Theatre and Rigid Inquiry Will Take Place MANY FINE DRESSES : ARE BADLY DAMAGED Audience Dumfounded When ; Curtain Went Down on First Act of Deslys Show NEW HAVEN. Conn., Nov. 19. A rigid inquiry will be made by the police and the Tale authorities into .the disturbance in the Hyperion the ater last night in which students were ejected from the theater by the po llee after jh stage hands had turned on a hose and drenched many in the audience. This was followed outside by hand to hand conflicts. Statements as to the origin of the trouble greatly differ. The audience had been a hap py, jubilant one until about 1:30 O'clock. The student body and Tale alumni had been aked and Joined heartily, in the singing or college 'songs which the chorus of Gaby Del sys' company had started. The audlenoe was dumbfounded therefore when the curtain went down after the first act and announcement was made that the play had ended. Chkef of Police Cowles says he ha not ordered the play curtailed al though he had given instructions to the police captain on duty there to stop the show if it was found to be indecent, complaints alleging this having come to Chief Cowles. 8U Students Arrested Six students arrested on the charge of breach of the peace probably will be before the police court tomorrow. There is the possibility that these students can prove they were not the actual disturbers. , The arrests centered around Louis Bomelsler. a brother of Yale's var sity right end. who was roughly used by the officials and clubbed about the '' head. Most of the other arrests were due to efforts: to protect Bomelstor, .i-XJWiuiliencsw.was not made ,.up wholly of Tale men.

'-0 The president contracted a bad cold shortly after his return from his trip through the country. Against the advice of his physlolan.

OREflGH AUDIENCE CASE OF FIGHT OR ASK THE COURT TO LEAVE THE CAPITAL . ewuMBwswt Premier Yuan Shi Kai Must Make His Decision Within a Week Various Efforts Made For Peace Have Failed. PEKING, Nov. Demands for the thorne's abdication are crowding upon Premier Yuan. Shi Kai who doubtless wHl be forced to make a de ctslon within a week. It seems to he a case of fight or ask the court to depart from tha capital. Every sug gestion for abdication la accompanies by promises of protection and ample pension. It is reported tonight that the pre mier has ordered a renewed attack upon Han-Kanh and Wu-Chan. If this is true, it signifies his choice. The government has succeeded in rid ding the Lanchau troops of both re volutionary generals, Chan Bhao Tjeng and Lan Tien Wei. The form er is now at Tien Tain.' The latter, who commanded the third division, has. been dismissed and is proceed ing southward, not as Yuan Shi Kal's envoy to submit further proposals .to General LI, the rebels" " commander, , as previously reported, by to Join the rebel forces. Display of Patriotism There has been an unexpected dl play of patriotism during the last day or two. Instead of rivalry among the provinces there have been evi dences of remarkable unanimity In an effort establish a union govern ment quickly in order to prevent the dangers from foreign complications. Rear Admiral Murdock telegraphs the American legation from Nanking that the American consul with the arohlves Is aboard, the New Orleans and that all Americans have left the city with the (exception of a (few members of the Red Cross. It would be impossible, says the admiral, to protect American property at Nan king without landing 300 marines pre pared ' to' sustain a oelge. For this reason he has sent none of Sits men ashore. - , Various efforts made in Influential quarters tq start negotiations look ing to pease have up to the- present failed. Yuan Shi Kal's lieutenant. Tsa), Ting-Kan,; , has Mturnsa'TheT from' a fruitless attempt to negotiate with General LI at Wn Chang. The commander of the revolutionaries seems determined not to yield Iq the slightest degree. The 'foreign banks have decided to establish' a banking committee at Shanghai, as in 1900, to meet the extraordinary conditions and adjust the payments of the in demnity and other claims. An edict published today announces that the regent, representing the, em peror, Wl, on November It swore before the emperor's tablets in the ancestral temple, that he will adhere to the nlnteen constitutional articles. It Is reported that the imperialists have rooted a rebel force of 1,000 JHunaneee.

If Begin ning tomorrow the American Federa tion of Labor win get down to the real work of the annual convention, now In session In this city. Several of the more important committees are ready to report to the convention at the Monday session and it ulmoet a cer tainty that a warm fight will be preci pitated to last throughout the week. One of the first Jurisdictional contests to come before the federation will be the electrical workerr fight, of several years' standing. The Reld faction, which claims about (i per-cent of the electrical workers of the country, is fighting against the recognition by the convention of the McNulty fac tion. It is declared the socialists' delegates, several of whom are in cluded In the Reld delegation, will take advantage ef this opportunity of starting their fight against Gom pers, the present regime, on the floor of the convention. The request of the California delegation for an. ap propriation of ISO.eOO for the Mc Namara brothers' defense and the resolution calling upon Mr. Gompers and other labor officials to sever their connection with the National Civic Federation also are expected to be re ported upon tomorrow. Another mat ter to be presented to the convention In ft speech by Chas. 8. "Barrett, presi dent ef the National Farmers' Union, will urge a closer' affiliation with (he labor organisations of the country and tbe farmers. The activity of the visiting delegates today was confined to a religious meeting this afternoon at which ex-Governor Hoke .. Smith presided. Addresses were made by several f the labor loaders and min isters of the city. reported were 800, and the Imperial ists' 100. SITCATIOJr MORE INVOLVED SHANGHAI,- Nov. !. The situa tion in sou&ern China Is becoming more involved each day. The re publicans apparently are determined to secure their Independence from the Manehu dynasty but thre are grave doubts of ther ability to establish a stable government in time to avoid the consequences 'of continued dis organisation and the absence of rev nue and a coherent administration. r Th local organisations generally are ' preserving ordor. Shanghai Is the; center of business for the entire Tang-Tse valley, which is stagnant while the military operations around Wu Chang and Nanking are proceed tng. The situation at Peking has lit' tie Influence" on this part of the coun try. The power of Yuan Shi Kal's name Is waning, because It' Is be lleved ' that he deserted from ' the cause of the people. .The provinces which have declared Independence are organising separate governments but each refuses recongttlon to the responsibilities Incurred by -the gov ernment. Nanking, the ancient capi tal, Is, stilt firmly in the possession of the Imperialists. Tremendous Strain The reformers do not conceal the tremendous strain, as well as demands upon their financial resources. In conducting the campaign.! against Nanking will probably mark the real sltion at Wu Chang. The fall of Nanking wll probablyy mark the real commencement of the final act of the drama, but even the entire unity may be impossible. The outcome of the attack which the reformers are preparing to make on Nanking Is problematical, but If the Imperialists elect to remain behind the walls It probably will become a question of selge and starvation. ' Neither aide has an over abundance of food sup plies. " The revolutionary forces ap proachlng Nanking u.. may v-mmber ttiathoufnds.'' Fifteen V warships now In the river under command ef the 'rebels are awaiting the signal for tbe attack.

Admiral Bah, who commanded the loyal squadron at Hankow and whoso whereabouts have been uncertain for some time past, arrived In Shanghai today. He .appeared much depressed.
