il CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 18 THE BOSTON FIRE. (Continued from FirsiPage.) fire are stuck full of little signatelling where the late proprietor espects to repen, or when e means to return, but nobody ca get at these signs without & pass, for the ruas are most carefully guarded. The telegraph of the Western Unon Cumpnng contained, at 10 o'clock last night, :bove 1,501 commercial messages, and press aptter was positively refused. By the time I rached the city, it would have delighted the spiritof Father Sovse to have seen the battalion of ‘elegraph operators crowded there, collected fromyll parts of the Eastern country, and the multitiles be- Jow eecking to enter the fire district, whire the telegraph ofiice stands, to beg & Tessago throngh. Fifty-five wires reached New York, and all their united capacity is as etrailed as canbe. The extraordinary speed nttaind on the Sabbath day over the railrosds, neuallyclear at that time, is'sleo to be noted. Firs exinea were run through from New York to Bosto m aix hours, over 234 miles of road, and rom v:omester to Boston in about one mile & xin- ute. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tridunz, Bostox, Nov. 12.—This is the second dy after the fire, and eversthing looks tothe futur, and is confident. The immediate destruction o. the wholeeale portion of the town has been to| throw the lines of the promenade end communicaton further west, and the grest promenado is mo longer Wuhm{fton street, but Tremont street, which is crowded like the Strand, or Cheapside, of Lon- don. All day to-dni, TUnited States powder from the forts in the harbor has been ueed to blow up the perpendicular parts of the ruins, and gangsof fireruen have been pulling down. woallo with baoks 2nd_ battering-rams, Hence the ruins have lost zheir picturesquencss,-and the stores are in the ~great part opened throtigh the waste, while most of the engines are withdrswn, there being little firo left to put out, excopt amongst the coal piles along the wharves, and in the sunken cellars. The fire authorities observe to-day that brick, and even wood, when thoronghly wet, turn_the flame better than the granite buildings, which cast off the water from their glistening surfaces, and swell and even fracture with fire. There is severe criticism all over tho city upon the subject of high structures and Mapsard roofs. It is ceriain that tho height of the buildings here perwitted the fire to burn with mpunity above the reach of water streams, Bat the height of Boston business houses was a consequence of marrow sireets, and the expensivoness of ground. It is a question between the appearance and firm- ness of the Mausard roof. They have becn ‘built in Boston as in Chicago, with tinder wood, ine lumber, and & thin shell of slate or shingle } ut the Mansard roof of the new Post Office, constracted of a light iron skeleton, stands erect as ever. The Post to-day preaches s sormon on the superficiel make of the Mansard roofs, but the Advertiser calls for & new topography less unique and ae{gentine, but with wider streets, according to the spirit of Mr. Gray, a local anthority, who says, * "Tis your lines of streets, now that the opportunity offers, and if the streets need twidening, take the land.” l&ilhe ‘burnt district 2f Boston, mglike that of o, every street preserves its provesble bouadaries, and al the Tecords ate presorved. A stranger readily notices here the ease with which the Boston public sEjlrit surrenders the local oontrol of the city, while it stiffly sticks out for little old affections and shrines. The labyrinthi character of the town is little declaimed against, while United Staies Marines are permitted to take the place of police or militia. As I walked through _the burnt district, last night, s soldier stopped my companion, who was an- editor of 2 Boston g;per. _He looked at the passes by the Chief of e Police, and refused them. Notbing, he said, wonld do ‘but & military pass, and he added, © I wouldn't pass you if you was Graut.” Boston is ‘now virtually under martial law, by consent of its own anthorities. But & good many of the eoldiers are drunk. Thero is no want in this city to speak about. Two families only had epplied up to last night for ehelter, and it seems probable that tho great reserve capital of ~the city and the thrift an foresight of ~ its peo- le, ‘besides the comprehensiveness of {he regular charities, will meet 2l demands. The loss of gas in part of the town makes soma gloom, and this is said to be thecase for the first time since 1825. Gas is now_entering the general receiver, and is expected to make the town cheerful to-night. The town is full of collegiate-looking military, which learns to ride around the Governor on Harvard's Commencement Day; and the circle of half a mile or less