COMMEND CARNEGIE.
His Gifts of Library Funds Praised by
Noted Men

New York, March 16-Discussing the
conditional offer of Andrew Carnegie to
give $500. 600 for a system OF public Il
oraries IN New York city. Bishop Pot
ter is quoted in the World as saying.
Mr. Carnegie must be credited with
having performed a most noble deed in
making such an offer to the city. The
least the city can do is to provide the
sites for the proposed branch libraries
1t IS by such deeds as this by Mr.. Car
negie that a nation is uplifted.'
Other opinions are as follows.
Seth Low-Such a stupendous and
magnificent gift marks an epoch in phil
slnthropy- Mr.. Carnegie is indeed set
ting swift peace for philanthropists. II
- difficult to conceive how the money
could he better spent than in a library.
The educational influence OF such a IL
brary system as he proposes cannot fell
to be very great The city authorities
should meet Mr. Carnegie at least half
way
Edward H Shepard-Mr. Carnegie's
gifts go far toward relieving that dif1i-
cult problem-how the rich man can
give money without corrupting the re-
cipient- The requirement Of self denying
cooperation by the beneficiary seems 10
me the most admirable feature of these
marvellous and noble gifts
DR. C h Parkhurst-This is a fine
specimen OF 5udicious munificence.

New York. March 1s.-Mrs. Susie

OF Brigham Young. and herself a Nor
mon, is visiting friends in this city She

lie OF this part Of the country the true
position Of the Latter Day Saints in re-
gard to plural marriages

said, TO make ones observations OF a

and preconceDti0ns. That is why peO-
pie who go to Utah get such an unfair
idea. OF Us The MOrmons are. above all
things, loyal Americans.
AS to plural marriages. wish as
much as possible to follow the advice
given me by the president Of my church
He said to me, Don't talk about that
The time IS past when IL could be talked
about, and the people have given il up
But I would like to say that. even in
the old days. only about 4 per cent OF
the MormOns were Of that order. At
Provo, where I live, had occasion the
other day to count up the number of
families that had praeticed that fnstitu-
ton. and there were just two out OF
fourteen hundred I would not have
anyone understand me as opposed to
the doctrine in theory. but our fellow
citizens may be sure that. as Mormon

laws of our country''

STOCK MARKET STRONG.
Southwestern Railways Favorites in
Eastern Purchases.

New York. March 16.-The stock mar
ket has been active and strong during
the week. but spotty. Stocks of smaller
railroad companies available for abs0rp-
ton by the great railroad systems have
been unusually prominent. Rumors Of
consultations, special distributions a,Fi
increased dividends have been used with
effect. The southwestern railroads have
been favorites on large earnings report
ed and on talk OF consolida tons. The
bituminouE coal carrying roads have
been strong on account of the large and
profitable traffic. The coalers were rath-
er heavy until late in the week on the
possibility Of a strike. The prosperous
conditions in the iron trade have been a
factor of strength, although the steel
stocks have been neglected owing to
doubts over the market status Of the
new stocks when issued. The continued
ease Of money has quoted any appre-
hension that was caused by the move
ment of cash reserves There has been
a very large business IN railroad bonds.

YERKES IN CONTROL.
No Doubt That American Capitalist
Has Secured London Railways

New York. March ia dispatch from
London to the Tribune says: In spite Of
the efforts to discredit the announce
ment that Mr.. Yerfoes has secured con-
troll Of the Metropolitan & District rail-
ways, the Express this morning not only
maintains that the report was quite cor
rect but gives further information with
regard TO the alleged deal The combf-
nation plans are said to be a duplication
of those adopted when Yerkes obtained
control of the Chicago street railways,
namely, the reorganization OF the COM
panies on a basis of making the old
shareholders preferential at a fixed rate
of dividend. the raising by bonds OF a
fund to equip the lines electrically. and
to build extensions. and the formation Of
a construction company to do the work.
Mr.. Perks, NJ p. who Is said to have
large share in the operations, IS Yerkas'
solicitor and the largest shareholder In
the District railway. The price Of Dis.
trict ordinary yesterday rose three
foaarths per cent. on the report of Amer
lean control. while Metropolitan ordinary
fell 1 per cent. AS the nominal capital
Of the two Of the companies amounts TO
R24. 600 900, If only &2,000, 600 has been
expended to secure control, the deal
should be a profitable one.

FLANKED THE SULTAN.
Germany Checks His Scheme to Pay
the United States

New York, March ia special To the
Times from Washington says:
The arrangements by which the Sultan
Of Turkey was to pay his debts to the
United States under cover Of the pllr-
chase 0 IA cruiser from the Cramps has
fallen through The Cramps have mot
begun work on the Turkish cruiser and
viii not do so. The prime cause of the
failure Of the device so ingeniously con-
trlved BY the sultan was the shrewd
move OF Germany, recorded In European
dispatches last December.
Germany was determined that If the
American claims were paid hers should
be paid as wen. It was impossible 70 as
sumo that the American claims would be
paid for the sultan had 50 cleverly COLI
tr1yed the payment that he would he
able to reply to Germany that he was
merely buying a wars7ip and was not
paying any debts. Germany therefore
fianlSed the sultan by making her de-
mand, not for the payment Of an fndem-
nifty. but for the payment of a bill owed
to the Krupp concern for arnaor before
ne bought any more war material.
This move OF Germany, IL is now learn
ed has been completely successful The
sultan was able to pretend that he was
not going to pay the American indeni-
nifty but he could NOT pretend that he
was not negotiating with the Cramps for
a ship.

OPPOSED TO CREMATION.
Member of Canadian Government De-
clares It Pagan Custom.


New York, March ia bin now be-
fore the Quebec legislature authorizing
the cremation OF bodies in the Protest
ant cemetery of Montreal Is now under
discussion, says a Montreal special to
the Tribune. The opposition to the bill
has been led by DR.. Guerrin. member
of the government, who submitted that
cremation being a pagan burial custom,
not approved by the ecclesiastical au-
thorities, it should not be permitted in
a Christian land. He Furthermore con-
tended that cremation, making exhuma-
ton and autopsy impossible. would be
used to cover up traces of crime The
Protestant members of the legislature
are supporting the measure, and a spe-
ciaI dispatch from Quebec says that the
bill's passage through the legislative as
senbly IS now assured. In the last few
years a number of bodies have been
