After William was forced to leave New York, sal go to Nicaragua, Reuben told General Walker the whole story, and William waa public ly recognised by Gsneral Walker, as Rogers. When tbe filibustering expedition failed, William took passage for Ban Francisco, arriving there ia rags. He has prospered measurably, but is not wealthy. His rTi,9tt farm has a fg),00t mortgage on It. The old trouble wave raked up, Lloyd says, by Darr's enmity.

MoUrftih's waU paper asaakitohment Baa. la) to 1 Wabash aveaaa, the largeat aad finest ta the rUy, aad oaa of the meat extensive ia tke iwuMtry, waa totally destroyed by fire between three aad four o'clock this morntag. Tke fir waa already under great headway when a private watchman discovered amoke aad tame toeuiur from the roof way te the back ot the building, He turned In an alarm, but before the fire department arrived the business portion of the elty waa illuminated by the glars, and a general alarm waa sent ia immediately. This brought out all the apparatua that could poeetbly Bad spies to work la, and atreaae of water were poured upon the burning building from the front and rear, and also from the roof of adjoining buildlegs. Long before four o'clock on of the costliest stocks of paper in the country was being carried skyward and distributed in biasing sheets over the city. The upper floors had fallen aad the bulldlag was to all appearance completely gutted. Ureat sections of the biasing paper were being dropped upon the first floor, and it seemed utterly impossible that aay portion of tke building could be aavad. As soon as it became it apparent that tbe building ami Its eon tents were doomed to total destruction, the firemen turned their attenttoa te ta buildings on either aide. On the north stood the fine five-story building onee occupied by A. T. Stewart He Co., and now occupied by Keith, Penham tc Daienderf, wholesale hardware dealers. This building, numbered from 16 to 104 inclusive, was well protected by a strong fire wall and successfully resisted the flames, aa did the building on tke south, also n five-story struoture. It is occupied by O. B. Tennis at Co., millinery; N. F. Sproehnla ft. Co., jewelers; T. B. BaRh, straw geeds; L. K. Crandall ft Co., and T. 1). Marsh ft Co. None of the tenants suffered any loss, except possibly slight damage by water. J. J. McGrath was said to be the owner of the building Wos. 10 to 111 which Is about eighty feet front by 1B0 deep. It was a stone front, and oost about 190,000. Mr. McGrath's stock waa valued, it is said, at nearly half a million of dollars, lloth stook aad bulldlag ar an almost total loss. Shortly after four o'clock Captain Fred Reis ef truck Xo. 3 was standing in tho alley m the roar of the building, when several large stones fell from the top of the building. One of them struck Reis on the left leg, fraoturlag It lie was taken to his home. It Is thought that a man belonging to tbe truck is imprisoned in the building. He was nt work on the first Msor when the roof aad upper floors fell through. At half-past four o'clock John Haneriie, lieutenant of Engine Company No. 38, was badly, possibly fatally, hurt. The members of No. 3S hoisted a ladder up to the south window of the McGrath building, andHeberlie started up with a line of hose. As he reached the top of the ladder the slippery condition of the -sidewalk caused the ladder, whioh was not braced, to slide outward, lleberlle fell a distance of twenty feet, alighting on the back of his head. His skull was fractured. He was conveyed to the 32' s house on Michigan avenue, and at latest accounts was still unconscious aad not expected to 11 ;e more than a few hoars. Chicago, April 18. Michael Burns, ef truck Ke. V, waa standing In a fourthstory window when a sheet of filiate eane out, enveloped kia and he fell inteithe Mazing mass. MORE PRAIRIE FIRES. Terrible Aeeeenta ef Whetaml Destractlen ha Xebrastra At Least a Desen Lives Lest. Lixcolx, Neb., April 18. Along the branch line of tke Burlington ft Missouri railroad a large number of settlers have lost their all by the prairie fires. Railroad men any that for miles every foot of ground is burned over. In Sheridan and other counties tbe fires have t agel almost ae fiercely, aad la oae settlement four live were lost. A report reached the telegraph station through a aaa who traveled thirty miles, aad he said that la the fire tract act one bouse in three remained unscathed. Across the like in Nebraska, the Beaver bottom has been on fire for two days. A t large force of railroad graders oa a line being kuut is southern rurnas uouniv, was surrounded in camp by the fire, and escape was made only through the greatest efforts, the men leaving their tents, eletaes and every thing behind at the mer oy of tbe flames. One man was so seriously burned that he can net recover. A private telegram to this oity from aa official of the road ia that vicinity estimates that at least a dosen lives have beea lost in tke two days' fire. Railroad officials here are very reticent as to the damage incurred, but among the homesteaders and settlers in .northwest- . era Kansas it must be very great, I A part of the towa of Nerealerf that I was burned in a high wind, was reported to have been burned by the inroads of n . prairie fire, but later advice say the fire originated ta the village.

