Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie were at
the De Soto yesterday en- route for their
home in New York. Their special car was
attached to the New York and Florida
special over the Plant system, which left
here yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Carnegie was seen by q Morning
News reporter and asked as to his views
on the presidential situation.
THE political situation at present" he
said, sis very satisfactory to me- Any one
Of the five leading candidates are ac-
ceptable. Mr.. Mckinley, 1 notice, is work
ing very hard. but it seems TO me if 1
were preparing for. a race 1 would not
run so fast SO far ahead of the starting
time"
Il am afraid" said Mr.. Carnegie, that
both parties will fool with the silver ques-
ton in some form in their platforms.
What do you think of the union of
free silver and protection as proposed by
the Manufacturers Club of Philadelphia"
Mr.. Carnegie was asked.
1T is like the celebrated image which
was made of pure gold to the waist, and
OF clay beneath" he replied The one is
sounG and will bring DrOspe rity: the other
is unsound and will continue the present
depression which exists in this country.

HeVing that sound money is of even more
vital importance than protection to the
interests or the country. There can and
Will be no genuine prosperity in this coun-
try until all doubts are settled. in regard
to the highest standard of oW- money. l
do not think the Philadelph ia coterie
represents the manufacturing industries
of the country any more than Senator
Cameron represents the sentime Mt of Penn
sylvania."
In regard to international complication
Mr.. Carnegie thinks the conditions favor
able for the peaceful settlement of the dis
pute with England ON the Venezuelan
boundary question. 1t is proved that even
the present government in Ems land could
not adhere to its refusal to arbitrate the
boundary dispute.
Mr.. Carnegie said in speaking of Cuba:
Il believe the coming of the hot season
VIII prolong the contest for another year,
Ing the Cubans self-governmen mt, even if
they do not succeed in establi shing their
compete independence. The passage of
the bill recognizing the Cubans as bellige-
rents would, of course. inspire the pa
triots with renewed zeal. 1 do not think
serious complications with Spain would
result.
Americans" Mr.. Carnegie aid, sym
pathizes with the efforts of any people to
throw off their foreign connect ons. l am
a great believer in the Monrd doctrine
and do not believe any people on the
American continent should be under the
control of a foreign power"
Speaking of the trade OUTLOOK Mr.. Car
negie said TRADE is not res bonding to
the sanguine expectations of the people.
We have driven away the CAP ital of the
world by juggling with the IN oney stan
dard of the country. Capital will not en-
tons"
Speaking of Savannah Mr.. Carnegie said
1t is ten years since he was las here. 'T
have no hesitation in saying he added,
that no city in the south has improved so
much in that time. Savannah his made
progress that would be considered credi-
table to any city in the country
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie have been
spending some weeks at Dung eness, the
beautiful home of Mrs. Thomas Carnegie
ege's.