between the Revere and the Tremont Hotels is beset with the same dense gmmnmdu of smokers and cyprians, while he drums and tho parades come and go. Horees arenow plentiful. “The part of the town where the fire occurred is mainly down-hill,in a sort of bummers’ parquet or pit, and thence by night the traveller on_the higher terrace can seo the rich and illusioning glare of the light from the ruins rise up to put in dumb relief more pictures of fire columns and ruined walls than were to be met with in Chicago. Looking in upon the crater of the late Sabbath doy voloamo, ono cun see tiat & very € rdinary fire has laid low much of an extensive city; but it no more dsmaged the daily regime of the town than if a purse pocket been cut from a man, and he, con- founded at his loss, had stopped to take a drink and see himself deecribed within the newspapers. The tenderloin hasbeen amputated out of Boston, but all the best of the eteak is here, znd nobody knows the difference but the ‘moneyed epicure. Fifty thonsand dollars will clear the loss on Mullett's new Post Ofice. The most inefficient establishments around Boston appear to bave been the railways. They refused Bundsy trains sf any price, and the crowds of snxions peoplo in the towns outlying Boston were denied access to their property by the prodery of these corporations. A large sum was offered in New York by the newepaper and insnrance companies for a train to Boston, but denied. The thestresprepared to show last night,bat the dim gas and self-respect caused postponement until to-night. That incendiaries have endeavorrd here as in Chicago to start other fires is not fo be disputed. Amests were made yesterdsy of several people caught m the act of firing stables and factories, and in one case they were abetted by & crowd of women and ls. Some of the soldiers, too, quartered in 18 01d South Church, that most cherighed in- stitotion in Boston, struck its venerable bell this _morning, and paterfamilias howls at the mixchief and wrreverence. Bostox, Nov. 12.—The streets are now per- | fectly quiet. Two hundred and fifty mounted soldiery patrol tho streets, and no one, unless ‘under official authority from the Commeandant, is permitted to paes the lines of the infantry. Oue man, who attempted to enter a store on Winter street, and who refused to leave afier ‘been repeatedly ordered away, attempted to run, and was ehot bg one of the guards and quite se- verely wounded. The arrangements for squelching the fire are now pearly perfect, unless some villainy or some chenge in the wealher occurato cause another ontbresk in some nuexpected quarter. Tt is probable there will be no more serious damage to life or property. At points where persons are known to have been buried the ruins are being cooled with water, preparatory to digging out the corpees of the victims. O the south side of Washington etreet, where the spread of the fire bas been most dreaded, hose are extended in readiness for an emergency. Three men were buried in the ruins of a fall- ing wall onWashington street, leaving their beads visible. A few of the crowd attempted to rescue them, but were unsuccessful, andina few minutes the remaining portion of the wall fell and buried them out of eight. Immense piles of coal at Ruseia wharf, about 500 tons, are still on fire, and will probably burn seversl days. E The city anthorities have granted to the dry geods merchants be privilege of using the Com- ‘mon as a repository foreuch of ikeir property as is eaved, and to erect shanties and other struc- ture for temporary use, 1t is rumored that 1ast night a man attempted to set fire to the gac-houes 1iear the Charlertown bridge. He was eized by the infuristed crowd, and unceremoriously banged to a Jamp-post. _Six men were arrested ihis morning, in the 2orth part of the city, a mile or two from the burned district, having been caught in the act of firing buildings. The military are still on duty. Ten thousand working girls are eaid o be thrown ont of em- pleyment by the fire, and their needs are urgest. Bostox, Nov. 12.—The work of opening pas- sages through the streets of the burni district was renewed with vigor to-day, £t lesst one thousand laborers being engaged. Nearly all the fire engines have been withdrawn, except those employed in cooling the ruins beneath wwhich safes are buried, which are being dug out all over the regions swept by the flames. The tien, cle ns away the ruins and searching for tha bodits of missing firemen. The members of Hook and Laddér Company No. 4 are looking for the body of their Assistant Foreman, who disappeared on 8unday morning, and & gang of firemen are slso at work smong the ruins of Week & Potter’s store, in search of the bodies of men supposed to be thera. Bostox, Nov, 12.