Hiir Sunday lila'.cs. Chicago's business center suffered badly from tire Sunday. There wer. two seri011s blazes, one in th' morning ami the other :i! night.

Two men were injured in the tires, one in each, and two had narrow escapes in the Wabash avenue blaze, being rescued from thtj building in time to save their lives.
Markets Are Gorged. II. C. I u ti iV o.s Weekly Ileview o: Trade says: "Ilusiness is still sluggish, ns if gorged by w.essive indulgence of the appetite for buying when prices were advaieing. In nearly every branch stocks not yet distributed to consumers stand in the way of new orders, and competition of a producing force largely ex ceeding the present demand puts down prices that decline, retarding purchases yet more. Aller the holidays men look for a larger .b'inap.l. For the present tlm springs of new business are running low. but enough is doing on old orders to keep most of the works employed in pari mm a good proitortion fully. Financial influ
ences have not hinder..!, and rarely has
th op.-ning of a s.-ssion of Congress af l"et-d business so little."

WASHINGTON. The m uithly treasury statement of the public debt shows that on Nov. ItO. 1S'J.". the debt, less cash in tie treasury, amounted to 1 IS.477.C! 1. an increase for the month of 5't4i.,."o.';. which is -counted for by the decrease of .fJ.." ll.tll I in the .-ash in the trasury. This amount, however, does not include $"N-e '".'" in certificates and treasury not-.'s which are offset by an equal amount of cash in the treasury. Congress is again in session. Promptly at noon Mouday the Senate and House were called to order in their respective chambers amid the usual scenes of animation and excitement. The greatest interest, of course, centered in the House, where so many old and familiar members are replaced by new men, and iu the organization of the popular branch. Mr. Reed was elected Speaker.

William Washington, a Washington negro, has been arrested for complicity iu th treasury eaneeh-d-staiiii st-al and has made a confession which shows that the thefts had gone on for months. The stamps, he says, were not taken from the documents at the treasury building, but the papers wi-re taken away in small quantities to different houses where young girls, employed at from 40 to , cents a day, removed such of the stamps and signatures as seemed valuable, and then burm 1 the papers. It is estimated that Washington and l-M wards, who was arrested some days ago, have obtained from the tilentom of the treasury about twenty-tive thousand old papers and dstroyed a considerable number of th 'in after removing the stumps. About eighteen thousand of the stamps have been recovered by the department. The Secretary or the Treasury transmitted to Congress the estimates of appropriations required for the fiscal year
