HOSPITAL IN DANGER. Police Prevent Rioting Strikers from Using Explosive. The timely action of two Tenderloin policemen prevented the theft of twenty-five pounds of dyna mite yesterday morning in a fight In 15th-st. be tween strikers and non-union men. the explosion of which would have wrecked the New- York Hospital. Tho workmen on the new twenty story Btuyresant Building, at l&th-st. and 6th-avo.. have bean on strike for four days, their places being taken by forty-five non-union men. Collisions between the two parties have been frequent. There was a fight Thursday night, and yesterday morning when the men went to work it was found that the door of the dynamite shed, which Is bulk up against tha wall of the New-York Hospital, had bean tampered with. Last night when the men ceased work they were attacked by the strikers. The men fought all over the street, until Patrolman Rlordan tried to quell the riot single- handed. Ha was rapidly getting tha worst of it when Mounted' Patrolman O'Keefe drove his horse luto the thick of the fight and began laying about with his nightstick. He was subdu ing the mob when two of the strikers broke away and ran into the. excavation to the dynamite shed, where a watchman named Joseph F. Tracy was on guard. Tracy picked up a piokaoc and fought them off, but they knocked him down with simi lar weapons and entered the shed. The dynamite was already capped and ready for us*, but as they were about to seize several sticks the. two patrolmen seized them. They fought their way loose and back into the crowd, just as the re seivec from the Tenderloin station arrived. The crowd dispersed, the police chasing two of them to 14th-st. and 6th-ave., where they were captured. At Uie station house the prisoners said they were Joseph Mlchell and Prank Chamari. Neither the two patrolmea nor the watchmen could Identify them as the men who had tried to steal tho dyna mite, and they were locked up, charged with dis orderly conduct. Two patrolmen have been detailed to guard the dynamite. The lockout of rockmen and excavators Is now likely to proJong the strike indefinitely. To even tip things the walking delegates of the union or dered about thirty-five hundred more men on strike yesterday on uptown contracts. Most of those were excavations for apartment houees. A fight between non-union men and strikers, the flrst of the kind since the trouble began, took place yesterday morning in East HOth-st. About fifty men were working In excavations when a crowd of strikers and sympathizers appeared and rained brickbats on the workers. The latter fought back, but were outnumbered, and finally made their es cape out of tho cellar. A squad of polios rived in time to disperse the crowd. Work went on yesterday at the RothsclUld Build ing, 16th-st. and 6th-ave., under police protection. Strike pickets succeeded In getting non-union en gineers to quit twice. The 1,800 men who struck on the contracts of Patrick Norton returned to work yeeterda* 1 - under an agreement which does not involve recognition of the union. It was learned that the fight will now be mainly directed against the rock drillers and engineers, who are well organized and who the employers now say are responsible for the extensive organiza tion of the excavators. The greater number of contracts Involve blasting operations, and in sucn cases the excavators cannot work If the drillers and engineers are working. They made use of this, the employers say, to force the excavators into organizing. BIONDIS SUIT BEGINS. Failure to Exhibit "Saturnalia" Group the Cause. The suit of Ernest Biondi against the Metropol itan Museum of Art, which began yesterday in the Supremo Court, was suddenly stopped In the middle of the afternoon session by Justice Leventrltt or dering court adjourned on account of the death of Justice Van Brunt. Mr. Biondi was not present. but his brother, Constantine. sat near his counsel, Gilbert Ray Hawes. Ellhu Root appeared for the Metropolitan Museum. Mr. Hawes said the action was brought a#ainst tho Museum, but had originally been brought against thnt Institution and all its officials as an action at law to recover $300,000 damages. This complaint has been amended, and a suit In equity brought. Mr. Biondl's contract with the Museum bound the institution to exhibit his "Saturnalia" group in the new east wing for one year, at the end of which It was to.be returned to the sculptor. Its value having been increased by publicity. The museum gave bond for H8.200 for Its return, but failed to exhibit it. "BJven If It were one of the most loathsoma and disgusting works ever exhibited, the Museum had r.o right to refuse to carry out its contract," said Mr. Hawes. Tho first witness was Constantine Biondi, who identified certain correspondence with the late Gen eral di Cesnola relative to the group. Mr. Hawes read a letter written by Paul Hallo. who acted as secretary to General dl Cesnola, say- Ing that General dl Ceanola was the only one to piake any opposition to tho resolution to remove the group, and that "this work of art raised a tre mendous opposition, and was declared Immoral Whitelaw Reid. th« American Ambassador to Gr«at Britain, had been subpoenaed, but ho was excused.

City Democracy May Support Mayor McClellan. The New- York City Democracy, better known as the Sheehan Democracy, which supported Mr. Low In 190 a and Mayor McClellan two years ago. will support Mr. McClellan unless tho Republicans nominate a Democrat on a fusion ticket. The Sheehan men are. ready to make an alliance with tho Republicans. Th*»y have broken with William R. Hearst and the Municipal Ownership party, of which Mr. Hearst is supposed to be the leader. The decision to break away from Hearst was reached on Thursday night of last week, at a stormy meeting of the executive committee of the organization at tho Hoffman House. The secret was co well kept that nothing was heard of it until last night. The cause of the rupture wa« the alleged discov ery by the Bheehan men that Hearst was getting some of the district leaders away from Sheehan and laying plans to capture tho organliatlon.

Mr. Sheehan told his friends that the sentiment of the organization. seemed to be that unless tho Republlcins nomi nated a Democrat they -would support Mayor Mo- Clellan and the Tammany ticket. Some of the Hearat men In the organization asked permission to go and ask Mr. Hear3t for a campaign sub scription, as an evidence of his good faith in the anti-Tammany movement. There was a storm of protest against thts, and Mr. Sheehan said that any district leader who did that would have to resign. The Sheehan men are through with th* Citizens Union, and unless they tlf up with the Republlccns they will support McClellan. NEXT MELTING IN TORONTO.

May 26.— Senator Ambler's bill, mak ing effective at once the provisions of the Raines bill which requires that hotels must comply with the building, health and flre laws of the city before liquor tax certificates are Issued, was vigorously attacked before Governor Hlg glns to-day by ex-Judge W. M. K. Olcott and J P. Smith, editor of "The Wine and Spirit Gazette," representing the liquor Interests of New-York. "The charges made against the so-called Baines hotels," Mr. Smith said, "apply with greater force to some of our first class hotels. This bill provides for the seizure of property without due process of law. It opens the door to blackmail, and we in New- York have had ex perience with blackmail." Mr. Olcott's objection to the bill was based on the declaration that it was unconstitutlonaL "Without notice or without permitting de fence." he said, "the excise officials may revoke a license and tear down partitions In places against which some irresponsible person has made complaint. You might Just aa well say the officials have the right to enter my home and tear down the wall behind my bed. Ihls bill is confiscation In its most odious form." Congressman Bennet replied to the criticisms made by the opponents of the bill. "Before June 30," he said. "25.000 young women will arrive here as immigrants, ignorant of our language. They will be met outside of the barge office by runners and taken to these places of vice. That is the reason for asking that this bill should be signed. We want to wipe out these illegal hotels. Liquor differs from other commodities. There is no inherent right to sell liquor. It ls an outlaw business and only exists by sufferance. The United States Supreme Court has so held." Governor Hlgglns said to-night that there would be no hearfitf on the mortgage tax bill. Edward Van Ingen. representing the allied real estate Interests, the Governor said, had Informed him that the time remaining was too short In which to arrange for such a hearing. VETERANS PROTEST.
