". WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The Amer

convention held here to-day was rather
,,neventful. After choosing officers, in
Guiding H. T. Oxnard Of California as

resolutions expressing in general terms
the sentiments Of manufacturers concern

The convention did not discuss the ques-

Cuba looking to possible reduction Of
rates on raw and refined sugar imported
from Cuba to the United States There
was a disposition in the convention not to

90. Objects. (a) To facilitate the use of
the scientific and other resources of the
Government for research: (b) to coop

Not a Rival to Universities.
when Mr.. Carnegie came to consider
the question of endowing a National Uni
versity at Washington, he investigated
the whole subject with his usual tho
roughness and found that an institution
devoted to research and the training OF
capable persons was more in accord with
his conceptions than the establishment OF
a university that would be rival of the
already existing universities of the coun.
try. How far he was led to this conclu-
sion by the work that had been done BY
the organizations in Washington is I'm.

had faith in the general plan that had

Magnificent Endowment.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of

to-day made the following statement as
to Carnegie's endowment of national
university at Washington:
1.-The general discussion which has been
carried on during the last twenty-five
years in relation to the establishment of
a national university in Washington has
eliminated in a. magnificent plan and en-
dowment by Andrew Carnegie. For a
number of years the university idea held

sions in the duty on Cuban sugar. The
action of the House Ways and Means
Committee in the matter of the Philip
pine tariff was taken by the convention
to mean that the prospect of a reduction
of the duty on Cuban sugar is remote, for
the reason that if concessions cannot be
granted to interests in the territory con-
trolled by the United States, they are not
likely to be given to Cuba, foreign coun-
try soon to become independent

OIL RAN OUT.
&C Pike Has am Experience With a
Storage Tank.

Chas. @. Pike had an experience
with large tank of linseed oil Fri
day that he is not liable to forget for
q day or two. In manipulating a
faucet in drawing off a quantity of
oil from the tank the faucet, for some
unexplainable reason, came out Of
the tank and the oil Immediately pro-
ceeded to spread its self over the
house. Chas. held his hands over
the opening as best he could and
called for help. A tub was secured
and this caught the releasing oil un-
til the faucet could be replaced.
Chas lost several gallons of oil and
ruined q suit In the melee. The ware
room looks as though 1t had seen q
smooth time. Mr.. Pike says he is
thankful that the accident happened.
If the faucet had come out at a time
when the store was closed there
would have been several barrels of
oil scattered over the floor of the
ware-room.
