MEXICO.

The Rev0lutf0nary Government Of lyle.
sias-He Combines All the Disaffected
Elements-Outrage on Americans at
Matamoros-An Early Conflict ON the
Border Threatened.
BROWNSVILLE, November ga courier
arrived today from Guanajuato, the native
State of Iglesias, the Chief Justice and ex-
oficio Vice President of Mexico, with news
that lglesias had assumed the powers of
President of the republic in default of q
legal election, and that he had appointed q
full Cabinet and other federal officers.
The people of Guanajuato were en-
thusiastic in his support and had raised a
large sum of money to sustain his govern.
ment.
The Diaz revolutionists all recognize
Iglesias as the legitimate President.
Matamoros is the only place east of the
Sierra Madre held by the p%artisans of
Lerdo. An agent Of Iglesias is here and is
said to be treating for it's surrender to the
new government, and it is believed that
Reveultas, the commander, will turn over
to Iglesias.
The Lerdo government had acknowledged
the English debt and is reported to have
negotiated q further loan of 81, O00. 900,
which has excited the national feeling
against Lerdo.
Five American citizens went over to
MatamOros yesterday on q visit, and were
insulted and assaulted by Mexican officers,
and then arrested and thrown into prison.
and were fined this morning from $50 to
$50 each, or two months hard labor on the
public works.
This outrage has created profound ex-
element on this side, and offers of hun
dreds of men are coming in to aid in their
rescue if necessary. Unless our govern
ment takes steps to prevent q repetition of
these outrages there is great danger of an
early conflict on this border.

The Races.

The first races of the fall meeting of the
Louisiana Jockey Club will take place on
Saturday next. The first rage is to be .
hurdle race Of two miles, over eight hur-
dies; the second, . mile dash for two-vear
olde; and the third race, closing the pro-
grsmme for the first day, will be q race of
mile heats for horses of all ages for . club
purse of $500. All the fast horses of the
Southern turf will take . turn during the
meeting. The stables of Richards, Cottrill
and Williamson have been for some days
on the ground, and others in full
condition are to arrive. There is
no reason why the present fall
meeting of the Jockey Club should
net be moro successful than any Of the
meetings held here for years. The weather
is such as invites visitors and residents to
o%ut-of-door amusements. The track is in
the best possible condition for making fast
time, and exciting races may be expected.
The grand stand has been entirely rebuilt
since the fire. The new bonnets aud hats
lave arrived, and the ladies will be out in
full force. Strangers here should know
that three lines of street cars, leaving Canal
street, run directly to the Fair Grounds.
Five cents for a car is as good as s. for a
hack, and the cheaper way of going to the
races is quite as fashionable.

YOUTHFUL SNEAK THIEVES The police
have been aware that an organized band of
young sneak thieves have prospered for Q
readily purchased the stolen goods. A
keen scent finally led the detectives to q
doggery on Franklin between Lafayette
and Poydrss streets, kept by Mrs. Rossnna
O'Keefe. The officers searched the place
and found all kinds Of articles, from q card
of buttons to . set of silverware. Francis
Despot and Peter David, lads, were found
on the premises, and after their arrest
acknowledged their guilt. They state that
the usual method of proceeding is for one
or more to keep watch ct the front of .
store while one of the gang enters and
steals anything he can. Making q success
full trip they take the plumber to Mrs.
O'Keefe, who gives them what price she
pleases. The detectives, having these two
youngsters, found it easy to trace out and
arrest other members of the tribe, captur-
ing John Norma, Theodore Augustus and
Brooks, the last named being . refugee
from the Boys' House of Refuge. Mrs.
"O'Keete and Mrs. Scott, her sister, were
arrested for knowingly purchasing and re-
.oeiving stolen property. The silverwsre
belongs to the St. Charles Hotel, but it is
mot known who stole it.
A lot of sack coats recently stolen from
Wolf e. Marks by Henry Jones and Mar.

AmQeemiats.


Tho Varieties Theatse was filed last
night, every seat in the lower part of the
house being taken, and %Mr. Sothern re-
ceived . flattering welcome when he ap-
peared - Dundreary. Sothernized ss "Our
American Cousin" now is, Tom Taylor
would scarcely recognize his own child.
He wrote . clever drama to show the blunt
ways and kind heart of IN American.
Toned by jefferson, Warren OF Raymond,
Asa Irsnehard Wa q simple, quiet gentle
man; he was the hero of the piece; he had
. soft spot in his heart, which came to the
surface in his love seenes with Mary, and
his self.sacriice for q poor girl. Mr..
Sothern has run away with the
play. He makes every character feed his.
It lie said he achieved the hop step quite by
accident. Authors do not write hops,
stammers, sneezes OF lisps. Mr.. Sothern at
the outset had but the slenderest materials
for . part. He took them and used them,
and built q character, as vivid, Is clear cut,
and a. it proved. as successful Is any over
created for the modern stage. What he
has crowded out of the play as it was is not
regretted when an audience sees how much
of the droll and absurdly comic element he
adds to it by his genius. The object of
comedy playing is to smuse. It requires as
much genius to play Qundreary. with his
little nothings to say, ss it does to play
Hamlet, with the wealth of words put in
the mouth Of that character. Mr.. Sotherni is
. great artist, because he seems not to act,
and yet carries an audience with him, and
from one laugh to another. He has succeeded
because he is always the gentleman and
never the clown. His advent here at this
time is good for New Orleans. He will
make everybody laugh and forget politics
before he goes away. The part of asa last
night fell to Mr.. Ed. Marble, the regular
comedian of the theatre, who then made
his first appearance at the Varieties. Mr..
Marble is q strong farce actor. and Asa, as
he should be, is not quite in his line. Let
him soften and bring out the fine points
clearer, and subdue the nasal twsng, and
he would hit the character. The Sir Ed
vo~d of Mr.. Soggs, and sas Florence OF Miss
Rand were good enough. Georyina was
played by Miss Linda Dietz. who came
with Mr.. Sothern. She is Q clever young
lady in ingenue characters, and strength
ened the cast. "Our American Cousin" will
be played until further notice.