—A considerable quantity of rain fell last night and to-day. The night assed quietly. The theatres are all closed, guong military patrols wers continued to-day. T 3ars are entertained that eix persons lost their lives by the falling walls of Weeks & Potter's drug store on Sunday morning, four of them being firemen. Assistant Firemen William Ferry and D. Cochrane, of Hook and Ladder Comgn‘ny No. 4, are_believed to be two of ihe number, as they have been missing since. Bearch will be made for the bodies to-day. The fact that incendiaries are about is mani- fested by an attempt mede last night to fire the etable of North & Foster, on Dudley street, Boston Highlands. The slabs were torn off the reer of the stabls, and hay stuffed be- tween them and the ceiling, and eet on fire. Fortunately the fire was discovered be~ fore it made much headway, and was extinguish- ed. Another incendiary fire in the rear of the dwelling-house, No. 27 Conant atreet, was also put out with lit-ie damage. Last evening several men and boys were dis- covered piling wood sgainst a wooden dwelling houee on Prince street, and they bad kindled a fire when the police arrived. Several of the ruffians were arrested. Two-thirds of the ring- 1331?er5 escaped, but they are well known to the pelice. INSURANCE AND BUSINESS GENERALLY. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, BostoN, Nov. 12.—The effects of the fire upon Boton business may be to obliterate the hither- to dow but well-known steady removal of the larg jobbing houees to New York. Much of thisaas been done in the pest ten years, and only :eagons of local patriotism will detain the very "argest firms of the kind in_Boston, for every argo house here may be said to have an agencyin New York. Thereis no talk at present of this'ind of change of base, but visitors and others Iere freely allude to it. The wol stock destroyed in Boston, the Advertise: estimates at $4,500,000. ' Of the jobling house, only one escaped, caped, andthe dry goods interest ia that which is most theatened with paralysis. The boot and shoe anj leather stock was not inordinately large, and nt above one-half the amount of stock at the tme of the market season, but this interest has experienced a set back, which is already the stbject of such radical propositions a8 for the cityto issue $20,000,000 of bonds, and safes of the Home Insurance Company, and the heirs of the Simmons estate I!‘u.ve been opened and contents found in good condition, !f;plaring parties zre at work in various locali- to build & tunporary market-house for the Teather people @ the water lands in the resr of the city. The frat great cryis for warerooms, and the merchmts look covetously upon the walls of the new Post Office building, and desire to fill it with merdiandise. Of the banking czpital of Boston, John J. Knox. Comptroller of the Currency, with whom I came on from Washington says that only the surplus at most is lost, and te does not believe that the Joss will be above one-half this surplus, or $5,000,000. The Natomal banking capital of Boston was §45,000,000, and the surplus was £10,000,000. _ Chicags, at the time of her great fire, bad only 10,000,000 of National bank capital but had $23,000,- 000 in losns and discounts. In short, Boston was an cnormous faction.of what is called the National Bank Ring, and it is as full of National Banks, of which seven were burned last Sunday, namely, the Stawmut, Mount Ver- non, Hide and Leather, Freeman's National, Revero, Everett, and Norty American. The President of one of tiese banks io- day told Mr. Enox that he wonld mnot pay £10,000 to be insured for the losses of his bank, and gave as an instance of the reliability of his customer, that one man came to him Monday, and said, “I have lost my ‘building and &50,000 worth of stcck in it, but I want no favor, and am 300,000 shead on the new." ““Can you pay indeposits?” asked the Presi- dent. * Yes, in deposits,” eaid the merchant. The President of the Mount Vernon bank came into town on Sunday, opered its safe, and took out his personal papers. He then locked the eafe, and the fire consumedthe build- ing, but on opening the safe yesterdsy every- thing was found perfect. ‘The insurance companies of Boston are gen- erally cleaned out. The President of the Elliott Tnsurance Compsny says that his losses are amillion and a half, and his capital and mr;)lus seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The company will pay fifty cents on the dollar and reorganize, and every stockholder yet seen re- news his subscription to the new incorporation. Of pluck and good mature here, there are plenty. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. BosTos, Nov, 12.