Halifax, N. S.. Oct. 20.-The conf1ag- ration in Sydney has left wreck and ruin in it's wake.

FAMINE CROWS IN RUSSIA.
Five Moro Districts Added to the List
 Bad Haryests.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. ]
 St. Petersburg, Oct 5.-Acting upon additional information from the gover- nor of the province of Samara, the min claimed famine conditions in five more districts in this province, namely, Sa- sensk, Nicolaevesk and Stavropol. This means that the bad harvest has already cial medical and relief organization is deemed necessary for these districts. The minister also published to-day a detailed report about the relief given seven Siberian districts. Forty thou sand roubles were assigned.
 The financial atmosphere is by no means wholly cloudless. The most hopeful" signs are the prospects of ernment to continue to support the South Russian iron industries. They were never based on private consump tion, and, naturally, are not especially affected by bad crops. The improve ment in the outlook has revived specu- lation slightly on the Moscow Bourse.
 The bad harvests in portions of Si- berla last year and this year have had the effect of turning part of the tide of Siberian emigration back towards Russia. According to an official source, 77,774 emigrants and 19,721 men whom the peasant Communes sent out the land went to Siberia between January 1 and September F, and 19,72S emi- grants and 12,619 envoys returned. In addition to famine a circumstance that deters emigration and occasions the re- turn of many. is the exhaustion of avail able farm land.

ml BISHOP ANDREW '.IDDR ESS.
Spoke to n Large Congregation at First
 M. E. Church.

very large congregation greeted Bishop Edward G. Andrews at the 10:30 service of the First M E. church yes- terday. Anticipation of hearing a very
 eloquent discourse doubtless attracted
 many strangers and in this they were
 not disappointed. Bishop Andrews is
 among the many clergymen who added
 much to their credit by their euloges
 of our martyred president and for this
 presence at the First Methodist church
 yesterday morning. The usual church
 service was somewhat more elaborate
 musically than ordinarily and the
 church choir, double quartet, under
 the direction of Mir Birks, the organist, rendered the several numbers in a faultless manner.
 Before commencing his sermon Bish- op Andrews said that this was time for all friends of the university who were not graduates to congratulate those who are graduates on the splen- llIll dtuleN ellltHlS Ol tlC lllSlltullOH Ol learning from its inception some two hundred years ago. Those who are graduates should feel doubly proud of the fact that they are or have been con nected with the school because of the splendid prospects for the future at the beginning of the new century of the world and also of it's own history. Ev- eryone should especially rejoice with those who return to celebrate this great event. We think of the achieve ments of the past and stand and look at the evidences thereof with wonder and admiration We reverence those who founded and those professors and graduates in all walks of life who have made it famous as a seat of learning. Among the many things to which we pay particular attention is that love of the truth which has characterized Yale, the researches in the lines of re- ligion, the sciences, philosophy, social and economic law have been invaluable to the life of the world. Love of the truth has been the path to the central fact of Christianity.
 The speaker took for his text the 27th verse of the 18th chapter of St. John, "I1e that has the truth hear eth my words"

HEW ENGLAND BUILDING FIRE.
Blaze Spread Rapidiy-yaIuabIe Am
 ttques Destroyed.

Buffalo, Oct. 20.-New England's
 building at the Pan-American exposi- l ton was destroyed by fire at midnight Saturday. The valuable contents of | the building, consisting of rich furnish inss of historic value, costly oil paint ings and other articles of great value, 1 were also entirely destroyed. The build ing cost $30,000 The fire was discover ed at lilo and an hour later the east ern portion of the building was in ashes and the rest of the building will proba- ply not be fit for use again. The structure was one of the finest of the so- called state buildings on the ex- position grounds. It was of colonial design and of style similar to many of the older mansions to be found in prosperous New England towns. It was of white brick, with white-wood trimmings.
 A wide, spacious porch ran across the front of the building its entire length, and the colonial pillars thereon gave it thoroughly New England aspect.
 Five New England states consoidat- ed in the erection of this building Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut. Each state had its own special room on the second floor. The main floor was given up to a spacious entrance hall, commit tee and reception rooms and bureaus of information for New England peo- pie.
 Among the valuable paintings lost was a life-size portrait of the late James G. Blaine, which is said to have been the best painting in existence of that statesman.
 Nashua, N H., Oct. 20.-The furnish ings in the New Hampshire room of the New England states building at Buff \ falo, which structure was burned last night, belonged to General William E. Spalding of this city, and intrinsically were worth s100OO General Spalding, however, cannot replace them as they were antiques and Of historical asso- citation, gathered from all parts of the state and loaned to the state.
