The Great ConstantinopIe Fire.
CoEsTANTINoPLE, June 9.-The great fire in
the Pera district has been fully subdued, and
something like order reigns again. According
to careful account, over seven thousand build

these were the best in the city. The loss of life
greatly exceeded the estimate made some days
ago. The remains of one hundred and fifty
human beings have been discovered thus far,
and it is supposed this number represents about
one-half of the actual loss of life. The total
loss caused by the fire is computed roughly at
twenty-five million pounds sterling. English
underwriters suffer heavy losses. The archives
of the British Embassy was saved. The Arme-

on fire several times, and is considerably
damaged but the Gobelin tapestry, the gift of