—The news from abroad has strengthened the confidence of the Eeuple, who already nearlyfeel secure in their home incor- porations, and_there is & reactionary feeling ailinat the wild schemes of legislative relief. The Boston Herald, which is the least known outeido, the widest circulated, snd tho least sophomoric, and really the best of the Boston newspapers, comes out stiffly this (Tues- dry) afterncon ageinet any expansion of the catrency, any sort of monatary relief from the Treagury, and any issue of city bonds to aid in rebuilding ; and it also thinks that the Boston Common should not have been gflnted to the business people for temporary edifices, but that these should hbave been put up on the Back Bay lands. The Herald points to tho fact that the whole destruction is only equal to one year's increase of Boston's wealth, which amonnted at the Jast asseszment to above sev- enty millions. In twelve months, an expan- sion of the cmrency, it shows, would increase the price of merchandise and the cost of rebuilding. while for the city to issue twenty millions of relief bonds would be to ask merely for three millions 2 month, which is no more than private capitalists will supply by the ordinary businees inducements. This kind of advice shows that the business men have to be ever onthelookout for the politicians, who uso general celamities to intrude their rapacious and artificial prospects of protection upon scciety. Al through this crisis in Boston, the example of Chicsgo s steadily referredto. It is daily said by the oldest headed merchants here, that Chicago had twice the loes of Boston, with two-thirdsless Wealth, and yet the rate of money lent upon real eatate mortgages is now less in Chicago than before. Nevertheless, the two fires, taken to- gether, will probably _disconrage inordi~ nate epeculation on ~city real estate to the prejudice of country borrowers, and they will also teach the Savings Banks of New Eng- Jand the Jesson that it is not always more se- cure to lend money on city buildings at cheap rates, than on farms at better rates. Companies foreign to Massachusetis, were permitted to insure buildings in Boston, and their sgfregnta capital is above 390,000,000, Sev- eral of the home insurance companies in Bos- ton, astheShoe & Leather, Tremont, and Howard, will poy onmly twenty-five cents on the dollar. Others, like the Washington and Manufacturer's will pay 95 cents. The average will be 60 cents on the dollar. The Insurance Companies want to preserve theircharters. The Chairman of the Board of Assessors appears to- day with an estimate of the total loss which he puts down at $85,000,000, counting the loss of all buildings a little above $15,000,000, and for personal property 0,000,000, Wwhich he admits o be an over estimate. He then adds $12,000,000 for consignments, which is conjecture; 26,000, 000 2s the assumed value of the effects of non- residents, and 310,000,000 for supposed excess of stocks st this season of the year. All the above loss falls on property in Ward 5, of Bos- ton, and besides there are four millions and a half in Ward 4. This computetion does not allow for buildings yet etunding in Ward b,—vwhich are sll computed by the Assessor _ as_ lost. Seventy-five miltions will be a liberal estimate for the entire damage wrought by the fire. To-day 1,00% men have been at work opening the streets, as they have before all throngh the burnt district, snd Washington, Broad, Summer, Federal, Lincoln, xindssmn, Oliver, and Milk are nesrly entirely opened. Several of the banks resolved to-day to loan money at once and help business out. ~ The Tich are the lucky dogs of this life. A.T. Stewart, of XNew = York, came out of the fro with a small loss of £200,000. And now, Jordan, Marsh & Co., slthough re- peatedly reported as burnt out, stand on end with n whole million of goods removed to = neigkbering_club-houee, and & Jewish €yna- gogue, and their store unburnt. They corsid- erately gave 10,000 to the firemen who telped them over the cosls. Special Despatch to The Chicago Trilune. New Yoz, Nov. 11.—A composed view of the probatle restlts of the Boston conflagration has been taken bere to-day, and nearly all signs of impending psnic have disappeared. Tho most trustworthy estimates of ihe loss do not exceed £80,000,000 or £90,000,000. The total insur- azco is reckoned at £40,000,000, three-fourths of which is counted on a8 good. The dead loss to Boston is computed at about £50,000,000, falling onaclags of wealthy men who are perfectly able to repair their dieaster. Theloss of mer- chandise is believed to have been greatly exag- gerated, as the fall trade was nearly over. The ghoe and leather stocks were ai their lowest point, and it is not bélieved here that the loss in this department will exceed 10,000,000, Leading wool merchants in New York say the Joss of wool in Boston can hardly be over 1,500~ 000 pounds. Less than 1,000 bales of cotton were consumed. The freight trains and reguler steamers henco to Boston, to-day, were heavily laden with goods ordered by the indomitable merchants of that city. The Boston clothiers are here ]nyins in winter stock, which will be manufactured as usual in the provincial New England towns. NEw Yomg, Nov. 12.