Washington, Dec. 23.-The Star says
Andrew Carnegie of Pittsburg, donor of
libraries, stepped out of the Shoreham
hotel yesterday morning and started for
Senator Hanna's residence, just around
the corner, on Lafayette square. Two
gentlemen who We're waiting for him at
the hotel approached and asked for five
minutes talk with him
"All right" responded Mr.. Carnegie,
''but just walk along with me. l am be-
hind time"
So they went along together, and as
they walked the two gentlemen laid be-
fore Mr.. Carnegie the necessity for a
public library at Fort Dodge, III. They
said Fort Dodge needed library the
worst kind, and the way things were 60
ing it seemed that the only chance of
getting one was for some great and good
philanthropist to give them one. They
talked their case for the square and Al
half between the Shoreham and Senator
Hanna's house, and when the party
reached the senator's door the library
was won.
Surely said Mr.. Carnegie, Fort
Dodge shall have a library building
Let the city donate Il site and agree tc
maintain the library and as soon as this
is done draw on me for $1,000 for the
building. Good day"

The Cudahy kidnapping.

Omaha, Dec 23.-There are no new
developments of interest in the kidnapping
case of Edward Gudahy Jr., who was
carried away Tuesday night and held for
$4,000 ransom. The discovery of the
house in which the young man was inn
prisoned, however, has also led to other
clews which promise something more
definite in the near future. From those
living in the vicinity of the building the

GARDINER REMOVED.
Roosevelt Holds Him Guilty of APP
proving Deyery's Election Folly.


proving Devery's Election Folly.
Albany, Dec. 23.-Asa Bird Gardiner
is no longer district attorney of New
York county. Shortly after 10 o'clock
Saturday night Governor Roosevelt filed
Il memorandum removing him from office
on the charges preferred, by Deputy At
torney General Hammond.
Immediately after the filing of this
memorandum the governor announced
that he had appointed in Gardeners place
Eugene A. Philbin OF Ill Broadway,
New York city. Mr.. philbin is the senior
partner of the firm of philbin, Beekman
X Menken. Mr.. Beekman, who was a
justice of the supreme court, died few
days ago. Mr.. Philbin is a member of
the Reform club, Gold Democrat and
an opponent of Crokerism. He is the
opposite of all that Gardiner has repre-
sented in the political life of the city.
When the hearing was ended at Z
o'clock Saturday night, the belief was
general that a case had been made out
against Gardiner and that he had been
proved guilty of sympathy at least with
Chief Devery's open Indictment to riot
at the recent election. His failure to
help Mr.. Hammond in the speedy prose
cution of election offenders was made so
clear that all who heard the testimony
felt that there would be a new district
attorney named for New York.
Mr.. Gardiner and his staff of assist
ants must have felt the impending SEN
tence of guilt. They were depressed at
the close of the hearing, and when Gov
ernOr Roosevelt announced that he would
decide the case that night they lost all
heart and decided not to await the de-
cision. Cabs were called, and the entire
party was driven to the New York Cen
tral station, where they took train for
New York.

business Depression In Germany.

Washington, Dec. pa pronounced
depression in German business enter
prises generally has been reported to the
state department by United States Con
sui Albert at Brunswick. In building, in
railroad projects, in the construction of
electrical and street railroads, and in
projected electrical plants for lighting
there has been a very material decrease
as compared with last year Of from 30 to
60 per cent. The number of projected
gas works is almost third less, and in
mining and smelling, metal manufacture,
breweries and water works there has
been considerable falling off. The con-
sui characterizes the depression as the
natural reaction after so much prosperity
in 1899 and says that Germany never
was so fiourishing as during last year.

The Newfoundland rrenty.

st. Johns, N. T., Dec. 23.-On the last
day of December the Anglo French mo-
dus vivendi respecting the Newfoundland
treaty coast expires, and this, it is ex-
pected, will create serious complications
between these two powers. 1t is highly
unlikely that the Newfoundland legisla-
ture will consent to renew the present ar
rangements, in which case grave friction
will probably ensue, unless England
makes another arrangement with France.
The coony's position, however, is so
strong with the British public that such
arrangement must be decidedly favorable
