NOT A CASH GIFT.
Carnegle's $4,000. 900 for the Extension
of Education Consisted of Steel
Trust Bonds.

Washington, Dec. 13.-It transpires
that the gift of 100000 which-An-
drew Carnegie rendered to President
Roosevelt for the founding of a great
institution for higher education was
not an offer Of $40, 100000 in cash, but
the par value of that amount in bonds
of the United States Steel corpora
ton.
The offer of these bonds is embar-
RAISING to the administration, owing
to the complications which might
arise if the government accepted them
and the president, it is understood. is
now in correspondence with Mr.. Car
negie about the matter. 1t is under
stood to be his desire that the bonds
be converted into cash. If this is done
the only obstacle in the path of the
acceptance of the generous gift of
Mr.. Carnegie will be removed. Pend
ing the result of this correspondence
Mr.. Carnegie's offer is being withheld
from congress.

CAN THIS BE TRUE?
Discarded Wife of "Atheno," the Alleged
SIx-Day-SIee Says He Is
a Fakir.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 14.-Mrs.
Carl Athena, wife of the alleged hyp-
nOtist and slumberer, who spent six
days under ground at Kansas City
and was dug up after an interment of
two days in Omaha, AYERS that her
husband is a fakir. Mrs. Athena de-
clared that air was admitted to Ath-
eno's grave through the shaft down
which the public looked, and that
food and drink were passed to him in
the same way. This was given to
him in small quantities, and at night,
when there were, of course, no specta-
tors present. Mrs. Athena says that
she herself lowered food to her hus-
band in this way. A desire for re-
venge prompted Mrs. Athena to make
her exposure of her husbands alleged
methods. Athena has deserted her,
and now the woman who watched be-
side his grave night and day while he
was buried here has become Nemesis
and asserts that if possible she will
put him behind prison bars.

AWFUL CONDITIONS.
Death Rate of 253 Per 1000 in
South African Camps.
Large Majority OF Victims Are Children
English NJ edicaI Ohicers Blame the Pit
liable Conditions to the Filthy
Habits of the Isoers.

London, Dec. 16.-The delay in the
publication of the October and No
vember returns from the concentra.
ton camps, which were issued Satur-
day, was apparently due to the gov
ernment's desire to accomplish the
announcement of the pitiably high
death rate with some good official ex.
PLANTATION. The blue book issued
shows 3.156 deaths of whites in Octo-
Der, of which number 1858 were chill
dren, and 2,807 death of whites in No.
vember, of which 2,271 were children.
This makes the total number OF
deaths for the last six months IS, GAL.
or death rate approximating 253
per year per 1000. Among the col
ored persons there were 1908 deaths
in two months. The blue book con-
tains the governments plans for
breaking up the camps, as recently
outlined in the speeches of the war
secretary, Broderick.
The war secretary, Mr.. Broderick,
and the reports of medical officers
blame the death rate on the filthy
habits of the Beers, the concealment
of diseases, the feeding of babies on
meat, heavy dough bread and stewed
black coffee, and the admission to
the camps of half-starVed refugees,
riddled with disease.

DECLARED NOT GUILTY.
The Jury Acquits Mrs BonIne of the Muir
der OF james Ayres and She Is
Set at Liberty.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE jury in
the case of Mrs. Lola Ida Henry Bo-
nine, charged with the murder of
James Seymour Ayres, Jr.. in the
Kenmore hotel in this city on the
night of May 13, yesterday evening
returned verdict of not guilty and
the defendant was set at liberty.
Such a conclusion of the trial was
generally expected, the popular i'm
preston here being that from the evil
denee submitted the prosecution had
failed to prove its case against Mrs.
Bonine. The jury was out less than
five hours. Mrs. Bonnie was in court
at the time and with her were her
husband and her two boys and sew
eral of her relatives, all of whom have
shown their sympathy for her by
their constant attendance during the
long trial. The jury were discharged
and Mrs. BONNIE and her friends left
the courthouse by back door.

WHY BRIGANDs OBJECT.
The Latest Story Says Miss Stone Is Trying
to Convert Her Bulgarian Captors
to Christianity.

Constantinople, Dec. 13.-The latest
information regarding Miss Ellen M.
Stone, the American missionary, and
Nine. Tsilka, her companion, indicates
that their condition has been so far
ameloriated that they are able to OBJ
tain rude comforts. It is even said
that the brigands have a doctor ready
at hand in case his services should
be NEEDED. It appears that the bri-
gands are now complaining that Miss
Stone is attempting to convert them
to Christianity. While recognizing the
illegality of the abduction of Miss
Stone and Mime. Tsillza, the brigands
contend that their action was in the
interest of a sacred cause, and there
fore iustifiable.

ROOSEVELT WON'T ACCEPT.
Steel Trust Bonds for an Institution of
Higher Learning Are Objectionable
to the President.

Washington, Dec. 15.-It is said to
be definitely decided that President
Roosevelt will not accept the offer of
Andrew Carnegie of $1o,OOO,OO0 of
bonds of the United States steel cor
poration for the purpose of founding
an institution for higher education
in this city. The views of prominent
senators and representatives as they
have been given to the president are
practically unanimous against the ac-
ceptance of the offer in it's present
shape. The provision attached to the
offer that the government shall hold
the bonds for term of years is con-
sidered especially Objectionable. The
president, however, is very hopeful
that an adjustment can be made by
which Mr.. Carnegie will convert the
bonds which he rendered into cash or
United States bonds and that the gift
can then be accepted in that shape.

THOSE TIMID BRIToNs.
London Saturday Review Angrily Insin
mates That American Diplomatic Vic
tories Are Won UnscrupulOusIy.

London, Dec. 16.-The Saturday Re
view continues its campaign against
the Nicaraguan treaty. 1t declares
that Senator Lodges speech during
the senate executive session Deem
Der 10 should at least make it clear
how complete is Lord Lansdowne's
surrender to the United States. The
Review holds that permission to for
tify the canal exists, but that Senator
Lodge, in order to win over the more
impudent believers in American al
mightiness" exaggerated the inten-
ton of the treaty, the broad principal
of which, the writer holds, is perfect
naturalization and opposed to any
arbitrary act by the United States.
But" the Review continues, ''nine
points of the law are with Senator
Lodge. If the history of diplomacy has
shown anything, it has proved the alb
sOlute helplessness of broad principles
and wide implications in dealing with
INSCRIPTIONS politicians

WOULD GET Ex-Gov. TAYLOR,
Bill in Congress to Place ExtraditIOn In
Hands of Federal Officers When
Governor Refuses to Act.

measures designed to secure the ex-
tradition of ex-Gov. Taylor, of Ken
lucky, from Indiana, where he is said
to be sojourning, to Kentucky, where
he is wanted in connection with the

is for an investigation whether the

refusing to recognize extradition pa
pers from the governor of another
state. The other measure provides
that in case a governor refused to
recognize extradition papers they may
be executed by a United States mar
shall.
