pany. of Philadelphia, is thinking of es
talblishing a a>lant with a capacity of
S,O0O,.0O feet in Richmond. It will be cn
__rg_d as soon as the demand permits.
Mr. Samuel B. Koons. one of the -.fiecrs
of Uhe company. has been in correspon
deneo with Mr. Albert F. Huntt, of this
city, one of the leading architects of the
South, on this subject. This company pro
poses to esta.blish some light branch
piant-. In explanation of the plans of
the company, Mr. Koons says:
"If any one will considcr the many uscs
for non-flammablc wood, hc wiii recognize
at once dts great possibilities and future.
The leading architects, builders and con?
tractors of the eountry, having hecn inter
viewed on this subject. all agree that if the
Ferrell process can treat wood chomically
at as low a cost as now ciaimed by the
Inventor, the future demand for its pro?
duct ls practically unlimited.
THE GROWING DEMAND.
"Fixe-Proof Wood will certainly be re?
quired. from this time forward. 011 all
governmfntal. State and municipaul work
such as postofiices, State houses, court
frouses. jcapStols. reformatorles, public

from the United S'.ates Government is
due here next week to make an investiga
tion of the Ferrell process relaiive to
Including fire-proof wood in the speciflca
tions of all governmental build'**.gs con
structed hereafter in this eountry.
"Pros-pective builders of factories, ware?
houses, dtpar'nv.nt storcs, storehouse-,
apaxtment. houses, hotels, offlco build
ingrs, churches. theatres, railway stations,
passenger coaches. steamships. vessels,
wharves, etc, must also realize the im
portance of including "treated wood" in
their specifications.
"The desire for perfect security and
immunity from fire -will lmpel those
building city and eountry re.idenc.s and
dwelHngs to use fire-proof wood.
TO MAKE A TEST.
"The New Y_rk City Building C.m
mission now requires the use of such
wood ln all tall building.-* above the fifth
story. The New York Fire-Proof Wood
Company is erocting one smal__"-_ou-e of
fire-proof -wood: and a dupiicate of un
treated wood to make a comparative test
before the Building Commission on Nov.

"No building is fire-proof unless the

in the country. In addition to Mr. Mc?

Secretary of War -Root. who is in Cuba,
and Senators Lodge and Wolcott.
"Raw, cloudy weather greeted the Presi?

condition did not dampen the ardor of a
patriotic crowd,which turned out in force to
grcet there-eleet Chief Executive. Presi?
dent McKiniey's reception was most enlhu
.?-iaiitic and much impbxtance was attached
to his address, as it was his first public
utterance since his recent victory.
Xumerous .speeches were made during
the evening, and those second in impor
tance to that of the President were de
liyered by Governor Roosevelt and Sena?
tors Lodge and Wolcott.
PK.ESIDENTS SPEECH.
?Mr. McKinley said:
'?Gentlemen of the Union League: An
after-dinner speech is to me always a
jdilllcuit performance; an attifr-eleetion
speech after a dinner is a still more dllfi
cult task, and I shall do little more than
make ackr.owiedgment to this patriotic
association for its unceasing loyalty to the
Government; for the earnest support it
has given to the present administration in
the trying years through which it has
passed, and express my sincere thanks for
the great honor this meeting and demon
stration bring to me. ********
"We must not withhold generous ac
knowledgment from that great body of our
citizens. who, belonging to another party,
powerfully assisted in the achievement of
the result which you celebrate to-night;
nor from the other large body, former
members of our own party, who, with
honesty of purpose, separated from us a
few years ago and have now returned
and are home again to stay. XOr is any
accounting for the victory either just or
accurate which leaves out of the -calcula
tion the almest unbroken column of labor
engaged In mebhanics and agriculture,
which rejected the false doctrine o? class
distinction as having no place in this
republic. *******
SOLEMX OCCASIOX".
"Xothing in government can be more im
pressive than a national election where
the peopie delegate their power and invest
their constitutional agents with authority
to execute their behests. The very char?
acter of the transaction clothes it with
solemniiy. lt is a serious business. Its
issues are always momentous. What a
lesson in seif-government it teaches. Six?
teen million voters, on the same day,
throughout every section of the United

