London, Sept. S.-The week has been
prolific of discussion, but though the
main questions of international and ma
tlonal interest appear to be profiting by
the general desire for peace. which re-
mains the strongest factor of interna-
tlonal politics and appears to be be an.
preaching a solution, they have not vet
reached the point of tinality which Great
asrltaln so earnestly desires in order that
she may attend to her private concerns,
Among the latter stands out most prom
lhehtiy the south African question and
the general election. BY help of the de-
sire for peace dominating all nations
Great Britain has been enabled to
achieve without hindrance the formal
annexation of the South African repub-
lies, which, as a cabinet minister de-
,clared last year. would be an ''unmiti-
gated misfortune" The jingoes pretend
that the annexation of the Transyaal
rs of the end of the South
fAfrican war, but the Boer view of the
question differs, and as a matter of fact,
there are no signs that the British are
masters of the country anywhere ex-
cept in the case of strips Of land along
the railroads. However, in spite of the
~disconcerting persistence of the bur-
shers' inc British government apparent
~ mas determined to carry out the
scheme for an early appeal to the coun-
Try. Everything appears to be shaping
LOT an october election and the return to
England Of Lord Salisbury during the
coming week will probably be speedily
followed by a definite of
the date Of the dissolution as well as
British views on far eastern matters.
Among the interesting features of the
election news is the movement on the
part of the liberal unionists to return to
the liberal fOld and to be again what Sir
Vernon Harcourt declared himself to be
in a speech of September 4, liberal with
out any a~djectives."

, Special dispatchest from New York
have surfeited the reading public here
with more or less circumstantial details
of the acute crisis in the Carnegie COM
pany and it's reorganization. etc. But
MI. Andrew Carnegie cnaracterizes the
reports as deVoid of foundation in fact.
In a telegram to the Associated Press he

We are a harmonious, happy family.
No changes are desired or contemplated
Mr.. Charles A. Smith, of New York,
who is returning to the United States
this week after an extensive tour of
Europe has just completed a fortnight's
visit to Skibo Cave, the Scotch estate of
MIR. Carnegie. Mr.. Smith said
M Carnegie is going to have one of
the finest castles in Scotland wnen the
REPAIRS are completed. I had 200 men
Iemployed on the castle and grounds all
summer, doing wonders in transforming
the estate. I played golf nearly every
day with Mr.. Carnegie and know that
the stories of dissensions in the Carne-
lgie company are utterly u~nfounded. We
knew President Schwab was in Europe,
fbut he vas not at Skibo castle.
Iron is low but Mr.. Carnegie is hope

outlook in the United States. He is pOinp
