The Epizootic Spreading.


 NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The epidemic now rag ing among the horses is spreading to all the animals in the car and stage companies stables. It is estimated that nearly 4,O0O car horses, two-thirds of the stage horses, and many of the animals in use by the large express companies are now suffering from the disease, and large proportion of all other horses in the city, including some of the best trotters in private stables, are also affected. This wet weather is unfavorable, and it is feared will cause the distemper to take more serious form. No fatal cases have been heard of as yet, and this is ac- counted for by some persons with the ex- planation that the disease has not yet reached its height. Alarming symptoms have not yet exhibited themselves, but there are many horsemen who express the opinion that in a few days the disease will gain new strength, and then the epidemic will equal that of 1872. On the other hand most of the superintend- ents of the larger stables declare that the ami mals are afflicted with very light form of the disease, and that no serious results need be expected if the proper remedies are promptly administered

 Turkeys Position-EngIIsh Opinion of
 the suItan's Last Note.
 LONDON, Oct. 6.-Semi- officially the Duly Neeos this morning says the Porte's latest note might have been the insolent reply of Napoleon in the noon of his fame to the pleadings of some fallen enemy. The Porte virtually proposes that the sheep and dogs shall first be withdrawn, then Turkey will settle with the sheep. The Neaos believes that Musurus Pasha is responsible for these i'll omened counsels and if so he will proba- ply find he is urging Turkey to a desperate and fatal course. If. England now draws back the result would be utter humiliation for herself and confusion for Europe.
 The Tunes considers the Porte's note an in- suit to the common sense of Europe and grave affront to the dignity of the powers.

Opening of the National Fair.
 WASHINGTON Oct. 5.-The second annual exhibition of the National Fair association, which opened to-day, was inaugurated by monster industrial and mercantile procession, which paraded the principal streets and was witnessed by thousands who lined the streets crowded the windows and looked on from porches and housetops. The government and local departments and public schools being closed and business generally suspend ed added to the number of spectators. Owing to rain early this morning and threatening weather for the rest of the day it was doubt ful whether there would be parade. It was finally arranged, however, and the display was interesting and in some instances gor- geous. All the trades were represented, men being at work in vehicles exhibiting their particular branches, and merchants presented their several lines of business in the most at tractive form. The theatres turned out handsomely also. The District fire depart ment made fine showing, as did the Wash ington Light Infantry corps and the District artillery corps. The procession was an hour and half in passing a given point. The fair was opened at two o'clock with an ad- dress of welcome by William W. Galt, presi- dent of the association, and an oration by Congressman Joe Blackburn of Kentucky.
