Inhalation OF Juarez as President
His MesSage-AnOt ther Revolution

CITY OF Mexico, September II, via
NlrAuoRAs, October 2.-Juarez was in
stalled as President last night amid
great excitement. There arerumors Of
change in the Cabinet. All is quiet
here. The Presidents message is con-
cIiarorv but firm. 1t recommends ma
trriaI improvements, the building OF rail-
'5ais and protection of the coast, and
sanctions the making Of peace with
'oreign nations.
The President has the majority Of
Congress. Another revolution, howev-
er, has begun in the State of Nueva
Leon. General Pedro Martinez has
McnoUnced against the Juarez Govern
ment and State authorities, Gaelena
ana several other chieftans have Joined
the movement, and their combined
,orces are said to be marching on Camar-
20 and Matamoras with view to occu-
pving the Custom House on the frontier.
The first step taken by the authorities,
Of Neuva Leon was to throw into prison
al the employees of the Federal Gov
eminent. it is expected that the revo-
luton will become general.
The Matamoras frontier is as yet
0uiet. General Palaire Cortinas has
issued q proclamation, urging the people
to fight for Juarez. Great prepara,
tons are making at Matamoras for de-
fence. All the cavalry have left for the
front, and there is great excitement re-
ported from all parts of Mexico.
In the quarrel between the Captain
Of the vessel Brothers and the Me1i-

CHICAGO.
Terrible COnnagratiOn.

CHICAGO, October 7-Midnight.-A
terrible fire is raging in the lumber
yards and docks along the west side OF
the river, near Vanburen street. Mil
lions and millions Of feet Of lumber, and
many buildings are already swept away.
A high wind from the South is carry
ing large cnders northward, and other
parts ofthe city are in great danger Ev-
erything is dry as finder, as no rain has
fallen for weeks. An alarm was sound
ed for another fire. By the first, the
large elevators and shipping along the
river are in great danger. Some high
coal piles have caught, and will prob
ably burn. The lumber piles on the
lake took fire, and quickly became
wrapped in flames.
1t is impossible to give the loss at
present, but it must reach hundreds of
thousands of dollars. The whole fire
department is at work.
LATER, October S.-l230. A. NJ.
The fourth alarm Of the evening has
just sounded, showing that the flames
have reached a new locality.
CHICAGO, October S-3 A. M.-The
firemen are still at work. Every drop
of water is we'll applied.
STILL LATER.
AT $50 this morning all the Durge
avenue fire was over, and the
fire was under complete control in
every direction, although the heav-
ems were still red with the reflection
from the burning material. Fire Mar
shall Williams has sent number OF
engines to their houses. 49,
At 9 A. NJ. the ruins were still
smouldering, and engines were still
playing, but all danger is over. Esti'
mates of insurance, furnished by person
who is well posted, but not entirely au'
theneic, it being based upon the amounl
Of business done by the respective
companies. The aggregate is about
s45O,OOO to 100000. The loss will
doubtless be double or treble this
amount. The following are among the
principal losers: o. w. Barret d Co.
s25, 900 to $4,000; R. w. Hosmer
$4,000 to $4,000; A. James & Co.
$25 900 to $4,000: Gordon & Pasco
$4,000 to $4,000; Teal & Fisher
SIS 900 to $4,000. In regard to insu
rance it may safely be said that prob
ably not single Chicago company es
capped without some loss. Chapllne
Il Fostyard, lumber yard, is placed a
800, 900; vinegar factory 100000
planning mills 10000. The Chicago
companies suffer heavily.

MINNESOTA.

MrSxEoroL1s, MINI, October T.
REPORTS from persons who came to this
city yesterday indicate that the fires
which have been devastating this section
OF the country, are burning less furiously
than day or two since. The rain
which fell on Thursday, slight as it was,
did much to control the fire. In the
heavy timber region near Glencoe, where
the fire had got a firm hold OF the
whole country, it is still raging tercely,
but in the more open country it Is almost
entirely subdued. At some parts the
flames have reached the low lands
through which the Minnesota river
runs, where a large amount OF hay
which was stored, was also burned.