"We cannot overestimate the great im
poriance and the far-reaching conse
quences of xhe -iectoral contest which
ended bii the 6th of Xovember. It has to
me no personal phase. It is not the
triumph of an individuals nor altogether of
a party, but an emphatic declaration of
the peopie of what they believe and would
have maintained in government.
UXQUESTIOXEID EXDOi'SEMEXT.
"A great variety of subjects were pre

The Schcdules.
The work of electrifying the Hollywood
branch of the Richmond Passenger and
PoVver Company is proceeding rapidly. A
lavge force ii nands is al ".vork and Uie
new rail _.._ been laid ready for concrel
ing as far as Cumberland Street on the
south bound track.
The company has arranged to comply
with the City Engineer's requirements,
and has ordered iron pole coiistruction for
the entire loop. This new construction
will be upon the route authorized by tiie
new franchise of the Passenger and Power
Company, as follows:
Sbuthwardly on Laurel to Cumberland
and ir m -thal point a single track loop
weslwcid'.y on Cumberland to Cherry
Street: thence southwardly on Cherry to
Albemarle; thence eaSt-wardly on Albe?
marle to Laurel; thence northwardly on
Laurel and eonnecting with the eastern
track at Cumberland Street.
This loop will be laid its entire length
witli ninety-five-pound grooved girder rail,
:n accordance with the requirements of the
City Engineer's department and similar
to the track now being laid by this com?
pany i'- other parts of the city. Rail being
in lengths of sixty feet, it is claimed
that the track will be more lasting, even,
and satisfactory than if shorter lengths
were used.
BETTER FACILITIES.
This track from Hollywood to Main
Street is being laid in accordance with
the requirements of a resolution offered _
by Alderman Whittet and passed by Uie
Street Committee at its last meeting.
with a view to securing to the peopie bet?
ter facili'ties on tho Main Street line.
lt is claimed by friend. of the Passen?
ger and Power Company that the placing
of this additional line from Hollywood
and Oregon Hill down Main Street all
the way to Fulton will give the public
better facilities not only through the busi?
ness and residence sec-tions of Main Street,
but 'Will enable a great many people who
reside in tho southwestern portion of the
city to reach the factories in the lower
part of Main Street and Fulton without
ehanging cars.
General Superintendent Calvin Whiteley,
Jr., of the Passenger and Power Com?
pany. who is also engineer for the com?
pany, stated yesterday that he had been
able to considerably increase the service
already on both of the main lines?Clay
Streetand Main Street?and that he was
now giving on Main Street a four minute
schedule, which is increased to a three
minute schedule during the busy hours
of the early morning and the afternoon.
He added that on the Clay Street line he
was giving a schedule ranging from four
to five minutes, according to the demands
of traffic.
Mr. Whiteley remarked that he was
very much embarrassed frequently by de
lays on tiie Main Sireet line. caused by
the stopping of cars at the railroad cross
ings in Fulton, and that as the public
probably did not understand this delay,
he had* no doubt his company was fre?
quently blamgd when it was not at fault,
as the cars are often stopped from five
to fifteen minutes. -These delays, added
to the ordinary delays incident to heavy
business on Main Street frequently cause
irregular intervals and consequent annoy
ance to the traveling public.
"It is impossible," said Mr. Whiteley,
"to avoid this entirely. but we are doing
the best we can and feel sure that when
the matter is brought to the attention
of the C. & O. ofiicials, they will aid us
by preventing the stoppage of our cars in
Fulton as far as possible."
Superintendent Whiteley, though he has
not recently resided in Richmond. was
some years ago?in 1SS1 and 1SS2?engaged
in the engineering department of the
Richmond and Danviile and York River
R R. lines, when lhe road was under the
control of Colonel Buford as president
and Colonel T. M. R. Talcoft as general
mtt-his'time Col. II. T. Douglass, now of
the New York Subway Commission, was
ohief engineer. When Col. Douglass was
appointed chief engineer of the Baltimore
and Ohio iri 'S3. Mr. Whiteley went with
him and was appointed resident engineer
of the Baltimore end of the road. then
building from Baltimore to Philadelphia.
Since that time he has had vaned c-\
perience in cable, steam and electric raii
.bading, having been engaged with street
railway lines in Baltimore. both cable
and electric. and on the Columbia and
Maryland Railroad between Baltimore and
Washington. having charge of the erec
tion of power houses for that line.
Mr. Whiteley was also engaged by the
city of Baltimore on its great topographi
cal survev. where his work was highly
eulogized "in the reports of the topographi
cal commission appointed by that city.
Mi.DE SEABOARD SUR-E-.
About three years ago Mr. Whittley was
sent here. by New York capita ists, to
make a survcy and locare for the road
through the city of Richmond. which has
recently been built by the Seaboard Air
Line. This work was quietly done, and his
connection with it was not generally
kriown at the time. but the road has been
built practieally along his Mn-."..**.itl. ^e

