The Situation I'm the CITY.

CHICAGO, October 23-This week
opens with very hopeful aspect
as regards the relief matters. The
new system works well. The wealth

number Of applicants for aid is some
what decreasing from day to day. The
provisions for shelter are rapidly pressed

he much better than has been generally
expected the prospect is that while
some ofthem will pay considerable
per centage OF their risks, at least one
of them, the Republic, will ultimately
nav in full. The last named company
announces that it is now paying an in
stallment Of twenty-five per cent on all
its risks without waiting for minute
adjustment. The probability is that
it will, alter a capital adjustment Of
losses, pay other installments until full
pavments shall have been made.
The entire unburned part of the
CITY is now amply supplied with water.
There is a general feeling among all
parties in the city and county to avoid
a partisan contest at the coming cleo
ton which takes place two weeks from
tomorrow. The proposition to place in

men, in whom the people have con-
tldence, for city and county officers,
regardless of party consideration or
belongings, will doubtless be adopted,
no matter what the politicians may do
or wish to do.
A horrible outrage was recently per

letter from Hon. Matt. III. Carpenter
United States Senator from Wisconsin,
"My latest advices from home are that
from 1900 to 1900 lives have been lost
and immense destruction Of properly +
caused by the late fires. Chicago is "a
conspicuous even in its mis'ortnnes as TO
throw ordinary distress in the shade
and therefore less attention has bee,i
given TO the suiierings OF our people
than otherwise would have been. /
believe that the adoption of a resolution
10y the Convention would tend 10 direct
public Thought in the right iireclioI." "
Upon reading the above extract the
Rev. DR.. Adams moYcd the following
resolution:

curing, that Notwithstanding the awful
calamity 10 which the great commercial
city Of the northwest has been e-D
jected, the widespread deaolation by
fire that has been viaited upon the States
OF Wisconsin and Michigan must not
be overlooked, but that the appeal 20
our feelings OF humanity and Christ.an
love from the Suffering people OF The
devastated portions OF those States,
should meet with speedy response -
liberal contributors for the supply ci
their wants.
RtS0ic5i, That the members OF he
Convention will join in such cOntriDu-
tons exacted to the extent of their
ability, and that each will commend 10
the good people Of their homes the
poor friends OF those sections who ere
now suffering the loss OF the fruits OF
years Of industry, aud many Of whom,
in the midst of their privations and the
means of subsistence, have added the
anguish OF mourning for friends and
relatives suddenly summoned to their
eternal account.
Resoheli That in view Of this awful
visitation the Clergy and congregations
Of this church throughout the United
States are invited to send any contribu-
lions that they may give, to Bishop
Armitage, of Wisconsin, or to Bishop
McCloskey, Of Michigan, and 10y them
