SOMETHING TO HAPPEN"
United States Men-of War Ordered Into
Service.

Service.
New York, June g. "Something is GO
ing TO happen, and pretty quickly toe"
was in everybody's mouth Tuesday night
at the Brooklya Navy Yard. The first
lieutenant Of, the steel cruiser Atlanta
found himself in the afternoon in COM
mand of large body Of men who had
been hastily ordered to "turn to" and
assist in getting the Atlanta out Of dry
dock.
The order received was that the Atlanta
must be out yesterday morning and that
the cruiser Boston must 90 in dock at once
What this sudden activity means nobody
appears to know, but ii is thought some
thing important is in the wind when it
becomes necessary to work by night in
order TO get vessel ready for going out Of
dock.
These proceedings are decidedly yster-
ious. Some OF the naval officers suspect
that the condition OF affairs in Hayti
means work foi the cruisers. II Is said
that the authorities at Washington fear
roting as a result Of Legitime's downfall
and believe that American interests will
be greatly jeopardized, The Ossippe is
the only American vessel in Haytian wa
tiers and should riot and bloodshed run
rife in the island, nothing short Of pow
erful force could save the lives OF the
foreigners.
The fact OF the Boston being ordered
into dock appears to naval officers conclu-
sive that she is needed for cruise, and
that the cruise is a very sudden one.
After the length Of time the Boston has
been lying at the navy yard doing no
service the order for cleaning her bottom
could DO prompted only by desire to
make her most efficient for fast steaming.

TnE Philadelphia Timo, treating Of the
responsibility Of the builders Of the dam,
the breaking Of which almost blo,tsd
Johnsiown from the map Of Pennsylvania,
says wisely aud well that III the dam had
broken under the pressure Of an

charged with ~ maintenance must have
been condemned hut this was an cxiraor-
binary food And while the result proves
anew the peril Of combining mountain
streams In narrow limits, aud especially Of
constructing such reservoir where II will

necessarily follow that the construction
was not equal to any strain that could

SEATTLE, W. T., June 6.-Fire broke
out at 2;30 O'Clock this afternoon in the
Pontius building, on Front street. and by
43O o'clock was raging over district OF
five or six blocks with tremendous fury.
The wind was from the north and the
direction OF the fire was along the water
on Front street and from the water front
TO the big brick block between Columbia
and San Francisco streets. The indica-
tons were that tho whole business portion
OF the city would be swept away involv-
ing loss OF millions. The magnificent
San Francisco store and other stores in the
row were on fire, and the whole block
seemed doomed. The local firemen were
helpless in the face Of the calamity and
telegraphed in all directions for aid.
AT 4:30 o'clock pm. the conflagration
was rushing through the heart OF the city.
To add to the peril, smart breeze began
blowing off the bay, tanning the flames,
and about the same time thousand feet
OF hose was caught in the advancing blaze
and destroyed. TIE Opera House block,
the block opposite, all the warehouses at
the foot of Columny street and also the
great group Of buildings in the rear Of the
PoS-hr,eiligence newspaper office are now
burning. The people in the Yester Block,
occupied by the Western Union Telegraph
Company and the Post Intelligence, we're
hurriedly moved out. At this hour the
Western Union had only one wire undis-
turbcd, over which this item is being sent.
At o o'clock pm. thirty-one blocks had
been burned in the very heart Of the city,
and there is imminent danger Of the loss
Of about twenty blocks more. Tho FIRE
was not a; all under control, and had
reached the great coal bunkers. Should
these be destroyed the flames would GER
tainly be communicated 10 u large number
Of wooden buildings, and the loss in
creased many fold. Seven millions Of dol
lars has already been lost by the fire.

Walter slept the sleep brought on by
exhaustion. He was aroused from bis
slumbcrs by John Miles shaking him
by the shoulder. saying:
''See here, sir; ye better git up if ye
want any breakfast"
Walter started up, rubbing his eyes
and without word arose and dressed
himself
"Feedin's all done an breakfast
ready" said John.
Walter went down to the well and
drew a bucket of cold water from it,
and, though the morning air was sting
ing cold, proceeded to wash his face
and arrange his toilet in the rear yard.
"Wcre you at the village Yesterday
asked Mr. Miles, coming up to Walter.
"Yes. SIR" Walter answered, and
his eyes fell as he remembered IN what
business he was engaged. 81 perhaps
did wrong in going to the village with
out your consent o How! lie wished
he had not gone at all.
"lt was all right" the farmer re-
piled. But try as he would, Walter

Mr.. Brown. the wounded man, came
out to the breakfast table for the first
time since he was brought TO the house.
Pinkey did not come into the dining
room. Breakfast passed in silence,
AMI then Walter rose and retired to the
barn to prepare for the days work.

said Mr.. Miles, coming from the house
toward him
"You haven't been here quite a
month yet, have you?'
mo, SIR" Walter answered, feeling
n choking sensation in the throat.
"Well here is n full month wages,
| don't want n hand any more" Mr..
Miles handed him the money and
turned away.

THAT is all right, Mr.. Miles, you

whenever you see fit; but hope we
may be friends. You have been very
kind to me-
Mr.. Miles tried to speak, but utter

down, something in his throat, the
farmer said: "Ycs, I'll always be the

dropping sadly at the mention Of the
wounded Californian name.
"Iiev they never found the man

"NO."
That does all seem strange, some

head, knowingly. 81 can't understand
it all, but it will come out all right l

men?" asked Aunt Margaret.
81 presume they are. The sheriff Is

Mr.. Brown every few days" said
Pinkcy. As she spoke her beautiful
dark eyes were bent upon the floor.
"Iicy We heard what the people have
been saying about yer hand?' asked
Aunt Margaret.
"Who?" asked Pinkey, as her heart
gave great leap. She unsuccessfully
tcigncd ignorance.
"Why, Walter Brownlield."
"NO," she answered, yet her con
science smOte her. She almost felt rs
il she had spoken falsely. She knew
not why. The rumor Was in the air;
she knew IL, yet it had failed TO reach
her ear in any distinct form.
What about him?' asked Uncle
Dan.
They say a. how he did it, an
swcrrd Aunt Margaret.
Did what?' And Uncle Dan spoke
harshly. He was not cross 10 Aunt
Margaret. But lac just betrayed the
least anxiety to know what some one
had said, with the prccOnccivcd idea
Of denying it.
"Why, that he knocked the stranger.
Mr.. Brown, down, with the intention
OF robbing him.
Uncle Dan sPrang to his feet and
brought his cane down on the floor
with a whack, that threatened to either
break it or drive it through.
"Don' I repeat that again, mother,

Pinkey looked at Uncle Daniel. o,
how she thanked him for those words!
How she wished she could proclaim his
prediction from the houSc-tops, to all
the world! 1t was what she herself
felt. but dared not utter.
Uncle Daniel had unknowingly cx-
pressed her very thoughts; as she
turned her large beautiful eyes upon
the old man, the unbiddcn tears
flowed down her checks. Aunt
Margaret was alarmed. and asked
what was the matter, but this was "a
Joyous grief too sacred 10 be shared. by
even the best of friends; and, hiding
her face in her handkerchief, the girl
left the room.
