A special election to fill the vacancy in
the congressional delegation of st. Louis,
occasioned by the death of Thomas AL
len, will be ordered in a few days,
A special of the 10th from Red Wing
to the Pioneer Press says: Half of the
block bounded by May, Bush, Third and
Broadway streets is on fire. The fire
originated at p NJ. in livery stable
occupied by Webster i Perkins, on
Third street; cause unknown. A brisk
wind was blowing westward, and the
opera house soon caught fire, us did a
house of Mr.. Goggles and DR.. Aliens
residence. 1t then spread northerly and
caught in wooden building on Main
street occupied as second hand store,
omnibus stable and city express This
was all done in the course of 20 or %
minutes. Comparatively nothing could
be saved of the articles in the SO buildings
except livery horses and some carriages.
The fire is still spreading toward other
buildings. Tony Bragg's meat market
and store adjoining, together with Cog
gle's brick, in the second story Of which
the Odd Fellows hall is situated, corner
of Main ana Broadway, is in great dan
ger. Stores east of Webster Il Perkins
livery stable are also going. The fire
company is doing valuable service in
keeping the fire from Continental block,
containing the Goodhue county bank AMI
other stores and offices. Later. The fire
is under control.
The statement heretofore published
with reference to On agreement recently
ratified by the Southern Pacific, Atchi-
son, Topeka Il Santa Fe and st. Louis &
San Francisco railroad companies, in re-
lation to the extension of the Atlantic &
Pacific road, have failed to impart any
satisfactory information as to the nature
and scope Of the arrangements. The
amount of subscription asked for the
completion of the Atlantic and Pacific to
purchase by Gould and Huntington Of
an interest in the st. Louis Il San Fran
cisco road interfered somewhat with the
plan of extension agreed upon. The
compromise agreement reduces the total
subscription to So 500 900, 100000 for
the western division from Albuquerque
westward, and 5000 900 for the central
division, from Vinita to Albuquerque.
1t is understood this amount is fixed on
under the original plan and the official
circulars regarding the Atlantic and Pa
cifc. One-third of the total is appor-
toned to the st. Louis and San Francisco
company, one-third to the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe, and the other third
to the financial agents, Seligman & Co.
The agreement provides that this money
is to be applied to building the road to
the Colorado river. The agreement,
singularly enough, does not fix the loca-
ton in Arizona and California, but
merely stipulates they shall be upon the
most direct line between the present end
of the Atlantic and Pacific and Mohave,
on the Southern Pacific. Nor is the
matter OF future extensions definitely
fixed, but the decision on the question is
left until the Atlantic & Pacific from the
east and Mojsve branches of the Southern
Pacific from the west shall be completed
to Colorado river.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 81. 1882.
Noxt Monday evening Mrs. LNngtry
gives her initial performance of an "Un-
equal Match, and the feeling of expec-
tation as 10 how she will turn out on the
boards is at its height, Abbey in his
management of the woman has shown a
skill and al insight into The weakness of
human nature which is almost wonderful.
The newspapers record her movements
rs ifshe were some foreign princess. The
"Herald" has a reporter following her
constantly and the story of her move
ments occupies from one TO two columns
each day. Sensible people can hardly
fail to feel ashamed of the depth of silli-
mesa to which we rs a man can descend,
but Abbey is delighted. By-the-wHy, We
are in danger Of whole crop of Lang.
trys. Somehow or other both in art aud
in fashion we manage at times TO slavish-
ly initiate foreign models, by turning out
cheap reproductions. 1 met tho chief
partner Of o woll-known theatrical agency
who told me that American LAngtry's
would grow as common on the stage as
daisies in summer. There is one young
woman who belongs to the combination
Of Mile. -- a French woman, who
came here with tremendous flourish Of
trumpets, but who soon had to quit the
city for the provinces. Now this young
woman has something of a tallish figure,
blond hair which looks like Mrs. Lang
try's with the color washed out ard a
cast Of face which resembles the original
as much as cheap chrome resembles
great painting. With this stock in
trads. and with the kindly help of paste
and paint she il having herself photo
graphed extensively as the American Mrs.
LangiTy. Her manager has booked her
far ahead, and in several places shs will
play during the Same week that the OF
iginal Mrs. Langtry will appear. Be
sides she will personRte the same oharae-
ters that compose Mrs. Langtry's roper
toire. Now these people expect to make
q great deal of money out of this "iad. -
l hardly think, however, that the Ameri-
can public can be played for such gullS
as mushroom theatrical managers and
alleged actresses believe. should this
venture be successful, however, Amer
can Mrs Langtry's will rise like bubbles
in q pool, and even no BowerY variety
stage will be complete without one doing
comic song and dance.

TIE rARIFE COMMISSION.

The stenographio report Of the state
nents mado before the Tariff Commission
is about completed, aud it is expected
that within few days it will be in type
and ready for distribution by the Gov
ernment printing onlce, Altogether the
Commission travelled about 1900 miles,
held public sessions for about 70 days,
and heard the statements Of between 500
and 600 persons. The printed record
will fill about 1000 pages. II is the opin-
ion of persons who have had good OPP
portuniiies for judging Of the sentiment
of the Commission that no radical or i'm
portant changes in the existing tariff will
be recommended. Their report will re-
commend, perhaps, some slight increase
of duties here, some slight decrease there
with some insignificant additions to th'
free list, and wherever it is possible al
abandonment of compound duties (tha'
is, Of ad yalorem rates combined Will
specific rates) will be recommended. !
is also probable that important changes
in Custom House regulations as to clear
ances, consular invoices, and such mat
ters will be suggested. Notwithstanding
the persistsney with which the potters 0

urged an increase Of existing duties on
chinaware no change will be recommend
ed. The roimposition Of tho duty on
quinine, as persistently urged on the part
Of manufacturers of chemicals, will not
be advised, The dpty on raw wool will
neither be abolished in the interest Of
wool manufacturers nor increased in the
interest Of American wool growers, but
will remain practically as at present.
And even the action of the Cresson Con-
vention of steel and iron manufacturers
in favor ofincressed rates of duty on iron
ore aud on iron and steel in their ysrioua
stages will hardly be endorsed by the
Commission. Iu fact, the general result
of the report will be in favor of making
the least possible number Of changes (apd
none of them importantly in the existing
tariff.

A Senator Q Racket.

One day, in 1884, Senator Zach Chan
dler was passenger on the train from
Ow0sea to Lansing, and, strangely
enough, no one in the car had any idea
of his identity. Two men had seats be.
hind him, and from talking Of war they
drilled into politics, and naturally
enough Chambers name became mixed
up. Both men were red hot against hlm
and directly one of them observed:
TITS . wonder to me that some one
doesn't shoot the old tlood-letter."
''Oh. he'll get his dose yet, and don't
you forget it." replied the other.
The Senator turned slowly around,
took q good look at both, and then said {:
Gentlemen, please speak little lower
II am Senator Chandler"
He thought he had them frozen solid,
but be was mistaken. He had scarcely
turned his head when one Of them lean
ed forward and replied:
"That's oil right, pard, If you can beat
the conductor with IT,. but don't try to
stuff US! We met the old chap back in
Owosso not an hour ago, waiting to 60
West, and It cost me twenty-five dollars

hand. II you've got new racket trot
