rebellion reigns in the high school, led
by the members of the older classes,
against the discipline Of the principal,
Prof. Heyden, and Supt. Hisey. Last
night the school was invaded and the
books Of the 400 pupils taken from the
desks and thrown promiscuously ON
the floor in one pile. To-day no les
sons were heard. Committees from
each grade were appointed to confer
with the seniors and a resolution was
presented and adopted denouncing the
action. Tue seniors voted against the
resolution, but the members Of COM
lnittees from other classes outnum-
bercd them and the resolutions were
declared carried. One resolution called
for the signatures of all concerned,
but the seniors refused to sign. They
visited newspaper offices in Il body to
protest against the publication OF the
resolutions. The schools here have
been in perfect turmoil the entire
year.

House After the Inmates Had
neen Driven Out by the Police.

New York, Dec. ga fire this morn
ing destroyed two big buildings on
East Ihirty-third street. partially de-
strOycd the New York Polytechnic hos
pi1al and compelled the removal of its
patients, drove Il score OF families
from their homes in adjoining build
ings and did $5OO,NO damage. The
structures which We're destroyed We're
hve-st0ry building Mt 211-21:; East
Thirty-third street. used partly as an
Office building, and IL big siN-story
building at 215 to 23l. used as a fac
tory building. The first and second
floors of 21l-213 We're used as offices
and display rooms for the Kalden-
burg Manufacturing company, which
occupied with its factory the basement
and first and second floors of the fac
tory building. The company manu-
features pipes and smokers articles.
The third, fourth and fifth floors
front of the 211-213 were occupied as
offices by the Sebastian Sommer Piano
company and the Gibson Piano COM
pany, allied concerns which had their
factory in the upper floors of the fac
tory building. The rear part OF the
upper floors of 211-21:i was occupied
by the snuff factory of lAdolph Primer.
1t is believed that the fire started i'll
the snuff factory. a part of the top
floor of the factory building was occu-
pied by the New England Car Spring
company.
The fire had been burning for an
hour before any real alarm was felt
in the Polytechnic, though the patients
knew there was 4 fire in the neighbour
hood. Suddenly the roof OF the hospi-
tai burst into flames. The physicians
in charge decided at once to remove
the tifty-eight patients, and the Della
ware hotel, near by, was placed at the
disposal Of the hospital officials. A
squad of policemen began the removal
OF the sick, thirteen children being car
ried out without trouble. There was
more trouble with the adult patients.
Patients who should not have left
their cots, defied the nurses and tried
to escape. None of the patients will
suffer from the change.
In the tenement house just west of
the burning buildings lived twenty
four families. The mothers and faith
ers watched the tiremcn with inlif-
ference from their windows while
their children played with Christmas
toys. Suddenly terror seized them as
onlookers cried: run for your lives.
The wall is going to fall on YOU
Mothers picked up their little ones
and ran to the street. Others refused
to leave. The police showed the men
and women down the streets and
picked the children from the floors,
carrying them out. Most of them were
i'll their night clothes and each one
was clinging to toy. The roof of the
factory building fell within an hour
after the fire was discovered. The
wall to the west tlmbled upon the ten
ement house. The east wall went
down on Schuller's hotel. The loss of
half million is we'll covered by in
Surance.

practically determined the composition
of his cabinet, except as to one OF two