—The World says : * The great losses in leather and wool in the Boston fire wiil affect the industries of which they are the raw materiala but very slightly. The de- rangement will be but very temporary. Few of our waol or Jeather merchants are directly af- fected by the destruction of our sister city, and most of thoee that are will be abundantly able to meet their losses.” The Daily Bulletin eays of the wool market thet Jealers herc tave recently sold heavily to Boston merchants, but the wool is still greatly held here, or isin iransit, thus escaping de- struction. Only & small amount of Boston paper, on sccount of wool iransactions, is held here, and no fears are entertaiced that any other de- lay than an extension of time will be necessary on the maturity of the bills. A artial suspen- sion of the wool rade for weeks is expected un- il the ineurance balances are perfected. New York houses are geriously affected. The actual sufferers will bs the public at large, 28 all kinds of woollen goods, it is expected, will be advanced from 30 £ 40 per cent. In the dry goods trade, the Bulletin &lso 8ays | there is much confusien and uncertainty, owing to the absence of Jetters from Boston, but no reat uneasiness is menifested. Inthe hide and eather irade there is an entire absence of panicky feeling. In the boot and shoo trads no crisis i8 anticipated. The sentiment is that all the Boston dealers arein good standing, and on- ly may need an extension of time. Boston buyers, who appeared here yesterday, were chaerfully given tho usual credit TLoxpoy, Nov. 12.—The insurance in London companics upon property in the burnt district of Boston is $2,500,000. A commission is to be sent to Boston by the London companies to in- vestigate the original cause of the conflagration, a8 a subject of general importance to insurance interests. New Yonxk, Nov. 12.—A despatch from one of the leading Boston underwriters states the salvago will average 8 to 15 per cent. Bosto, Nov. 12.—There 18 no feeling of de- spondency in Boston, but » disposition is every- whero manifested by our business men to meet their reverses manfully, and conquer them. At & meeting of the Shoo and Leather Asgociation to-day, John Cummings President, a Committes was appointed to secure from the cu‘yj Govern- ment for them property now vacant of buildings, on which to erect warehouses and resume busi- ness, Tt is understood that Postmaster Burt is en- deavoring to make some arrangement with tho Trustees of the Old South Church, to allow it to bo temporarily used ag o Post Office, until the new office on Devoushire street is comploted. HMany large dry goods houses burned out have already opened in new quarters. The'insurance companies, at & meeting to- day, sppointed & Committee to wait on tho Gov- ernor and request him to call an extra session of the Legislature, with the view of preserving their charters and keeping the insurance busi- ness at home. A meeting of the citizens of Boston at Tre- mont Temple is called for noon to-morrow. A table relative to insurance givos the number of companies doing business in Boston at 95, Shion Vincludes iwenty compsnies admitted since the publication of the report of the Insurance Commissioner. The total amount of the capital of the companios is 298,025,000 The companies having s small amount at risk and last admitted will pay the amount of their policies in full. The Boston companies will pay from 20 to 100 per cent, or an ayerage of 50 percent of the amonnt of their risks. The following list, obtained from other sources, gives the approximate figures of the amount at risk by the companies named: North American, Philadelphia. Royal, London. .. Franklin, Philadelphia..

NEw Yorg, Nov, 12.—There wero two applica- tions, to-day, for the appointment of a Receiver of thé International Ineurance Company, one by the stockholders and another by the Directors.

