"o Hones of the Passage of the Silver Hill by Congress the Present Session. Piobablo Passage of a Bill Build a Navy Other Mattere. to THE NAVY. The Proposition to Hulld One Likely ISecotiif Law. to Sj-rrlal to the S-'ontintl. Washington, Feb. V). It is very probab'.e that Mr. Kandali'a proposition to bai'.J a cavy will become a law. Then a boari will be appointed by President C'eve'und and the work will b well under way wiihia the time of the next Congress. It is not thongbt probable that the construction of thips other than for mode Is will bs bgnn nnrfer two jeas. Ia fact, it ia i-a'clated that it will take that length of tires to ascertain first wb t is wanted. 'Ihe cost of the new navy is neither kjitwn, guessed at nor contemplated in any way. Wise rlgurers bein at ? 10,000,000 and end at 70,0C0,0C0. It is presumed that between those limili the araount will finally rest. ii is Deuevea mat u win be years beforo the work will be completed. Then we will have a navy as gocd as France, Ku-aia, Turkey and some of the smaller Nations, but not as powerful as Germany or England, yet the plant will be good enough to enable the United ßlaes to make read 7 for a successful battle with eitherof those countries in a very short time. Little is fc&id about where the work Is to be done. As this board, provided for by Mr. Kandall, has fall power and discretion, the clScers in charge of the Government's Navy Yards may be bidders and the Government may do the work herself. In that event the Government s works will be reconstructed and enlarged. That is the moat popular idea of it ail,' too. It will never do to permit foreign shipbuilders to enter Into competition with those of this country. The work can not go abroad. Those who oppose this Idea and they largely predominate say there would be blood riots and aoy amount of bloodshed should a j arc grow oat of these hard timer, snd argue that one of the bvst solutions of relief is found in distributing sime of the Government's iurplus in needed improvement', and having all the work done at home from domestic materials. Not a whisper of opposition baa so far been iai?ed in a responsible quarter to a new navy. All contention bangs upon the feasibility of p'aas lor procuring it, and there is always scuie who will object to everything. No Hopes of the Pandas) of the Silver Hill Tili Session. Special to the FentineL Washington, Feb. P 'There will be nothicqdone with the Dorsheimer or any other silver bill by tbia Congress," said Chairman C'and of the Houss Committee on Coinage, Weights and Measures, to your correspondent this afternoon. "Nor will there be any financial legislation whatever for a jear," he added. "Doej not the impress of Mr. Clevaland carry a weight with it on the Dorsheimer bill?" "Well, hardly enoueh to pass it at this late hour," replied Mr. B'and. "I don't believe it would be possible to pass any bill of general importance, excepting one making appropriations, during the remainder of the session. Then Mr. Cleveland has net & token in behalf of the Do 8l:eimer bill. It is only presumed it ia of h -ideas on the subject. That is not enough 1 1 have any effect. I thlnfc tb country ought to know, and that as soon aa possible, that there is to te no legislation atfecling money by this Congress, and, to my mind, it is im politic to agitate the question just at this time, when there should be a steady confidence. ' The Yar:ou3 bills on subjects relating to money matters are now considered shelved, eo far as this Congress is concerned. It is known that Mr. Cleveland is much concerned about the business interests of the country, and many believe he will in some way tnnounce a proposed policy soon after inauguration which will be intended to ease matters. The New Orleans Exposition. Special to the Sentlnau WAsuiroTON, Feb. 10 A good deal of distress his been evinced during the past week by the Washington representatives of the New Or'cacs Exposition, and mutterings of a financial failure and a closing' up by the Sheriff, and all that have been heard. It is stated at the room cf the House Committee on Appropriations that the application for an a Jditlonsl loan of $öö0,0C0 woald be refused. A member of the committee said this afternocn, however, that this statement was given out for a purpose, and that it was believed by a majority of the committee that the loan would be approved and recommended to the House. "In that event I think it will be adopted," said he. "A strong case is made. It bears the approval of the President and his Cabinet, and after this excitement and talk dies down say two or three days before the clcse of Cong'rees the bill will doubt ers go through. The Govern -

ment, yen eee, indorsed the exposition at the outset by authorizing the appointment of Commissioners, receipt of exhibits duty free, granting a miliioa-dollar loan, and all that eortof thinjr, and now if it fails it will te looked upon a3 tic failure of the Government, just as the President faye." "Do you think it would fail if the loan of

! iXO.CCO is refused?" I 4,Yee, I do that Is, It would fizzle cat I within a month, and we would get no credit I for the effort to make It a success. Tie fact is, unless we expect to make these expositions the offspring of the Government and etacd good for the expense of them we mn?t Lot give them the Government's credential." About the Washington Mouument Dedication. crucial to the Sentinel. Washington, Feb. 1'. Same disappointroent is expired by these who have in charge the arrangements for next Saturday's dedicst on ceremonies in not receiving the encouragement anticipated from representatives of foreign countries. As. might have been expected, it will be thoroughly an American affair. Even English representatives will tske no more thn a nominal part in the exercises or parade. The Germans will be glad of this, however.

