CABINET TALKS OF GIFT.
Discusses Offer of Mr.. Carnegie OF
S1O,OoO,OOO to Government fox
Educational Purposes.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The proposed
gift of $1o,OOo,oo0 by Mr.. Andrew Caf-
negls for educational purposes was dis
cussed at Tuesdays meeting of the
cabinet. 1t was stated after the meet
ing that the president had received a
communication from Mr.. Carnegie on
the subject of the creation of fund
for the extension of higher education.
1t is said that his proposition does not
involve the establishment of university
buildings in Washington, but rather
the placing of fund in the hands OF
govel nment trustees from which the
expenses of government students may
be paid in the line of original investi-
cation at home or abroad. The propo-
sition, it is understood, has not reached
a concise form except in general
terms and except as to the amount.
The president will confer with mem
bers of congress in regard to the pro-
posed gift before making its terms
public,

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE exclu-
sion of Cinnamon, japanese and other
Asiatics from American territory,
ticket scalping, legislation and advisa-
bility of adopting universal label for
made goods were the principal
questions that claimed the attention
of the delegates at Tuesdays two ses-

Labor.
The Exclusion Question.
The resolutions advocating the ex-
clusion of the Chinese were adopted
by the convention with considerable
hurrah, but in the matter of eXclud-
ing natives of Japan and other Asiatic
lands snag was struck, and this part
of the anti-Mongolian agitation was
killed so far as the present convention
is concerned. The special committee
having charge of the exclusion matter
was unanimous in favorably reporting
the Chinese section of the resolution,
but was divided in regard to the Japan
csc. The Pacific coast delegates led
the discussion on Chinese exclusion,
but were divided when it came to ex-
GLIDING other orientals. The burden
of the remarks of those opposed to the
japanese resolution was that Chinese
immigration was the greater evil Of

announces the final destruction of
the once formidable power of the
late Sultan Rabah. The death of
Rabah was announced in July, 1900,

So have stayed and suffered, not
knowing what day might bring

son has amply justified all my be-

land company is quite as bitter as
that of the settlers-the plans of the
company, if carried out, will practic-
ally dispossess, him-but he will not
make it personal matter with the
engineer-for my sake, if for no bet

(Winifred to Priscilla Bradford.)
Dear Prissie:
Your last letter accuses me of
lack of confidence, and it's so. I
have been talking scenery" as you
say, and it is because a thing so
dreadful has happened that haven't
been able to bring myself to write
lose my mind if | do not confide in
some one; and since you have asked
for share of the burden, you shall
have it.
1nasmuch as you know all the pitt
full foregoings, for you l can COM
press the dreadful thing into three
words: He is here. How he found
me out l don't know; or if it were
design or mere arrow of spiteful
chance; but the miserable fact re-
mains. He is the engineer in charge
of an irrigation project which in

half-mile from the schoolhouse; and

me, you will wonder that I did not
shrek and run away at the very
first That, indeed, was the first i'm
pulsive prompting, and under other
circumstances l should have obeyed
it unquestioningly. But 1t is not so
easy to disappear when one is far
from the highways of travel; and
there was second thought potent
enough to make me stay-and suffer.
Put together all the little odds and
ends l have written about Mr.. Mac
pherson (but you have doubtless
done this long ago. and draw your
own conclusion. There is fuel enough,
God knows, to keep the shame-fre
burning all through my miserable
life, but this is not of it. Having
said so much, you will understand
what follows, reading between the
lines if you care to.
Our first meeting-the only one in
which he has had the hardihood to
| speak to me-was one evening when
was walking home from the school
house with Mr.. Macpherson. He was
| riding past and he recognized me,

insult to all that has gone before. Mr..
Macpherson resented it promptly,
like man and gentleman, and he
he struck him! After that, knew

would be more misery and perhaps

You will say that, 30 long as
keep my secret, exposure can come
only through the man who will stand
self-confessed villain in the telling;
and this is true. But the dastardly
hardihood of this man is past belief,
and I have begun to fear that tho
worst is yet to come. You will re-
call my frequent mention Of Jacob
Sellers daughter. From what have
seen, there is reason to fear that
she is in danger of becoming his
latest victim. They are together a
great deal, and Mans dislike for me
is growing day by day. What he has
told her, I can only surlnise: but her
attitude toward me has lately
changed from frank aversion to
something like contempt. Merciful
heaven! If he should boast to her,
and it should come to Mr.. Macpher-
sons ears--but l must not antici-
pate.
Write me a good long letter, Pris-
sic, dear, and try to comfort me If
you can. Lovingly,

and commenced firing. From what
facts are at present obtainable, both
men emptied their revolvers without

