NOT IN ITS PRESENT FORM.
Roosevelt Objects to Government Holding
Steel Trust Bonds.

Washington, Dec. 16.-It is said to be
definitely settled that President Roose-
welt will not accept the offer Of Mr..
Andrew Carnegie of SO, OOO, 600 bonds in
the United States Steel Corporation for
the purpose of founding an institution
for higher education in this city.
The views of prominent senators and
representatives as they have been given
to the president are practically unani-
nous against the acceptance of the offer
in it's present shape.
The provision attached to the offer
that the government shall hold the bonds
for term OF years, is considered espe-
cially Objectionable.
The president, however, is very hope
full that an adjustment can be made by
which Mr.. Carnegie can convert the
bonds into cash or United States bonds,
and that the gift can be accepted in that
form.
