Mr.. CARNEGIE AND CHINA
CANNOT COMPLY WITH MINISTER WIS
SUGGESTION TO BUILD AN IN
STITUTION IN PEKING

In a Washington dispatch the other day Wu
Ting Fang. the Chinese Minister to the United
States, was represented as saying: "Whv
should I despair that his generous hand will
reach out toward Chna?" after speaking in
high terms of Andrew Carnegies work in es-
tablishing libraries here and in Great Britain.
The Minister continued:
I believe if Mr. Carnegie knew what good re-
suits could be accomplished through the found
ing of such an institution in my country he
would do so without hesitation. What an in
a splendid library in the city of Pe<ing! Think
how it would draw my people to find that your
citizens We're capable of such unseIfsh interest
in race separated from you by thousands ~
miles and what inspirations it would plant in
their breasts But l make no appeal TO Mr.
Carnegie. He is philanthropist who doubtless
knows to what purpose his benevolence can best
be put.
The substance of the foregoing was cabled to
Mr.. Carnegie at Skibo Castle, Scotland bv The
New-York Tribune, and the following answer
was received:
In reply I regret to say that I cannot pat