The Warner Committee to day continued its investigation of tha Peaäiou oßi2d. Representative Hart, cf Ohio, was pmsnt as examiner on lh8 part of tha minority. ti. F. Pawjer, Chief Inspector of theagsnts' division, repeated his opinion that the amount of work performed since 1 '0 members were added to the force was preportionately tsmallcr tban before. He was unaMe to ßive any specific facta to warrant stich an opinion. When the 1 r0 men had been added and the increase was found to be only T per cent , he found a reason for his conclusions that tho new men were mill stones arouid tLe necks cf the old service. He cces not otiieve, as a general ming, tht I.V) men could do more work than :.,!"), but he recalled an instance where the force of ollices was doubled, and for leveral months therealter the average monthly results showed a falling 3ff.

He showed that he paid Special Acent Esthbone, of the Pension Office, in full for the months of September and October, and for fourteen days in November and thirty days in December, 1SS4. Mr. Rogers, of the committee, read from llathbone's testimony before the tiprioger Commission in Cincinnati statements which showed witness was in Cincinnati upon leive during the first half of October. Much stress was laid upon this point, and the records were examined narrowly, showing beyond a doubt that Kathbone received pay for the time he wa3 absent during Otibar in fact, for the whole month. Witne. swore the pay-rolls for that month had bee., approved by the Commissioner acting a Commissioner of Pensions, and was now in the Treasury. Upon cross-examination Mr Hart developed the fact that Kathbone wa! entitled to thirty days and pay; that hf actually bad been eb?ent a var and forty Kixdajs, of which only treaty-nine wert With pay.

Utk Ono of tho Finest Business Blocks of Chicago Burned Othsr Fir68. PHILADELPHIA Visited bj a Dtrncllve rire on Chestnut Street. Phii.a TT.i.rniA, Teb. r. 10a. m. Adestructive tire is dow burning fiercely on Chestnut street, between Second and Front streets. The locality is devoted entirely to large warehouses acd business houses. Tne tire originated in an unknown manner in be fcf:h story of the brick stroctaro No. Chestnut street, occupied by Stephenson A. Co, Gars k Stratton, Richard A, Blvthe, tnd Garside A: Co., dealers in cotton and wool. After the tire was discoverc J and the fianes burst from the windows, the front cf ti- c upper sloiies fell out and crashed down Into the street. The loud noise thus made caused tie rumor that an explosion h?d also cccorred, bat it is not yet known wr ether or not there wss an explosion ia the building. When the wall feil a laborer, John McK8y, was enaqed in removing a safe from the adjoining building. He was buried under the falling tricks and Instantly killed. A horse attached to a hese cart, standing in front cf the buildiDg. wa3 also killed. The llair.es spread rapidly to the buildings on the cast, and numbers 121 and 12 Chestnut street were enveloped. The former buildirg was ocenpied by T. C. Beat'y Ä: Co., dealers in worsted varns; the latter by Georpe H McFadden & Co., cotton dealers So far as known two men were killed at the fcene of the fire John McKay or McCorioick, driver of hose cart, and J. P. Blyer agf d eighteen yeais. Losri are very heavy. A rough estimate is that they will not be less tban 2,000,000 Nine larga business houses are almost comp'etely burned out ani six others dama?jd. Four other3 incurred losses which many thoufands of dollars will not repair. The burned buildings are as follows: Stephenson & Co., Torrecce C. Beatty Co., E. Lebibach Sc Co., Thielens .v Co., the Camden Woolen Works, and G. H. McFadden itCo. This includes -the buildings on the north side of Chcslnut street between Second and Lititia.excepting the Corn Exchange Na tiocal Bank, which at this hour is not injured except in the rear, but as the fire is still burnlrg it is in great danger. The tire spread from the rear of this building to the right and left, and two buildincs on Secord street were badly affected. M. Homer it Son's building, 47 South Second street, a3 totaiJy destroyed, and Pitkin Tborras, 47 South Second, damaged. Tho first: building to take fira on Letitia street was H. H. N. Bennett k.

