cARNEGlE's SATISFACTION,
Tells How He Has Induced Others to
,@ Give.

London, May 15.-The freedom O
the Plumbers company was presented
to Andrew Carnegie today at the guild
hall in a valua Bile casket of various
metals. Replying to the presentation
address, Mr.. Carnegie declared he
thought it more difficult to conscien
tiously distribute wealth than to &C
quire it. "It is the swimming tenth,
and not the submerged tenth which
we can greatly benefit" said he. Any
satisfaction which he had derived
from his gifts arose from the fact
that he had induced individuals and
communities to- give.
Il think it will be found" he added,
chat far, from being a ph%ilanthropist
l am engaged in making the best
bargains of my life. For instance,
when New York had been given ov-
Ell a million pounds for seventy-two
libraries I succeeded in getting a
pledge from her that she would fur
nish sites and maintain these libraries
forever. Her investment Ct hope this
may not go across the Atlantic to
alarm herr is greater than mine. This
is not philanthropy. It is a clever
stroke of business. l am open to
propositions of a similar character
from cities in any part of the English
speaking world"
Mr.. Carnegie gave numerous in
stances of how through the inventive
genius of Great Britain her sgiant
child America owes her present posi-
adding that all the English
could ever learn from America never
could be compared with what Amer
had received from England.
Dealing with international relations
Mr.. Carnegie said he rejoiced to say
that never in his day had the Ameri-
can people and government been so
lovingly inclined towards the old
home as at present, and never had
the patriotism of the race, the COM
ing force in international affairs, re
vealed itself so clearly. He conclud- |
with saying that the possibility of |
English-speaking peoples killing
each other on the plea Of civilized
warfare was banished, and that in
the event Of a difference. mo govern
ment on either side of the Atlantic
could resist the offer of the other of
and it can scarcely be be-
ieved that a serious quarrel can ever
arise when that offer will not be
made by one or the other" !

eRIToNs NOT DOING WRONG.
Decision Of President Roosevelt az
"a ChaInnef+a

to Chaimette.
Washington, May 16.-As the pres
dent, after considering the report Of
Col. Crowder, has decided that he
cannot interfere with the cattle ship
ments at Port Chalmette, La, and as
the executive is the only branch of
the government clothed by the con-
%stitution to pass upon the application
of the laws of neutrality, as expressly
affirmed very recently by the Louisi-
ana courts, it is not believed here
that the Louisiana state authorities
will seek to make an issue with the
federal courts by undertaking to do
what the president himself has not
seen fit to do. Il
1t is presumed that in due course
the executives decision, will be COM
m%unicated to the governor of Louisi-
ana, who first brought the Port Chal-
meete operations to the attention Of
the national government.

CREEK ON A RAMPAGE.
Summer Kitchen and OutbuiIdings
Washed Away.

Missoula, May 16.-The Rattle
snake creek is higher than it has ever
been in the history of the oldest set
tiers and the rushing current is
creating considerable havoc in this
city.
Otto Seigel's residence, which is sit
uated at the mouth of Rattlesnake,
where that stream empties into the
Missoula river, is the worst sufferer.
The stream usually runs fully sew
enty-five feet east of his residence,
but yesterday when the water began
to rise so rapidly it overlooked the
bank and formed a new channel right
in the ear of Mr.. Seigel's residence,
and in a few hours had undermined
his summer kitchen and outbuildings
and washed them away.
The stream kept on cutting in and
%encroachng until at dark last night it
was undermining the real portion Of
the residence and if the water does
not recede before morning, the entire
residence will be precipitated into the
raging torrent.
This sudden rise of the stream is
occasioned by the warm weather of
the past few days, followed by a
heavy rainfall. The rain evidently
extended up into the mountains and
melting the SHOWS to the volume of
water that was rushing down.

amendments to the agricultural ap

the house today and the bill was sem
to conference. The bill opening to

100000 acres, was passed.

The naval appropriation bill was
then taken up and an agreement

until 4 p. m. today. WI
Mr.. .Grosvenor of Ohio said he
thought the time had come for a
careful investigation of the question
of building warships in government
yards in order that the exact facts
might be determined. He did not
go so far as some of the advocates of
government construction in asking
that all the new ships be built in gov
eminent yards, as that would afford
10 basis for comparison. In lieu of
this, he proposed that n battleship,
M armored cruiser and n gunboat
be built in a government navy yard.
and one of each class in a private
yard, thus giving a comprehensive
test of government and private con-
.sstruction, under substantially similar
conditions.
Mr.. Jones of Washington spoke of

Puget Sound district, and gave many
facts concerning this section of the

ence Of a large audience, President
Roosevelt today laid the corner stone
of the Mckinley memorial Ohio col

political science.
Hanna's Tribute.
Senator Hanna, whose voice trem-
hled with emotion, said in part:
THAT corner stone has beneath it
a foundation more enduring than
granite. 1t is immortality, and that
was the foundation of McKinley's life.
Upon this subject I cannot speak as
I would, my friends. The memories
which come on me on an occasion like
this are too painful to dwell on.
"Our martyred president is here to-
day in spirit and if the sacrifice were
needed that we might search our
hearts to learn wherein we could do
higher and nobler deeds-if that ex-
ample were necessary to inspire the
young men of this country to broader
and more liberal and higher motives
of social and governmental life, then
indeed: His will. not ours, be done"
The speech making closed with a
brief address by President Roosevelt
who said:
Roosevelt's Address.
Ladies and Gentlemen: l am to
say but a word; nothing more may
be said than has bbeen said already
by those who have addressed you this
afternoon-the statesmen who worked
with Mr.. Mckinley and the pastor
under whose Illustrations he sat.

longing to that religious organization
