that would be deemed sufficient for an
immediate change that would not involve any
charges against the present officers.
The mere matter Of convenience Of reorgan-
ization, or the betterment Of the public serv-
ice in any way, may be viewed as sufficient
any way signifed more thar this.
He has not given any one to understand that
the terms are to be permitted to expire. This
IL matter that will be settled entirely accord
ing to the circumstances in each case. The in
dications are in accordance with the public ex-
pectation that the new appointments will be
made quite soon,

LATE NEWS FROM CHINA.
Destructive Storms In Hong Kong
Great Damage and Loss of Life.

SAN Francisco, July 1.-The steamer City of
Rio de Janeiro arrived late last night from
Hong Kong and Yokohama. One of the most
destructive transforms in the history of Hong
Kong occurred May 20 and 80. The total rain
fall for thirty-three hours was 2915 inches. at
one time the fall measuring nearly inches per
hour. Hong Kong papers do not venture to
estimate the loss to private property, such as
residences, stores, DC, but place an estimated
loss to the public property at about 500, 000
Scarcely house within an area of 80 square
miles did not suffer. All the roads and streets
in the colony were turned into mud heaps and
innumerable shops and dwellings were flooded.
Most every minute during the storm the vivid
flashes of lightning lit up the streets which
were seen more to resemble the bed Of river
than the roads in the center of the town. The
water-pipes burst at every corner; the roads
were out up almost beyond recognition, and
the level roads were piled with the earth and
loosened stones and debris Of the upper streets
so az to be impossible,
EIGHT MEN WERE KILLED BIZ THE LIGHTNING
in q mat shed. One Chinaman was killed by
the falling in Of mat shed. On one street a
man and boy were drowned in a flooded
house. In ono district house collapsed,
burying several people, four of whom were
seriously or fatally injured. One man was
drowned in the street and another drowned in
a house while it was being borne by the cur
rent through the streets. Fifteen lives in all
are known to have been lost when the steamer
sailed for America. The storm temporarily
shut of the large Tytam water supply, and the
lower portion of the town is still suffering from
serious dearth of drinking water. The week
after the storm the city presented an appear
ance of having suffered subterranean up
heaval and subsidence. During the first part
of the week little progress was made with the
u - IAl.~ n Ii -
therefore arose about the serious danger to
health to which citizens were exposed by the
choking of the drains, and the government was
forced to call in the aid Of the military.

DILLON LEAVES CHICAGO.
He Is Said to be Much Put Out by the
Developments in the Cronin Case.

CHICAGO, July Luke Dillon left this city
last evening for his home in Philadelphia. The
Ne,cs this morning says: Mr.. Dillon has been
very much disgruntIed Of late over the develop
ments in the Cronin case, especially that part
Of it which tended to show that Cronin's death
was decreed by the Clan-na-GaeL This was the
last straw.
For some time the police have entirely ig-
nored Dillon and have had little faith in
his protestations that he was assisting in
ferreting out the doctors murderers. There
are very many who firmly believe that
the chairman Of the executive committee
Of the Clan-na-Gael came to and remained in
Chicago for no other purpose than to defend
the Clan-na-Gael and to do all in his power to
keep the real facts in the conspiracy from
coming out, il they tended to show that the
society murdered Cronin.
POLICEMAN WARNED.
CHICAGO, July 1.-Officer Jesse D. Moore, Of
the Harrison-street police station, who gave
testimony in the Cronin coroner's inquest, and
who is, by the way, an American, Is
tho recipient of warning which may
be more serious than his friends think.
Moore was handed note while on beat on
Madison street few nights ago about $50
his heels and was lost in the gloom Of Franklin
street before the officer could make move.
The note reads as follows:
''Sir: If you know what is best for yourself
you will quit the police force Immediately.
Your every move is being watched by friends Of
Alexander Sullivan. CLAN-NA-GAEL."
Moore felt somewhat anxious over the COM
chief. Several nights since the letter was sent
Moore has noticed people following and shad-
owing him while he was travelling his beat but
he Is not worrying much over it.

District if they will take them off their hands
at what they cost. He also inquired if the
order relative to their use will be revived
Capt. Lusk, to whom the matter was referred,
stated that he knows of no appropriation out of
which the meters could be purchased, but
