The Evening Post says the scene of the great
fire yesterday was wilderness of ruins. The
burnt area between Tenth and Eleventh ave.
nues extends from the middle of the block on
the north side OF Thirty-sixth street. In ad-
dition to this number Of buildings were gut
ted or damaged. On the west side OF Tenth
avenue the ruins resemble those of q burned
town. The lack OF water yesterday was due to
the small size Of the mains in the neighbor-
hood, which were laid in the days of hand en-
gines, and are only six inches in diameter.
This morning the hydrants furnished only five
pounds of pressure apiece, instead OF twenty
or twenty-five. Among relics were the remains
of cart and the blackened skeleton of Il horse.

the ruins is such that 1t will be impossible to
dig them out at present.

The following dispatch from Paris is just
received: All the journals announce that ex.
President Theirs died quite suddenly at c
O'Clock yesterday evening, at St. German.
The attack which carried of ex-Presldent
Theirs was what is called in France "apoplec.
tic foudroyonce." He was apparently in good
health in the morning and took his usual walk
after lunch. he felt symptoms Of illness which
speedily developed into an apopletic fit He
remained unconscious and died at six, ap-
parently without pain. No event short Of coup
d'etat or communist rising could have created
80 profound an impression throughout France.
Its effect on the present political crisis can not
be weighed. Gambetta is now without rival
in the Republican party, but his advanced
views are 80 alarming to the left Center that the
Republican party as q whole will probably seeh
to counteract the effect Of Theirs removal by
putting forward Grevy, ex-President of the
Chamber of Deputies, as u candidate to the
hons retirement.
Vienna dispatch says: The report thai
Suleiman Pasha was acting under imperative
orders from Constantinople in pressing the at
| tack on the Russians in the Chipka pass, is EN-
phstically denied. He receives full credit il

cellent troops, but also have acted contrary t.
orders. according to which operations on tina
side were to have been, at least in the frs
instance, merely demonstration on larg'
| scale to attract the Russian forces.
An order has been sent to Suleiman Pasha t.
desist from his attempts for the present, and t.
| follow in the future more closely the instruc
| lions received from Mehmet Ali Pasha.
Advices from Kars indicate that great oper

| is preparing to march on Alexandriople. Tn

summer is going. and decisive results becom
every day of more Importance 10 the Russians

financial and political, which are against tn
probability of u continuance Of the war into an
other campaign.
