Danger of Fire I'm Theatres.

At the performance of the 'Grand Duchess"
q. the Brooklyn Academy Of Music on Saturday
night the immense audience, which occupied
every seat in the house, was thrown into mo-
mentary but dangerous confusion by an alarm
of fire. Presence Of mind and prompt action
on the part of the manager and some of the
audience prevented panic and rush which
would have undoubtedly proved fatal A sat
isfactory explanation of the cause Of the alarm
was given, and the opera went off without any
further interruption. This occurrence, how
ever triaing in itself, should serve as warning
to the public and direct the attention of the
Legislature to the highly dangerous condition
of the greater number of our theatres. There
are in New York and Brooklyn about twenty
FIVE places Of amusement, and, with the excep-
ton Of about six of the principal establish
ments, the means of egress for the audience
are so limited that very small proportion
could make their escape in the event of fire.
Few of them have broad entrances, spacious
passageways and the necessary stairways and
the greater number have only one means of en-
trance and exit The doors should also be
hung in such manner that they can be In
stantly taken off and removed when real
alarm of fire is given. No camp chair should
be permitted to cucumber the asles or passage
ways, and force Of men should be kept in
readiness during performance to direct the
audience in their exit. The experience Of fires
in theatres shows one alarming fact-that in al
most every case the roof has fallen with in
twenty minutes after the breaking out of the fire.
How few of our theatres possess means Of exit
to allow the entire audience to escape within
that space of timel This is very serious
question, and II should be thoroughly investi-
gated by the Legislature. Thousands of peo-
pie go night after night to the theatres and sit
there unconscious of the danger In which they
are placed. Of course the managers take all

The news from Snaloa was very warke. The
rival claimants were about to settle their dispute by
battle.
Senior Ignacio vallarta the new Minister OF Gober-
nacon, had arrived at the capital from Guadaajara.
Senior valarta Is native OF Jalisco, about thirty
seven years OF age, and man of great scholarly at
tainments. He IL one the ablest lawyers in
Mexico. In 1856, when he was the youngest
deputy I'm the Mexican Congress- he made one of the
most remarkable speeches ever delivered in that
body. II characterized by It's intense hostility
to the Church. Senior valarta is man OF the
stamp of General Porfro Daz. He accompanied
President Juarez in his flight to Passo del Norte.
Congress refuses General Sanchez Ochoa permits
sion to take his seat He was again arrested OH the
10th and imprisoned.
A railroad company to connect the capital with
Tuxphan is said to have been formed In New York
with capital OF 100000 They are to CON-
mence work forthwith. No railroad bills have been
passed recently and nothing has taken place with
reference to the Mexico and Vera Cruz Railway since
the vote by which the concession suspended. IL
is generally hoped that Congress Will finally conde-
scend to allow its completion, as this Is impera-
tive for the trade of the country.
The press are busy with the opinions OF American
journals on Mexico, especially those OF the HERALD.
