Mr.. Mann added: ii am SURPRISED TO
learn that the assassin in this case is n
foreigner. All the famous assassins 1 have
heard of in America have been Americans,
including tho men who killed Presidents
Lincoln and Garfield. the Noted Fisk and
the man who recently attempted 10 KILL
Sage. The American record on the sab
ject OF assassiua alton il an awful one. Two
Presidents have been assassinated within
a little more than quarter of century.
whereas IL Is more than four hundred years
since the assassination of ruler OF France.
Even despotic Russia has only seen two
rulers assassinated in the present century,
and Mexico. the neighDor of the United
states, has not. | believe, seen single
ruler die by the assassins hand. With
such a record we Britons are not much
surprised as we would otherwise be at this
latest attempt at assassination. The sur
prise is that IN this instance a foreigner is
the assassin"
wonId feel inclined to condemn such n
crime as the shooting of Mr.. Frick most

The Times says: Bergman overstepped
the line, but his crime differs in degree
from deeds of lawlessness and violence
which not many strike leaders venture
heartily to discourage, and which some
even openly advocate and defend. Mr..
Carnegies position Is singular. The
avowed champion of trades unions, he now
finds himself In almost ruinous conflict
with the representatives Of his views. He
has been compelled to modify his praise
of unionism. OR are we To assume that the
doctrine IS true in Glasgow, but not in the
United States. or that lt ceases TO be APP
plicable the moment Mr.. Carnegie's inter-

A reporter yesterday drove from Kin
gusse TO RannOch Lodge. onLoch RannOch,
Scotland, Mr.. Carnesie's residence, and
made repeated efforts to obtain an inter
view, but his mission proved fruitlcss. This
morning. however. he was moro successful,
and was finally admitted to Mr. Carnegie's
presence. The representative opened the
interview by saying to Mr.. Carnage: In
view of the events of Saturday last at
Homestead, / have come to ask again for an
expression OF your opinion of the outcome
of the homestead troubles"
At first Mr.. Carnegie positively refused
to discuss any phase of the situation, bnt
finally said: well. | authorize you to
attended to the business for the past three
years. but / have implicit confidence in
those who are managing the mills. Fur
Their than that have nothing to say"
1t is known that MIR. Carnegie ia greatly
distressed by the attack of Bergman upon
Mr. Frick, and that he daily receives MANY
cable dispatches giving the fullest particu-
lars of his condition. 1t Is very evident
that Mr.. Carnegie has no intention of re-
turning to America at present.
