makes the United States a defender of an obnoxious trust will be buried very deep at the next general election, and any member of Congress who so votes will hear from his constituents at the first opportunity they obtain.
 The terms of the gift practically bind the people to maintain the robber tariff which permits the steel trust to rob home consumers unmercifully. It today taxes them s1O ton over and above a fafr price for steel, simply because the tariff wall protects it from foreign competition, especially from Canada. Everybody is taxed when steel is placed at exorbitant prices, for it is the man who uses steel rail or steel bridge that pays the tax. Indirection is the favorite cover of the tariff robbers, but 1t neither changes nor lessens the rob bery.
 What the administration will do and what MT. Carnegie will do, are un- settled problems. The latter will not readily do anything that will cast reflection upon the steel trust. and the conversion of the trust bonds into government bonds would reduce the income of the proposed university from $500,CV0 to about s28AO0O year.

Presidents Son.

"Quentin, the youngest son of President Roosevelt,is the only member of the fam fly who can boast the Capital City as a birthplace" said Washington man at the Morris last nights
 ''He was born just prior to the Spanish American war at 1735 N street while his father was organizing the Rough Riders. He has inherited the warlike spirit of his father and is never so happy as when playing soldier. He often wears a little Rough Rider uniform, and the attendants of the White House must maneuver through the drills whenever the infant warrior takes a notion. They have playful habit of coming to attention" and saluting him with the greatest cere- mony.
 "Quentin does not think much of Wash ington as a place of residence. The White House, in his estimation, is poor substitute for the home at Oyster Bay. He is a sturdy lad, fond of romping, and the restriction of White House life is tiresome to his lively disposition. He does not relish being confined to a small part of the mansion, but would like to roam at will through the building and investi- gate the progress of public business from time to time.
 "The other day the boy desired to walk through the flower beds on stilts. His father told him the gardener objected. The youngster answered:
 |" T don't see what good 1t does for you to be President. There are so many things we can't do here. I wish I was home again."

HOW PRESS OF COUNTRY
 VIEWS sCEILEY VERDICT
schIsy Is vIndIcatsd.

From the New York Journal
 Fighters know each other. The victor of Manila recognizes and does justice to the victor of Santiago.
 Dewey places the laurels where they belong. and where the American people, guided by their common sense and love of fair play. have insisted on placing them ever since the battle of Santiago was fought and won-on Schley's, not on the absent Sampson's, brow.
 To the American people Admiral Dewey was the court of inquiry. Had Dewey condemned him and Adnirals Ramsay and Benham upheld him, the verdict or censure by the minority would have car the majority report. So now, when Ad- mirals Ramsay and Benham report against Schley on sundry counts ana Dewey supports and praises him, 1t Is Dewey's judgment that will be accepted as against theirs. It is easy after the event to pick flaws in the conduct of a commander who had to take the respon- sibility of making decisions in crises
 It is to be regretted of course, that the report of the court of inquiry leaves any room whatever for division of opinion as to Admiral Schley's competence under all circumstances as a naval commander. The country would have been glad had the debate been definitely closed by the removal of every inch of disputed ground. But 1t is not likely that the small critics will have a happy time henceforward, while they dwell upon details that have no bearing whatever on the main point. For schley was really on trial on these three charges:
 L Incompetency at the battle of San tiago.
 2. Cowardice at the battle of Santiago.
 8. Trying to steal from Sampson the honor of victory.
 On all three counts Admiral Schley has been acquitted. and more than acquitted. The majority report gives him full credit for courage and Admiral Dewey awards him the glory of the victory.

The government has in- structed the Governor to send them off to Chili. or bring them to Medosa.

CarnegIe's Gift is Unaccepted.

The facts connected with Mir. Car negie's gift of s10,O0O,000 with which to establish and conduct a national university are coming out, and it is at once seen that the gift is abso- lutely unacceptable in some important respects. The gift In the first place consists of bonds issued by one of the worst trusts ever formed in this or any other country-a trust that sells steel one-third cheaper in Eng land than it does in this country-a trust that stands ready as occasion permits to squeeze the life out of other iron industries in this country.
 Then, too, the terms of the gift re- quire that the bonds be held by the government fifty years, thus making the people of the United States part. ners in and defenders of the trust, for the government is asked to become trustee of the funds. These bonds may never be repudiated as were the Arkansas bonds that James Smithson gave the United States, but the time will come when the water will be |shaken out of the trust, and the pay hent of the interest on the bonds may be endangered if not suspended.
 MT. Carnegie's good faith in the gift is not questioned, and cannot reasonably be, out any party that

THE HARP THAT ONCE THROUGH
 TARA'S HALL.

