CARNEGIE'S PREDICTION.
Says Colonial Expansion viii Destroy
Our Peace and Prosperity.

NEW YORK. Oct 2O.-Andrew Carnegie
who is back from Europe, said in an inter-
view to-day: IF the United States is going
to undertake the government of the Philip
pines and go in for expansion throughout
the world. putting her hand in the hornets
nest of European rivalry. there can be no
prosperous business. We shall be subject
to wars and war alarms Business is the
child of security and peace. The entrance
of the United States as a new power in the
far East will set every one of the present
powers to a study of the question from a
new standpoint. We shall be compelled to
increase our navy; we must pay for large
standing army, and there is neither rest nor
security for US. Before the American peo-
pie comes now the most serious issue since
the issues of independence and secession. A
false step now and the future of the Re-
public WILL in my opinion be seriously i'm
paired and its industrial career retarded
You do not think that territorial expan-
sion will bring expansion in trader
No, not by any means. The DEVELOPMENT
of one State in the Union IN peace and Sc
curity will outweigh all the increase of
profit we can get from foreign trade in any
OF the worthless possessions which we can
attempt now to take. The Philippines have
certain trade which cannot be greatly in
creased; the wants of the people are few
barbarans are no customers; civilized peo-
pie are the consumers of our products

DR.. Hurry, secretary of the State Board of
Health, of Indianapolis Z. r. Sweeney,
state fish commissioner, Of Columbus; Hon.
o. N. Cranor, district deputy fish commits
sioner, and other deputies in this city, to-
day, to consider a plan for dsposing of
strawboard refuse without polluting the
rivers Several suits are now pending
which threaten to put the strawboard works
out of the business. For months Dr. Hurry
has been experimenting with plan to
purify the water, and believes that he has
hit on something that will bring the desired
relief The manufacturers seemed interest
ed IN securing new plan, showing will
ingness to abide by any suggestions to be
made by the state officials. The plan of
DIR. Hurry is to have a new system of sep
arating the suspended fiber and the after
treatment of the clear liquid by yeasts to
destroy the peculiar sugars it contains; this
to be followed by filtration through sand
beds. The plan will be rather expensive to
the manufacturers, but they made no OBJ
jections. and will give the system a thor
ough test by the erection of the watts in this
city, and before spring its success or fail
ure will be known. The cost of the watts
will be about $1,000. DR.. Hurry claims that
the new system will make the refuse water
as pure as the purest of water, and that
it would be better for drinking water than
any of that used in this country. Attorney
Ballard, of Anderson, council for the fish
commissioner. was present also. All those
interested were more than pleased at the
result of the meeting.

Charges Investigated and Found to
Be Lacking in Truth.


JACKSONVILLE. Fla. Oct. 20-Gen. ].
Wilson and Captain Howell. constituting
the subcommittee appointed to visit and re-
port upon the conditions of the camp at
Fernandina, made their report TO the full
commission to-day. Following is the inn
portant part of the document:
I'VE carefully examined the site cf the
camp of the Third Pennsylvania Volunteers,
which. IL has been reported, was trop-
ical jungle on worthless land, uncleared,
and upon clearing which the troops are said
70 have worked like slaves until it was TIT
for a camp site. While your committee
cannot state the condition of this land when
the troops arrived, IL found no appearance
81 tropical jungle here or IN the V,cliuty.
There were no evidences of there having
been any serious work IN preparing the
camps. although, as is usual, there We're
small bushes, vines and low palms scat
tered here and there over the camp site and
the adjacent land. Altogether the commit
tee was most favorably impressed with the
character Of the site selected. Ne visited
ard obtained from the county clerk of Mas
sau county. Florida, George j.. Wolff, a
map showing the lands occupied by the
troops and his official certificate as to the
ownership of the land This certificate
states that the greater part of the lands
occupied reverted to the State Of Florida in
June 1897 by reason of unpaid taxes. and
that nc one by the name of Alger ever con-
trolled any lands In the county of Mas
sau as shown by the records, and that the
land occnpied by the Third Peunsylvania at
Fernandina as camp was at the time the
property OF the State of Florida. The water
was piped without expenditure to the camp
from Fernandina, being from an artesian
we'll about six hundred feet deep; the sup
ply was unlimited. The water had slight
sulphur taste. which. 1t is said some of the
troops disliked and occasionally used sur
face water. The location of the hospitals.
as pointed out tie US, was on high ground,
well drained and apparently well settled
The mayor of Fernandina informed as that
Major Hendley. the surgeon in charge of
the camp. had stated to him just before the
troops left. that the number Of sick was
3d.
Your committee. therefore, has the honor
to report that, in its opinion. the camp was
well selected: that probably the site was
equal in all respects to any other that could
have been found on the Florida coast. That
from the information the members OBJ
tanned and what they saw il was far from
being a tropical jungle. and that the GER
tificate of the county clerk indicates that
- government official was interested in the
land; that the amount of work done in
clearing the underbrush greater
than might have been expected at almost
any locality in the South selected for camp
ing purposes: that the site was well
drained; the water for drinking and cooking
purposes. good. and the bathing facilities at
the sea beach excellent

READY FOR ARGUMENT.
Lawyers VIII Debate Young COrey's
Insanity To-day.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
KOKOMO, Ind, Oct. 20.-The evidence
closed in the Corey murder trial this even
ing. Tomorrow the lawyers will have a
full day to address the jury and the latter
will get the case in the evening. Outside
of the testimony of Corey's mother and a.
few relatives there was no evidence tending
to support the theory of insanity. The slight
physique and childish appearance of the
youthful slayer will no doubt have its effect
on the jury. Though the state established
strong case, the death penalty is not ex-
pected. 1t was shown that he had owned
revolvers ever since he was fifteen years
old, and two occasions had drawn the
weapon to kill young men of the neighbOr-
hood. His mother testified to taking revol-
vers away from him and selling them.
Corey has a soft. effeminate face. looking
more like a young Christian EndeavOr
worker or theological student than a cold
blooded murderer David Hedrick, the MUIR
dered deaf mute was also small of stature,
being five feet three inches tall, weighing
10 pounds. Corey is under five feet and
weighs less than 100 pounds. Several physi-
clans testified concerning Corey's mental
condition. The evidence was unexpected by
Coreys neighbors, who had never heard of
his being insane until now.

Washington Special in Chicago Post.
Officials of the War Office pass in silent
contempt the crazy charge that they are in
conspiracy to keep Col. William jennings
Bryan in the service or that they subjected
him to barbarous treatment on the occasion
of his recent. visit to Washington, dragging
him from a sick bed and sending him back
to Jacksonville. There has not been an
hour since his regiment was mustered in
that Colonel Bryan Could not have quit the
army by the simple formalty of resigning
He was neither drugged and slipped into
the army without his knowledge or con-
sent, lassoed and dragged into the army
nor forcibly propelled into the army. He
went of his own free will and motion, and
with great tumult about a conspiracy to
keep him out. He and his friends have been
regreting the move ever since it was made
but he made his own bed. Furthermore, he
was not so desperately sick when in Wash
ington that he could not hold continuous
daily and nightly political receptions and
conferences, and he did not leave until he
was good and ready. When he did depart
he stopped EN- route at Virginia Hot Springs
for further rest. The trouble with Bryan is
not that the War Office has been in any way
interfering with him. but that it has left
him severely alone. leaving him perfectly
free to play his ridiculous game in his
own grOteSQue way.
