telegram has Just been received from Con-
stantneple which reports the fact that terrible
connagrstlon by fire is just now raging in the
Turkish capital The date Of the origin of this sad
visitation Is not stated but 1t Is reported that as
many 1,OOp houses in the poorer quarters and in
the suburbs of scutari had been already destroyed
when the despatch was forwarded. No indication
is given that the fire was under control, and fur
ther details AZ to the progress and actual extent OF
the calamity are awaited with great anxiety In
England.
THE TURKISH CAPITAL AND CHICAGO.
ConstantinopIe fas suffered frequently and
severely from the visitation OF the fire king
during some twenty years just past. In.
ternally, as in the suburbs. 1t appears
ill-paved, dirty lanes, which are crowded with
low-built wooden houses and roughly constructed
sheds. Then again, and even in these sheds, its

innammabe materials, while the efficiency of It's

supply OI WAFER ZOE Clle use OF tne engines are

THE LATEST GREAT FIRE IN THE CITY.
On the 5th of June 1870, the latest and one of the
most fierce and fatal fires which ever ragged in the
city of Constantinople broke out In frame house
in Pera, at the hour OF twelve O'Clock noon. 1t
freshened under the influence Of severe north
wind which was blowing at the moment, and
spread with marvellous rapidty over an area Of
ground almost incredible in extent, running from
the Taxim to the Petit Champ des Mortz along
the main street to some distance iowa ds
and between the Galata Saray college. consuming
all the houses Of the place. of stone as well as of
wood. Ten thousand houses were burned, and it
was at first supposed that 1000 persons-men,
women and children-lost their lives, by the flames
or by the explosion of gunpOwder or Kerosene Oil.
The number or the dead was reduced somewhat in
amount by official facts published by the Porte
officers subsequently, but it fearful in amount,
Notwithstanding. The gross loss of property was
estimated at 25,oOO,OOo Of American dollars. The
Sultan appeared personally at the, scene OF the

Description OF the Citation.

The iron-armored treret stfp Glatton one OF the
modern monster engines for war employed by
Great Britain, was launched Mt Chatham dockyard
in tho early days Of the year 1871. On her arrival
at Portsmouth, soon afterwards, she was placed
for a time at harbor moorings as tender to the
Excelent. gunnery ship, tor the purpose OF afford.
Ing the means for drill with her 25-ton turret guns.
Size Is very powerful vessel, and is a substantial
and valuable addition to the navy. Her freeboard,
or height out Of the water Is only
three feet, and in time OF war, by the
use of water ballast. this can be reduced
to two feet The armor plating Of her SIDES is IL
inches thick above and ~ inches thick below the
water line, and worked on to a teak backing Of
2Oinches. The timber backing ID attached to an Inner
s% ei'ns Scss dsao SnS dS :a en ESa Ss
bieastwork entetng the bass OF the iurret s
covered with II inches iron plating laid on to
carry one revolving turret enclosing two 25-ton
6OO-pOunder guns. This turret Is 80 feet in
fhs ad Which occupies et brdsa ses
I feet above the breastwOrk, and Is so con-
nected as to give the guns an unobstructed fire to
within about twenty degrees OF the fore and aft
line on either side; 1t is also cOntrived that no
point OF the horizon is left upon which one OF the
two guns cannot he directed. most important
feature OF the Gatton is her ram, which projects
eight feet beyond the upright part OF the stem, and
is sufficient to make her very formidable adver-
that her speed will be more than nine knots an
hour but as she is built for coast defence,
this has been sacrificed to a great extent
to weight OF metal, both in armOr-p plating
and guns. The Giatton. although she is
monitor and perfect specimen OF q low
fieeboard turret ship, has many special character
istcs which distinguish her from other vessels OF
the same class b0th at home and abroad. She holds
a middle position between the American monitor
and the new turret ships which are now being built
for the british Ntvy; and she will stand as prac-
tical record tie first Tree concession Of preIu-
dice at the admiralty to recognized want in the
navy. The difference between t le Gatton and the
ordinary monitors lies in two pOnts-a more heavily
plated upper deck and heavily plated breast
work for the protection OF the turrets and tunnels
In the GlattOn whose deck has an area Of 13,34S
square feet the iron plate three inches thick)
which covers 1t Is about TONS and Is sufficient to
cover tine sides OF the vessel If increased by seven
feet with nine inches OF armor all round. This ad-
dItiOnal weight OF iron carried by the Glatt0n ID
then the essential compromise which distinguishes
her from existing monitors.

breeas ana . little modking about would
then Be enabled to see yachts sailing in
stead of drifting. II the month Of October
wess dsAnitely selected as the racing season in
New York waters We might perhaps, have
some viAitors from tho other side. to add to the
exoitement a. they would have time to come
hsre aftsr the conclusion, of the August regattas
In ths English Channel. There is one thing,
however, pretty certain, that in the month of
October yacht will have to be fast to win, and
there viii then be some encouragement afforded
to those gentlemen who e1pend large sums
every year in buldsag new yachts and i'm
proving the models and rig of those they have
already tried and found deficient in some
essential point.
Another point worthy of consideration is
the progress made during the past ten years
in the size and class of yachts that now belong
to the New York Yacht Club. When the club
was organized, some twenty-eight years
ago. the course was off the Elysian Fields;
but as the feet began to increase in size, in
1868, the course was made from Owls Head
and return, and dignifed by the title of an
ocean race. The past twelve years have made
. vast difference in the tonnage of the New
York Yacht Club and have added to the feet
number of large seagoing schooner yachts
Of entirely different stamp from those accus-
toned to sail an ocean race from Owls
Head and return. Drifting in June is not
what is required for large keel and centre
board yachts, and it is also obvious that racing
in October will have the effect of causing new
yachts to be built for seagoing purposes as
well as speed, and stop the construction of
shallow skimming dishes, put together for
smooth water and light airs.
