COMMANDER YOUNG RELIEVED.
His Remarks Regarding the CuDah
REGARDED With Omcial DisapprOval.

REGARDED With Omcial DfsapprOVal.
lieutenant Commander Lucien Young OF
the navy has been summarily relieved from
duty as captain of the port of Havana ana
nlaced on waiting orders. This action was
taken by Secretary Long yesterday after
noon. and is intended as a mark of official
disapproyaI of the officers recent public
utterances in regard to Cuban affairs.
Commander Young recently came to the
United States on leave of absence, and on
visiting his home in Louisville was given a
banquet On that occasion he mace
speech which was telegraphed throughout
the country. He was represented as hav-
ing said that the people of Cuba were un-
fit for self-government, and that the only
salvation of the island was its annexation
to the United States.
On passing through Washington few
days ago on his way back to Havana ne
called at the Navy Department and was
questioned by Secretary Long in regard to
the published interview. He prac-
tically admitted having made the
statements attributed to him, but
disclaimed all idea or intention or
their becoming public In other words, ne
was simply expressing his private views to
a party of friends and not talking for pub
lication. The matter was submitted to the
President, and the conclusion was reached
that Lieutenant Commander Young's fur
ther usefulness at the Havana capital had
been impaired by his criticism Of the Gu
ban people.
Owing to his fine record the officials are
disposed to be lenient with Commander
Young, and it is said that there will be no
further action in his case. Commander
Young Is well known as the hero Of the Ill
by the Kentucky legislature for his gal
lantry on that occasion.

AGAINST ANARCHY. -
Bill to BE Prepared by House Judici.
ary Committee.

Anarchy was discussed this morning by
the House committee on the judiciary at
it's first meeting held today. All of the
numerous bills which have been introduced
in the House on this subject were tenta-
lively gone over by the committee, after
which it was unanimously decided to refer
the whole matter to a subcommittee to be
appointed by Chairman Ray. The SUBJ
committee will be instructed to prepare a
measure embodying the practical provi-
sions of the various bills into a single
measure which the committee can act on
and report to the House.
In this connection there has developed a
little strife exhibited on the part of the
conmittee on immigration and naturaliza-
ton, of which Representative Shattuck of
Ohio is chairman. 1t is the belief Of this
committee that 1t should be given a part
in the work to be done on this legislation.

Mr.. CARNEGIE'S GIFT
1t Was in Bonds of the United States
Steel Company.
EMBARRASSING COMPLICATIONS
President Consulting With Lead
ers as to Solution.
SATISFACTORY OUTCOME

The important fact was ascertained to-
day that the $4,000 coo gift which Andrew
Carnegie rendered to President Roosevelt
Tor the founding of a great institution for
hlgher education in this city was not an
offer of S10.O0O.OOO in cash, but the par
value of that amount in bonds of the
United States Steel Corporation. The offer
OF these bonds is embarrassing to the ad-
min1stratiOn. and that is why so much
secrecy has been maintained. The ticklish
part of the situation is found in the compli-
cations which might arise from the United
States owning and administering bonds of
a corporation which sooner or later NAV
be proceeded against by the Attorney Cen
eral as violating the antitrust laws of the
country. Assuming that such a serious
situation should never arise, the political
phases of accepting bonds in corporation
against which there Is a great deal Of
popular discomfort will be Immediately ap-
preciated. To accept the gift of the bonds
ana then sell them might be open to severe
criticism.
Intricate Questfons Involved.
The many intricate questions involved
nave caused the most profound secrecy at
the White House, and every effort has
been put forth to prevent the facts from
being made public.
NHS OF WIN pc dCCtpleu IN some
shape is the belief of those who have con-
ferred with the President Just what
shape Is the subject now under considera-
ton. The most interesting suggestion vet
made is that the President ask Mr. Car
negte to convert the bonds into cash and
turn over to the government the money
about the acceptance of which there could
be no possible doubt. The whole matter is
being considered by the President, who is
talking to trusty republican leaders of Con-
gress and asking their advice
Mr. Carnegie's large gifts recently have
all been in bonds of the steel corporation
1t is said These bonds will sell anywhere
at par. So the bonds are easily worth
S10.000,000 in cash.
A Message to Congress.
When the solution of the problem is
reached IN the Presidents s mind he will i'm
medlately send a message to Congress ad-
vising sucn action as he regards proper
The opinion prevails that the knotty prob
lens can De solved in a short while without
giving a subject for wholesale gossip and
criticism There is considerable surprise
that Mr. Carnegie. when rendering the gift
uld not think of the complications likely to
arise He could have sold the bonds and
turned In the cash 1t is suggested that he
was thinking that the bonds realized so
much more interest than cash put out at
interest could do that the gift in the shape
OF bonds was much more valuable than
cash.

. bates in Congress reach moreSpeople.
Mr. Hale took occasion to-, remark that

however.

factures, submitted favorable report on a

To Consider Treaty In Open Session.
Senator Clapp introduced a resolution in
favor of considering the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty in open session. The senator, from
sense of humor, upon reading the full re-
ports of the proceedings of the executive
session in the newspapers, worded his reso-
luton as follows:
Whereas, the published reports of the
speeches made upon the subject of the rati-
fcation of the so-caIled Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, are not as full as they might be;
and
fully reported If taken by the official stem
ographers of the Senate, therefore be it
Resolved, That hereafter the discussion
OF the said treaty be made in open session
Of the Senate -ts
Senator Clapp and several of his sena-
torial friends stood together and enjoyed
the reading of this resolution, which Gre
ated considerable amusement. The resolu-
tion will come up in the Senate Monday
and may then be commented upon If in the
meantime the Senate has not already rat
flied the treaty.
Mr.. Money Criticises the Treaty.
On motion of Mr.. Lodge the Senate at
pm. went into executive session.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was immedi-
ately taken up, and Senator Money (Miss.)
made speech giving his views upon that
agreement. He said he would not delay
ratification but that he considered some
Of the features of the treaty Objectionable.
His principal criticism was that this
treaty, like the original Hay-Pauncefote
convention, fails to furnish sufficient guar
anty Of American control of the proposed
Nicaragua canal.
Senator Foraker followed Senator Money.
He urged the speedy ratification of the
treaty, and contended that 1t meets all the
objections made in the Senate to the pre-
ViOus treaty.

BRIGANDS FEAR MISS STONE.
Complain of Her Efforts to Convert
Them to Christianity.

CONSTANTINOPLE, December 12.-The
latest information regarding Miss Ellen NJ
Stone, the American missionary, and
Madame Tsilka, her companion, indicates
that their condition has been so far amelio-
rated that they are able to obtain rude
comforts. 1t is even said that the brigands
have a doctor ready at hand in case his
services should be needed.
1t appears that the brigands are now
complaining that Miss Stone is attempting
to convert them to Christianity. While
recognizing the illegality Of the abduction
Of Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka, the
brigands contend that their action was in
the interest of a sacred cause and there
fore juStifiable.
