Andrew Carnegie's donation of ter
millions of dollars for a great nationa

Andrew Carnegie's donation of ten
millions of dollars for a great national
university at the
PRACTICAL national capital has
PHILANTHROPY. called forth COM
ment both in this
country and abroad adverse to the
scheme, 1t being assumed by many that
this great amount of wealth could be
devoted to purposes more beneficial to
humanity. German papers have been
quick to criticise Mr.. Carnegie's judg-
ment. their contention being that higher
university education for the great
as many other benefits which could be
conferred by judicious use, of ten
millions. Comment in this country has
been along che line that in the United
States there is no particular need for
more universities. The German papers
take as a text the experience of their
own people in the matter of college
education. Germany. it is asserted. is
over-run with poverty-stricken college
graduates, mostly professional men,
who have no training for the practical
affairs of life. and it is predicted that
America is coming to the same state.
1t seems to be much easier for men
without millions than 1t is for benevo-
lent millionaires themselves to say
how great wealth can best be dis
tributed to the highest advantage of
the masses. Leaving aside the ques-
ton of taste in criticising Mr.. Car
t,;- ;r t,;e
and he alone must work out the deli
cate problem of doing the greatest
possible good with his riches and
dying poor" to which he has set him
self, it should not be forgotten that
his numerous library gifts and his ma
tional university project are insignif-
cant in comparison with his scheme of
a polytechnic school at Pittsburg.
This school. the buildings for which
will soon be erected, will be the most
richly endowed educational institution
in the world before Mr.. Carnegie has
done with 1t, and it is designed to give
to students the very advantages which
are denied them, according to the crit
les. in the universities. The institution
will contain room for ever one hun
dred thousand students. on the broad
est and most practical lines of indus
trial science and art and commercial
law and practice. AS described by a
writer in Success" for January. it
is to be complete in it's curriculum of
practical instruction, and will be world
wide in its scope of educational useful
ness. 1t will be the largest training
school for artisans ever known. and
will make Pittsburg noted as the center
of. advanced practical education. This

is the comprehensive idea of Andrew
Carnegie. its founder. He announces
that he will donate thirty-three million
ing basis.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
operations which the school will be en-
abled to undertake. through its large
endowment. may be CLEANED from the
fact that Pratt Institute. Brooklyn.
recognized as one of the leading in
stitutions of Its kind. II not the leading
one. possesses an endowment fund of
only two million dollars. while the
buildings and equipment cost only
about eight hundred apd fifty thousand
dollars additional. While six million dol
lars may now be used for site, buildings
and equipment of the Carnegie school
in Pittsburg. il is not certain that this
amount will be the limit. Mr.. Carnegie,
during a recent visit to Pittsburg, ex-
amined the plans prepared. and APP
proved them as far as they went. Then
he announced that he was ready to go
ahead with the erection Of the build
ings at any cost. requesting that no
expense be spared to make the institu-
ton what he intended it should be-
namely, the greatest. and finest seat
of learning of its kind in the world.
The new Carnegie Polytechnic Insti-
tute has one definite aim. 1t is to be a
college where young worknien may be
trained to carry on the battles of peace.

KINGS MINIATURE RAILROAD

King Chulalangworn l.. ruler of
Siam, has commissioned two Jersey
men to build a miniature American
train which is to run through the park
surrounding the royal palace of Bang
kok.
Heretofore elephants have been used
to convey the Siamese monarch through
the extensive grounds surrounding
their quarters, so 1t can be seen that
when the two Jerseymen start an
American locomotive whizzing through
the park they will score a triumph for
Caucasian civilization.

Spain had been very liberal in granting
many square leagues of territory here
and there to favorites or subjects that
had rendered survives of one kind or
another Not only were there claims
of that sort that were in every way
valid, and which the courts were
obliged to uphold. but the old Spanish
concessions furnished promising field
for Adventures and swindlers, who
either got hold of grants. originally
valid. which had been forfeited. or who
invented them outright A very ma
grant instance of the last named kind
was exposed only a few years ago, in
which all sorts of forgery were en-
ployed to make a prima facie case, as
the people of Arizona yet vividly re-
member.
The Spanish American countries have
not been behind Spain in the liberality
displayed in making all kinds OF con-
cesisons. Many of these have remained
unused and have been forfeited by fall
ure to comply with their conditions.
Others have been made by revolution
airy leaders. and different persons have
received grants of the same property or
privilege from men claiming to have
authority. 1t Is extremely probable
that extensive claims will be put FOR
ward to concessions touching the canal
route by people who will wish to be
bought Off by the United States. Very
great care will be needed to get all
,aIid concessions extinguished before
tho work of construction be begun.

The total exports for the eleven
months of this year were valued at
81. 32s. 4s3.371. This is the total OF all ex-
ports, and shows decrease OF $8,56Z'-
s17. Domestic merchandise exported
aggregated s1.303. 103lS4. a decrease of
s5,S12lS0 from last years record
breaking total. This decrease is at
best a small one. and. as pointed out
frequently heretofore. this decline is
more apparent than real. inasmuch as
exports to Hawaii and Porto Rico. In
all probably $4,000 600 in 1900, are not
included in this years statistics owing
10 the change in classification of these
islands from foreign to domestic ports.
Even If this small apparent decrease
is admitted to exist. however. 1t is a
striking proof of the growth Of the
country's trade that only this much of
n decline in the aggregate is noted.
The course of export trade monthly
since the first of the year has never
favored any very large gain over that
year of a hundred years-1900-and the
size OF the falling Off should hardly give
ground for much pessimistic writing.
The country's trade can not increase
Indefinitely by leaps and bounds. and
the very small measure of decrease. If
indeed a decrease is shown. is the best
testimony to the continued need of our
products by the rest of the world.
Whatever the future may bring forth.
1t can hardly be claimed that this cour-
try's export trade went down hill very
r=uch in 1901.

Capt William h. English and wife, who
have been spending the summer at Nara
gansett Pier and along the shores of Cape
Cod arrived home last night They re-
turned by way Of Buffalo, where Capt
English went in advance on behalf OF Gov
ernOr Durbln and staff 10 make the nnaI
arrangements for Indiana day, which he
reports would have been the most success
full of all the State celebrations but for the
unexpected relapse and death of the Presi-
dent. Capt. English had secured the
Massachusetts and Minnesota troops al
ready in camp at the exposition, the in
coming First Virginia Regiment, and the
United States artillery and marines TO join
in the parade as well as Parker, the colored
defender of the President, to carry the flag
at the head of the comun, Parker stating
that he would do so for the honor only and
not for pay. When the death of President
Mckinley ended all thoughts OF the cele-
bration, Governor Durbin. who could not
be present in person, telegraphed Capt.
English, who is inspector general on his
staff, TO act as his official representative and
as such he personally conveyed the SYM
patty and coincidence of Governor Durbn
TO Mrs. Mckinley and attended the funeral
ceremonies at the Milburn home last Sun

President Roosevelt received the delegation
most graciously while sorrowfuly allud-

present and pointing TO a spot on his right
hand near the wrist. where a Spanish shell
had made a slight wound in the engage

Capt English states that Governor Yates
informed him that new Illinois day
