Pittsburg, Nov. 1.-TWO million dol

founded AMI the polytechnic school
which he proposes to build, is what An
drew Carnegie has given Pittsburg this
year. What he will give for the erection
of buildings FOL the school he did not
say He told tn. trustees to go ahead
with their plans .or the buildings and
send him the bill. no matter whether
the cost is one of tea million dollars.
The trustees will have plans drawn and
an estimate of the cost made. These
will be submitted to Mr.. Carnegie None
of the trustees will say wat the 5uild-
ings and equipment will cos, but 1t will
be at least s5,000000.
The committee on plan and scope, to
which the matter was referrel some
months ago. suggested sixty-flv. acres
of land and s10,0O0.O00 for erectien of
buildings, equipment. and endowment
Mr.. Carnegie wanted the school near
the present institute buildings but such
large tract is not obtainable. To gel
such site in any suitable location
would cost at least 100000. 1t was
feared tax payers would object to this.
A tract of eleven acres belonging to
Mary E. Schenley of London. adjoining
the institute, is under option by the
city, which wanted the land for an eX-
tension to Schenley park. This has beer
chosen for the school.
Mr.. Carnegie said the eleven-acre site
is large enough for a beginning. He
said If the city binds itself to give this
site he will put up the buildings and
equip them. The city officials said tina
there will be no trouble in getting the
ground wanted.
Mr.. Carnegie then stated he would
increase the million dollars he gave a
year ago for the endowment of the
school to 100000 This. he said, would
be in s per cent gold bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation, yield
ing 100000 income annually. To the
existing institute endowment he added
81 100000. This makes 100000 endow-
ment for the institute.
During his visit Mr.. Carnegie pur-
chased two paintings which are on ex-
hibition in the art galleries. One is by
a struggling young artist, whose can
yass caught Mr.. Carnegie's eye.

THE ROCK ISLAND CUTOFF.
Two Lines Surveyed for the Kansas
City Short Line.

City Short Line.
Des Molnes, Nov 13-The Rock
Island has surveyed two lines for what
is known as the Kansas City CUTOFF
one from Drakevlle. Ia, to Trenton,
Mo-, eighty miles, and the other from a
point near Fiorls, Ia, to Trenton,
lightweight miles. 1t has not been de-
cided which route will be selected, nor
is it true. as has been stated in the
press, that contracts are to be let at
once. Grading is in progress from
Brighton to Perlee, Ia, eight miles, and
1t Is hoped to have the cutoff, which
eliminates both a heavy grade and a
sharp curve ready for operation by
January l.
On the extension from Liberal to
Santa Rosa, New Mexico, 264 miles of
track have been laid, to point fifty
seven miles northeast of Santa Rosa,
and the rails are being put down at the
rate of two and half miles per day.
There will some delay on account of the
grading, but it is expected to complete
the work by January l, by which time
all the track will be laid on the extern
sion of the Ell Paso & Northwestern
from Corrizozo TO Santa Rosa. 12S miles.
AT last reports siNty-eight miles OF
track had been laid on the latter. and
work was being pushed. The Dawson
branch of the line will extend from Tu-
cumcari northwest to lawson, New
Mexico, about 1873 miles Two lines have
been surveyed. The AnodorkoFt. Sill
branch of the Rock Island is completed
from Anodorko to Lawton, Ok, thirty
seven miles, and surveys are in pro-
gresr for an extension from Lawton to
a connection with the main line at some
point north of Red river, about forty or
fifty miles.

He is not counted AMONG those who be-

to the belief that If there is to be any
legislation in this direction the maxi
mum and minimum system of tariff
schedules now in vogue in France and
other foreign countries is perhaps good
way to reach the question. He believes
that by this system the president may
adjust the tariff to conditions as they
develop in our commercial relations with
other nations.