New York, Nov. 12.-—Although the insurance failures in this city are not numerous, oxcite- ment was apparent to-day among various com- panies. The Standard, whose Boston losses have been over £300,000, had a meet- ing. A ‘unanimous vote ~ was pagsed to make up sll impairments and to continue business, _ Their position js asfollows: Grogs assets, £429,692; Boston Josses, 8329,644 ; fund necessary to effect rein- surance, $70,000; to be made up, $169,952. The amount to bo made up was at once subscribed. The Hanover stands thus: Gross assets, $950,~ 000; Boston losses, $250,000; reinsurance fan: $40,000. Tho paid-up and authorized capit: is £40,000, but the needed $100,000 to keep up their line of security unbroken has been given into the Treasury. The Corn Exchange have gross assets, $270,000 ; Boston losses, $100,000 ; reinsurance, $60,000 ; lus for stockholders $110,000. The stockholders and Directors, af the meeting held this afternoon, subscribed the full amount of the Boston loss, and the Compa- ny continues. The reported suspension of the Telief Company is untrue. The losses, if total, ‘aro only $30,000, while the net assets are $290,~ 000. A report that the Market had failed ap- peared in an evening paper, but is not credited. The lass of foreign companies as reported by cable is regarded as too low. It is believed hera that the English companies lose near- ly five illion. Since the Chicago fire, ‘many New York companies have reinsured in English companies having no agencies here, the business having in some cases been done through bankers. A private despatch from a leading Boston underwriter, says the sal- vages of the Boston companies will average from 8 to 15 per cent. Bosrox, Nov.12.—A preliminary meeting of insurance adjusters of the leading American and English insurance companies, was held at the Revere House this evening. The meeting was organized by the choice of Bassett, of the Ztna of Hartford, Chairman, and H. E. Bowers, of the North British, Secretary. Thirty-six companies wore represented. No definite action was taken. It was propoeed to appoint commit- {ees to settle zll the various classes of risks. e meeting adjourned, subject the call of the Chairman. At the meeting of the Governor and Executive this afternoon the Legiglature was ordered to meet pext Tuesdsy. » AID AND SYMPATRHY. BALTTMORE, Nov. 12.—At & meeting of citizens to-day, called by the Mayor, to take action in aid of the sufferers by the Boston fire, a com- ittee was appointed to ascertain in what man- ner such aid could be most effectively rendered, and to collect, if needed, such material assist- ance as necessary. Resolutions were adopted expressing profound sympathy with the people of Boston. " New YoRx, Nov. 12.—The Brooklyn Aldermen have voted to render lo Boston such material aid a8 may be in the power of Brookiyn to be- stow, and appointed a committes to act upon the matter. 4 Loxpox, Nov. 1Z—All the London morning L3 papers comment on she Boston fire, and express Bympathy for the suerers.

TLoxpox, Nov. 12/The Standard gays: “The Boston fire is = scandal to civilization, and shows a most ineffcient city i?vnmn_:ent." It compares the small London Fire Brigado and the narrow, crookel streets and alleys of this city, where fires seidom get beyond the building in” which they originate, to the thousands of undisciplined firemen, huge granite structures, and opon places in Boston.

Special Despalch to The Chicago Tribune., NeEw Yomg, Nov. 12.—It is inferred from the cable quotatious :at there was a more confident feeling in London to-day. Coneols and Ameri- can securities wem higher, and nothing .is said about a further increase of the bank rate of dis- count. % Wall street hasbeen much quieter than yes- terday. The general recovery, whether tempor- ary or not, from yesterday's shock is chiefly due 1o assurances that the Treasury would relieve the markets in case of necd. The money market was more stringent than yesterday, the bo;tom rate on call loans being 7 per cent gold, and loans being made at 1-16 ot 1 per cent per day. Mercantile paper was nomi- pal. .The specie shipments to-morrow and Thursday _will, it is estimated, smount to ~ about_ £3,000,000, which will improve the London ~market. If this gold, however, comes out of our banks, the money stringency will be increased. There is still & drain of legal tenders, and tho supply of National Bank notes is being nearly exbausted to the South and West for cotton and pork, and the latter’s demand is likely to increasc as the weather gets cooler. Until the amount of the specie shipment can be determined, and until 5 Boston banks havo demonstrated their abil- ity to meet theextraordinary demands of their customers, and in the absence of any action oo the part of the Tremsury, prudence dictates caution in making money engagements.

New York, no speculation in that article existing here since its inception. AIL dealings are Dr fature. Tho stock in hand here is 19,00 barrels, _against 47,000 Nov. 1 1lasl year. Dork noeded for consumption is brought in small lots of about 100 barrels, rating at sbout $16. _The “corner caught & number of New York dealers short in October to the extent of 5,000 barrels. Al shorts aro now covered. David Dows & Co., of thiscity, are roputed to be tha correspondents of thecornering fim in Chicago, and hold nearlyall the 19,000 barrels on hand. There i no excite- ment among New York dealers over this corner. Speculators are looking entirely to the future, and expecting a hog crop of 6,000,000.

