His future movements have not been made public, but there is no doubt that from this time forward the blows will fall thick and fast until the lost intruder has been expelled from Okalonia. An impression prevails that the nest at Hock Falls, a few miles biles below Iiunne- well, will bo raided first, the printing press and belongings confiscated, and the con* tents of the notorious drug store destroyed, and that l'ayne and his ring leaders will be marched to Fort Smith to answer the numerous indictments in the Federal court.

In obedience to this order the lieutenant-general of the array bu direct ed by telegraph the commandijg general of the division of the Missouri to remove from the Territory all persons who may be within its limits in violation of law and of the President’s proclamation of July 1. General Augur, who in July bad been di rected to make the removal at the request of the Secretary of the Interior, expressed unwillingness to actnnless an order should come direct from the President, on the ground that without such an order officers making the removal might be held per sonally responsible. Fire In New York. New York, August 6.—The dyeing and cleaning establishment of Charles Franke. at 018 North Fourth street, was wrecked this morning by an explosion, resulting in a fire. Tbc whole fire department of the up-town district was called out to bat tle with what threatened to assume the proportions of a disastrous conflagration in a very dangerous neighborhood. The Hames were confined to the dye shop, but wrecked that completely. Three men were burned, but not fatally. The build ing is five stories high and stands among tenements which are thickly populated. Ordinarily a number of girli are at work in the place, but it had not been running since Saturday. This morning a fire was made under the boiler, when an explosion occurred, caused, it Is thought, by gas. Other explosions occurred, which burst up the second floor, and the barrels of benzine stored under it caught fire from scattered fagots and blew up like so many kegs of powder. At the last report the entire front of the building was blown with a crash against tho wall on the oppo site tide.

Washinton, August 3.—The back part of the United States Hotel building, situated on Pennsylvania Avenue, a abort distance nest ot the capitol, fell in without warning this evening, and buried in the ruins a number of the inmates. The building has a frontage of 125 feet on the avenue and a depth of 185 feet the rear end opening upon the alley leading frorafThird to Four- and-a-Haif street. A small portion of the rear wall was the first to give way and a geneggl collapse of the rear portion imme diately fallowed, sending up a great clond of dust. A general fire alarm was sounded, which brought to the scene of the disaster a number of engines and hook and ladder companies and a force of police. There were about forty-five persons in tho hotel at the time the disaster occurred, includ ing gnests and employes, and it was im possible at first to ascertain how many were bnried in the mass of debrit, which occupied the ground npon which the rear portion ol the building nad stood. Cries and groans could be heard from the ruins, showing that all who were there Imprisoned were not dead, A large force of men went to work at once, and in the course of an hour Ernest Snooks, a boy 11 years old, and Annie Dickson, a colored chambermaid, were taken out, both alive but badly in jured.
