Cabinet Discusses carnegie's Offer.

Washington, Dec. 12.-The propOs-
ed gift of $1O,OO0,0OO by Andrew
Carnegie for educational purposes
was discussed at today's meeting of
the cabinet. 1t was stated after the
meeting that the president had re-
ceived a communication from Mr..
Carnegie on the subject of creating
a fund for the extension of higher ed
ucation. 1t is said that his PROPOSE
tion does not involve the establish
ment of university buildings in Wash
ington, but rather the placing of
fund in the hands of government rep
resentatives from which the expenses
of deserving students may be paid
in the line of original investigation
at home or abroad. The proposition,
it is understood, has not reached a
concise form, except in general terms
and except as to the amount. The
president will confer with members
of congress in regard to the proposed
gift before making its terms public.
Hon. Carroll D. Wright, commits
sioner of the United States depart
ment of labor, today made the fol-
lowing statement as to Mr.. Carnegie's
endowment of national university
at Washington:
"The general discussion which has
been carried on during the last 25
years in relation to the establish
ment of a national university in Wash
ington has eliminated in a magnifi-
cent plan and endowment by Mr.. An
drew Carnegie. For number of
years the university idea held sway,
was taken up by the Washington
Academy of Sciences and this body,
in cooperation with the George Wash
ington Memorial association, formu-
lated a definite plan which differed
radically from the university plan
contemplated in the earlier years.
This resulted last spring, as was then
published, in the organization of the
Washington Memorial institute. The
plan was in brief as follows:
81. Organization-A private foun-
dation independent of government
support or control.
"Objects-A, to facilitate the use
of the scientific and other resources
of government for research; B, to
cooperate with universities. colleges
and individuals in securing to prop
erly qualified persons opportunities
for advanced study and research.
Daniel c. Gilman, ultimately pres.
ident of the Johns Hopkins univers-
ity. was elected director of the insti.
tuition.
when Mr.. Carnegie came to con-
slider the question of endowing a ma
tional university at Washington. he
Investigated the whole subject with
his usual thoroughness and found
that an institution devoted to research
and the training of capable persons
was more in accord with his concep-
tions than the establishment of uni
versity that would be rival of the
already existing universities of the
country. How far he was led to this
conclusion by the work that had been
done by the organizations in Wash
ington is unknown. but his action in.
The Kalispell bee. [volume] (Kalispell, Mont.) 1900-192?, 1901-12-14

dicates that he had faith in the gen
eral plan that had been developed
and crystalized in that city.
1T is probable that the Washing
ton Memorial institute will suspend
it's operations, for it is understood
that Mr.. Carnegies plan not only en-
braces all the proposed activities of
the institute, but goes far beyond
these"

A BRAVE WOMAN.

In face of death from either of two sources, that of being trampled by q frantic animal and that of being over come by fire, Mrs Sarah Lawler. G,914 Harvard avenue, battIed for her life and that of a pacing horse belonging to her husband, Arthur A. Lawler, q carriage manufacturer at 4OS Sixty ninth street.
 Mrs Lawler glanced out of her kitchen window about 1O:30 o'clock to- day. and saw that the barn in the rea.. was on fire. Her first thought was for the life of the horse. which is blood ed animal. highly valued by it's own CT. She forced her way into the blaz- ing stall and unfastened the horses halter. In order to get the animal out Mrs Lawler was forced to back him into the blaze and as she did SO the crazed animal leaped upon her. Knocking her to the floor. Her dress was on fire and the horse in plunging about threatened to trample on her. Wrapping the halter about her wrist, Mrs Lawler pulled herself to a stand ing position and dragged the horse out.
 In the meantime the fire depart ment arrived and the men were remov- ing several carriages and sets of har- ness from another part of the barn. not knowing of Mrs Lawler's danger Not content with what she had done Mrs Lawler pushed past the firemen into the carriage shed in tho effort to save a new sleigh. The firemen pulled her bark. but not until she had seriously burned her wrists and hands Chicago News.

The threat of the ship subsidy press bureau to have the river and harbor bill held up in the senate until demo- cratic senators who are interested in appropriations carried by that bill al- lowed the ship subsidy bill to be vot- ed upon did not make q dent in the opposition of democratic senators to the ship subsidy bill. Democratic senators from states along the Missis- Sippi river, who were the ones aimed at by the threat, say they can stand the failure of the river and harbor bill as well as republican senators can, and that no action toward that measure by the republicans will change. Secre- tary Root has again declined to fur insh information asked for by q con- gresSiOnal resolution. This time it is the action of General Chaffee in regard to footing by foreign troops in China, information about which a resolution offered by Representative De Armond of Missouri asked, that was refused, on the ground that it was fnexpedient to make it public at the time. MT De Armond stated on the floor of the house that he was satisfied with the reason given for not making public the information.

the other savage methods adopted to terrorize the Boers. The farm burn ings and the inhuman treatment of de fenseless women and children, like the ''pig sticking" incident at Elands- laghte, where disarmed Boers were English are making war upon peo- pie whose country they are trying to steal. The brutal instincts of the cor ner loafers who make up the rank and file of the English army are permit ted to have full play. Not long ago a cable dispatch told of some Boer women who had been so brutally treat ed that they had to be sent to a hos pital. The perpetrators of the brutal ity were court martialed, found guilty and punished by being sent to prison for two months. We remember how, when a similar crime was committed in Virginia during our war by a sol dier wearing the Federal uniform, the criminal was arrested by order of Gen. eral Hancock and condemned to death. The command to which the condemned man belonged turned out to see the execution of the sentence. The two months imprisonment imposed upon the British soldiers in South Africa and the death penalty meted out to the American soldier in Virginia for pre- cisely the same crime show the differ 0Qce in the manner in which the TWO armies carried on hostilities.

