"It was in the apartment used by his Majesty before the Queen Dowager died that the fire commenced, and carpenters, masons and pain ters had been hard at work upon it. It is said that there were many shavings lying under

the maru, and when the workmen built a fierce fire in the newly-made fireplace some of these shavings, being whirled about by the wind, caught fire and communicated the flames to the shavings under the mars. The newly painted wood burned readily, and when the fire was first noticed it had already taken a firm hold. It is probable that instant and vigorous measures would have prevented a great conflagration, but in a Korean palace ordinary rules do not work. In the first place there must be no outcry or tumult; in the second place the gates must all be tightly closed and guarded. Then the Emperor must be awakened and informed of the fact that the palace is on fire. Then and only then can any attempt be made to stop it. It is quite TEEXING ORDINAREHOLDERS irregular for any efforts to be made in tite direction without the express order of the Emperor. The result is that if a fire once

the great Audience Hall called the Chung-wha- jon or 'Middle Harmony Hall. The fire went around three sides of this great building before the building caught fire. The large amount of ornamental work under its double roof made it burn with one great roaring tide of flame. The sight from the British Legation grounds was truly, awespiring. In half-an-hour the enormous pillars which supported the double

roof were seen to totter, and then the whole pile came with a deafening crash to the ground. Even so the débris stood sixty feet high or more and burned as fiercely as ever. This building alone represented an outlay of

something like half a million dollars.

"Fears were felt for the safety of some of the foreigners' houses to the south-west of the palace. The constant stream of sparks and cinders which fell upon and around them re- quired careful watching, and some of the foreigners were busy pouring water upon the most exposed portions of the buildings, Some gentlemen mounted the roof of the Methodist Church, which was nearest the fire, and kept watch for signs of fire there.

History shows us that seditious at- tempts have often been begun by starting such a fire, so that the first care must be to close the palace gates and give arcess to no one.

"On this occasion matters were made worse

by a high wind that was blowing from the north-east, and the building where the fire started was in the north-eastern part of the palace grounds, so that the flames were practi- cally sure to sweep a clean path through the palace enclosure diagonally to the south west

comer.

Not long after the fire was perceived from the outside the Japanese fire-bell was rang and the japanese and Chinese firemen hastened to the palace, but found all the gates fast closed. No answer was made to their shouts, so they were unable to render any assistance. No noise was heard from the palace enclosure except the angry roar of flames and the crash of falling roofs. There was something sinister about the stillness, Fire in the Orient is always associated in the mind with screaming crowds and frantic efforts to dam the tide of flames, but here all was silent. Crowds surged around the palace on the outside, but what of the thousand people or more who were within

"The British Legation guard turned out promptly, and, armed with patent fire ex tinguishers, attempted to get in at the back gate and on the side for the Custom House, but they were failed atfevery point. They then went to Mr. Chalmers's place and secured a hand fire-engine and dragged it around to the palace in readiness to enter if an opportunity

should be afforded.

"Meanwhile the fire was rapidly gaining a firmer hold upon the closely packed buildings in the palace. It leaped from the house in which it started to the adjoining buildings to the west, south and south-west, and it was not

but many of the spoons, though blackened and twisted, still retained some semblance of their original shape.

"It would be a mistake to suppose that all the buildings were burned or that all the occupants of the palace buildings had to leave, There were seven or eight buildings on the Borth, north-east, and east sides of the en- closure that were not burned, and many of the palace women, clerks, and others remained in them until morning.

"Many valuable books and documents were burned in the Cabinet Council house. These books were histories, secret documents, rere- monial laws and a farge number of foreign books. In the house occupied by his Majesty a large amount of Japanese paper money was burned. The furniture of some buildings was bastily carried out and piled up in the road or passageway, and in some instances this was burned, although the building from which it was taken escaped. In the buildings surround- ing the great Audience Hall were stored the uniforms and instruments of the native musi- cians. These were all destroyed. Many jin- rikisha that bad been prepared for use in the jubilee celebration, that was so many times

screens, silver utensils, rolls of silk, vases, and postponed, were also burned. The number of

other valuables is known, but the aggregate value must have been very great indeed.

It was therefore decided to leave the palace and go to the Library building, which is just west of the American Legation. To do this he must go out through the small gate on the west side of the palace, but when this was reached it was found already open.

Of these three the last was by far the most congenial to his Majesty, and inquiries were act on foot to find out what such repairs could be effected for. An estimate was made that it would require 19,000,000 to put the whole palace in the con- dition it was before the fire. This being nearly equivalent to a year's revenue for the whole country, was of course out of the question; but 300,pop dollars were appropriated for temporary repairs, and carpenters and other workmen were ordered to be in readiness to begin the work.