He trur'ton of Ou of the Fiueat ' blocks ia the' City. OtMce Cui 'A;o, Feb. li A fire is now raging with great fury in Grannl's blozk, east side of Dearborn etrest, jast eouth of WashingIon. The tire started at 5: 15 this afternoon, and half an hour later it was found nece3eary to turn in a general alarm. Twelve engines and a stand-pips are now playing on the flames, and an immense crowd of several thousand people is watching the apparent destruction oL one of the finest office blocks in the city. It is iaipos f-ibla row to estimate the los3. At the time the fire broke out the employes in the offices ot the building were preparing to leave for the night, and as far as learnei, all euaped safelv. The fire ia said to have originated at the bottom of the elevator shaft, where the past week there has been a rew boiler put in and other improvements made. The latest reports saya the rlanies are not yet out and already the loss by fire acd water is very consideraole. Or.e hour from the discovery of the fire, it was plain tb whole blocfc must go. Tha ilamcs then burst through the roof, aad brilliantly illuminated the scene for blocks around. Twenty engines were now pouring enormous volumes of water into the burning bailding, yet the tlamts teemed to defy all attempt's to suppress thera. At the roof fell in, tending a shower of sparks up, and a rumor tbst the walls were on the point of falling scattered the crowd in all directions. Toe material cf the roof could now be eeen burninn cn the fifth lloor, end the flanies poured out ct every window ia front and above tha second story, and it wai feared to be impoi sible to save the Portland II oct, on the corner of Washiagion and Dearhornstreets. Oa account of the intense cold, it was difficult to employ the engines to the best advantage. Occasienally a pipe would burst, and it would be several minutes before the water could be brought again to play where it was most needed. The stand pipe did good service ia drenching the adjoining walls where there was danger of the fire catching. In Grannis Blo:k are two banks. They are the Continental National and the the National Bank of Illinois. The suddenness cf the fire came nesr resulting disastrously to the valuable b-oks and papers of both bsnks. It was rumored that the vaults had not been closed aad that heavy loss would ensue. Irjquiry, howeyer, proved the rumor unfounded. The vaults had been closed and the ofiicfcr3 of both institutions caid they were not at all anxious as to the safety of their funds. The vaults were all fire-proof, and the only inconvenience would be the delay while waiting fo? the ttkles to become sufficiently cooled off to make access to them possible. Before o'clock everybody about the neighborhood of the fire having oilices in the building, or being employed there, had no doubt of the total loss cf building aad contents, except the valuables in the fire-proof safes. The building Is for the most pArt occupied by lawyers, architects and insurance ' agencies, many of whom will lose everything contained m the offices. It is now known that two of the most valuable law libraries in the city are totally destroyed, besides valuable papers which the occupants had not sufficient time vo put In the vaults. Grannis block was erected about three years ago by W. C. D. Grannie, President of

the Union National Bant, of this city, at a ccitcf il7000. lae building was insarei for $ 1-0,(00. Its location wai mot desirable for office purposes, and the building being arranged according to the moat approved plans ai to convenience, its tenants were fcr the rocst part prominent in their pro5s'oEs, having ctlless expressly fitted up, which fact makes the estimates t fnrnituie, etc., amount well up to SlöK?). Th fcre was practically under control at '.' o'clock, and fears as to the safety of e. ijoiniDg blocks were no longer entertained.

Advices from Gakdul Wells of thejl7thjre;-ort the arival of General Wood and three coaipacies of infantry. Reports frora Abu Klea, dated the 13th, state that General Builer, after rendering Gordon's two steamers useless by removing their machinery, started across tho desert, and arrived at Abu-Klea without firing a shot. The reason lor ths abandonment of Gubat was aa advance mads by Ei Mahdi with 0,000 men from Orndurrcan, and c retreat w?s ordered when the main b Jy of Arabs was twenty miles off. but aa advance gnard cf 3.C00 ne n, with five cannon, wa? within leven miies ot tlia British lines. General Bnller had le?s tbau 2.000 men all told. The British will retire to Gkdul Wells, and may pessib'y continue the retreat to Korti, in erüer to concentrate the foice there under tho command of General Wolseley for a irtsh advance. It Is said the Mshdi is traveling in state, with 40.000 to jO.CCO followers, toward Metemr.en. Oa the Hth instant the Mahdi with his army was twenty miles from Gubat, and was marching slowly. General Brackenbury. commanding the troors under the late General Earle, has telegraphed from Uesi Island that the cavalry cur; s entered Salamat on the 15th Inst., finding it deserted. The cavalry were then about five miles in advance of the infantry. The 1 oises and camels hadfrojt ea'ely through Shrkcok Fass, which had been prepared for dtfenee, but was also abandoned by the enemy. General Brackenbury hopes to reach Abu Hamed by the 20th insL, but doubts if he can concentrate there before the 2' th, cwiDg to the necessity he will be under of erasing the mounted trccps to the other side of the river. Any estimate of the time necessary to do this, General Brackenbury says, must be very uncertain because of the difficulties presented by the Nile at its present stage.