HOBSON'S BROTHER HAzED.

The West Point inquiry has now brought out the fact that the special and particular victims of the forms of hazing that prevail there are those who bear distinguished names. There is Cadet Hobson. for instance, who is brother of the hero of the Merrimac. He was called upon to read aloud to the upper classmen lengthy news. paper articles describing his brothers daring achievement. and at the end of each paragraph to proclaim in so- norous tones that he had the honor of being the hero's brother. Then he was ironically applauded and politely re- quested to go out on the street and kiss all the lamposts. And the brother of his brother is said 70 have gone through all his huggermuggery with out murmur. This kind of hazinc isn't so terrible as it might be. In fact. it will probably be found to be flourishing in about nIl our higher in- stitutions of learning where the stu dents enjoy little fun at a fresh mans expense.

MRS SUTRO'S EAR DRUM.

The accident which caused the can- ceiling of the usual weekly ''at home' or Mrs Theodore Sutro. of No 32O West One Hundred and Second street. is more serious than she at first thought. 1t may make her permanently deaf i'll one ear.
 Mrs Sutro sent out notices to her friends that she would not be at home to them to-day because she had broken the drum of her right ear. When q reporter called at her home last night her aunt said: Mrs Sutro had the grip for a week and half, but in sisted on going out for walk every day. Day before yesterday she sneezed very hard while reading in her room and instantly heard q snap in her head on the right side She told me that it was not painful but startling. It was followed by a continuous buzzing as when there is something wrong with the telephone wire.
 'She tried to stop the noise by swal- lowing rapidly and in other ways, but could not. Then, closing her nose with her hand and shutting her mouth, she tried to stop it by holding her breath as children do when they have the earache. To her terror she dis covered that air escaped through her ear. SHe lmIneulately consulted two specialists and was ordered to go to bed and not stir for six weeks. She rebelled at going to bed. but is re- maining in her rooms with even tenn perature and keeping quiet. She can not stand any noise, and music is par ticularly hurtful.,',
 pr s. Brainfn, of No A East One Hundred and Twelfth street. who is treating Mrs Sutro, said last night: There is danger that Mrs Sutro will lose the use of her ear. The injury she has sustained is common with mu- sicians who play in heavy bands and with soldiers who handle big guns, but l have never. known a woman to puncture her ear-drum by sneezing, though 1t is a form of aural trouble that I believe is apt to follow bad cases of grip. Sneezing is necessary, so l will not advise people not to sneeze, The drum of the ear is an oval shaped, thin membrane inserted into q groove around the auditory canal. It is of the thickness of a sheet of paper and is wet on the inside like the mouth and dry on the outside like the skin of the face. Probably the puncture in Mrs Sutro's ear-drum is not larger than the head of a pin, but unless she keeps actually quiet for many weeks it will not heal-New York World.

The nomination of the son of Justice Harlan, of the supreme court, to be at torney- general of Porto Rico has not been confirmed yet by the senate. At a secret session this week special ef- forts were made to get Senator Peti- grew to withdraw his objection to the action, but he refused. declaring that he had no doubt of young MT Harlans s personal fitness for the position and no personal objection to him; that his opposition was based on higher grounds-the unfitness of the noml- nation of son of a justice of the sl- preme court at this time to such po- sition. Mr Pettigrew then said a few words concerning the recent nomina- ton of a son of Justice Mckenna to be major in the army, jumping him over the heads of 11S lieutenuntS and cap- tains; also of the removal of a son of ex-President Harrison, because his father had dared to raise his voice in opposition to the Mckinley policy MT Pettigrew said: "I make no charge against the supreme court, but I do say that the appointment of the sons of two Of the members Of that court to important positions un- der the administration at this junc- ture of affairs in the supreme court is, to say the least, indecent"

The great election boom has .now run ten weeks without break or i'm portant interruption, says Henry Clew's in his weekly letter. It has been no mere clique movement,-no scheme of a few combined profess sional operators. From the begin ming, it has received its support from a large investment demand, and from the speculative class, great and small. in all the domestic centers, acting simultaneously but for the most part independently of each other. The movement received it's impulse from certain concurrent factors of extra ordinary importance to the national welfare, the appreciation of which was not confined to this country but has equally awakened an unprecedent- ed speculation in American railroads on the markets of London and Berlin. It is not surprising that such an un- usual aggregation of speculative forces, acting together and on the same impulse, should ~evelop such a movement as we have witnessed, nor that the boom should exhibit such ex- traordinary force and persistency. The special feature of the movement has been, until recently, the almost total absence of the bear" element. On both sides of the Atlantic, all have been pulling In the same direction: and this uniformity of action has created force of demand never be- fore matched, with an effect on prices absolutely uncomfortable.
