PITTSBURGH, Pa, Nov. 23.-AndreW
Carnegie, the steel king, who has been
in the city for ten days inspecting his
great plants, returned to New York to-
night. Before leaving he talked at con-
siderable length on the business out
look. In the course Of the interview he
said: "rhls is not. in my opinion. the
time when any valuable forecast can be
made. Itis reported we are to have a
sensational presidential message look
ing to change in our currency system.
No matter whether the scheme would
be better than that which we have.
still waters would be troubled and busi-
ness must suffer- You know that II
you wish to rebuild your house and
live in it, no matter how much you are
going to improve It land all changes
are not Improvements by any means).
you cannot enjoy undisturbed repose,
neither can nation.
..This 10 one objection to tinkering at
short intervals with any policy, tar III
or currency. Il Is bad enough with the
tariff, but It Is highly dangerous when
the money and currency of nation
are tam pered with. These are the blood
Of the whole system-industria!, agri-
cultural, commercial, financial. The
richest man down to the bootblack on
the corner Is vitality affected by change
In money. ! did my best to impress
upon the powers that be, after the July
panic OF '93, that the nation rs a patient
was not in q position to undergo q
surgical operation. and had hopes
that President Clevelend's usual good
sense would lead him to postpone his
tariff changes until the general health
OF the patient VISA good at .leasti this
advice was not followed.
"rhe patient had q great shock, the
greatest shock that the United States
has ever had, tho civil war excepted,
and it is in my opinion mistake to
look for speedy recovery. No matter
what improvements can be made in our
financial system, this is no time for
change. I do not believe any decided
improvement can be made in the sys-
tenn; it has worked splendidly, and one
feature. which is to agitators an objec-
ton, Is really one OF its decided ad-
yantages, it tends to keep wild specula-
ton within bounds. as 1t does not ex-
pand to suit speculative balloonish gen.
tlemen who cannot get money for the
asking, only because they have nothing
upon which prudent bankers wish to
take the risk Of lending.
President Cleveland has been as
sound upon money as President Harri-
son was. and can scarcely believe that
he meditates a message that must tenn.
porarily derange the business OF the
country, as this new policy must do.
General Grant's words are to-day full of
wisdom: Lot us have peace
1.-The action Of Congress is also an
important factor. II the country is to
be excited by threatened changes in
the tariff, no matter II these changes
would be ultimately beneficial. which OF
course don't believe they would be,
still they would disturb the confidence
not only Of the people at home. but OF
the capitalists abroad, both. of which
are essential elements to the return OF
prosperity, therefore you see, gentle-
men, we must wait until the turn of the
year before any reasonable opinion can
be formed"

Barnes and several OF his men kept
guard at tho hotel until all danger Of
trouble had passed last night, A crowd
Of angry citizens hung about the place
until late hour muLLeriug threats
against Anderson. the witness who gave
revolving testimony in Tho Hirshheld
case.
To-day Judge Mcconnell issued an
order for his protection, and gave warn
ing in court that any one doing him
violence would be given the full penalty
Of the law. Anderson is still hiding.
The rumor that Aaron Hirshtleld would
be put on tho stand to testify in his own
behalf drew great crowd 20 tho court
room to-day. Hirshfleld was kept on
the stand oil day.
He testified to having been over
since the panic of 1893, and that he
could not concentrate his thoughts
upon any oae subject, He told OF the
defendants visiting him at the bank,
having check cashed, aud asking him
to obtain a situation for her sister as
stenographer, and said she next called
at his rooms over tho bank on Sunday
and asked about the situation. She
stayed about an hour aud ut
that time he became criminally
intimate with her. She frequently
visited him after that time. He paid
her from $1,000 to $1,000 during six
months time. She charged him with
being the father Of her unborn child.

would do, aud one night two men
jumped out OF an alley on side street,
and told him that they would kill him
unless he married thegirl. He agreed
to do SO and afterwards fulfilled his
promise. They made an agreement Of
settlement At that time, but he lost his
pockeibook during that trip, and it con-
tanned this paper among other things.
The cross-examination By Colonel
Nolan continued all the afternoon. and
his sarcastic questions so delighted the
spectators that the court frequently had
TO rap for order. Numerous letters and
telegrams from thu witness to Miss Ho-
gan we're shown by the defense. Hirsh-
field admitted tho authorship OF them,
but claimed they were sent to appease
the young lady and prevent exposure.
1t was brought out that during the
first visit to Chicago Mrs. L. II. Hirsh-
field had locked Miss Hogan in her
Mrs. Hirshfeld's) room and slept with
the key under her pillow, presumably
te prevent her and Hlrshfeld from get
ting married. Witness said the reason
he had registered Miss Hogan aa his
wife at Chicago was that his mind was
too weak to resist when she requested
II. Hirshfeld gave his testimony in a
husky voice. He was nervous and per-
spired freely. During the entire day
Mrs. Hirshfield scarcely moved her
eyes from his face and the steady gaze
ANNOYED him. Cross.examinatiou had
not ended when the court adjourned.
