KRUGER'S AMERICAN VISIT.
Rumo rs Arise from Boer Sympaihizers. State
Of Health Will Not Permit.

New York, April 9.-Dispatches from
Holland, says the Tribune's London
correspondent, revive the rumor that
Mr. Kruger is bent upon visiting the
United States during the summer. Pri-
Nate information from The Hague
leads to the belief that his physician is
strongly opposed to any course of ac-
ton which will subject him to excite
ment. Mr.. Kruger's general health is
fair, but he has a weak heart action
and has been warned that he must live
quietly. The talk about his American
joudney comes from Boer sympathi-
zers in Holland, who are unwilling to
admit that he has exhausted the re-
sources of diplomacy and has nothing
in reserve.

Mr.. Carnegie has declared his inten-
ton to spend one million dollars
monthly for libraries, organs, &c.,
based on his expected annual income
Of $l5,000.0O0. This disposition Of
his income will leave him for personal
expenses about $3,0O0,0 900 annually,
quite fortune in itself. But, how
many men in tho world would give
away to public benefactions twelve
million dollars leaving themselves this
small portion OF the total? Amid all
the greed Cor gain Mr.. Carnegie stands
cut in unique and remarkable indi-
viduality. Solomon, Cresus nor any
Of the powerful potentates of the
worlds history furnish parallel in
character to the American iron king
and millionaire in using his wealth for
the worlds good and advancement.
It was worth the advance Of centuries
to see the triumph of u human being
over tho selfish greed mate in human
nature. Mr.. Carnegie will stand in
history as the embodiment of the idea
that human nature may triumph over
all the sel6sh contests of human life.
