London Times or the New York Herald
would become bankrupt in a city like

STATISTICS OF THE CHICAGO FIRE
From the advance sheets of q pamphlet
entitled "Chicago and the Great Confag-
ration" we gather the following facts con-
corning one of the greatest calamities of
the century:
The total area burned over in the city,
including streets. was 2124 acres, or very
nearly 81 square miles. Tho number of
buildings destroyed was IL ,450; Of persons
rendered homeless, 90 $500. OF the latter
more than $50 paid the last.debt of nature
'mid the carnage-fell victims to the Mo.
loch of our modern civilization.
The losses in buildings amounted to $53, =
O0O, 600; in produce, ETC., S., 262 500; in
wholesale and retail business, $7s, zoo, 600 !;
in personal effects, $5S,zlO,OO0 which,
with losses embraced under the head of
miscellaneous" and "other business
property" swell the grand total to $780,
shown by the following computation:
The city contained population of 1874 :
go souls. OF these, 80 500 were rendered
homeless, leaving $3.50, or 20 per cent,
unframed. About $4,000 left tue city
within u few weeks, but many of these re-
turned subsequently, and many hundreds
of workers came in from other places, to
aid in rebuilding the city. In December,
1871, Chicago contained a population of
not much less than 100000 The number
of buildings burned was IL ,450 remaining,
40 900, or 20 per cent. The value of the
buildings burned was not less than so
per cent of the whole; saved, SO per cent.

ter, but also that there has been commit
ted hagrant aggression upon the special
domain of faith and of the Church, and an
open attack on liberty of conscience.
The Minister by his ordinances has de-
termined without appeal what is hencefor-
ward to be deemed Catholic, and he pun
ishes the Catholics who will not adopt his
views, by excluding from the college the
instruction that they have a right to, and
which is exclusively founded and support
ed by Catholic money and at the same
time as but small proportion of the suf-
of the means to go elsewhere, the majority
are wholly deprived of the opportunity of
getting higher education at all. 1t may
even be truly said that after these ordinan-
ces, the entire Catholic Church existing in
your Majesty's domiuions is apparently de-
prived> of all rights and of all protection,
and that a handful of apostates form it's
only legal representatives.
On this account it is that Catholics
throughout Germany have been deeply ag-
grieved at decisions which threaten all the
Church's rights, and O great many feel
alarm lest Prussia should be about to alb
jure her better traditions and abandon the
sacred principles of liberty of conscience
and justice in religious questions.
Sire, the principles of the Catholic faith
absolutely require that every person should
submit TO the decisions of an Gcumenical
Council in allquestions of faith and morals.
Whosoever refuses, cuts himself off from
the Catholic Church, and of course cannot
continue to teach the Catholic religion.
All that has been done in the case above
referred to has been to ask the application
Of this incontestable principle of right,
that the teaching of the Catholic religion
should only be done by members of the
Catholic Church and therefore it is that
the refusal of this request, so founded on
natural and positive right, and the viola
ton thus committed of religious liberty
and painfully affected all Catholics.
But still greater than the grievance
is the aggression on the
nature itself, and the indefeasible rights of
the Catholic Church, made by the Ministe-
rial ordinances, requiring that the Catholic
