have any sort of n building they wanted
lit they wanted It long enough to make It
paying Investment.
Tacit Agreement lleachetl.
The question was discussed by tho Inter
,stcd parties and while no contract was
signed It was tacitly understood that a

Certain preliminaries can bo arranged.
If tho plans aro carried out Mr. Ilor will
demolish tho building alxty-slx foot square at
tho oorner of Sixteenth and Howard streets
and oroot a llroproof building not less than
eight stories high and probably ton stories,

material nnd all walls will bo protected
In Hko manner.
Speaking ofitho matter Saturday ovenlng

'assured mo that tbey would locate In

tho Kngllsh press, their reception by Presi

the mission will be an utter failure.
Tho Irish situation Is causing Intense un
easiness to tho Urltlsh government, as the
United Irish league Is Just as potent ns
the Uind leaguo was In Its greatest days
Hut there is no crlmo to afford a pretext
for enforcing tho coercion net, tho people
having taken the ndvlec of tliclr leaders to
avoid anything of that kind.
In Great Hrllaln, too, Iho league has Just
demonstrated Its strength nt Dcwsbury,
where an Important parliamentary election
is pending and tho Irish voto Is consider
able. Tho local branch of. (he Ichruo ob'

Princess Adolph de Wrede, n Hungarian
woman married to a Havnrlan prince, made
her debut on the London concert platform
In Queen's hnll this week. Her volco Is of
uneven quality, but she uses It with con
sldcrnblc tnstc. Her singing of four songs
by Schumann was altogether charming.
The princess Is fascinating personally. Slu
Is separated from her husband, who ap
pears to have treated her harshly. She Is
engaged for a tour of tho United States,

President Hoosevelt, writing on "Pollll
cal Integrity," in the new Liberal Hcvlew,
lakes on tho whole a hopeful view, saying:
"Wo havo lived 1.900 years In the Christian
era and rs yet wo havo to make progress
step by step with Infinite pains nnd Infinite
labor. In spite of halting and shortcom
ings wo havo been striving onward and up
ward. And as wo have made progress In
the past, so shall we mnko progress In the
future. You will not find nny royal road
In patent legislation or In curious schemes
by which everybody gets virtuous nud
happy. Not a bit of It.
"We nro going ahead, I trust, n llttlo
faster than In tho past, but only n little
faster. We hope to keep going forward,
dui ny slops, not by bounds. Wo must
keep our eyes on the stars, but wo must

Humphrey Ward's unqualified acceptance
In the Times of J. Plcrpont Morgan's
"Lost Duchess" as a genuine Gainsborough
has drawn n severe retort from a no less
distinguished art critic than tho one In the

golug rather far. The painting of the

something so like bis touch that It it )

these heavy, clumsily drawn eyes, this
wooden, unmodulated cheek nnd hard, Insen

strokes at ono oorner, which seem to have
no object except as a caricatured reminis

many signatures of tho man, whoever ha

LONDON, Nov. 30. (Now York World
Cablegram Special Tolcgram.) Mrs. Lang
try Is among the victims of vaccination,
which Is now tho voguo among tho fash
ionable women. The virus flew to her
throat, producing ocuto Inflammation of tho
vocal chords, which still prevents her act
ing. Ada Iteeve, now playing In "Santos,"
was vaccinated six months ago while trav
eling In Australia, but her arm Is still
bad, despite ovory expedient.
The pretty bow of red ribbon, indicating
recent Inoculation, is now seen on the
arm of every third woman In the West
End, as Bmallpox is slowly but steadily
Increasing its hold, both In numbers and
area affected.
The spread of this pestilence Is at
tributes to the lax Ideas about vaccination,
caused by the legislation ndopted by the
present government three years ago, when
the system of unlversnl compulsion was
modified, exempting the children of any
parent who declared beforo a magistrate
that he or she "conscientiously objected"
to vaccination. In districts where the ex

From the moment that President Roose

phitheater until half nn hour after the
timekeeper had blown his whistle announc
ing the cessation of hostilities there was
a continuous uproar, which has probably
never taken plane on any foot ball field In
the country. Even the presldont and sev
eral members of his cabinet, worked up to
a nervous pitch by tho excitement, left
their seats In tho private box met apart for
their occupation and took positions In the
sldo-llno benches, which are generally used
for substitute players nnd coaches. There
wns not n seat unoccupied and hundreds
stood nrousd the field through tho entire

who acquiesced In whnt seems to be tho
sentiment of the old members nnd of the
country, I want to express my grateful
thanks.
Tho duties beforo us In thlts congress will
bo onerous onoa. Tho republican party
never etunds still, but keep.i at work. Tho
last congress, which started In with thir
teen, majority, has been so far approved
that tli rcpubllcitii party bus iianlri been
put In control, stnrtlpg In with thlrty-nlno
majority. This shows the appreciation ot
tbe American people nnd Is u tribute to
the wisdom of tlio last congress.
Grave Prohlem Alienil.
We nre confronted now with work which
will affect the minds of the people nt tho
elections next year. Kvery republican will
be upon his mettle. Wc will expect tho
Bnmo from the opposition. Thero Is always
more activity at every congress preceding
a congressional election thnn nt nny other
time. Wo will require nil of the wisdom
we possess and nil of the patriotism, for
wo have, a grent danger to confront lis
continually, nnd that Is tho surplus In the
ireuNiiry. i imucni to my colleagues, re
publicans, to keep In mind thnt this Is a
danger and If wo can bo wlso In tho pres
onco of thnt danger we will find approval
from tho American neotilo. The Amerlrmi
peoplo do not expect any niggardliness from
tne ircaime.ni or tne mnucrs tnat they
rcoulre. I do not counsel that, but I enim-
sel thnt conservative consideration of every
question which snouiii nc ouserveu at till
times without referenco to tho $100,000,000
that we nro soon to have.
Pre rnlthfiil Atteiiilnnce.
Ono thing more. In the lust crmicrwu.
with our smaller majority nt a caucus llko
tins, i nppeuieu to tno members to be on
hand at tho sessions of the house. Tim
uiiin who is most faithful In his phico dur
ing the sessions will llnd In tho long run
thut his constituents will be most fulthful
to lilni. nnd do not think thut with thn
larger majority wo can afford to bo absent
from our places. I don't iiBk for caucus ex
pressions on this subject, hut 1 nppeat to
every member present that this Is impor-
inni to eiicn mcmoer or win House. The
leopie or mo country navo put the repub

ror worn nna ror tne constant presence of
tho membors of tho republican party. Ho

SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. r,ii.--The ferry
boats Sausallto niul San Rnfnel collided
tuulght In it dense fog and Snn ltnfncl snnV
In botweeu ten and fifteen minutes. It li
thought from late reports that no mor
than twenty persons wero drowned, al
though San Rafael carried between 150 nnd
I!00 pnwengcrs. Snutullto was not serlouslj
Injured nnd nfter rescuing nil tho pa.
sengers of tho San Rafael that It could,
proceeded lo San Francisco under Its own
steam.
Tho boats belonged to the San Frnncln'o
i- North Piiclllc Railway company. They
piled between San Francisco and Sausallto,
n suburb ncross the bay In Marin county.
At Sniisalltn u train connects for Hon
valley and San Rafael, whero ninny San
Franclfco business men make their summer
and winter homes.
San Rafael lett San Francisco nt 6:15,
with between 150 and 00 rnsscngero. There
bad bten a dcusu fog on the bay nil day
long end townrd ovenlng It seemed to
thicken. Captnln McKenslo ot San Rnfnel
sent his ship nlong under n slow bell. He
wns soniewhero nenr Aleittrns Istnnd when
Sausallto crushed Into Snn Rnfnel.
Scare Aboard Sausiillto.
Thero were few pnmengcrs on Sausallto.
but they wero budly scared nud tor n few
moments it looked ns If both ships went
going down. When It was scon that Sau
sallto was not badly Injured It stood by Snn
Rafael, nnd officers, crow nud passengers
etignged In tho rescue ot tho tinfortunntn
pnsscngers of tho sinking vcesol. Roth Milps
wero sldowhcelers nnd ordinarily cnrrled
many huudred passengers. Fortunately, this
wns the winter sensou nnd tho last trip, so
thero wore not so ninny passengers as usual.
Mnrln county, from Sauenllto to San
Rafael, a dlstnnco of twenty miles. Is
lined with homes of wealthy ponple. Din ¬
ing tho summer tho ferryboat traffic 1
heavy, but In the winter It lightens nnd
thero nro comparatively fow peoplo whe
travel on Iho bo.tts.
The news of tho dUaster did not rencb
tho city until neurly 0 p. m but It then
spread with great rapidity. There was in
tense excitement at thn opera house, whore
an Immense crowd was listening to Calvi
In "Carmen,"
MKlit of Anxiety.
Muny people loft the houso nnd rushed
to tho newspaper offices to ohtaln infor
mation about friends nnd relatives who
might havo been on board ono of tho ves
sels. Never ha tho fog been thicker In
San Francisco and on the bay thnn tonight.
It was a day nnd night of nnxloty. In ths
cnrly hours thn fog camo up "ns thick at
mush." nnd tonight It wns nlmost Impos
sible to sco n boat's length. Tho etcam
schooner Arctic ran down tho French bark
Edmond Uoslnnd in tho enrly morning
hours, nnd Knclnal and Albatross camo
together In tho fog. Many a vessel had a
narrow escape nnd tho fog signals wero
blowing In nil directions.
Mojt of tho ferry stenmcrn escaped, but
ono or two of them got into trouble, Tlbu-
ron hnd to mnko n second-nttnmpt at Its
first Inndlng. KnclnnI was nearly half an
hour reaching IU slip nnd Piedmont had a
similar experience. Oakland and Snn
Rafael camo near colliding when they
reached this city nt G p. m. Rnch boat
missed Its slip, one going too high nnd tho
other too low.
Caiilalu Stn Till l.at.
Tho Klmbnll Steamship company's Aretle
arrived from Nomo nnd will probnbly dock
In tho morning. On its wny down the coast
It stoppod nt Astoria nnd nfter leaving
tho Columbia river was caught In thn
southeaster and had a rough experience.
Making port In tho fog. Captain HrlcUson
decided that It was bettor to come to an
chor. Arctlo was accordingly hove to and
tho anchor dropped. AVhen It Hwung with
tho tide, however. It was right under tho
quartor of tho French bar Kdmond Ros
land. Tho lattor wns raked and Arctic
suffered considerably nbout Its upper works
nnd rigging, hut nsldn from thnt It Is as
sound as a dollar. Rosland may havo to
be sent to dock tor an overhauling.
Captain McKonr.Io of San Rafael was the
last one to leave tho ship. An It was going
down ho seized a ropo flung from Sausallto
and was pulled on board. Ho thinks that
most of his passengers wore saved, as
many of them Jumped to Sausallto and
others wont on tho gungplank run between
thn two ships. Thn list of thoso lost will
probably not bo obtalnoblo tonight.
lleiiorl Are CoullliM Int.
Reports ns to tho number of lives lost
aro conflicting nnd exaggerated, some esti
mates running as high nn fifty. Snn Ra
fael was on Its way from this city to San
Rafael nnd had, It Is estimated, from 160
to 200 pnsiongcrs. San Rafael wns struck
amidships nnd sank almost Immediately.
Largo numbers of tho passengers were res
cued by ropes from Alcntras Island.
James Mnoro of Rofs Valloy, an emplyo
of tho rfovada bank, was n passenger on
San Rafaol. To tho Associated Press lr
porter he said;
"Thoro was the usual Saturday night
crowd on San Rafael when It left at Q:3n
p. m. for Saueallto. Thero was a denes
fog and Captain McKonslo of Snn Rafaol
sent tho ship along under ft slow boll. Wo
wero ubout half way botween Iimbard
stroot wharf and Alcatras Island when
Sausallto crushed into us. I was smoking
a clgnr on tho forward deck nf San Rafael
and It seemed to inn that Sausallto Uniok
us just ubout amidships.

"There was a lerrlfllc. orafch and Imme
diately thero was wild confusion. Men,
women und children rushed for life pre
servers, Thoro wero from 150 to 200 peo
ple on board Snn Rnfael, tho usual Satur
day night crowds. Some ot them Jumped
overboard as noon as tbe steamers collided,
