Te,-,rorial Ta-ite ouesf,on,

The decision of the Treasury depart
ment in the Porto Rico coffee case is,
of course, the only one that could have
been reached under the Foraker law
and the recent presidential proclama-
tion suspending the 10 per cent tariff
and extending the Dingley act to the
new territory. Porto Rico is now part
of the United States and of the free
trade union, and she can have no spe-
cial duties and exemptions. She is
naturally pleased with the change, but
she desired per cent duty upon
Brazilian coffee and contended that
this duty was not affected by the re-
mova1 of the Foraker tariff.
Having been overruled on this point,
1t is announced that congress will be
urged to re-enact special tariff law
to protect Porto Rico coffee against
Brazilian competition. Hawaii may
make common cause with her sister
territory, as she too suffers from the
Importation Of Brazilian coffee.

In this plant microbes will be made

THE KINGS CORONATION.
Designs For Robes selected--A Much
Jcweled Crown.

LONDON. Dec. 9.--Designs for the
coronation robes finally have been de-
cided upon. King Edward will wear a
cloth of gold underjacket embroidered
with palm branches and the shamrock,
rose and thistle. On the kings stole
the cross of st. George the royal
crown and the rose, shamrock and
thistle will be woven in gold threads.
His cape will be magnificent gar
ment, decorated with silver eagles and
feur-de-lis and the national floral en-
blem.
Queen Alexandra will wear robes
very similar to those of Queen Ade-
laide. which will be brought to Marl-
borough House from Brodie castle,
where they are kept as heirlooms.
The coronation rites will last four
hours. After the sacrament has been
administered to the king he will dis
card the church vestments and put on
his state robes.
More than 5000 precious stones-dia-
monds, pearls, rubies, sapphires and
emeralds-will be included in the
kings crown. There will be 1850 pure
white diamonds and 1870 rose dia-
monds. The historic ruby which the
king of CASTLE gave to the Black
Prince in 1867 and which was subse-
quently worn by Henry V. in Agin-
court is in the center of the crown,
placed in the heart of Maltese cross.

WHAT CARNEGIE DID
An Offer Of Ten Millions For
National University.
TO BE LOCATED At WASHINGTON.
Proposition to Endow nm Institution
For Higher Education Made to
the President-Matter to De
Submitted to Congress-.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - The
Washington Post this morning says
that President Roosevelt has received
letter from Andrew Carnegie In
which the latter offers TO make do
nation Of S1O,000,OOO to the United
States. The letter will be referred to
congress by the president in a special
message.
Mr.. Carnegie's gift is for the purpose
of establishing in Washington uni
versity for higher education. AS far
as his idea has been developed it pro
poses a gift after the manner of the
bequest of James Smithson, the Eng
lishman, who gave S1,000,000 for the
establishment and maintenance of
what is now known as the Smithso-
nlan institution. Smlthson desired the
institution founded by him TO be n fac
tor in "the diffusion of scientific knowl-
edge"
Mr.. Carnegie proposes that the uni
versity which he Is to endow shall be
the greatest institution in the world
for the development of higher educa-
ton. He has consulted President Gill
man of Johns Hopkins university,
President Hadley Of Yale. President
Eliot of Harvard, ex-President White
of Cornell and all the leading educators
of the country They heartily indorse
his plans. The proposed university will
not interfere in the least with the edu-
cational institutions already establish
ed but will supplement them, for, ac-
cording to the present plans, its doors
will be open only to those who desire
to take up postgraduate course. Mr..
Carnegie also wants the new univer-
sity to take the lead in original re-
search, so that the United States can
eventually stand side by side with
Germany, if not excel that nation, in
scientific development.
Mr.. Carnegie's plan does not pro-
pose a national university in the sense
that an appropriation will be asked or
needed. The government is simply to
be the trustee of the magnificent en-
dowment, Just as it administers the
fund bequeathed by Smithson.
The amount of money to be given by
Mr.. Carnegie equals the sum of the
present endowment fund of Harvard
and is considerably more than the in
vested fund of Yale. With the Catholic
university, the Methodist university
and the proposed Carnegie university,
Washington will be the educational
center of the country.
