CARNEGIE GIVES MILLIONS
AN EDUCATIONAL FUND OF s100OO,0oO
FOR FOUR SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIES

London, May 20-Andrew Carnegie has given
t2,ooo.OOO to establish free education in four
Scotch Observation-Disclosures Glasgow, Aoer-
deen and st. Andrews. He stipulates that the
benehciaries oe his Scottish fellow countrymen
only no English Irish. Coonials or foreigners.
The fund will apply TO medical as well as COM
mercial education. and will be placed in the
hands OF trustees. who will pay the expenses or
Scottish students benefited under the scheme.
Mr.. Carnegie had for some years been con-
slderlng the plan for helping Scotch students
10 OBTAIN university education. He consulted
with Lord Balfour of Burleigh. the Secretary
for Scotland and Lord Rector of Edinburgh
University; Lord Elgin (the Lord Lieutenant of
F'ifeshire); Thomas Shaw NJ P. (who was for
merly Solicitor-General for Scotland and is
Hamilton fellow in mental philosophy of Edn-
burgh University, and other representative edu-
Gators. and the result was that he presented the
fund referred to, which will produce an annual
income OF 100000 Mr. Carnegie inquiries show
that the total fees paid to the four universities IS
$4,000 annually. He considers that the =
oeOOOO he has given will give an income sum-
cient to provide free university education for
every boy and girl in Scotland capable of pass
ing the entrance examinations
Mr.. Carnegie is determined that the benefits
snail be open to rich and poor alike, so that
there shall be nothing suggestive of pauperism
connected with the gift He desires that all
Scotchmen and Scotch women shall enter the
universities on an equal footing, hence the
fees, but to the universities themselves The
system is made perpetually free and will prob
ably be under government auspices.
According to the educational authorities the
administration Of Mr.. Carnegies gift presents
considerab BILE difficulties and for this the
Scotch papers. for the present are rather look
ing the gift horse in the mouth while the Eng
lsh press is inclined to cavil at the method Of
Mr.. Carnege's munifcence. The leading Scotch
paper, The Edinburgh Scotsman" says edi-
torially that Mr.. Carnegies offer Is "disconcert-
ing from its very magnfcence," and proceeds
to show how the gift might disorganize the
whole educational system. 1t points out that the
fees which students pay only a small part
of the of educating them, the remainder
being supplied by endowments and that. II
Mr.. Carnege's project were TO bring an in
crease Of students the universities would be
compelled to appeal TO the public for further
funds. Then, if university education is free,
the country will soon be asked, The Scotsman
contends. to make secondary education free
also In conclusion, it asserts that acceptance
Of the offer demands the most careful considera-
ton, although ii is an offer which Scotland can
not afford decline without the best Of good
reasons"
The London papers reflect these difficulties
while expressing admiration and gratitude

EDINBURGH EDUCATORS DIFFER.

Edinburgh. May 20.-Mr. Carnege's gift has
been almost the sole topic Of conversation in
Edinburgh to-day. Sir William Muir, principal
OF the University Of Edinburgh when inter
viewed on the subject. said
I regard the gift one Of extraordinary mu-
nifcence, and there is no doubt that II will
largely increase the number Of students. l be
lieve that another result will be the freeing OF
secondary education. Possibly the government
would make grant for this purpose.
Arthur P Laurie principal OF the Heriot-
Watt College Edinburgh, said:
I do not hesitate to characterize the applica-
ton OF the money q mistake. Poor parents
cannot afford 10 keep their children during a
university course. and free university education
would prejudcially affect institutions like the
Heriot- Watt College. II Mr. Carnegie would de-
vote the money 10 the better endowment and
equipment OF universities It would do i'm
meuse deal OF good.

sERTIAN GYPsIEs TO BE DEPoRTED
IMMIGRATION OFFICIALS DECIDE THAT THEY
ARE TOO FILTHY TO LAND

The fifty Servian gypsies who were detained on
Ellis Island likely to become public charges
were yesterday taken to the North German Lloyd
Line steamship Lain for deportation. In spite of
the fact that the gypsies had about 5000 and
bound for Canada, the immigration officials de-
cided that they could not land. The Lain sails
to-day for Bremen. No objection will be made to
taking the gypses back by the officials of the
steamship line here.
One of the objections TO admitting the gypsies to
the country is their hlthiness- The silver spangles
their clothing could not hide the CRIME. and
their habits disgusting.

Sioux Falls, s.. D., Dec. 31.-The diff
ferences existing between the South
Dakota republicans over the election OF
q successor OF Senator Pettigrew have
been adjusted, and as a result OF a
compromise now being effected Con
gresham Robert u. Gamble will be
practically the unanimous choice OF the
republican members of the Legislature
for United States senator.
The basis Of the compromise Va that
Gamble shall be given the United
States senatorship, while those leaders
Of the so-called machine" who have
been opposing him are to dictate the
'ederal appointments for South Dakota.
This will mean hat j. ID. Elliott Will
retain his present position as United
States attorney for South Dakota; t..
G.. Kennedy will be reappointed United
states marshal, and Frank Morris, the
present surveyor general OF the state,
VIII be permitted TO serve another o

expires. This compromise liz satisfac-
cory to the republican leaders here
who were In the forefront OF the fight
igainst Congressman Gamble, but some
OF their lieutenants In the interior OF
state are yet 10 be heard from.
However, as the leaders are willing
20 accept the compromise, the lieuten-
ants in the interior OF the state will
doubtless also agree TO the arrange
ments. For the past thirty-six hours
republican leaders from various
parts OF the state have been gathering
pere. Among them are a number who
we're prominently idertined with the
movement.
All are understood 10 be In favor Of
