DRAFT ON NIAGARA.
Another Big Electrical Power Plant
to Be Installed.

New York, Jan 2S.-Another great
step in the utilization of Niagara power
is announced by The Electrical World
and Engineer. On the American side
of the falls the Niagara Falls Power
company has long had in operation
eleven dynamoS, each driven by its own
turbine and developing 5000 horse
first one was recently completed and
within the last year orders were given
for eleven more water wheels and gen
orators. When these are installed the
company will be able to supply 10000
horse power in the form of electricity.
on the Canadian side. The Electrical
World and Engineer News says that
contracts have just been placed with
the General Electric company for the
construction of three 10000 horse power
generators for the new plant, whose
ultimate capacity, it is estimated, will
probably reach 100000 horse power.
These negotiations have been conducted
through the Canadian Niagara Power
company, which had the original char
ter for the enterprise, but whose rights
have been acquired by the American
company. These dynamos will be sit
uated, like those of the Niagara Falls
Power company, at the level of the sur
face of the earth while the turbines
meath. Vertical shafts over 100 feet long
will connect the water wheels with the
generators. 1t is asserted that these
dynamos will be the largest ever built.
The closest approach to them is made
by those being installed in the power
house of the Manhattan Elevated Rail
way company of this city. The latter
have nominal capacity of 5000 horse
power but are designed to develop 25 or
so per cent more in an emergency.

sessmeut

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 28.-The United
Mine Workers have taken what is re-
garded by many of the delegates as the
most important action of the convention
when 1t adopted a resolution from Indiana
district No. IL, providing thats the con-
vention should levy an assessment on all
the members of the organization sufficient
for the purpose of carrying to a speedy
and successful termination all strikes now
engaged in by the entire organization. A
resolution leaving the amount OF the as
Sessment to be determined by the national

discussion some of the members
thought the board should not be made to
assume the responsibility.
Delegate Reese of Iowa then moved that
the board be instructed to report to this
convention. This was concurred in
Before the noon adjournment President
Mitchell, who is head of the executive
board, had an understanding with the
convention that the levy was to cover only
such strikes as have the Endorsement OF
the national board
1t is the purpose of the miners to fight
the operators to the end in all these
strikes. as the principle of whether or not

De- pew and James H. Hyde, son of the late president of the Equitable Life Insur- ance society.

HARVARD'S WORK IS
 VERY DISCOURACINC-
Defeated Dartsmoutn, But Were Out played at Every Point Until Near
 the End of the Game.

Cambridge, Mass, November 15.-Har- yard defeated Dartsmouth IS to 6 this afternoon in a game which from liar yard standpoint was discouraging. Up to the last ten minutes Harvard was ab- solutely outplayed in every way, being weak on the defensive and without con certed offense.
 In this latter respect the lack of spirit in the backs was noticeable. Graydon, whose hurdling and plunging have been features of other games, seemed to make no effort to advance the ball. In the last few minutes of play with the gloom so deep that the spectators could scarcely distinguish the players, Harvard woke up and made two touchdowns, Darth- mouths men being too badly used up to make resistance. Barnard for Harvard missed two goals, one from in front of the goal posts.
 Harvard was without the services of the two Marshals, Carl the quarter back being at Princeton, and the other, Andy left guard, being excusued from playing against his old college chums.

CARLISLE INDIANS
 BEAT THE OUAKERS
Not Only Defeated the PaIefaces, But Prevented Them From Scoring.
 Two Good Opportunities Lost.

Philadelphia, November 15.-Much to the surprise of their supporters the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania football eleven was defeated by the Carlisle Indians. To rem der the defeat more humiliating, the In- dians prevented Pennsylvania from scoring, the final score being to 0. Penn sylvanias failure to cross Carlisle's goal lIne, was due principally to Torry. The ball had been worked down the field un- til it rested within a foot of the Indians goal. The pigskin was passed to Torry who fumbled and the Indians immediately kicked it out of danger. At another time Bennett tried for goal from the 20-yard line, but the ball fell short. These two chances occurred in the first half and Pennsylvania did not get another appor- tunity to score.

Nashville, Tenn. November 15.-In a clean, hard-fought game on Normal field today, the football eleven from the Uni versity of Texas defeated the University of Nashville by score of Il to D. Honors were about evenly divided, Texas having the best of the play in the first half, while in the last half Nashville played all around the Texans. Fumbling lost Nash vile the game
 By a tumble on her own ten-yard line she presented to Texas her first touch- down, and twice Nashville players carried the ball from the center of the field only to lose it by a costly tumble on the nve- yard fine. Texas made all of her score Tn the first half. Both sides frequenuy re- sort cd to kicking, but punters were about evenly matched. The Texas men wore themselves out by continuous bucking of the line.
