ANDREW CARNEGIE IS TO
GIVE ANOTHER 100000
Philadelphia is TO Receive a Magnificent Gift for
Public Libraries.

New York, March 2o-The World
will say tomorrow: Another magnif-
cent gift from Andrew Carnegie will
be- announced within a few days. It
became known yesterday that Mr.. Car
negie had offered S5,OO0,0OO to another
American city also, it is said, for the
purpose of building libraries.
Philadelphia will be. it is underst oods
the recipient. 1t is said that Mr.. Car
negie has offered to build Libraries ag-
gregating $5.000,O00 in value on cOndi-
tiOns similar to those who accompany
the offer to New York. 1t is also I'M
derstOod that the official announcement
of the proposition will be made within
a few days.
The World yesterday interviewed sew
eral of Mr.. Carnegie's closest friends in
this country and they all agree in that
the S5,0O0,000 donation is soon to be
made public.
I am not positive that Philadelphia
is to be the beneficiary" said one of the
gentlemen, but from the trend of Mr..
Carnegie'S conversations during the
last few months, 1 know that he is
contemplating doing something hand
some for that city.
You are safe in saying that very
negie to some American city Will be
announced; that the money is to be
used for building libraries and that the
city will probably be Philadelphia
Mr.. Carnegie has had a great deal
of business with Philadelphia, and he
entertains the kindest feelings for the
people of that city,

broken off, a dispatch from London tc
the Tribune says:
Mr.. Chamberlain spoke in a conversa-
tional tone, without accentuating the
Importance of it by tone or gesture.
He also spoke guardedIy and carefully
so that no false differences could be
drawn from his admission that the ne
gotiations had failedse Lord Kitchener
was credited with offeriF<~ terms which
General Betha was not disposed to rec
ommend to the other Boer leaders. The
responsibility for the continuance of
guerrilla warfare to the bitter end. con-
sequently, rests with General Botha
and those whom he has consulted. This
was the impression which Mr. Cham
berlain meant to convey.
The fact that he made the eXplana-
ton proved that Sir Alfred Miner,
rather than Lord Kitchener, has been
attempting to negotiate with the Boer
leaders, since otherwise Mr.. Broderick
would have been the one to announce
the unpleasant news.
The prOmptness with which the full
details of the negotiations are prom
Used, indicates desire on the part OF
the government that the terms offered
to the Beers may be known for the
moral effect here and in South Africa.
The ministerialists accepted General
Botha'S answer philosophically, as a
proof that the war must go on until
the Boer leaders were captured, and
that the chancellor of the exchequer
might as well pigeonhole his more IA
vora bic budget and warn taxpayers to
prepare for the worst. the sugar duty
as well as the increased income tax
The pro-Boer liberals, who are looking
for strange revelations from Holland,
are predicting that General Botha will
have a version of the negotiations quite
different from the one authorized by
the colonial office.

Washington, March 2O-Another COM

Special Commissioner Rockhil touching
the complications that have resulted at

there is no trace of an Official protest to
RUSSIA against the execution OF her an

NOT Tor lack of disposition to oppose this