Inpiaxaponts, Ind., Nov. 12.—The Republi~ can members of the Senate and House ab their caucuses to-night reeolved tfo meet in joing caucus to-morrow night and nominate & candidate for TUnited States Senator. This is of ¢ourse o mere form, as there is no organized opposition to Morton. The Democrats and Liberals will leave o effort untried to secure Morton's defeat. Yet ‘that event is scarcely to be hoped for, as there are too few Republican members whose opposition to him i8 80 deeply grounded that they will be willing to incur the displeasure of their constit- uenta by slaughtering the man who stands cred- jted with orgenizing the Republican victory in Indizna. 0 one is, yot mentioned 28 his competitor on ibat side. There are some among the opposition, however, who maintain that an unobjectionable Republi- can could be run in by a little stratagem,and the name of General Browne has been mentioned in this connection. General Browne is, however, too young aman to take any such risks in_this affair. Failaro would be his political death- warrant, and he ia too ambitious to risk almost certain defeat in 80 desperate a game. There 18 some speculation as to the object of the Democrats and Liberals in adjourning their caucuses without making nomization to-night, and there are hints of a combinations. Sucha project, however, seems altogether infeasible, and, from present a) peumes,!.he officers nom- inated by the Republican caucuses to-night will e elected to-morrow by the full party vole. FOREIGN. Narrow Escape of the Hel- vetia from Shipwreck. New Political Combinations in the French Assembly. The Prussian Diet in Sessiom GREAT BRITAIN. Loxpos, Nov. 12.—The opening lecture of the season before the Royal Geographical Society was delivered Jast night by Sir Henry Rawlinson, President of the Society. Alluding to the find- ing of Dr. Livingstone by Stanley, he declared that the journey of the latter into the interior of Africa was & most important event, and Stan- ley deserved a medal from the Society for the ac-;| complishment of his great undertaking. The foreign Governments, which were re- quested by Great Britasin to co-operate in a movement now being made in this country for the suppression of the East African slave trade, have sengyreplies, expressing their sympathy with the cause, but declining to unite in the ac- tive measures contemplated by England. . The steamship Helvetia, which sailed from New York, Oct. 23, for London, encountered se- vere weather whon_nearing the English coast. On Fridsy last, while off Portland, her machine- rfibqufi'- She succeeded, however, in reaching the vicinity of the Isle of Wight, when she be- came unmanageable, and drifted rapidly to- wards the French const. As Cherbourg came in sight, tho anxiety of the officers became very great. They wereunable to regain control over the stesmer’s movemonts, and were in danger of be- ing driven on shore. When within ten miles of Cherbourg they threw up rockets, and made other signals of distress. but they were not noticed_on the shore. Fortunately the wind changed, and the steamer bogan to run_before it, down the channel. The steamer Ethel came to her assistance, and, while trying to give her & tow, ran into a boat which had been lnunched by the Helvetin. The boat was crushed’ to geces,_one men killed and two injured. The elvefia finally turned into Falmouth, arriving there to-day. P U GERMANY.

WASHINGTON. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. UNITED STATES SENATORSHIES. Wasarxeroy, D. C., Nov. 12.—The political gossip of most interest here just at’ present re- lates to the United States Senatorships. Sgc- retary Boutwell’s friends do not deny that he is an aspirant to the vacancy from Massachusetts, accasioned by the election of Henry Wilson to the Vice Presidency. The Henry Clews clique of financiers in Wall street, however, are putting forth their strongest remonstrances aganst sBoutwell leaving the Treasury Department. So for aa Massachusetts is_concerned, Boutwell's most formidable competitor is Henry L. Dawes, Chairman of the Committes of Ways and Means of the present Congress. The Intter has the recommendation that he comes from the Western part of the State, & section which has not had a Senator in Congress for thirty years. Besides the territorial recom- ‘mendations, Ben Butler favors Dawes’ candida- cy on the ground that, if he supports the West- ernpart of the State in its Senatorial aspira- tions, that section will give his Gubernatorial ambition a liff next year. Second to this fight in importance, is the Sen- atorial situation in’ New York. Conkling’s prin- cipal and most formidable competitor is ex-Sen- ator and Governor Morgen, who acted as Chair- ‘man of the National Republican Executive Com- mittes during fthe Presidential campaign just closed. In pure gratitude for services rendered, it is as- gerted that the President will reward Morgan to any reasonable extent in his power. Morgan's ambition is said to be in the direction of the Treasury Dsglsrhnent. Morgen's withdrawal from thé New York Senatorial fight pwill, there- fore, largely depend upon Boutwell's resignation from the Cabinet, which in turn is contingent upon the Secretary’s chances to succeed Wilson. Sonator Spencer, of Alabama, who has now been here for several days, is quite confident of his own re-election. EX-Provisional Governor Parsonsis his most formal competitor. A letter was received here to-day Yrom & prominent Democratic member of the Legislature-elect, which indicates that the Democrats will support Bpencer in preference to Parsons. To the Associated Preas. THE INTERNAL REVENUE BUDGET. ‘WASEINGTON, Nov: 12.