To these seven vessels must now bo added the two crulsm'3 provided for under the new Navy bill, which ara to make nineteen knot mi hour and rany cost $l,fi00,000 each. Heavy premiums and penalties for every quarter knot of speed above or below this maximum are to be put in lite contracts. Besides the new cruisers, we find four fast gun-boats, two of these of 1,700 tons and 870 tons displacement, respectively, being alrendy tinder construction, and the remaining two, whioh are of the larger type, provided' for in the now bill. Ihure is also under construction a pneumatic dynamite gun-boat, which la expected to have a speed of twenty knote, and which will throw from its three tubes projectile containing each 300 pounds of some powerful high explosive. Still another addition authorized is a tor pedo vessel, at a maximum cost of 1100.000, which is not yet designed. More important than any of the vessels yet named are the two armored cruisers authorized at the first session of the late Consress. They will be of about 6,000 tons displacement, heavily armored, with powerful batteries, and having a speed of at least sixteen knots. The sum allowed for these fine line-of battle ships is $2,500,000 each, and tho chief delay in their construction is due to the necessity of providing suitable armor. The Navy bill makes the very handsome appropriation of $-1,000,000 "exclusively far armor and gun steel for these two vo&sois and for the double turret monitors. These monitors, in turn, five in number, the Purital. Am phltrite, Monadnock. Terror and Miantonomoh, must now at laxt be reckoned as part or tiie enoctive navy, since while their sixe and other peculiarities will make them of limited service they will undoubtedly perform a certain function in coast defense. Suali armor the Miantouomoh will carry no doubt can easily be shot through by modern guns of by no means tho largest caliber, but she may prove of some service in harbor defense. For the completion of these monitors, ex elusive of their batteries, the new act appropriate $2,420,000, and for guns for these vessels and the others Already named it appropriates $1,123,362. The record is not ended yet, since the new act provide 11,000,000 toward Boating batteries or ram for coast and harbor defense, the final cost con templatcd being 12,000,000 exclusive of armament. It also makes I50.00Q available for purchasing and testing naval torpedoes, and a further appro priation of $25,000 w granted for buy ing the Stilleto for use as a torpedo bont. The appropriations thus men tioned are exclusive of those made to the Naval Ordnance Bureau for its ordinary work in the manufacture of aanuon, though in this latter the set ting apart of $20,400 for purchasing three steel-cast, rough-bored, six-inch, high-power rifle cannon, one of Bes pernor, one of open-hearth and one of crucible steel, is worthy of special note.

The Statesman from Okie CanMrmlnx the llemeernry In Its Oft-KxppreeMd Opinion tkat the War la Over. Senator Sherman is said by Senator Beck to be one of the three loading candidates for the Republican Presi dential nomination next year. Sher man is swinging round the Southern arc of the circle just now. He is talk ing tariff, currency, and high Republican fol-de-rol. Ou tbe good old bloody shirt issue he "wars you gently a a V m as a sucking uove, as your uncie Billy Shakespeare would say. Just think of this from a leadingllepubltcan Presidential possibility: Tbe war Is over, but the eoursee, bravery and fortitude ef both sides are new the pride and heritage of us all. Think not tbat I came hers to reproach any man for the part lie took in that tight, or to revive la the heart of any on the triumphs of victory or the pangs of defeat. I do not come to make spologies nor do I asK any of you. The war was perhaps unavoidable. All I claim is that the KepuMiean party wan Actuated, not by a spirit of hate or conquest or revesee, but only by a fervent love of the Union, and a determined purpose te maintain tbe eonatitatloa, aa they un dereteod it. Mo taaa In the North questions the honesty ef purpose or the heroism with whleh the Confederates maintained their cause, and yon will give credit for like eouraaje and honorable motives to Unloa soldiers North and South. The attempt to enforce the riKlit of the colored men by National authority has thus far partly failed, and now it la conceded that under the limitations of the constitution the rights of the oltlaens of a State ean only be enforced through State or National tribunals, anil where public opinion m intolerant ierors will not do their duty, a eitizen white or black, m ay be without remedy for the sroe wroax, except the right to migrate te wuere m rights will be resneeted. Who would have thought it would be so soon that Republicans would ho pleading for an abandonment of wf issues? We are glad to see it- H won't only sav the Democrats a great . . . . . , . I. At 1-1 deal 01 trouoic, imc it mrnisuos a healthy indication that the South is prospering, and that tho Republicans recognize it. The South1 s greatest prosperity has come about under Democratic State administrations, and thus indirectly the Republicans pay tho Democrats a high compliment. But what is still better, is that Southern prosperity makes for National prosperity. But just listen to this: Without ebart or oempass te guide them, they (the Democrats) would peek at, derange, agitate and disturb the taagnlHceat Industrie httllt up by the Republican party, nnd you, good people of Tennessee, with unlimited natural resources and abundant raw material, are expected te leave them all aaeeveloped to favor Demoeratie purposes rather than support a urnublloaa policy manifestly In your Interest, k bee run, fortol, th Jttpvblte party did ser wfeVt torn of yau oeeaf staecry en'l ( tear Ivmtw-Jfei yar ef. Yea ara expeciou w pull the ohestnuts out of the fire ia gratitude to lurty In the North for its sympathy for you In the war. Into which they encouraged you te eater, and deserted yen In your extremity. The italics are ours, bherinan nas at last found out that the war is over, and has been over for twenty-five year.". He has made another groat and original discovery, which places mm alongside of Newton, Uopernicus aim Galileo. He tells the Southerners that the Northern Democrat "deserted you la your extremity," which is to say that the Northern Democrats were loyal, ana that tne jtepuuuoan ci that Hiey were disloyal is s beastly lie out of whok oloth, flatly violating that oneef ths ten commandments, which sayas "Thou shalt not "bear false witness against thy neighbor." This Is jiwt what the Southern Democrat! them selves hare been saying ever since tno war, and now their enemies eonnrm their testimony. It is well enough to record and proserve these words I a leading Repub lican, and for that purpose wo take them from the columns of a Republican paper. They are part of s supposed verbatim report so far as it gor., of Sherman's Nashvllls speech. IMJ will d to quote next summer, and again next year. Ws nd it a very interesting speech. It is h very striking spesoh, too, ami a Striking Departure iium im neyed old Republican harangue m blood nnd Hre and gush. But it does sound funny to heat- a died-in-tho-wool bloody-shirt shrleker trying to cricm the Southerners uy Miimg insm the Northern Democrats were loyal tke war.-I MMm Xanehir,