torv, long delayed, perched upon the blue
bann'r of oid Yale to-day, when the foot
bai team of the Xew Havcn Unlversity
smothered the crimson ot' fair Harvard in
the annual football contest, played on
Yale field. For the vfirst time since 1S04
Yaie scored a victory over Harvard, and
to-day she took sweet rcvenge for Har?
vard's merciless performance in Xew
Haven two years ago, when the crimson
rejoiced over the blue by the score of IT
to 0.
To-day Yale administered to Harvard a
Waterioo to the tune of 2S to 0. It was
Yale from the tirst kick off. and the war
riors of the blue ieemed bent on punishing
Harvard to the limit.
In the li.rst half Yale scored two toucli
downs. ln the second half she repeated
this performance, and in addtion to tear
ing Harvard to pieees for two touchdowns,
?Sharpe, the Yaie half back. lined a field
goal from tlie 25-yard line.
A KliLLFXG- PACE.
The second half -was a killing one for
Captain Daly's men, and it was not long
before they began to give way before the
tir.precedented onslaught of the Yale men.
Burnett had succeeded Lee just before the
first half ended shortiy after the kick
off for the second period t'ne crimson sup
porters were thrown into a panic, when
Daly, who had bera limping, went to the
side lines, and Harvard had lost her cap?
tain.
In rapid sucession Harvard's men stir
rendered, and before the game was over,
the crimson team had played twenty men.
The only Yale man to leave was Oleott,
the center, who, with five minutes to play.
had sustained a biow on the head, and
Holt took his place. The scoring of the
second half was of the spectacular order.
.Yale's goal was never in danger, Har?
vard not e-jfigl rsaching a point nearer
t Ti -1 ii i her -Y;"?j?: o'>-ya rd line. Throughout
tlie game Yale letained possession of .'he
'ball three-quarters of the time, and when
it fell to Harvard's lot, on irifrequent oc
casions, to try an advance, her line plays
and end formations were thrown back.
The expexts at the best points of obser
vation ascribed the victory io Yale's mag?
niiicent team work, and the superb physi?
cal condition of her men.

minutes after it was made on the field.
The news of Virginia's two touchdowns
and goals before the middle of the second

Detail,
(From Staff Correspondent.)
NORFOLK, VA., Nov. *_1.-Virginia de?
feated North Carolina here this afternoon
bv a score of 17 to 0. The game was piayed
at the Baseball Park, and was witnessed
bv five thousand people. To-night Nor?
folk helongs to Virginia. and they are
in full possession of their property.
The ?amc was one .of intense interest
from start to finish and was replete with
brillian* plays made by both elevens. This
was the first time in two years these
teams '.a.ve met. so the game whieh de
cides the championship of the South was
one in which there was great interest,
ancl had been discussed in football circles
for weeks past. It awoke the old rivalry
which has exLsted between thiT two insti?
tutions ever since tho game has been
piayed by them, and yesterday i't seemeel
to have been aroused with new vigor from
its sleep, ancl burst on the citizens of Nor?
folk in a storm of wild enthusiasm, which
suept all before it.
Business was in a measure suspended,
and from every point come tho college
yells. All. old and young alike, joined in,
and the day was a novel experience for
the citizens of Norfolk, who had never
before entertained 'Varsity elevens and
their followers.
The teanvs were quartered at the Monti?
ceilo. -which. upon their arrival, became
football headquarters. That hostelry was
thronged with "rooters," and rang with
yells and college songs.
The Stonewall Band, of Staunton, ac
companied the Virg'nia team, and in the
cor.tinuous impromptu programme running
day and night in the hotel lobby, took a
leading part.
Money was plenty. and above all could
be heard the cry "Carolina money," "Vir?
ginia coin." Betting ran very irregular,
some giving odds on Virginia and others
on North Carolina.
Towards the beginning of the game. it
became more even, and many bets at
even money were placed.
Every train ancl boat coming into Nor?
folk to-day brought crowds. and there
were fully two thousand visitors in town
before 2 o'ciock, when the march towards
the field began. The train from Rich?
mond and Petersburg arrived a little after
11 o'ciock, with e\ght coaches filled with
wearers of the Orange and Blue, who
soon made known their presence in the
city.
ln the balconies at the Monticeilo were
gathered crcwds of beautiful girls. who
bore the flags and wore the colors of their
favorite elevens. The orange and blue of
Virginia predominated here. but in the
.'?urging mass below there were as many
backers of Carolina as of Virginia.
THOUSANDS SAW IT.
Long before the game began everything
and everybody seemed to jbe on the move
toward the lield, street-cars were scarce.
and those operating were crowded to =uffo
cation. Thousands walked, and hundreds
of others less energetic. rode in cabs,
wsKgons ar.d carts. In short, "any old
thing with wheeis" was pressed into ser?
vice, and went to form a most motiey
caravan.
The grandstand, b!eaer!-rs and side
lines soon began to take on life. ancl by the
time the game was begun fully five thou?
sand persons surrounded the tield. The
scene was one imposing. Frags, ribbons,
canes and hat., were in the air. A gian.ee
over the side-lines reminded one of a tem

