BIG PI4TSBURG Fire.
The Exposition Building Destroyed by
Fire Early This Morning.
LOSS TWO AND AHALF MILLIONS.
Valuable Exhibsts Of Every Description
Consumed.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 3.-About o'clock
this morning the Exposition caught fire, and in
twenty minutes the entire building, together
with machinery and floral halls, was in ashes.
The fire was discovered first in the engine room
in the machinery depal tment, and in order not
to frighten the citizens still alarm was sent in,
and in this way the flames got beyond control,
SO that before the fire department reached the
ground the buildings were almost burned down.
When it became known that it was the Exposl-
ton, although it was 81 late, an immense crowd
were soon on tho way to the scene of
the great confagration. The reflection from
the fire Illuminated the country for miles
around and in the furthest end of the city "a
per could be read as easily as in daylight. at
this hour it is impossible to estimate the loss
with any degree of accuracy, but it is believed
will not fall below $2,500,0O0. The exhibits
consisted Of all varieties of our products and
industries, including many valuable relics,
among which was an "Arabian'' locomotive of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which was the
first locomotive built in this country.

AND WHEREAS, the rapid development of
the agricultural resources of the territory

tect from destructive floods the territory
now subject to annual overflow.

gers Emmy Fursch Madi, soprano, and
Celia Trebelli, contralto, of the Abbey op-
era troupe.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2.-Christine Nilsson
has arrived. Her first words to the repor-
ter were: "Here We are again and never
more delighted to be back. I suppose
many professional people pretend to like
New York because it fatters you New
Workers, but I have always had pleasant
time here and been so cordially received,

niscenses. 1t really was pleasant sight
to me this morning, Notwithstanding the
torrent of rain with which I was greeted"
Nine. Nilsson is looking fully ten
years younger than when she
arrived here last October. Then
she was, as she says, worn out with family
troubles, and doubtful whether she weuld
ever recover enough spirits or health to
put any heart into her professional work
again. Her long tour, under Mr.. Abbey's
direction, hard work though it was, proved
to be the best sort of medicine. During
the present summer she has been resting
and recruiting bsr strength at various
European watering places. "My own operas
for the coming season." she says. will be
''Faust," with which we open, "Mignon,"
"Gioconda," "Osello," "Mefistofeleo" and
"she Huguenots," besides whatever works
from my usual repertoire Mr.. Abbey
chooses to produce. "Lakme," the new
work which Mr.. Delibes brought out in
Paris, is delightful creation, full of e1-
quisite music, but too light for me. Per
haps Nine. Senbrick may appear in it,"

The injection of American enterprise
roads in that country. under American
auspices, are having marked effect upon
the interna tional trade of the two coun
tries. Mexico to-day is consuming more
American goods than England and France
combined, and is exporting TO the United
States twice as much of its own products as
she sends across the sea. With a population
of 5000. 200, an area OF TAI 800 square
miles, with diversified productions and ge-
NAL climate, supplemented by the restless
energy and bold projects OF the Amer leans
who have their attention drawn there. the
near future will present an exhibit OF de-
surprising the most sanguine expectations.
With American industries encouraged and
expanded under our protective policy, their
products must soon largely exceed home
demand. and in Mexico will be opened a
marke. for their profitable exchange and
sale. It is, in business point, new
country. 1t is capable OF supporting ten
times its present population, OF almost in
definite development rs to mineral. agri-
cultural and pastoral interests, and must
open to this country one OF the most favor
able and prolific markets we have ever
had. The perfection of the pending re-
procity treaty between the countries. will
lay the foundation for the realization of
immense benefits to both Republics, In
giving an outlet to our adventurous popula-
ton, market for our surplus products.
and an enlargement of the range OF our
commerce. Both the South and the North
can find In Mexicoa theatre for their en-
beavers. II is not question now Of slave
ry extension, but of Observation-Disclosures
and no more inviting field is offered for the
propagation Of American sentiment and
progressive enterprises than is laid open to
us on our southern border.
