New York April 15.-Public an nouncement will be made after the of ficial installation ceremonies in Colum- ba college of a munificent money gift to that institution by Andrew Carnegie, according to information which reaches the press and which that paper will print tomorrow Wednesday,.
 The amount is known only to the president and to the board of trustees, but there is good reason to believe that it is not far short of l000.0 .000 This will be more than sufficient to build a college hall, chapel or dormitores to which purpose the gift is to be ap- piled.
 Mr. Carnegie up to this time has siv- en nothing to Columbia President Nicholas Murray Butler declined through his secretary to discuss the subject or to confirm or deny the story that the amount of the donation was to be made public,

CHINESE FXCT TsION BTLL.
Debate Practically Concluded In the
 Senate Yesterday.

Washington, April 15.--The debate on the Chinese exclusion bill was practi- cally concluded to-day and voting on the bill, and amendments will begin at o'clock tomorrow. By general con- sent vote was taken to-day on two important amendments, offered by MT. Fairbanks of Indiana, striking out the definition as to Chinese students and teachers and they were agreed to with out division. These changes were made with view to reconciling some of the opposition to the measure which has been directed against the rigid restric- tion on students and teachers, and the inconvenience this would impose on the educated Chinese classes coming to this country. The debate to- day was participated in by Senators Heitfeld, of Idaho; Penrose, of Penn sylvania, and Turner, of Washington; in favor of the bill and Senators Pritch- ard of North Carolina and Spooner of Wisconsin in opposition.

BELGiUM GOVERNME ENT FIRM
Wiii Not Consentto RevisiOn-A Serious
 situation Likely.


 Brussels, April 15-The government has firmly declined to yield on the question of revision and unless King Leopold should override the govern ment there seems to be nothing to pre- vent the development of a serious situ- ation.
 Tomorrow the socialist members of the chamber will present their demand for universal suffrage. This will inev- itably be defeated and it is feared that this defeat will lead to trouble, partic- ularly in the provinces.
 No noteworthy incident occurred to- day in the streets of the city The au- thorities have taken extraordinary measures to avert disorders, and the whole quarter comprising the Chamber of Deputies, the Palace and the minis tries, is kept in complete isolation from the rest of the city by cordons of the city guard.
 The strike movement in Brussels and its environment is of minor charac- ter but in the industrial districts it is to-day more formidable than ever
 The appeal of the socialist leaders for a demonstra ton at the Chamber of Deputies tomorrow has created some uneasiness A number of shopkeepers have barricaded their windows. It is rumored tonight that the cab drivers and tramway men will strike.
 London, April 16.--Tt is understood, says the Brussels correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, that at the last coun- oil King Leopold insisted upon the ne- cessity of granting universal suffrage.

B0ERS WANT AN ARMISTICE.
Great Britain Refuses and Causes seri-
 ous Hitch in Negotiations.

London, April 1.-The Daily Mall in its issue of this morning says it under stands a serious hitch has occurred in the peace negotiations in South Africa. The cabinet council has decided to re- fuse a strongly worded request from the Boer leaders at Pretoria for an ar mistice pending the negotiations.
 This alone is not likely to cause the Boers to withdraw from the conference, says the Daily Mail, but what threatens to stop the negotiations is the fact that the government declines to place the later Cape rebels upon the same foot ing as the burghers with respect to ann nesty, and is not inclined to withdraw the banishment proclamation. These features are regarded by the Boers as two cardinal points in the irreducible minimum of terms which Lord Milner, the British high commissioner in South Africa, went to Pretoria to ascertain, and in return for which the Boers agree to the loss of independence and gen. eral surrender,
 Their other demands, continues the Daily Mail, are that Great Britain shall rebuild and restock the farms, take over the legal claims and liabilities of the two republics and grant repre- sentative government within a shorter period than is now contemplated.
 The government leader, A. J. Balfour, replying to a question in the House of Commons to-day, announced that the ministers had no information to impart on the subject of the South African peace negotiations, nor under the cir cumstances, could any information be imparted at the present stage of the ne- gotiations.
 The government, MT. Balfour added, would immediately inform parliament of the fact when they had any news to 
 The British cabinet met at noon to- day. Among other business considered was the reply of the Boer leaders to the communication mention ed by A. J. Balfour in the House of Commons yesterday