QUEBEC, QUE, November 24.?News
reached here early this morning that the
steamer St. Olaf, which has been coasting
'between this port and l'oint Aux, Esqui
maux, in the l.o-xez. St. Lawrence. for the
last two years, had become a total wreck
off Seven Islands and that her crew was
entirely lost.
Captain Lemister, in command of the
striamer, and several of his officers and
crew belonged to this city.
The lirst dispatch from Seven Islands
brought but very meagre news, and it was
only late in the afternoon that Messrs. A.
Frazer and Company, owners of the
steamer, wero informed ot the extent of
the dlsaster. Besides the nineteen men of
the steamer's crew. it was learned that
seven passengers had also perished.
IRON STEAMER.
The St. Olaf was an iron steamer of S'V,
tons and was built on the Clyde at Port
Glasgow, in 1SS2. She was valtied at
abou: *UO,000 and insured f<>r about KO.flOfr.
Before coming to this port she ran be?
tween Fictou and Magdalen island, aud
was chartered by Ressrs. Frazor and
Company to replace the steamship Otter,
wrecked on her last trip to Quebec two
years ago. The St. Olaf left here on
Sunday morning last. on hir last trip to
E.-(|u:maux Foint. carrying government
mails. passengers and a large cargo. All
apparently went well on the way down
a:id the steamer left immediately on her
return trip to this port.
The last news heard of the St. Olaf u**<
to this morning was that she had' left
?Sheklrake on Wednesday afternoon and
shortly after this the signal station dis?
patch reported rough weather with gales
of wlnd and snow, and it is supposed that
during one Of these gales the St. Olaf ran
ashore on one of the rocks at the entrance
of th. Seven Islands. as the dispatch
states that she was wrecked on Boule
Island.
Captain L---ma:stre. was well ana favor
ably known as a careful and skillful coast
navigator. and has beea a res':dent ot
this citv for some years.
TIIE PASSENGERS.
The passengers were: Louis Gagne. of
Pentecost, on his waty to Quebec to s**end
the winter with hisi brothers: Joseph
Bacon. Clarence Bon. Jeremine Chinle,
Michael Mahar. Sheldrake: Xapolean
Beaudin, St. John's R'ver. and Mi.-s Marie
Page. Ttiunder R'ver.
The body of a woman has been found.
As soon as the news ot the wreck
reached Seven Islands a seartlhlng party
went out to attempt to rescue any of the
sh'pwrecked peopie if possible. but this
was impossible, as every one aboard the
vessel seems to have been lost.
Ntws has been received here to-night
that the vessel is still lying on the. rock
and at low t:de two feet of her hu'l can
ba seen out of water. The res-'dents of
Seven Islands are searching the shores for
bodies, but have not returned un to S
o'cloek th's evening.
Th* p'.ace where the steamer was
wrecked is about s;e\en miles off Seven
Islands, and about 3C0 miies from this
port._