—The Commissioner of Internal Revenue estimates_the receipts of the Bureau for the present fiscal year at $105,000,~ 000, or $30,000,000 less than last year. Sofar as the Buresu is aware, both 'the tobacco and _epirit interests are eatisfied with the late law -of Congress, and, therefore, there iu no reason to believe that any modifica- tion of it will be recommended, unless in a man- ner of administration and reorganization of dis tricts, in order to render the system more com- pact and to reduce the expenses. HOW THE VISIT WAS MADE. As explanatory of the recent diplomatic call on President Grant, to congratulate him on his re-election, it can be trathfully stated that the Ministers ' from Spain and Belgium last week severally received telegrams from their respective Governments, instructing them 8o to act. This was the origin of sn_arrangement among the !arei%n Ministers now here to callin abody at the Executive Mansion. Secretary Fish, at the time of the arrangement, was ab- sent, and_heard of it only on iufl return to this city. What he did on that occasion was at their own request, and therefore contrary to the siatements in newspapers. No annoyance was caused by him to the senior di- plomats in consequence of the alleged disagree- able position, in which they had been placed. by paying tnecourtesy of congratulation in advance of the declaration of the Eloctorsl College. i PERSONAL. Colonel Bristow, Solicitor General, is mow in Eentucky. He will probably forward his resig- ustion this week, when his successor, already olocted by the President, will be annonnced. NORTHERN PACIFIO RAILWAY. TInformation has been received hero from Min- nesota, saying that the work on the Northern Pacific Ruilrond bas virtually been abandoned ; that the contractors had left, and that the labo- rers and teams had returned from the end of the track at Roso Lake, Dakots, thus lcaving 300 mwiles of the roud to the Missonri River afin- ished. JARNDYCE VS JARNDVAT. One of the most singnlur illustration of the Juw's delay was showno in a case argued beforo the United States Supreme Court to-day. The origin of the suit was a dispute as to the owner- ship of 2 Jarge Lract of land in Marylund, and turned upon the legitimacy of sume childron. One of the children, 8s &von as ke became of oge, Bued for the land which bad belonged to his deceased father. The case was once before argued in the Supreme duce in the Cortes a bill suthorizing the en- forcement of the Spamsh penal vudo in Cuba sud Porto Rico. CHINA.

A few Lack horses 810 yet seon, but in main they have been with- drawn. Transfer and beer wagons are being hanled by oxen. Yesterday the Council requested the Board of Supervisors of the Fire Department to place the Department upon an efficient basis, uud last night the Board regolved that each Captain of the fire companies be instructed to organize, un- der the direction of the Engineer Department, a company of fifty to o hundred men to druw the apparatus to and from fires, the men to be paid for their services. o PoucngeeesiE, N.

MILwAUREE, Nov. 12.—The epizootic which appeared in the city some weeks since, in such 2 mild form, is now raging in all quarters, and its damaging effects on trade are now to be seen on tho ~ streets. Many draft horses have beon taken = of = entirely, and in eome instances where no substitutes could be obtained, goods were transported in hand-carty or allowed to accumulate in the warchouse. A lsrge number of our merchanis and transit companies have been fortunate enough to obtain oxen as eubstitutes for.their sick horses. Among the ox turnouts are numer- ous cases in which the animals and arrange- ‘ments in the harness and Wwagons were fantastically- decorated with gilding and _ different colored ribbons. The livery stables, with one or two exce] tions, have all got tho disease. The hack stands already begin to agsume a deserted appearance, and hack hire has been advanced to double the ordinary prices. Itisestimated that1,500 horses have been attacked in the last twenty-four hours. The horse-cars have stopped rupning, and the people living on the line are already feeling )ncnnvenienceg. The deaths reported 80 far do net exceed two or three. e A Murderer Convicted. Derrort, Nov. 12.—In the Wayne Circuit Court, to-day, William $mith was fcund guilty of the marder of Dennison Miller, of Greenfield.

The interesting point is that the caso s been =o long before the various courts that the young man bringing it, 24 also his ‘motber, aud the defendant, fim each died, and also all the lawyers on both sides. The caso was before the Supreme Court about fifteen yoars ago. PERSONAL. ° Judge Mercer, recently elected Judge of the ‘Pennyylvania Supreme Court, arrived here this worning.
