SHIPS FOR THE WORLD
ANDREW CARNEGIE'S VIEW OF
FUTURE POSSIBILITIES.
American Shipyards Will Supply Vessels
for All Creation and with a System of
Adequate Protection Our Merchant
Marine Will Be Restored.

Andrew Carnegie has returned home
from his annual summer tour in Eu-
rope more firmly convinced than ever
that the United States is destined to
become the great shipbuilding country
of the world. He naturally views the
situation from the standpoint of steel
producer, and in his reliance on the
advantages that the American ship
builder enjoys in the matter Of cheaper
materials he overlooks for the time
being other considerations which enter
into the question Of restoration OIL
American shipping on the high seas
He says that a shipbuilder in this
country to-day has the advantage OF
about 81 per ton in the cost Of all steer
materials, and he has all his WOODWORK
cheaper than builders in either Great
Britain or Germany. Mr.. Carnegie
however, does not contend that tne
American shipowner can operate MS
cheaply-built ship in competition VIII
the ow-priced equipment OF foreign
vessels which may have cost more III
the construction.
Although Mr.. Carnegie is in posi-
tion to appreciate fully the necessity
of affording special protection to Amer
! ican ships, he evidently has not yet
given that phase of the question as
much attention as he has given TO the
simpler matter Of building American
ships for the worlds market. He be-
lieves in the immediate development OF
cur shipbuilding facilities. On TINS
subject he says:
''I called the attention Of some west
ern shipbuilders to the opening pre-
sented for a great shipyard in Ne"
York nearly two years ago, and nave
received letters from several persons
regarding the matter. ! know also or
leading shipbuilding concern in Great
Britain which is considering the ao-
visibility of locating here. 1t is op-
vious to any man that the Unlteo
States is going to resume its Original
position as the chief shipbuilding ma
ton of the world. What is the use OF
sending thousands of tons of steel &c
Glasgow and Belfast, as we are dolng
now, when we might as we'll build ths
ships here and send them over?'
When asked to what extent he woul(
personally assist a project to ESTABLISH
another shipyard here Mr.. Carnegie
said:
"Well, what has our company al
ready done toward it? We have as
sisted in placing the steel at the dis
posal of shipowners here several dol
lars per ton cheaper than any othe
shipbuilders in the world can get 1t.

National blue" a new color this
season, is a clear, lively tone of deep
blue, and bids fair to rival navy blue in
popular favor. Emerald green is re-
vived this season, and a shade Of sea-
green comes to us from Paris under
the name Of Neptune"
All indications point to navy blue as
a popular color for fall and winter
wear. It's selection, in most minds, is
a sentimental choice, as one fondly
imagines she is honoring our naval
heroes by wearing gowns Of that color.
Aside from this, the fact is that navy
blue is becoming to blondes, brunettes
and mediums" alike. 1t makes dark
eyes shine, brings out the blue in gray
eyes and heishtens the tone value Of

During the last four years, according
to the London Spectator, the duke of

riment. But the greater number of
the animals are various kinds OF deer,
of which no fewer than thirty-one spe-
cies are in the open park or paddocks,
bisons, zebras, antelopes, wild sheep
and goats and yaks. The novelty ana
freshness of this experiment consist
not only in the accumulation OF sucn

life. free and unmOlested in an English
park. That is the lot of the greater
number of the animals at WoDurn,
some being entirely free and roaming
at large, like the native red deer anu
fallow deer, while the others, though
for the present in separate Enclosures,
are kept in reserves so spacious anu
so lightly, though effectively separated
that they have the appearance OF en-
joying the same degree of liberty.

scribed as being magnificent. During

valleys and meadows stocked with our
ordinary domestic animals seem soil
tary and deserted after the eye mas
rested for hours on the varied and I'm"
pressive forms that crowd the slopes,

This effect is due in part to the large

It consists essentially of huge sphere

NO ANSWER
YET RECEIVED

Washington, Aug. 6.--The answer OF
Spain TO the American terms on which
peace may be restored was expected
almost any moment in Official circles
today, and the brief press dispatches
from Madrid stating that the answer
was an acceptance increased the ten
sion over what was looked upon as the
elimination OF the negotiations. Dur
ing the early hours of the day The state
department had not received any direct
information as to Spain's answer nor
was there any intimation when IL would
come. The same was true as to the
French embassy. The ambassador had
made no arrangement for a call at the
White House or the state department
and none of the officers OF the embassy
had conferred with the officials here
since the discussion of last Wednesday
night.

NOT CONCERNED
OYER DELAY

Washington, Aug. 6--Spain's appa-
rent delay in formally accepting the
terms proposed by the United States as
conditions for ending the war is caus-
ing no concern to the officials Of the ad-
ministration. The delay is in no sense
unexpected. When the second note was
presented to Ambassador Cambon on
Wednesday, in reply to the one of in
quiry as to details. the ambassador
stated that several days would elapse
before final answer could be expected
from Spain.
All the members Of the Cabinet feel
reasonably sure that when Spain is
next heard from her note will be full
and formal acceptance OF the terms
proposed by the United States. There
has been no hitch in the negotiations;
that the last exchange OF notes related
solely to the manner of carrying out the
general terms proposed by the United
States, and that the mere fact that
Spain had begun negotiations respect
ing these details was accepted as a
foregone conclusion that the general
principles laid down by the United
States as conditions for peace were ap-
proved by Spain.
