LONDON, Aug. 11.-Andrew Carnegie
sends to the Associated Press the fol-
lowing statement regarding the situa-
tion in the far East and the relation Of
the United States to further develop

China and the European powers, but
Americas position may be easily for
feited by agreeing to join their action.
The release Of Minister Conger and a
demand for compensation for injuries
incurred are duties incumbent upon the
government, but the United States, in
my opinion, should take no steps in
conjunction with the European powers.

powers has separate interests at heart.
Great Britain is going to land troops

province. Russia keeps her chief forces
in Manchuria. France is in another
region and Germany is in a fourth.

STOCK MARKET INACTIVE.
New York Becomes the Worlds Finan-
cial Center.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE stock and
bond markets have dropped back to a
degree Of inactivity not equalled since
the opening of 1897. The paralysis of
speculation is plainly due to uncertain
ty regarding the future Of the money
market. The placing Of over half the
last British loan in New York foreshad-
ows the necessity that Great Britain
and European governments will be
looking to American capital to help f.
nance future loans. believed to be inn
minent. to meet the cost Of both the
Boer war and the military campaign in
China. The prospects of higher money
rates in consequence discourage any
embarkation upon speculation.

learned on excellent authority that the
party desiring to purchase the property
is the American Railway Company, a
Philadelphia concern. which has recently
