FAMOUS COLLEGE IN RUINS
MAIN BUILDINGS OF HOLY0KE SEMINARY DESTROYED BY FIRE.

Assistance Sent From Holyoke and North
 ampton-Property in Ashes Includes the
 Principal Seminary and the Gymnasium
 Several of the Female Instructors Over-
 come-Many Students Rendered Home-
 less and Taken to South Hadley-Most
 of the Halls Were Not Not Damaged
 South Hadley, Mass, Sept. 27,-The main Mount Holyoke college building was destroyed by fire early this morn ing. The building has stood for many years with the two wings and gym nasium. The loss will probably amount to $200,000.
 The fire started under the gymna- sium, probably in the drying room connected with the laundry, and spread rapidly to the rest of the building. The fire was discovered at 4:45 o'clock and it took until after o'clock to destroy the building. There was no adequate fire protection about the building, and assistance was called from Holyoke and Northampton. Three steamers were sent from Holyoke and one from Northampton, but as the water had to be pumped nearly half a mile it offered no check to the flames. Much of the furniture and contents of the building, including a large part of the students property, was saved and no one was in- jured as far as learned.
 Mrs Meade, the president of the col lege building, was considerably over- come by the excitement, as was also Miss Knapp. They were removed to the Holyoke City hospital.
 The building that was burned was four stories high and about 1S0 feet long, with two wings running back about 200 feet, also four stories high, and a three story gymnasium with the laundry and machine rooms beneath, adjoined the wings
 The trustees carried an insurance of about $2O0OO0, and the total loss will approximate that figure. Several of the students were rendered homeless, and they were given quarters in South Hadley. Some went to Holyoke and others to Springfield. The buildings that remain are the library, the science hall, Williston hall, Dwight hall, West hall and South hall

 President Kruger according to the latest information received here, has called the burghers to arms, and large force of them is proceeding against Jo- hannesburg, They are advancing rap idly and battle is hourly expected.
 Berlin, Jan. 1,-Considerable excite ment prevails here over the crisis in the Transvaal and the attitude of Great Britain is denounced upon all sides. The National zeitung says:
 "The South Africa company, holding the charter of the queen, has committed a. grievous breach of the peace and Vio- lation of the law of nations. Germany's interests demand that ths independent republic shall be maintained intact and we expect Germany to interpose with all possible emphasis to assist President Kruger"
 The Vossiche zeitung says; '"rhe pro ceedlngs of the British South Africa company cannot be tolerated, and Ger many must immediately take energetic steps to protect the South African re- public"
 The paper expresses hope that Dr. Leyd the secretary of state of the South African republic who is now in Berlin and in close communication with the foreign office, has already telegraph ed to Pretoria that Germany will grant the Boers protection that will not be merely diplomatic.

 Everybody rushed on deck and the widest excitement prevailed, Captain seccombe succeeded in calming the panic stricken passengers and ordered the boats lowered, When the boats were gotten into the water the women We're placed in them first and the men afterward.

The Pending Issue of Bonds.


 New York, Jan, 1,-Wlth all the ex- changes closed ana Q holiday prevail ing in Wall street, few bankers v!s- tted the usual center of hnancial in terest to-day. The office os /, r, Nor gan & Co. had it's big ron doors fast closed to the publ;a. but some of the employees were at work. II could cLly be conjectured that their labor had q bearing upon the classification and as- sorting of the multitude of applications filed with the firm for participation in the syndicate forming for the purpose of selling to the government the gold required by the treasury, taking bonds in payment.
 The syndicate proposes to sell to tho treasury of the United States ll,500,coo ounces of gold. One-half of the gold, 5,750000 ounces Equivalent to $102, ,250,- right, and at once, and the remaining hall, or any part of it, is to be supplied at the option of the government upon such terms as may be agreed uEon. The subscribers bind themselves to se- cure the gold furnished by them from other sources than the treasury. The bonds to be received in payment are to be 4 per cent. bonds of 1925.
 It is not know whether or not tho government has as yet made any con- tract or positive agreement with the managers of the syndicate to accept their proposal. Nothing definite as to what are the intentions of the admins tration has been made public.
 MT. J. Pierpont Morgan arrived at his office later in the day. The other members of the firm also put in an ap- pearance. MT. Morgan said he had no statement to make in regard to the situ- ation.
 From another source than J. F. Mor- gan & Co. this statement was obtained;
 MT. Morgan is the only one who can speak positively, but up to last night, so far as is known, no con- tract has been completed with the gov ernment. In receiving applications for participation in a syndicate MT. Mor- gan has been enabled to find out just how much gold can be furnished by his friends and associates should the government apply to him in the matter The applications made, I have heard, represent somewhere between $130,Q00,- GOO and $175 GOO, 900 in commitments to furnish gold at once to carry out the purpose of the syndicate, Whether further applications for participation In the syndicate will be received to-mor- row by J, P. Morgan & Go. I do not know"
 In receiving applications for partici- patton in a syndicate J. P. Morgan & Go. are said to have reserved the right to scale down the commitments should they in the aggregate exceed one-half of the total amount of gold that the syndicate is formed to furnish.

Wilkesbarra, Pa, Jan 1.--Details of the explosion of the boilers at Laws breaker, near Avon, yesterday, in which Alexander Young, Thomas Mcdonald and Courtright Wolf were Killed. show that the explosion startled the resi- dents of the town, and houses shook upon their foundations. Windows were broken, and the people ran out of their houses. They saw a cloud of dust and steam near the shaft, where they found the six boilers which had been used to furnish steam for the engines scattered in pieces. One of the pieces had passed lengthwise through the engine room, tearing away everything in it's path and half burying itself in the ground 200 feet away.
 Just before the explosion Mcdonald, Young and the engineer. Thomas Bost- wick. were in the engine house. The first two were there to remove a pump from the engine house and were pre- pairing to commence work. Bostwick was standing at his post, one hand on the throttle and another on the reverse lever, awaiting SIgnal rom the men whom a moment before he had lowered to the bottom of the shaft.
 Suddenly the door leading from the fire room to the engine house was open- cd and the fireman, John T. Bleas, ran in and in an excited manned yelled: There is something the matter with the boilers, boys. Run for your lives" and he dashed out of side door.
 Then there was a loud report and the noise of escaping steam.
 A hurried search was made in the en- zine room. where the lifeless bodies of the three men above mentioned were found badly mUtilated,
