CARNEGIE'S PROPOSED GIFT
Steel Corporate Bonds
minfstratiOn Opposed TO Accepting
Them.

Washington, December Fit trans
pires that the gift OF s10.o 00. 900 which
Andrew Carnegie rendered to President
Roosevelt for the founding of a great
institution for higher education was not
an offer of $40, 900, 900 IN cash, but the
par value of that amount in bonds of
the United States Steel Corporation.
The offer of these bonds is embar-
raising to the administration. owing to
the complication which might arise If
the government accepted them, and the
president, it is understood, is now in
correspondence with Mr.. Carnegie about
h matter. It is under stood to be his
desire that the bonds be converted into
cash. If this is done the only obstacle
in the path of the acceptance of the
generous gift of Mr.. Carnegie will be
removed.
Pending the result of this c~orrespon-
dence Mr.. Carnegie's offer is being
withheld from congress. The president
has conferred with several senator's and
representatives about the matter with
In the last DAY or two, and all concur
with him in the belief that the accept
ance by the government of bonds in the
big steel corporation might subject the
administration to criticism and might
prove exceedingly embarrassing in the
future. 1t is pointed out for instance
that III the event of legal proceedings
by h department Of justice in connec-
ton with the corporation the holding of
the company's bonds By the government
might lead to adverse criticism. The
suggestion that the government accept
the bonds and then dispose of them is
considered equally Objectionable.

why the Drum Was Silent

Here is a delicious story of war times
that has an unmistakable air of fresh
ness and humane interest. says the Bal
timore Sun:
The torn and tattered remnant of a
Confederate regiment one day toward
the close Of the war v as lined up by
it's colonel and told that the command
ing general was to IA a visit OF in
spection'' on the following day. The
soldiers were admon1shed to do their
prettiest."
Just brace up as though your
clothes were brand new uniforms and
as though you la the best on earth
to eat and plenty of it. We haven't any
bugles left, but Smith there has got a
drum, and it's a plumb fine one-big
as a barrel. Now, Smith. when / give
you the word tomorrow you let her
go for all she's worth" Thus spoke the
colonel.
The next day the general came to
inspect the poor half-starved fight
ers, and as he appeared In the distance
the colonel gave the order to line up
AS the commanding officer drew near
the colonel shouted: Now, Smith. le,
her goi" and turned to salute the gen.
eral.
But not a note came from the big
barrel drum.
The colonel, red in the face. turned
toward the drummer and again shout
ed his order for music"
But still the drum remained as mute
as the harp of Tara Hall fame.
Infatuated at this open disobedience
of orders and in the presence OF his
commanding officer. too. the colonel
rode down the line. and as ne reached
the refractory drummer. cried out:
Say. Smith, what in - and- dc
you mean By not beating that blanke-
ty-blank drum?"
II can't, colonel" whispered Smith
The old drum Is full OF chickens. and
half of 'em are for you"
The colonel paused but a moment
before he shouted so that the general
and the soldiers might hear:
All right, Smith, but il you were too
sick to play the - drum. why in -
and - didn't you say So"

The kaiser never mentions his father in
his speeches. He always refers to his
grandfather, William the Great. as his
ideal. his model and his inspiration. 1t is
true that the Emperor Frederick was
never crowned. His reign was limited to
a hundred days, and all that time he was
desperately i'll with cancer. He was a
good father. a splendid soldier. a pure
and honest statesman-"the wise kaiser
the people call him.
1t was this indifference to his fathers
merit and neglect Of his memory that
permanently alienated William IL. and
his mother. the late Empress Frederick.

death. Il do not understand him." she

CABINET CHANGES.

The resignation OF Postmaster General Charles
Emory Smith and the appointment in his stead OF
Henry c. Payne of Wisconsin republican National
committeeman from that State both OF which events
entirely unexpected by the country at large and
by the political wiseacres who continually pretend.
ing to know what is going happen, have furnished
proof of the old adage that 1t is only safe TO
prophesy when you know.
The rumors OF the resignation OF Secretary Gage.
which have been rife in Washington since the marked
difference between the financial part of the presidents
and the report of Secretary Gage
of the treasury noted according the latest dis
patches, seem to have been well founded. Although
official confirmation of the resignation is withheld.
Secretary Gage is universally believed to have handed
in his resignation and the official announcement Is mo-
mentarily expected 1t is said that all OF the cabinet
officers except Attorney General Knox Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson and Secretary Root will withdraw
Secretary Long, 1t is said. will resign next and then
as the canal treaties with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica are ratified the resignation OF Secretary Hay will
follow AS Secretary Hay resigns 1t is said.
Secretary Root will be made Secretary of State but
who will have the other places is not known. There
were rumors that Joseph H. Choate the present am.
bassador to Great Britain would be appointed secrea
ny state and that Secretary Hay would be appointed
ambassador to Great Britain in his stead Some have
It, however that Whtelaw Reid of New York. the edi-

Secretary Cages case, may become known Immediate

COTTON MILLING AND THE TARIFF.

Mr.. William EntwIstle. prominent cotton mill man
of North Carolina has recently taken up the cudgels
against Senator John Lowndes McLaurin. the junior
senator from South Carolina, in very able manner
Senator McLaurin, who elected a democrat,
has practically gone to the republicans and has
been trying up the iniquity OF his apostasy

milling business Twenty or thirty years ago. he
states, threeyard sheeting commanded a high price,
but now, when the country is making more of such
goods than it can consume, American manufacturers
must compete with British manufacturers and the
high tariff handicaps the American manufacturer to
enormous extent in doubling the cost of his plant.
cotton mill plant account of the tariff of the robber
barons of Pennsylvania and Massachusetts, costs $780,
600 in America, which in England costs but 5000 600
Thus the tariff destroys all of natural advantages
as the producers of raw material Mr. Entwistes own
words are noteworthy:
