OLYMPIA WILL NOT ACCOMPANY
FLEET TO NORFOLK.
The virginian-P Pilot received the fol-
lowing dispatch from the Associated
Press at n late hour last night:
Washington, Sept. 2S.-Secretary
Long to-day replied to the application
of the citizens of Norfolk and vicinity
TO have the Olympia sent to Hampton
Roads in company with the North At
lantic squadron, declining to sanction
the proposition. The Olympia Is to go
out Of commission at the Boston navy
yard, so that the people OF Boston will
have an opportunity to see the famous
craft, though it may not be with the
great Admiral aboard, and he Is likely
to be detached in the course or n few
days. Being actually already detach-
ed from the command of the Asiatlc
station, he is in fact scarcely In need
of an order OF detachment, and may
leave for his home in Vermont at his
own pleasure.
1t is believed he will avail himself of
that privilege Immediately after his
visit to Washington next week.

FIRST ADMIRAL's FLAG.
DEWEY WILL Fly THE ENSIGN
OF FARRAGUT.

tBy Telegraph to Virginian-P ilot)
New York, Sept. 2S.-Commander
george w. Baird, who sailed with Far
ragut and Dewey in the West Gulf
Squadron in 1861, unrolied package
which he had carefully guarded all
the way to the Olympia, and displaying
taoed blue Admirals ensign, upon
which were stitched four white stars.
he said to Admiral Dewey:
Admiral, wish to present to you
the first Admirars flag ever broken
out In the navy of this country. The
grand old Admiral whose name and
memory all so revere. first hoisted this
ensign upon the good ship Hartford,
before New Orleans. and afterward up
on the Franklin. and since it came
down from that masthead 1t has never
been whiDped by the wind or worn by
the elements. You. the worthy sue
cessor OF that great Admiral, whose
tactics you so successfully followed a
short while ago, ! deem the proper per-
son for Farra quits mantle to fall upon"
This Tag was made by Quartermas' err
Knowles out of blue number flag
when Farragut was first made a Rear
Admiral Two white stars We're sew
ed on 1t. When Farragut was made an
Admiral two more white stars were
sewod on 1t. Farragut flew this flag
on tne hartford at New Orleans and
affcrward in the mediterranean
Admiral Dewey was deeply affected
and tears were In his eyes as he gazed
at the souvenir. 1t was several mo-
ments before he could find his voice.
Finally he snid:
"I'll fly it'll fly 1t at the masthead
III fly 1t in the parade-Tll fly It al

m'ral's flag this will be the flag I shall

that has occurred on the Olympia since

al ClucS TINS morning tile Whistles
of steam craft in the harbor gave
warning OF a fire. This was quickly fol-
loved by a bright light at Pinners
Point, and it was quickly learned thai
Lhe warehouse Of the Sonthern RAILWAY
was on fire.
Fire tugs proceeded rs quickly as
possible TO the scene of the fire, but
1t was seen that the immense structure
f60 feet long by 200 wide, and filled with
miscellaneous products for export, was
doomed.
The warehouse was quickly enveloped
in flames, and 1t was seen to be the
part of wisdom to prevent the flames
from communicating to the water tanks
and warehouse No. /. The fire tugs
kept up steady streams and succeeded
in this effort,
There was stored in No. Q q large
quantity of walnut and other timber,
cotton, cotton waste, about GOO hogs
heads of tobacco, and other products
consigned TO foreign ports. Nothing
was saved. The loss will be several
hundred thousand dollars. but Mr.. t..
T. Lamb. general agent of the Southern
railway, thinks 1t is fully covered by
insurance.
Two bargcs between warehouses No.
l and 2, and a two-masted schooner
anchored by No. 1, were rescued by
tugs. Although the heat was intense
and the great crowd which gathered
was to n great extent mastered by ex-
nitement, fortunately there was nc
casualties.
1t was quite awhile after the discov-
cry of the fire by the Waterman before
The arrival of the tugs. The first to
reach the scene and combat the flames
was the Primers Point, which was
followed by the S. A. L. tug, and the
Southern's tug Piedmont. All did
splendid service. and to their efforts is
due the saving Of warehouse No. and
the valuable property stored in it.
The blaze lit UP the towns of Primers
Point, Port Norfolk and most Norfolk
and the broad eXpanse OF water in
front. Hundreds of people were at
tracted to the Norfolk wharves and
spent about two hours in gazing across
the water on the scene.
AT 2:45 the fire was still raging and the
tugs City of Chester, Thomas Balm and
Piedmont, of the Southern; Commodore
Duryea, of the Old Dnminion: Hinton,
of the C. & o., and the l. J. Merritt of
the Merritt Wreclting Company. and
the /, Primers Point were actively at
work fighting the fire with strong
streams OF water and gave assurance
that It would be confined to warehouse
No e.
One barge was destroyed and another
partially burned. These were lying
along side the warehouse and could not
be saved.

and Ohio. went to Newport News and
