Washington correspondent telegraphs
that l)oth the secretary and acting
secretary, positively stated last night
that thero is no intention of sending
the Uhai'latlon north to co-operate
with the Uorwin. After coaling at
Seattle, the secretary says she will go
lo San Francisco. Then probably
proceed witbo .t much delay to the
Hawaiian islands, where, according to
Eear Admiral Brown, at present the
Charleston scorns to be needed.
There is little doubt that the original
purpose in sending the ('karltelon
to the Pacific slope was iu connection
wilh theBehriug sea troubles. This be-
j came apparent since the fact that or
. ders for her return were issued just at
t lin timn f T.ord Salisbury's wnrninir.

scenes at Hoi olulu unless his new or
ders showed 1 hat there were urgent rea
sons elsewhere, aud it is quite plain
that nothing has transpired on the
Pacific co.'ibt to warrant her immediate
! piesence there. That she is not going
north now is probably because there
lias been further developments be-
j twecn the two countries on the Beh-
j ring sea matter, of which the public
has not yet learned, thai makes such a
course necessary.

Will the Mouth Kver ilite the Vav)
A Frenchmau has discovered that
the human mouth is gradually work
ing its way around toward the left ear,
nnd accounts for it by the invincible
tendency of men to eat chiefly with
the teeth on the left side of the mouth,
says the Springfield Union. This
wears out the teeth on that side and
gives the jaw a cant toward the left.
In the course of a few ages it is be
lieved that the mouth will approach
the left ear, and there is some danger,
if the process keeps on long enough,
that it may get around to the back of
the neck.

Chicago, August 2G. McYicker's
theatre, Ko. 82 Madison street, one of
the finest theatres in tho cit was
practically destroyed by fire this
morning. The loss is about $250,000.
The fire started about three o'clock,
and at 4:o0 was still raging. All the
down town fire departments are play
ing on the building, endeavoring to
prevent its- spreading to the valuable
buildiugs adjoiuiug. One fireman
was fatally injured by the falling walls.
Several others are reported injured.
The fire which originated in McVick

Chicago Tribune building, which is
now on fire, and the flames have spread
from the rear of McYicker's building
across the ally, doing considerable
damage, aud also to Monroe street.
Chapin ic Gore's liquor house, and the
Bennett hotel are now on lire. Tho
loss will probably approach 6300.000.
McYicker's theater wa3 almost de

pile of mortar and bncks. Ho was
fearfully mangled and is probably
fatallv injured. JJnlley s comrades on
the roof barely escaped with their
lives. They heard the wall crack and
ran to the center of the root just as
the great mass went down. Thev sub
sequent! v escaped.
The fire started in the basement of
the Lithgow saloon, which occupied
the west half of the building, and
smouldered among piles of straw for
nearly an hour before it was dis
covered. By that lime flames burnt
through the basement windows.
"When the department arrived every
thing under the big theatre, including
the dressiugroomSjStage paraphernalia
and baggage, was ablaze. The fire
burned so fiercely that a second bat
talion of engines was called out, and
it required all they could do to keep
tho falling Uames from eating a path

The loss to the theatre building will
not be less than 125,000. The entire
interior of Iho theatre is practically
destroyed.
Five companies of firemen, who
were stationed near the main entrance,
barely escaped with their lives. The
brave fellows were pushing through to
the stage, when they heard a loud
crashing above head. They instantly
retraced their steps, and had barely
gotten outside in the lobby when,
with a roar, the falling gallery came
down and told of the destruction of
the theater.
W. Miller, truckman, and another
fireman were also injured, but not
! fatally. Fireman DnflV, who came
down with the falling wall, will, it is
now stated, recover.
The fire communicated to several
small hotels in the immediate vicinity,
but no serious damage was done, ex
cept by water, and the tenants will
continue to do business at their old
stands.
McVicar is now at Saratoga. Hi3
son and manager says that the theater
will be rebuilt and reopened in thirty
davs.

The war between the fishermen on
the Sacramento river and the can
nerynien still continues and the re
sult is that large quantities of sal
mon aro brought to thi3 city every
day and sold at ruinous prices. Yes
terday while honsewives were paying
10 and 12l cents a pound for salmon
iu the markets they could have gone
to the fishermen's wharf and pur
chased all they wanted for less than a
cent a pound.
In the afternoon teu or twelve
boat-loads of large salmon that had
been caught in the morning were ex
posed for sale. Some weighed as high
as forty pounds, and they were sold
cleaned at a uniform price of 35 cents
each. A colored man made money by
selling gunny sacks at 5 cents each to
wrap the fish in.
A fisherman told a Call reporter
that the rich fishermen were mostly
Greeks and that they had formed a
combination er union and agreed not
to sell to the canneries below a certain
figure. If a man breaks the agreement,
he said, "he will be killed sure and
his boat destroyed."
The regular felucca men complain
greatly about the river men coming
and taking berths at their wharf.
They say they pay no dock dues and
hurt their trade so that several of
the regular fishing boats aro laid up.
The wharfinger and collector at the
wharf, they say, are "doing politics"'
at San Jose, and they have no one to
complain to to make the in
vaders from up the river pay dock
dues. 8an Francisco Call, 23.

Quebec, Aug. 26. The most gigan
tic railway system ever projected in
Canada, with the single exception of
the Canadian Pacific, is about to bo
started. The promotors are chiefly
French nnd English capitalists. Sir
Hector Langevin, minister of public
works for the Dominion, and Sir
Charles Topper, a high commissioner
for Canada in London, are largely in
terested parties. The scheme is to
build a railway eastward from Quebec,
somo S00 miles, to St. Charles bay,
on the Labrador coast. From which
point large steamers are expected to
make the voyage to Milford Haven, in
Wales, in three and one-halt days.
By this route it is expected that
passengers and perishable freight can
bo carried from Chicago to London
inside of seven days. The company
calls itself the North Canadian Atlan
tic Eailwav and Steamer enmnnnv.
The capital of the company is 20,000,
000, but it has authorized itself to
bond its road for the purchase of
steamships.

stated this morning that the chief, said
that the action of the federation was
merely a conservative course that they
were compelled to take by reason of
their charters. The words of sympa
thy, however, were merely words oE
caution to the members of the federa
tion to look out for any encroachment
upon their rights, and Powderly be
lieves that they will seize the first op
portunity to strike. That opportunity,
ho predicts, will occur before three
days. In fact, Powderly almost as
sured the members of District Assem
bly No. 216 at their secretmeeting last
night that a general strike would soon
occur. It is further claimed upon the
part of the Knights this morning, that
as yet only a part of their men are out
on this road, and that when a general
order goes out there will bo moro
trouble yet. Tho general order
for a strike of all the Knights oE La

given to-night, and on all the other
connecting roads aiding the Central to
