CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Frenzied by fright
and driven into stampede by fire in the
Wallace-street barns of the Chicago City
Railway tonight, 461 horses were burned
to death. The barns were totally de-
stroyed, and the total loss will reach
high figure. The building was two
story brick affair, extending 400 feet on
Wallace street and ninety feet on Thirty
ninth. The fire spread with startling
rapidity, and before anything could be
done the whole structure was mass Of
flames, and efforts to get out the horses
were futile. For some time the scream
ing of the horses was terrible, but after a
time the sound gradually died out. Those
who had not been burned to death were
suffocated. The company also loses
thirty closed cars and large stock of hay
and grain. The losses will aggregate
$4,000, amply covered by Insurance;
The origin of the fire is unknown.

Paris en- Fete In Anticipation of the
Arrival of the Latter's Fleet.
PARIS, Oct. 12.-The city of Paris is al
ready en- fete in anticipation of the arrival
at Toulon o-morrow of the long-expected
and much discussed Russian fleet, and
store windows are full of rosettes, badges
and scarfs, representing the Russian col
ors. The pictures of the Gar and the
Russian coat-of-arms are conspicuously
displayed on all sides.
Toulon, Marseilles. Lyons, Brest,
Harvre, Nantes, Bordeaux and other
large towns are also assuming festive
air.
No amount of argument will convince
the French people that the visit of the
Russian squadron is not an open move
upon the part of the Car to show his
great friendship for France and his deter
mination to side with the French repub-
lie against their common enemies. They
insist that his efforts to moderate French
enthusiasm are merely to blind other
European Powers to his real attitude.
1t was in this state of enthusiastic an
ticipation that the news reached here to-
day that the Gar and Czarina will, to-
morrow, at Copenhagen visit the French
cruisers Isly and Surcouf. This is looked
upon as signal to ION with the ball."

Ifany ocular proof of the persistence Of

big steel heads, instead of stair rails. The
nail is fully three inches long, but since
the rush there is a decided scarcity of the
shining heads and the tread of the Office
seekers has pulled out even these great
spikes, and couple of dozen of them
have been picked up and put away. The
carpet looks as if regiment of giants
had been executing double shuttle on
the stairs for the last month. Any extra
demand for stair carpet at the White

PORTLAND, Oct. 12.-During the past
