Carnegie Says Granite Must BE Used in the
Library Building.

As stated in The DISPATCH some time
ago il is almost certain that Andrew Car
negie's gift TO the city of Pittsburg for the
building of a free library will be greatly in
creased before the building is erected. Mr..
Carnegie is not in anv way interfering with
the committee in making the selection from
the plans offered, but he has intimated that
he wants the building to be of granite, and
as that cannot be done for 500, 900 the do
nation will likely be increased. The
plans, as offered, provide for the
use Of sandstone. Granite costs a
great deal more and it would be impossi-
be to use il for the erection of building on
the scale intended with the money on hand.
Recently while examining the plans, Mr.
Carnegie expressed satisfaction with the de-
signs with the exception that he wanted the
building material to be granite When
told that the architects all joined for sand
stone on account of i being cheaper, he re-
marked that enough money would have to be
scraped together some way to have granite
used. His preference for the latter material
is well known and it is probable that after
the selection of a plan is made, formal
offer viii be made

HUNTERS OF HUMAN HEADS.
Canuibalism stiu Prevails in the Solomon

Among the passengers that arrived by
the steamer Mariposa Saturday last Was
gentleman named Watson. Mr.. Watson Is
now en- route for England, and has been
for many years trading among the South
Sea Islands for cOpra, pearl shells ana other
commodities. He told some strange stories
10 Chronicle reporter yesterday about head
hunting and cannbalsm that still prevail
in the solomon Islands.

stated that some years ago trader had been
killed by them. and man-Of-war had APP
pesred, exacting a heavy fine Of pigs and
other things. The war vessel had been
piloted by a white man. and the natives had
resolved to Kill the pilot, and, failing TO kill
him, they intended to take the life OF the
first white man on whom they could lay
their hands. | found out that the natives
were we'll armed, and left the place.
"At the island of Rubiana similar condi-
tions prevail While we were at Bambat-
tan we had a narrow escape. Among the
natives who came on board were tive
chiefs. They finished trading, and noticed
that they kept close to the rudder trunk OF
the vessel. discovered a canoe under the
stern, with natives passing up axes, and,
as there were over seventy natives ON
board the ship, they fully INTENDED TO cap

At Banletta Mr.. Watson was present
when the captain OF the war ship Diamond
visited the islands. six persons landed,
and there were over fifty natives in am

American Wool Consumption.

The people of the United States con-
sumo annually about 6oo,ooo,ooo
pounds of wool on the unwashed basis,
of which our Al, 200, 900 sheep pro-
duce about 264, 100000 pounds, and
the residue, about 336, 100000
pounds, are imported from foreign
countries in the form of wool and
wooden goods. We need about &c.
900, 900 more sheep in this country to
supply the needed amount OF wool.
The reason We do not have the proper
number of sheep is that Australia and
South America each have about 115,-
100000 sheep, besides millions in
other countries, and labor there is so
cheap and pasturage for sheep so
abundant in vast prairies, that foreign
flock owners can produce wool and
sell it in this country at less price
than our woolgrowers can, and thus
the largest part of our supplies OF wool
are imported from foreign countries.
Ii we had protective tariff law, which
would require foreigners to pay for the
privilege OF importing foreign wool, the
full difference between the cost of pro-
ducing wool in other countries and
shipping it here, and the larger cost OF
producing it here, that would shut
out the foreign woods and enable our
woolgrowers to increase their fiocks
and supply all the needed wools.-