By Thomas Moore. The harp that once through Tara's halls
 The soul of music shed, Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
 As if that soul were fled So sleeps the pride of former days,
 So glorys thrill is OCT, And hearts that once beat high for praise
 Now feel that pulse no more. No more to chiefs and ladies bright
 The harp of Tara swells; The chord alone that breaks at night
 It's tale of ruin tells. Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
 The only throb she gives Is when some heart indignant breahn . To show that still she lives. ~a

 The reason men can forgive girls for not trying their best to do many other things is they do their best to look the prettiest they can.

Dewey's Verdict Is Enough.
. Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
 The country has heard the deliberate opinion of the one member of the court who possesses It's unreservcd respect and confidence and will accept 1t with practi- cal unanimity.
 We. call the attention of the public to the fact that Admiral Deweys signature to the report Is purely formal and per functory. As the presiding officer of the court it was incumbent on him to certify to the validity of the document. All that is regular and proper enough. But Ad- miral Dewey tells us in sufficiently plain terms what he thinks, and that, we ven- ture to say. will fill the measure of the nations real solicitude. It will be per- ceived on close inspection that Admirals Benham and Ramsay have reached their verdict by the simple process of ignoring the testimony of such men as Cook and Clark and confining themselves to such men as Chadwick, Southerland and Bris- tol. Either Cook and Clark have lied or Admirals Ramsay and Benham regard them as lacking in intelligence. The American people will have little trouble in choosing among these contradictory hypotheses.
 It is clear to us that Admiral Schley should take his case into a civil court suing Maclay's publishers for libel Through this expedient only can he bring to light the infamous conspiracy against his fame and hold up to public execra- tior tla copepirafors fhua far screened by the department, whose favorites. tools and beneficiaries they notoriously are The country is thoroughly convinced that the Navy Department is honeycombed with vicious and ignoble practices.

People VIII Reserve the Verdict.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
 The dual report of the Schley court of inquiry will be read with mingled feel ings of indignation and joy wherever the flag of this nation is respected and loved.
 The prosecutors of Rear Admiral Schley have gained nominal and temporary victory.
 The American people, who have mado the hero of Santiago's cause their own, have won an actual and enduring tri- umph.
 Here then is presented the juxtaposition of standards that have always divided, and will everlastingly divide, the prudent critic from the high minded and liberal judge. Between such men there is gulf as wide as space and as deep as the Bay of Portugal
 The American people will reverse the unreasonable verdict of this irrational majority. From the judgment of Rear Admiral Benham and Rear Admiral Ram say, the case of one of the finest spirits that ever ruled the seas against one of the most formidable naval cabals that ever disgraced a nation, will be appealed to a higher tribunal. To the Congress- of the United States the controversy will now be taken. and in that body which responds most surely to the peoples voice the fame of Winfield Scott Schley will for all time be made secure.

Two Women Charged With Larceny
From the Person.

from the Person.
Two women. giving the names Of Emma
Grant and Martha Robinson, were arrested
yesterday by Precinct Detective Herndon
and Officer Austin on a charge of larceny
from the person. Pasquala Vitale of 1O9S
E street northwest is the complainant. IL
is alleged that the women met the man at
the corner near his house at an early hour
yesterday morning and engaged him in
conversation, during which time, Vitale
claims. a $40 bill disappeared from his
pocket.
Officer Austin arrested Emma Grant a
few minutes later on complaint of the man,
and still later In the day Martha Robinson
called at the first precinct police station to
inquire after her friend. She was informed
that the woman had been arrested and that
she could consider herself under arrest also.
The women claim to be residents of New
York, and say they had only been in Wash
ington three or four days. Both were
dressed in the height of fashion, and are,
apparently, about thirty-five years of age.
They were held at the house of detention.
Last night the officers ascertained that
the women had room on Missouri avenue.
1t was examined and their baggage was
removed to the station house, where it was
opened and an opium smokers outfit was
found, IL is said, In the trunk belonging to
the Grant woman.
The women were arraigned in Judge
SCOTS court this morning, and counsel for
defense requested that the case be con-
tinued until tomorrow, which was granted.
