Her fever 1s yielding, and the iuo'cations are that it will entirely saoside Within a few days,” The Treasury ‘“‘Expeditors”? MORE OF THEIR OPERATIONS, ‘The bay rum or “‘de-ordorized alcohol,” which bas appeared in the Treasury peculations inves- gation, promises to be one of the leading arti- cles of comment. Already the Treasury folks ask cach other if they got any bay rum when the insinuating deal went round. It 1s further explaiued by Mr. Pitney’s friends that the bay Tum was Dever psid for, but was sent back 19 the dealer from whom it was bought. This 13 Gwe, Butit ts also true that it was not sent back until after the commencement of the in- vestigation, and then it was not all sent back. A Portion of it had been used. As stated in yesterday’s STaR the sales of property by Cua- todian Pitney at public auction generally brought out a lot of stuff that was worthless. There have, however, been exceptions. On one occasion a LARGE LOT OF MAHOGANY BOXES, which cost the Treasury $6 aplece, and which were almost as good as when bought, were to besold. Many ofthe clerks went to the sale in order to get some of them, They found that the boxes were acid in ar A dealer who was Known to be in with the ring purchased the lot. Nobody was allowed to buy single voxes, nor were the clerks allowed to club to- gether and buy as many as they wanted. ‘Tae favored dealer turned right around and sold off bis purchases singly and at treble the price which he had pala. tf x is further related how the fattening tew ad a ROOM OVER THE STORE of a well-known grocery dealer in this city. This dealer is put down as one of the most favored of all from whom Pitney bought. There was much fun, according to all accounts in that room. A fashionable club might have envied the enjoyment of those who had entrance to the “room over the store.’” Whether the owner of the establishment or the Treasury paid for the splendid suppers given there is not known. It will be a week or more before the investt. gatiog committee will submit its report. It will be of a Sees hature, and, tt ts said, will in- clude another branch of the Treasury’ depart- ment which makes large purchases. Continuing the Five Per Cents. THE LIMIT OF $250,000,000 EXCERDED ALREADY. The limit of 250,000,000, at which the option of presenting 5 per cent registered bonds for continuance at 31; per cent was fixed by the one hundred and third call for bonds, has been exceeded by the notices received by the Secre- tary to-day, It cannot be stated at this time what the excess amountsto. It has not yet been determined what course to pursue relative to the netices received in excess of the $250,000,000. Secretary Windom sald shortly after 12 o'clock, when he was about starting for the Executive Mansion to attend the meeting of the Cabinet, that he would probably be pre- pared to give some information bearing on the subject later this afternoon. The facts in the matter will be laid before the Cabinet with a view to eliciting a decision as to the most practicable mode of procedure.

A Building Blown to Atoms w 15 to 45 Persons In It. St. JOSEPH, Mo., May 24.—An explosion of 15 barrels of Danforth’s fluid stored in a cellar on Edmund street, this city, occurred at 9 o'clock jast night. The floor over the cellar was oceu- pled as @ saloon and billiard room, and was kept by a colored man. A number of negro: were In the saloon af the time, all of whom lost their lives.

Itis said that one white woman was In the place at the time of the casualty. The building was instantly and completely demol- ished. ie inmates were all buried in the debris, which was completely enveloped by the hot flame of the burning fluid. The e‘Torts ofthe fire department to subdue the flames Were of no avail. Several thousand excited ae are now surrounding the scene of the igaster, and many women and children are screaming and bewallipg the loss of their hus- bands and fathers or friends. The concussion shook the buildings several blocks around. % Howdy Students Expelled. Exutsr, N. H..
