DISASTROUS FIRE.
DESTROYED.
Seven Hundred Buildings in
Ashes
FOUR THOUSAND PEOPLE HOME

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Conside rable Loss of Life Feared.

OTTAWA, April 21.-A large fire started this
evening in the town of Hull, opposite this
city, and is now spreading with fearful rapid
ity, and the whole rear of the town Rappears a
mass Of flames. Probably $50 buildings have
been destroyed. Danger is now apprehended
from slight shift of the wind to the northeast
which threatens to bring the fire atowards the
front OF the town and numerous lumber piles
along the river. Efforts to CHI eek the flames
so far appear quite ineffective.
LATER.
The fire in Hull has apparently burned it.
self out to great extent. Only one special
point of danger is at present visible, in the
rear of the Catholic church. 1t is reported
over 3OO houses have been destroyed.
(sECoND DIsPATcH)
There were about 800 in the buileing. The
killed and wounded will number at leas: ten
killed, those already being three, and wounded
seven. Mrs. Hegeman, prominent lady
manager of the fair and wife of the Director
of the United States Life Insurance Company
who was the first person taken out, was taken
to the Bellevue Hospital still alive. The part
OF the building which fell was mainly occu-
pied as an art gallery. The pictures were
loaned and were insured for $15O,OO0 against
fire alone They probably are so much injured
as to be almost worthless.
The people in the art gallery received suffic-
lent warning to make their escape but the ac-
cident occurred before those in the dancing
hail. on the same floor, could be warned, and
when the wall fell into the street one end of
the roof caved in upon their heads, bury
ing greet many out of sight. Streams and
groans were heard on every side and panic
among those who had not been injured follow
ed. A moment after the accident the floor of
the dancing room settled and there was a
general stampede down the staircase to the
main part of the garden.
Fully half the city of Hull is in ruins. The
fire ragged 81 hours when the wind fortunate
ly changed Between 700 and 500 houses were
destroyed, mostly wooden structures, and 1000
people are homeless. 1t is reported dozen
lives are lost. Several are known to have per-
ished. The area burned over is mile long
and 400 yards. The loss is roughly estimated
at $500, 900 with very little insurance.

TILDEN'S CONVENTION.

Comments Of the New York Press.
NEW YORK, April 21.-The Herald says the
result Of yesterdays convention at Syracuse is
a substantial victory for Tilden.
The Tribune says the resolution of the regu-
lar convention endorsing Tilden was surprise
to everybody not in the secrets of the man
ayers, and that the resolution in response to
Tammany's proposition for harmony may mean
the withdrawal ofTilden or may be only diplo
matte way Of rejecting it. The result of both
conventions is that Tilden's delegation will be
admitted to the Cincinnati convention and
Kelly's rejected.
The Times says the result leaves the Demo
cratic party of New York little further from
harmony than it was. The Kelly delegates re-
turn from Syracuse beaten and dispirited,
Tilden's supporters have demonstrated their
power to do as they please, and have adroitly
accomplished all that was necessary to secure
undivided support of their candidate at Cincin-
natl, without provoking contest over instruc-
lions or a serious protest against dictation
The World styles it the Trump Convention
at Syracuse" and editorially considers the
proceedings of the regular convention as
farce. All good Democrats hoped, and proba-
bly, good many of them expected, that Til
ten and the State committee, which under his
influence precipitated the defeat of 1879 upon
the New York Democracy, might rise to some
sense of what the situation required of them.
But these hopes have been dissipated. 1t now
rests with the national convention at Cincin-
natl to give the good Democracy of New York
a candidate upon whom they can unite, or to
elect Gen. Grant.
The Star (Tammany organ) says that yester-
day it INDUCED in the hope of compromise
and Cancellation. "Seeing the error and de-
ploring it, our policy is now for atonement and
remedy. The fight is forced upon us, and to
the bitter end it shall be fought"
The Commercial Advertiser says the SYRIA
cuse proceedings were an unquestioned victory
for Tilden.

The West Point Outrage.

WEST POINT, April 21.-Cadet Andrus, who
had trouble with Whitaker, was examined to-
day and answered all questions in the negative
in reply to Attorney Townsend.
Andrus said that his difficulty with Whit
taker arose from the latter falling into line by
his side and he requested Whitaker to stop it,
which he did for few days. 1t was at the end
of the official line.
Townsend-Was there any other place for
for the boy to fall in 4?
Witness-No Sir.
Townsend-What do you think the boy was
going to do? He had to fall in somewhere,
didn't he?
Witness-Yes Sir.
The witness stated that he asked the captain
to let both fall in at another place in the line.
saying that if he could not do so he would
make an application to be reduced to the
ranks.
The testimony of the cadets showed that
several were absent from their rooms between
10 and II O'Clock on the night of the assault,
but the cause of absence was generally given
Gen. Schoield has issued manifesto remov-
ing restrictions from all the cadets, and assures
them OF his mistaken faith in their honor and
integrity. The outrage has been followed, he
says, by greater insults and indignities from
sources where justice and reasonable conf
dence were expected.

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL %.

while recitations can furnish the students with
practice in answering questions, and the IN
structor with opportunity of guiding the STU
dents and correcting their errors. The same
principle should be extended as far as possible
in all studies. and also in preparatory schools.
1t has recently been tried at Harvard with sig
nal success in the examinations for second-year
honors in mathematics, while in political
economy and history there is al tendency in
the same direction. The adoption, also, in the
Harvard Law School of the lease SYSTEM"
which is based ON the principle of letting the
student do his own thinking in law, has caused
Independent thought to be more necessary
than researchi for success in Rotations; has
infused extraordinary vigor into the school,
and made its recitation training unsurpassed.
Itmay be objected that by such a system as
have proposed q prize would be placed on
deception. Even if some obtain illegitimate
assistance, it is not pertinent to the real issue,
which is, What is the best method for those
who wish to improve? Natural shirkers will
not receive much improvement by any meth
cd. Forcing man to work does not improve
him, as with the removal of the pressure he
will return to his old condition. What we
want is not to lift young men up to height
and hold them there, but to enable them to
rise by their own exertions. William Brown
