Detroit, Oct. 24.-In view of the ur
: gancy of immediate and copious sup
q plies from the people outside of thu
State, an appeal to the people of TIT
, United States has been issued by til,
Michigan State Relief Committee
! which states that from l., 900 to 1900
PEOPLE in the State of Michigan hav
lost their homes, food, clothing, crops
horses and cattle. On the night of tn
n Chicago fire 1000 people on the cas-
!. shore of Lake Michigan, and 5000 o
5000 on the shores of Lake Huron
q were reduced to almost absolute desc
n lation within two or three weeks
o Other small villages and settlement
have been blotted out. The number O
individuals, farm houses, barns AM
. frontier dwellings which have been de
h stroyed by fire, cannot, from want 0
information. be calculated. The aggre
gate we know to be enormous.
"a The fires are still burning, and ney
n ones are springing mp. The ruin an
devastation is daily increasing. A long
/. hard, cold winter is approaching, an
large numbers of these people are &C
n cessible only by water, and nayigatio
q will soon be closed. Scarcely a mont
, now remains in which TO feed, cloth,
o and shelter them for winter. The
e must be helped now or they will pei
II ish. They will need, too, in the earl
l. spring, sesd and implements for tn
harvest of next year. The greater pol
K ton of them must commence life en-
3 tireiy anew, without preparation, an
n at the beginning of winter, their isola
ton from the centers of commerce an
re the means of communication makes tn
d problem of relief more difficult and a
y the more urgent.
{ The people of Michigan have nobl
responded to the appeals, but they ar
h severely CRIPPLED Indirectly in their b4:
!. mess by the Chicago fire, and directly
!. by the assistance they gave 10 the SUI
of ferers from that calamity before the
4 were aware of the demands whic
Z would be made on them at home. Man
n of them, too, have lost their resource
le by the fires which have occurred in thi
II State. In their name, and in behalf G
g the victims already known and OF man
Il whom we fear are yet unknown, "
ask prompt and s4OtsEt aid.
