Father McGolrick, Judge Atwater and
George A. Bracket, representing the
citizens committee, appeared before
the council last night to address the
body in regard to the fire disaster at
Seattle. Father McGolrick was invited
to speak, and said briefly that the work
of the committee was known to the
council. Il have SEEM" he said, lin
the last few days the walls OF re-
ligion broken down, and have
had the pleasure of shaking hands
with gentlemen who are Jews and
large-hearted men of no religion
at all. In reference to Johnstown l
have not a word to say. You know
what has been done. | am more glad
to be citizen or Minneapolis than l
ever was before. In regard to Seattle.
something needs to be done, and to be
done Immediately. Especially when by
the action of a few men in the council,
which has so long claimed to dominate
US. motion to assist in the relief OF
those cities was put back two weeks. L
am proud of our council. and have con-
fidence that they will do right"
Judge Atwater followed Father Nc
Golrick. He thought the best thing to
do was to pass subscription paper.
On motion of Aid. Downs the chair a J.
pointed Aids. MelOy, Lowell and Gill
man committee on the Seattle disas-
ter. with instructions to reportsback.
The Seattle committee reported in
favor of voting $1,000 to the Seattle vic
tins out of the con tingent fund. AID
Warren feared that such a sum, if
voted, would overdraw that fund. Aid.
Brazie thought the committee had
been little hasty. The news from
Seattle was still very meager, and there
had been no call for money. Aid. Lowell
defended the committee. The Seattle
sufferers were part of the Northwest,
and should have aid. Aid. Parry moved,
as a substitute. to appoint COM
mittee with power to act. The power to
act clause was stricken out. 1t was
moved that the council adjourn to We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock. Amend
men1s for Monday and other days were
made, but Tuesday was finally agreed
upon. The following committee was
appointed: Aid. Parry, Thompson.
Loye, Bursell and Brueshaher. The
citizens committee is requested to meet
this committee at the city hall this
morning at 10 o'clock. Aid. Love
