PAI*ACE OF C1LEHIGAN BUHNS. Iloiiae Where Turkish Parliament Meets Destroyed by Fire?-Loss Is Well Into Millions. Constantinople, Jan. 19.?The pal? ace of Cherlgan, where the Turkish parliament meets, was entirely ce stroyed by fire today. The loss is great, as the building alone cost about $16,000,000. The fire originat? ed between the private apartment re? served for the sultan and the cham? ber of deputies and is believed to have been due to defective heating apparatus, although there have been reports current that reactionary ga? rnets were responsible for It. The fire started shortly before noon and a strong wind fanned the flames, which spread with great rapidity. Little furniture and very few- of the Important documents were saved. Practically all of the archives of the department of deputies, including 60 bills and the budget estimates, were t.urned. As a consequence the busi? ness of parliament will be seriously interrupted. What few effects were saved were taken from the palace by sailors sta? tioned at the legations, principally the Russians and Americans, who were first to arrive on the scene. Orientals regard the Are as an evil omen. CLARENDON COUNTY FAIR. Manning Board of Trade Inaugurates Movement sad Begins Organization of Company.