Without going into the technicali-
ties, must say that think you are
mistaken. went over the ground
last year with our consulting engi-
neer, and he is quite sure that dam
at the point where you are working
will be entirely safe. Make such
changes in the plan Of construction
as the nature Of the substrata de-
mands, and push the work with the
utmost speed. With all due regard
for your opinion, I will say that I
have always found the members Of
your profession inclined to err on the
side Of permanence at the COST Of
celebrity; and the work must be
driven. Results are what we want.
Take another week for the exca-
waiting, and If you do not strike bed
rock, put in concrete and build your
dam. A change to the former loca-
ton, as you suggest, is impossible.
Macpherson will not sell, and he is a
man Of means and influence, abund-
antly strong enough to fight battle
which would delay us indefinitely.
Moreover, the settlers are threaten
ing, and you must keep the peace at
all hazards. Your destruction of their
aune and ditch was exceedingly ILL
advised, and If it be not too late,
would suggest that these be re-
placed. Yours truly,

Orchard Grantley to Eugene Ha
cott.l


Dear Halcott:
I was foolishly glad to hear from
you again; glad to learn that Colo
RADIO has given you little longer
lease of life, if no more. Your hand
writing is SO cheerfully undecipher-
able that I have not yet mastered
your opening sentences, but gather
from a readable word here and there
that you were convalescing from an
attack OF barn fever" whatever
that may be, when you wrote. I
don't know the malady; but if you
are convalescent that is the principal
fact.
You are right in supposing that
know something of Wykamp. He
was classmate of mine in the
school of engineering, and was with
me one year on the geodetic survey.
He is bad medicine in moral way;
Is rather immoral than immoral, I
should say; the quality seems to have
been left out of his makeup. There
are localities on the Carolina coast
where he doesn't dare show his face
and he is no coward, either-and
even here in Boston where his people
are known and respected, there are
doors which will never again open to
him.
The episode you refer to occurred
in New Hampshire, and the facts
we're swiftly and deeply buried-by
the young woman's people, suppose.
I haven't been able, thus far, to get
at the details in any sort ofsequenoe,
but there was marriage, which was
no marriage, and woman scorned,
and all that; you know the pitiful
round OF such things. Without
knowing anything about the merits
of this particular case, I should not
hesitate to lay every ounce Of the
burden of blame on the shoulders
of the man. Hos bad, as say; and
in his peculiar speciality has few
equals and no superiors.
Your plan to block his present
game by putting the evidence of one
of his former escapades into the
hands of the young woman is in
genious, but it won't work. As
against the lightest word of a pro-
fessed lover, all the newspaper
charges in the world would weigh
as hydrogen-or coronium, If that be
lighter. None the less, I'll send you
the newspaper clippings, if 1 can un-
earth them in the files.
Sincerely, as always,
DICK.

Favors Ticket ScalpinS.

NhNoiS AASASS oSaApAh6s
The ticket scalping debate was quite
a lively affair. The delegates repre-
senting the railway telegraphers
opened the fight against the resolu-
ton, making the point that such action
was beyond the jurisdiction of the fed
GRAFTON. The typos" were helped
along in their arguments for the adop-
ton of the resolution by several social
istic members of the convention. A
socialist from Chicago said the rail-
roads were ''skinning the people, and
why not let the people skin the rail-
roads--it is a skin game all around"
When the viva voce vote was taken
those in favor of permitting ticket
scalping won by an overwhelming ma
jority.
The agitation for a universal label,
which has been carried on for long
time. was again defeated. Those who
favored the idea fought valiantly, but
the delegates had made up their minds
on the question, and crushed the prop
osition when it came to vote.
