NO CLASH In CHINA.
Anglo-Russian Dispute Has
Been Exaggerated.
BOTH SIDES MAY WITHDRAW.
English Papers Have Used Provoca-
tive Language, but Great Brit
ain Is In No Shape For
Another War

LONDON, March 19.-The difficulty
at Tien-tsin over the construction of a
railroad siding will probably be solved
by the withdrawal of both the British
and Russian troops from the ground in
dispute. 1t is believed here that too
much has been made of the incident, and
a more hopeful view of the affair is
taken
While hostilities are out of the ques-
ton, however, it is not unlikely that
diplomatic relations between Great Brit
ain and Russia will become strained al
most to the breaking point. Possibly
British warships may be dispatched to
bring pressure TO bear upon Russia, but
war will not result unless some fracas
quite unauthorized by London and ST.
Petersburg occurs between the opposing
forces at Tien-tsin.
This assertion is based upon exhaustive
inquiries in London. A prominent Brit
ish official, often the mouthpiece of the
government, whose position makes it
undesirable that he should be named in
this connection, said last evening: :
1T is useless for our newspapers to
use provocative language. They forget
that we have great army in South
Africa and that we have no other army
HOT the MdkluSS Oh one elsewhere. 1t Is
impossible to go to war with Russia"
A semiofficial statement was issued
last evening to the effect that the much
talked of assurances of the Russian for
sign minister, Count Lamsdorff, to Sir
Charles Stewart Scott, British embassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, were made Feb.
and evidently referred TO the Russo
Chinese agreement concluded at Port
Arthur last November and not to the
Manchurian convention.
Inquiries at the Chinese legation yes
terday afternoon were rewarded by the
reply, His excellency has gone to bed"
which was presumably the Celestial
equivalent of an assurance that the Chi
nese minister preferred to say nothing
as to the most recent developments. The
Japanese legation was equally noncom-
initial.
1t is understood that one official view
is that the dispute may eventually be
referred to arbitration.

LARGEST OFFER YET
Carnegie Pledges SIS, 100000
to New York City.
SIXTY-FIyE LIBRARIES PLANNED.
Tunifcent Gift just Announced Was
Made Before Sailing For Eu-
rOpe-City officials Discuss
the Great Work

NEW YORK, March 16.-Andrew
Carnegie who since retiring as an active
figure from the steel world has been able
to devote his time exclusively to his 9TH
er passion, the founding of libraries, has
made his departure for Europe this
spring memorable by the largest offer of
that kind ever advanced. If New York
will provide the sites and the mainte-
nance, he has promised to give SIS, 2OO, 900
to establish 65 branch libraries in this
city.
The offer, made in letter to DR.. John
s. Billings, director of the New York
Public library, last Tuesday, was made
public last night.
DR.. John s. Billings said yesterday:
"Mr. Carnegie's offer to provide Ii
brary buildings for Greater New York
at cost of over $5,0O0,000 is made
with his usual conditions, that the city
shall furnish the sites and make sat
isfactory agreement as to their mainte
nance.
IF accepted, it will result in the
greatest free public library system in the
torld. We may fairly infer that Mr.
Carnegie's idea is that the whole system
should be under one management, that
of the trustees of the New York Public
library, but this is not made one of his
conditions.
''As to the question of sites, it is not
improbable that a considerable number
could be obtained without cost to the
municipality through gifts by public spir-
tied citizens.
1T is of the greatest Importance that
the system of public schools in the city
should be supplemented by such system
of free public libraries as is proposed,
and the sooner that work can be COM
menced upon the better it will be for
the people and for the municipality as a
whole"
