A large fire broke out last evening towards. the centre of the city and many Europeans PATNA NEW started for the scene, but finding it too distant made good their return not appreciating the BENARES NEW idea of being lost in the mare of filthy streels PERSIAN (PAPER)... One American sailor, from the U.S.S. Helena got hold of a man who spoke pidgin - English- and passed himself off as a guide, and they set off to the scene of the conflagration. After 660,350830 wandering for twenty minutes or more the 154,933090 supposed guide asked the American' for money 395,164 860 to go and buy "chow." The sailor innocently gave him two Mexicans, and the guide has 1,217,448'780 | since been missing. The unfortunate victim walked the streets all night, and at 6.30 this morning managed to get to the Shameen

In spite of the event clashing with the Regatta Lundreds of people went off to the ship, and at times visitors turned ep in such numbers that they had to wait their turn for a launch. Every one comented on the fittings being such -a contrast to those of our other leviathian visitors built in England and Germany which are really likes many relations. The cabins, fitting, beds, furniture, baths and carpets all seem to be of a new improved pattern and the suites of rooms, consisting of a bed-room, sitting-ryoin, bath- room and lavatory, give travellers far more privacy than they could enjoy in a first class hotel; in fun, a great portion of the vessel seems to be simply cut, up into so many houses. In the first saloon dining room the pannelling is inlaid with beautiful oil paintings, and to convey an idea as 'to size, it will be sufficient to observe that it extends the whole breadth of the ship and seats 202 persons. The music and smoking rooms also are so different to the a. commodation in this respect-seen on other vessels; scats are so broad, the room so cheerful, and, at the same time, there is an entire absence at gaudy coloured tiles Sc, which give otherwise comfortal le rooms | such a common appearance. Great points in the Korea's internal adornment fie in. its pric ticability and simplicity. Good polished, teak, and mahogany and snow while paintwork sur- mou? ting velvet cushioned selters and lounges," and bright new Brussels carpets on the deck need no adornment. The Korg is a vessel of 11,300 giass ions, 330 h. between perpendiculars, 63 ft, moulded beans and 41 ft. 10 in, depth. She has fourtiers of beams, three decks, double- bottom
