CARNEGIE'S BIG GIFT.
II Is in Steel Trust Bonds, and
Governm me Mt Is in q Peculiar
Prcdjc me ut.

Washington, Dec. 13.-It transrires
that the gift of sl0,OOO,OOO 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 corporation.
The offer of these bonds is embar
rassing 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.. Carnegie
about the matter 1t Is understood to
be his desire that the bonds be convert
ed 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.
Pending the result of this cores
pondence Mr.. Carnegie's offer is being
withheld from congress. The presi-
dent has conferred with several prom
inent senators and representatives
about the matter within the last day or
two, and all concur with him in the be-
lief that the acceptance by the govern
ment of bonds in the big steel corpora
ton might subject the administrator
to criticism and might prove exceed
ingly embarrassing in the future.
1t Is pointed out, for instance, that
in the event of legal proceedings by
the department of justice in connection
with the corporation, the holding of
the company's bonds by the govern
ment might lead to adverse criticism.
The suggestion that the government
accept the bonds and then dispose of
them IS considered equally objection
able.

The DISASTER A BLESSING.
Affairs In North China May Help Mis-
a.. sion Work-Fears For Out
RACES In Armenia.

Boston, Dec. 14.-The American
board of foreign Missions, in its
ninety-second annual report, made
public, says: There is reason to
fear a repetition of the wholesale
massacres of Armenians in the Mas
souns districts in 1894, which were
the prelude to the fearful scenes Of
1895. 1t ought to be impossible for
the sultan with impunity again to dip
his hands so deep in the blood of his
innocent subjects.
There is good reason to think that
the disastrous events in North China,
SO far from being the destruction Of
even the permanent injury Of the mis-.
sionary work in China, will prove the
overthrow of seemingly insurmount-
able obstacles to the opening of all
doors of access to the Chinese peo.
ple."
The summary of donations shows a
total of $677.S61, including legacies,
for current expenses tif $317,072; do

Ihis struggle, as the financial journals explain
II here is OF grave Importance. since it involves
the obligation OF employers to give up the con-
troll Of their own business and compel their
workmen to join trades unions. AS the case is
summed I'D for the information of British
manufacturers the success of the strike will un-
otrmiLe the controlling power Of managers and
employers without running UP the scale Of
wages. whereas the failure of trades unions
will be followed by an enlargement os produc-
tion and an increase in wages. The Welsh tin
plate trade still counts upon scoring heavily by
the shortage in the supply caused by the strike.
Manchester is finding the ship canal which the
corporation was compelled TO finance and com

iety. The managers have reported that even
small vessels cannot leave the canal for several
hours after low water. and consequently the
entrance 10 the canal must be deepened two
feet and the entire waterway dredged until the
largest cargo vessels can pass through it. This
costly work will involve excavation Of more
than two feet all along the line. The Manches-
