The Board Of Aldermen, at @ meeting to-day,
forbade the erection Of Mansard roofs, unless Of

Boston do not think the almost total destruction
Of the leather business in that city will bring
about any suspensions, except, perhaps, in the y
case Of one or two small firms. The stock held
by the leading houses was small.

Spcciul Despatch to Tie Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Secretary Boutwell,
has been in constant receipt Of dispatches to,
DAY from the various business centres East and
Vest, 1nquiring as to what policy the Treasury
department will pursue in case Of panic

of the country whenever his Judgment
NAV conclude that such action is necessary. In
the present crisis he has not concluded that anY
emergency has arisen requiring his Intervention.
He has. however, to-day. again assured l1quir-
ers in Boston that the Treasury Department will
respond for their protection when that policy
seems necessary. 4 rumor was current this af-
ternoou that the Treasury Department., following
the precedent established just before the octo-
be, elections. had decided to order large pur-
chase OF bonds and sale OF gold to-noEro" to
relieve the stock market and make money easier.
The Secretary himself denies this rumor so far
as date ie concerned, and says that such q trans-
actloH will only be ordered when it Is apparent
the stock gamblers have become masters
Of the situation. This evening, the Secretary
the Sub-Ireasury was all right, and that State
street had no fears Of panic. The Natlona!
Banks were also said to be all right. The United
States Pension Agent reports that all his papers
have been lost, as we'll as the office safe. The
Government records, however, hare been pre-
served.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. lit is estimated that
$4,000, 600 will cover the entire losses Of Phla-
delphla Insurance companies by the Boston fire.
Those are mostly the strongest companies, with
SURPRISES more than sufficient to cover the loss.

phcatlons which may grow out Of the Boston

recommended by Assistant Secretary Richard

Special Despatch TO The Chicago Tribune.
BosToS, Nov. 11.-There is no panic whatever.
The banks are paying checks and doing business
as usual, except three OF four which have burned
down. No bank vault is lost but the Freeman's,
which fell on an iron pillar and burst. The
Clearing House met as usual to-day, and de-
layed business only two hours. The banks were
extending customers paper who need the help.
Many old insurance companies are wiped out,
namely, the Firemen's, Merchants. Shoe and
Leather. The following will pay part: Nep-
tune, Mutual Benefit. North American. The
Merchants and Farmers are all in confusion
now. Street lines in the fire district are rubbed
out. All are perfectly steady financially, lots Of
means left, and nobody scared about money.

By Sunday noon the fire was said to be under
control. By o'clock this morning it was en-
tirely checked, and We were able to consider the
losses: In the whole district I have
described, embracing sixty to eighty
acres, not building remains. The devastation
is absolute and universal. Here and there q
tottering wall OF tall chimney rises above the
mass OF cinders, blackened with smoke, but
there is nothing that can be saved in the process

favorite material in this district, is reduced to
fragments. t will only be fit to grind for gar

panic caused by this enormous loss has less
effect than many anticipated. The values Of
merchandise have been advanced to 70

familiar with their conservative policy: believe
that not all will succumb.
