CARNEGIE INTERVIEWED.
He Opposes Chamberlain and tho Fish
cries Treaty.

LONDON, June IL.
Carnegie was interviewed at York today.
He said that Blaine could be President any
day if he liked. Carnegie repudiated Cham
berlain's assertion that the Americans didn't
favor Gladstone's Irish policy. He expressed
surprise that Sir William Vernon Harcourt
or Mr.. Morley had not challenged Chamber
lam in the House of Commons to name the
two prominent Americans who didn't favor
that policy.
The Americans, said Carnegie, were not
disposed TO deal with Lord Salisbury, who
had been a bitter enemy of the republic when
it was combating with slavery. He d.
clared that the fisheries treaty would never
be ratified.
