The Burning of Chicago.

There was not much clamor Of men, wo-

awfulness of the situation made the mind
silent rather than noisy. Personal friends
said to me, "The city is gone" or mo
power can save u.s." or "All is lost" but

words to be heard. Quite stream of ve-
hicles and persons were moving north

of panic, but rather that of an orderly
retreat. The guests were issuing from the
fremont and Sherman hotels. The bang
ing of trunks was little more violent
than usual, and the vehicles into which
trunks were going showed that the exodus
of guests was informal, and yet not much
was said by the man with the team or the

The Russians, taking advantage of the

before starting on their sledge journeys
