New York, Jan. 3.—-Flames burst
forth from the Fifth Avenue Theatre at
midnight last night. The theatre is in
tho Gilsey block, on the west side of
Broadway, between Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth streets.
A careful estimate of the loss pluc
the total at $5(17,000, more than half of
which falls upon the insurance
panics. Never in the history of the fire
department of this city were the me
bers called upon to buttle with such
fierce liâmes.

"The attitude of Minister Smith
toward our people in Russia is so dotri

so misrepresents the sentiments of his
