ITHACA, N. Y, Feb. 26'-Over thou
sand Cornell students gathered in the
lecture room this noon so take action
egarding the banquet tragedy. A pro-
longed discussion was held over the
adoption Of resolutions as presented by
four class presidents. The following
resolutions were adopted:
'We, the students of Cornell uni
versity, In mass meeting assembled,
formally express regret at the deplor-
able occurrence connected with the
recent freshman banquet, which. allow
ing for falsifed and highly colored state
ments, have nevertheless disgrsced the
university in the eyes Of the public.
"Ws disavow the acts as individuals
authorized by any class or body OF stu
dents in the University. We assure the
civil authorities of our sympathy and
cooperation in the efforts to bring the
offenders to justice.
"We censure the authors OF the ex-
aggerated and sensational press reports
which have placed the students of the
university in a false light before the
world and unjustly tarnished the name
and fame of the institution.
1--WE express our conviction that il
the fresmen are permitted to continue
their banquets they should be held un-
der the protection of the whole student
body. 1t is the sentiment of this meet
ing that they should be exempt from
moleststion by any individuals or
classes"
The trustees passed resolutions author
izing the coroner to draw on the tress-
urer of the university for $500 for the

SAN FRANcIsco, Feb. 26.-The people
OF San Francisco were treatsd to an ex-
hibition of fire works tonight which,
though costly, was none the less brill
liant and exciting. At 80 O'Clock, the
time when Market street. the main
thoroughfsre of the city, WAS crowded
with people, fire was discovered in the
Golden Rule bazar. The flames had
gained great headwsy before engines ar
rived, and we're shooting through the
roof, illuminating that part OF
the city on a grand scale. Thousands
OF people were attracted to the
spot, and the immense crowds interfered
somewhat with the work of the fire de-
psrtment. At midnight, when the
flames were at last extinguished, only
the bare walls of the Golden Rule
bszar were standing. The contents
and interior of the building were mass
OF charred cinders, wet with the tons OF
water poured on to them by every
engine in the city. A portion of the
east wall fell and crushed two adjoining
one-story frame buildings. On the west
side another frame building burned, and
with these exceptions, the losses are
confined TO Davis Brothers Golden Rule
bazar.
The fire was the hottest the fremen
have had to fight in long time. and
only quick and effective work prevented
its spreading farther. A brisk wind
carried showers of sparks into the sky,
and for blocks around men ON the roofs
of buildings were forced to drench the
roofs to extinguish them. The origin OF
the fire is unknown, except that it
caught near the engine room, The stock
carried by the Golden Rule bazar con-
sisted of toys, notions, jewelry, leather
goods, c-ockery and glassware and
almost everything in the way oi trinkets
and novelties.
The loss is roughly estimated at from
$3.50, 600 to $500, 900, which falls almost
entirely upon Davis Brothers, pro-
pretors OF the Golden Rule bazaar.
The stock was insured for $175 900.
The building was an old wooden one,
with brick front, and stock of an
exceedingly infammable nature. All
the buildings in that block are owned
by the Blythe estate, and they are all
wooden ones, occupied by retail stores.
There was a brisk wind blowing, and
the firemen had hard work to keep the
flames from spreading.

WRECK OF THE KEARsAReE.
The Naval Inquiry Into the Loss OF the
Vessel Begun.


BROOKLYN, Feb. 26.--At 2 o'clock this
afternoon, the investigation attending
the circumstances OF the loss of the
Kesrsarge on Roncsdor reef began on
board the Vermont.
''Are all survivors mustered who can
be assembled" asked Admiral Cher
srdi, turning to Commander Heyerman.
"Yes, all that can be assembled" re-
piled the commander.
The president OF the court then
directed the Judge advocate to read the
narrative of Heyerman. Kelley read
the report. Then, addressing the crew,
Admiral Gherardi said:
"Now, lads, am about to swear you,
and not only you but the officers of the
ship, as well, and certain questions will
be put to you. You have all read the
report Of the commanding officers and
the indorsement OF the commsnder-in.
chief of the North Atlantic station. !
want one and all of you to bear in mind
the solemnity OF the oath you are to
take. and remember there will be cer-
tain questions put to you which it is
your duty. both officers and men, to an
swer. no matter how painful they may
be to any of you. l shall give you few
minutes to think over exactly what you
want to say, for remember subsequently
to this you have to swear to all you say
here. IA solemn pausel. Gentlemen
and crew, please raise your right hands. !"
When all had been sworn in, the pres
ident turned to Commander Heyerman
and these questions and answers fol-
lowed:
@. Is the narrative read to the court
true statement of the grounding and
wrecking of the United States late chip,
Kearsarge?
A. 1t is. Sir.
@. Have you any complaint to make
against any surviving officers and crew
of said ship on that occasion?
A. None whatever.
Admiral Gherardi then addressed the
officers and crew:
Have you anything to object to in
the narrative just read to the court, or
anything to lay to the charge of any
officer or man with regard to the loss of
the United States late ship Kear-
sarge?"
There was no movement among the
crew nor among the officers.
Admiral Gherardi turned to the former
and said: "Now, l want to impress
upon you that this is not a question of
spite. 1t is not a ques ton of dislike or
whether you feel you have a dislike
against some individual, but a simple
duty; simple, plain, straightforward
duty. Therefore any Of you who have a
complaint to make will step forward and
make that complaint to the judge advo-
cate, who will take it down in writing"
Not one man moved.
The admiral turned to the officers.
They had nothing to say. When he
spoke to some of them individually
they shook their heads.
This ended the proceedings of the day.
The men were dismissed and. the court
adjourned until tomorrow, when it will
begin taking testimony.

car is sidetracked and removed as far as
possible from all disturbing influences.
The patient is receiving the utmost care

tenden and Congressman TarsneY are in
close communication by wire, watching
for every change in Wilson's condition,
but 30 far nothing of note is seen. Gov
ernor Jalisco has issued decree for
bidding bands of mu,ic to play on the
arrival OF prominent local celebrities at

THE ABSENT DUoKHUNrERs.

No Uneasiness Over the Absence Of Ole ye-
land and Gresham.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-There is not
the least uneasiness among the officials
at the White House or the state depart
ment over tie safety of President Cleve-
land and Secretary Gresham, who left
in the storm yesterday on the light
house tender Violet for days recrea-
ton down the Potomac. The fact that
no kilograms have been received means
nothing, as Cleveland informed Thurber
he would send no communication until
he forwarded notice when the party
might be expected to reach this city
again. Secretary Gresham left similar
word with his private secretary. Thur
bef said this evening the idea of alarm
had not entered the mind of any one at
the executive mansion. "There is not
particle of apprehension, said he,
''nor has there been. We do not expect
to hear from the party until its return" !"

A Rumor That the supreme Court Has
Decided tho Case.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. 26.-The Bee, this
evening, says that for nearly week
past it has been in the possession OF a
story to the effect that the capital re-
moval question, in the case of Rideout
vs, Waite, has been decided by the
supreme court. According to this story
the opinion has been written by Justice
Garoutte, in which it is held that Sac
ramento has won victory upon every
point. 1t is also said that this opinion
is concurred in by all the other justices.
Among the rumors which are also afoat
is one to the effect that the court held
that the offer of San Jose to give 10
acres of land for capitol building site,
and 81, 900, 900 in coin, WAS in the nature
of bribe and against public policy /;
that if such thing were permitted, not
only the capitol but other public build
inps would be continually upon the
wing, and furthermore, the states law
makers might be influenced in similar
manner by offers OF land and money to
do certain things which would be detri-
mental to the commonwealth.
