Tribune, was introduced. Gov. Bross
spoke Of the calamity feelingly, advert
ing to the homelessness and destruction
which has been brought on thousands.
He went into details as the best means
Of furnishing aid. He recommended
capitalists to advance money freely on
the unencumbered property OF Chicago,
as it was sure toadvance in price during
the next few years. The will and pluck
of Chicago merchants, endorced by the
capitalists OF New York and Eastern
merchants generally, would in a very
short time rebuild Chicago. 4 vote OF
thanks was passed at the conclusion OF
the speech. The committee reported
they had collected $539S from the bar
The Secretary received telegrams from
London and Frankfort, stating the
amount subscribed at each Of these
places. The London meeting Of Amerl
cans gave SlS,252. 40. Frankfort, TIL

the great rivers Of the West-the Ohio
Mississippi and Wisconsin.
1t is the centre OF the greatest rail
way system in the world. The aggre
gate length of the lines OF railway radi,
ating from Chicago is over eight thou
sand miles.
In 1886 only very few sail vessels
supplied this entire region, for nearly
one hundred miles, with goods; now
the tonnage of vessels trading to her
port amounts to near four hundred
thousand all within thirty-five years
Marseilles is the third city in France,
ranking next to Paris and Lyons Ac-
cording to late estimates Of its popula-
tion, it is not more, or very little more
say ten thousand-than that OF Chi.
cago, and Marseilles existed six hun.
hundred years before the Christian era.
The tonnage Of French vessels engaged
in its foreign trade is scarcely 10000,
while that of Chicago, as already stated,
amounts to nearly 100000. The opera
tons OF a single hour in Chicago would
appear like an insurrection in Genoa,
20 great would be the difference.
The first vessel unloaded at its wharf
June II, 1884, and in 1887 its popula-
ton, outside of hogs, demoralized In
dians and dogs, was 4l70. In 1888
there were thirty-fve houses, mostly log
huts. TO give some idea OF its human
advance it is only necessary TO know
that in lS43 it numbered 1850 souls; in
lS47 it was 1859; in 1850 it totaled
2S,269; in 1855 it counted SO,O25; in
1860 it rose to l09,263; in 1865 it em-
braced 1889, and the census Of 1870
allows to the city proper 299,31O,
while including its suburbs it footed up
100000 souls.

BosToN, Mass, October l6.-The GER
emopies incident TO the laying OF the
cornerstone OF the new sub-treasury
and postofice building took place to-
day. A majority Of stores and places

the procession, composed of the First
battalion of cavalry, the post OF the
Grand Army Of the Republic, National
Laucers and representatives of the

New YORK, October l6.-A recent
meeting of prominent Poles, resident IN
this and surrounding cities, was held
yesterday, and steps were taken to
avert danger which, it is said
threatens the Grand Duke Alexis on

that some of the most ignorant and
violent of the Polish race have formed
a conspiracy to insult and perhaps
assassinate the son of the Car during
his sojourn as a guest here. No know
ledge Of it has reached the police so far,
but, doubtless, precautions will be
taken to avoid the danger. The alleged
plot will most probably he discoun-
tenanced by a majority OF the Polish
race.

BUTLER ATNEW ORLEANS.
An Illustration of His Money Max
Ing Operations with the Rebels.

The Waterbury, Connecticut, .4meri'
can, conducted by an army officer in
Louisiana during the war, gives some
more illustrations Of the vaunted Bu:-
lerian administration in New Orleans.
1t was while there that he began his
business Of chief importer OF supplies
for the rebel army, which he renewed
and carried on SO extensively afterward
while in command OF the Army Of the
James that General Grant said be could
not break it up until he had removed
him and put an honest man in his
place.
There are one or two well authentl-
Gated facts concerning his career in
New Orleans, says the Waterbury JorT.
nal, which we would like to hear him
explain. For instance, on Friday, the
23d day of September, 1862, by pass
direct rom him. large schooner, con
tanning, among other valuable stores,
1000 sacks of salt, was sent from New
Orleans directly across Lake Pont.
chartran to Pouchatoula, the head
quarters OF General jeff. Thomp-
son, of the Confederate army. AT
this time the rebels were suffering ter
ribly for salt, and, according to desert
ers and refugees, this commodity was
selling at one dollar per pound. The
one thousand two-bushel sacks were
enough to supply the whole rebel army
with rations tor a week. Now, If this
vessel was worth so much 10 the Con-
federacy, how much was it worth to
General Butler? Some smart Massa-
chusetts boy will please answer. We
call on Wendell Phillips. Three days
later, on Monday, the 10Th day OF Sep
tember, 1862, another large schooner,
loaded with the most valuable army
stores, was passed in the same manner
to the same destination. Among the list
Of articles mentioned on her mani.
fest were salt, oil, brandy, whisky,
hams, mess pork, epson salts, castor oil
etc Gen. B. +. Butler, who furnished
these vessels their permits, knew what
were their cargoes and their destlna-
ton. viii Rev. DR.. Marvin explain
how he happened to pass them These
are only two Of many similar in
stances, and il Butler denies them they
can be substantiated to the satisfaction
OF the most incrcdulOus The fact
seems to be, however, that the sup
por,ers o! Burler care nothing for such
trites AS these, and glory in the fact
that their Boss could teach Tweed
and Sweeney lessons in the noble art OF
accumulating money, which they never
dreamed Of in their philosophy.

The New York Herald, of Saturday,
in speaking OF the threatened panic IN
Wall street, says it seems to have been
indefinitely postponed. The failures
have been few and insignificant. Even
the Stuyvesant bank promises to
speedily recover, and it was not in any
case a coucern Of very great magnitude.
The Chicago fire, and the utter destruc'
ton OF al immense amount Of property
which it entailed. has, however, had
the undoubtel effect OF very consider
ably shrinking all descriptions OF values.
Stocks are still many points below the
figures Of few days ago, and the
slightest disturbance, either at home or
in Europe, would probably knock them
down very considerably lower.
