Morgan-AndreW Carnegie'S Gift <to
 Scotland University Causes a Whole Lot of Newspaper Talk-The Wheat
 Harvest in England is Very Uncer-
 tain.
 London, May 25.-The St James Ga zette, i'll an editorial headed .'The An glo Saxon Millennium" commenting on q pessimist'S proposal that ankee Doodleo be made the national anthem that the American language be made compulsory in the schools and that the coronation of J. Pierpont Morgan De arranged for June or July next, says:
 But there is q bright side of the Americanization of this insignificant country. It ought to make war impos- sible. How can the patriotic Amefl- can suffer from Anglophobia when he loves England so much that he wants to be her owner? How could he sink merchant ships in which his own money is invested? War would ruin his industrial enterprises, stage, press and locomotive companies, philan- thropic schemes, aristocracy, race rid ing-in fact. everything except our ag- riculture, which has ceased to exist.

 London, May 25.-"We trust in Scot tish pride to rise in it's wrath against this invasion of the almighty dollar, says the Review of the Week, com menting on Andrew Carnegie's munifi- cence to Scotlands university. Many of the oldest and best families in Scot la1ld,' continues the periodical, send their sons to Scottish universities, where they pay the fees, like. the sons of their humblest neighbors, neither more nor less. Is it to be believed that this will continue if the fees are paid for them by MT Carnegie? Imagine the Duke of Hamilton, Cameron of Lochiel, or Macdonald of the Isles all lowing his heir to get educated at the cost of an American iron monger We shall next hear of some Chicago pork packer proposing to buy up Oxford and Cambridge and dictating terms of admission and the subjects to be taught; or, of Boss Croker forming q lobby to control the London university, with the object of intoxicating Tam many principles in the mind of the ris- ing generation of Cockneys."
 London, May 25.-The Mark Lane Express, commenting upon the adverse weather conditions, says.
 At present there is no probability of the wheat harvest beginning in July even in Sussex and Thanet, while in East Anglia it is not likely to be gath cred before the third week in August. The present cereal rear, therefore, will have to find food for fifty five weeks.
 Reports from Austria-Hungary show over an average wheat promise in the Austrian Tyrol, Hungary, Bo- hemia and Silesia fair average in Croatia and Bosnia and below the av- craze in Galicia and Pennsylvania
 In Algeria the harvest is beginning and a good yield is anticipated.

 New York, May 25.-The steamship Shinnecock of the Joy liIf met with an accident early to-day as she was entering the slip at the foot of Gather inc street and the East river, and in consequence will have to be withdrawn from the service between this city and weeks for repairs, thus crippling the line, which has no steamship to take it's place.
 The Shfnnecock brought from Provi- dence heavy cargo and 400 passen- gers, and on entering the slip the strong tide carried the starboard side against the end of the pier with such force as to break the strong back which protects the paddle wheel. A tug had to be called to get the ship into its berth.

To the Editor of the Democrat:

I saw in last nights Democrat an ar -ficle relating that Wallace Scofield was one of the strikePs who returned to work. He wishes to say that he is not one of the strikers; he is an assist ant foreman at Farrel foundry and was not at work when the strike took place, as he had been at home sick for the last six weeks, but returned to work this morning, only to be insulted by the crowd. He had told number of union men three weeks ago his views and said at that time he would not join them

THE BROOKLYN HANDICAP.
Run at Sheepshead Bay This After
 noon.

New York, May 25.-Again there is heavy track for the Brooklyn handi- cap. All day yesterday the track was as fast as lightning and the day was like one in summer, but at sunset a heavy thunderstorm broke over the Gravesend course. This was followed by showers at intervals during the night and early this morning the track was sea of mud. The candidates for the handicap were out early to-day taking their final work but did nothing more than canter around the course With dash through the stretch. Then they were taken back to their stables 10 rest until the bugle calls them to the post at about 4 80 o'clock.
 The winner of the Brooklyn handi- cap, Banastar, is generally conceded to rate higher than any other of the probable starters, and will likely carry the most of the money, going to the post fayorite. The value of the stake is about $10,000.
 New York, May 25.-A1though Ban aStar's chances are favored by the mo- jority, it is realized that he must rkck up top weight and carry it through holding mud and beat number of horses which are recognized as first class. If he succeeds in adding this years Brooklyn to his list of victories his name will live in the history of the American turf.
 Raffaeio revels in the mud and he is great weight carrier. If he should be in a good position when the turn for home is made then his packers will have cause to rejoice. Trainer James Rowe will start the Keene 3-year-old Conroy. MT Rowe says he expects this son of St Leonard's to win. If he does he will have accomplished what no other horse of his years has ever done. No three-year-old has ever won the Brooklyn.
 The little field horse Watercure will be backed by the New Jersey contin- gent. Prince McClurg has received quiet preparation for the race. His final trial was much better than that of any other horse named as a starter. But it should be borne in mipd that the horse which works best in the morning is not always the best in the afternoon.
 It is estimated that over 25,OOO peo- pie will be at the Gravesend track this afternoon

Queer Home ot Parisian Tramps.

A special to the New York World from Paris says: When the great Fer ris wheel which was made ready to resume business after its win ter closing, two families of tramps, comprising IT. members, with some women and chil- dren, were discovered installed and living comfortably, in two of the swinging cars. ,.-.s -, ...,
 These bohemians told the police they had been camping out thus all winter. They first entered the cars one bleek night, when they were wan dering homeless in the streets. They scaled the fence im search of shelter and found the deserted wheel in the inclosure so comfortable that they re- mained, sleeping nights on the cush- toned benches of the cars.
 They first selected the lowest cars, but one day two engineers who had been sent to examine the machinery for some reason made the great wheel describe half turn. So the camping families, never daring to make sign, were hoisted to the topmost position. Since that time only one man, for mer sailor, could communicate with the earth.
 Climbing down nightly from the giddy height by means of the girders and guy ropes, he- would hustle for food to keep the two families alive. He would steal enough charcoal from the river barges to make smokeless fires and prevent the people from freezing at night, though the least sun would make; the glassed cars like hot houses. The provisions were hoisted up with rope.
 Their curious existencelasted for two months undetected, and on February 22 baby girl was born up there. In consideration that She is a healthy little angel the commissary of police released the whole party.
 The wheel company not only re- fused to press the charge of trespass- ing, but offered the mother and in fant a salary of $50 a month toex hibit themselves throughout the com ing season in the car in which the child was born.
