5O,oOO,O 900 FEET OF LUMBER DESTROYED.

feet are still on hand
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO BE REBUILT.
One hundred thousand dollars were sub
scribed to-day toward rebuilding the
Chamber of Commerce, on the site of its
ruins, and work win be commenced at
once.
TEMPORARY BUILDINGS

Saturday night there VIII be hundreds
ready for occupation.

The Underwriters to-day estimate that
the total amount of insurance on the burnt
District is between 500, ,O00, 600 and $780,
100000
/
a MORE CHEERFUL ASPECT.
There is marked change in the spirit
of the people. The first feeling was one
of utter prostration, but it has gradually
given way. The burnt district is no longer
an object Of interest, save as to the selec-
ton Of sites for rebuilding Every bust
ness man, who can find q shed in which
to resume, has got out his rough shingle.
An universal feeling of hope is shown by
all. There is no more despondency
Country debtors are remitting, the banks
give hearty encouragement, and the in
surance solvency becomes more and mora
promising. Chicago is again on her feet.
VISITORS NOT WANTED.
General Sheridan makes a request
through the Associated Press TO the peo-
pie of the country ID dissuade those who
are anxious TO visit Chicago from mere
curiosity from coming. Thousands of this
class are here now, thronging the streets
without shelter or accommodation, and
who must be fed and cared for the same
as the sufferers.
THE POST OFFICE.
Ofthe employees OF the Post t-ofice, one
hundred are sufferers by the fire. The
vast distribution of this Office has been
diyided between Cincinnati, st. Louis and
Detroit. Three of the old distributors left
for Cincinnati to-day. Postmaster Foulds,
of that city, Is here assisting to rearrange
the service.
DURATION OF THE FIRE.
During Sunday night, and all the long.
terrible hours of Monday and Tuesday the
fearful element swept on in its resistless
course, hastened and famed by the gale
and fed by the long streets of business and
dwelling houses, churches, elevators, rail-
road depots and school houses, until late
on Tuesday afternoon, when the angry,
consuming flames died away from abso-
lutte want of material TO feed them.
EXTENT OF THE RUIN.
Some idea Of the extent of the ruin
wrought may be formed from the fact that
there Is only one solitary house left stan
ding in the entire North Division of the
city, one of the most populous and veal
thy portions OF Chicago
1t is estimated that 1000 acres of area
have been swept by the famea, and that
eighty thousand people are houseless and
helpless, and dependent more or less upon
the charity of friends and the hospitality
of strangers for shelter and succor.
The city is under strict surveillance by
the police and detectige forces Of the city,
assisted by citizens who have organized
themselves into bodies OF patrolmen, for
service during the night Several at
tempts at incendiarism have been discev-
cred and the perpetrators instantly shot
or hung.
| CASUALTIES.
1t is impossible at the present time to
make any accurate estimate of the num-
Der of people destroyed during those ter
nble three days and nights, but the list is
known TO be distressingly large 1t is
believed that not less than three hundred
people persisted In various WAYS during
