The PRAIRIE F1RE-1He Path of Desc
zation-,S. Paul, Minnesota, October g.
The great prairie fire is still raging with I'M
abatcd fury, although the slight rain of yes
terday arrested its progress little for a
time. Its course is southeast, and up to
last accounts had reached as far south as the
Iowa border, and eastward as far as the
Minnesota river, which it is hoped will stay
its further progress. The high wind yes.
terday drove the fire forward with lightning
rapidly, as it was burning fercely in the
big woods around Glencoe, LeSueur, Man
kato, and New Ulm. Reports of the rava.
ges of the fire fend are coming in constant
", though they are evidently exaggerated.
The losses so far as positively known are
confined to houses, barns, fences, hay, wheat,
and live stock. Only two lives are known
to have been lost-that of Swede named
Couneant, Of Kandigoni county, and man,
name unknown, who started from the same
county with a drove Of cattle for Fort
Geary, and was overtaken by the fire.
There are no means of ascertaining the
amount Of damage done, owing to the large
tract Of country over which the fire swept
and its inaccessible nature, but it must be
very heavy. Many small towns are com.
pletely destroyed, and solitary farm-houses
on the track Of the fire almost invariably
burned to the ground. The amount of suf-
fering must, therefore, be great, as many
farmers have lost everything Homestead,
live stock, and crops, with long winter
close upou them,

A COLLAPSE -The Washington Patriot
says wild rumors were in circulation Thurs
day night, to the effect that the Syndicate
had collapsed, and that Secretary Boutwelps
new five per cent. loan had proven failure
in Europe. It seems that Assistant Secre-
tary Richardson wrote to Mr.. Boutwell,,
from London, that no more of the five per
cent bonds need be sent to Europe, as the
Syndicate already had $40, 000,0 900 worth
on hand, which could not be disposed Of
In this letter the Assistant Secretary ex-
presses himself as absolutely frightened at
the financial prospect in Europe, SO far as
American securities are concerned. If these
rumors should prove true. Mr. Boutwell,
will probably find himself very much en-
barrassed, in view of the fact that he has
given notice that he will redeem one hum

man of standing in the State in days gone
by, and if he is guilty of making such a
charge, what can be expected of men, whom
the Radicals will elect judges, if they get a
majority in the Legislature Will they let
any impugning be done, of the evidence to
advance party interests Won't they really
run the whole judicial machine in the Radi-

Cen Porfirio Diaz is reported to have said
he would march against those who should
pronounce against the Juarez government,
but his loyalty is much doubted. Matamo-

about coming events. Gems. Palairo and
Cortina have issued proclamation to the
soldiers under their respective commands,
and to the citizens Of the frontier in general,
to stand and fight for the Juarez government.
Great preparations are being made in Mata-
moras for the defense Of the city if attacked,
and all the cavalry has left for the 'front.'
The telegraph is only working as far as

this hour Great excitement is reported
from all parts Of Mexico on account Of such
