ANDREW CARNEGIE
n BHng Installed
Rector of S. Andrews
University.

ST. Andrews, Scotland, October q.
reinstalled as rector OF St. Andrew 5
University, in the presence of a large
and brilliant assem5.age, over which
Principal Donaldson presided.
Mr. Carnegie's rec torial address con
sisted of a lengthy study of the COM
parative growth Of nations in the paths
of industrial ascendAHcy, with strik
ing commentary on their future. IN his
speech, which was replete with notable
statistics and important economic prop
hecies, perhaps the most re.narka Bile
feature was an appeal to Emperor
William to use his influence toward ihe
eventual creation of the United States
of Europe, under the form Of a political
industrial union. In this way alone,
Mr. Carnegie declared. can Europe con-
quer the foreign mark IT'S OF repel the
American invasion. France. Germany
and Russia, who had already taken
joint action against Japan, would suf
flee to ensure q satisfactory union IN
Europe.
The Gar" he continued, having
taken the first step toward the peace OF
the world in The Hague conference, the
other mighty emperor might some day
be impressed with the Thought that it is
due to himself and to Germany to play
a great part upon tar wider stage of
Europe, as her deliverer froIl the in

war and of ruin between members Of
her own body" dealing with the erentS
which caused the industrial supremacy,
''once yours, but now passed to your
lineal descendant, who bears the indus
trial crown, Mr. Carnegie maintained
that it was a physical impossibility for
Great Britain to produce material
things, rivaling in amount those Of
countries the size of America, Germany
and Russia, nor would a union of the
empire change the situation, for "neitn-
er Canada nor Australia give promise
of much increase in population or in
dustrialism. All thought of material
ascendancy even with the British en-
pire united must therefore be aban-
doned.''
Mr.. Carnegie spared his Scotch all
dience no details. America" he said,
now makes more steel than all the rest
of the world. In iron and coal her
production is greatest and it is also so
in textiles
She produces three quarters of the
worlds cotton. The value of her manu-
factures is about triple of that of our
own. Its exports are greater and the
cleraing house exchanges at New York
are almost double those of London.
Germany, the speaker also said, now
threatened to oust Great Britain even
from second place.

MYSTERY STILL UNEXPLAINED

AssaiEnnt.

Washington, October 22.-After how
ering between life and death since last
December. Mrs. Ada Gilbert Dennis. the
victim of one of the most mysterious
assaults in the history OF the District
of Columbia, died at the Garfield Hos
pital in this city today. With her death
the last hope OF solution of the mys-
terry has disappeared. Mrs. Dennis
came here from Gettysburg. Pa. and
married Walter Dennis. a Washington
actor. She was found December 10Th

REJECT THE TREATY
L1ndsthing Defeats Bill Pro-
vidiDg for CeSSion of DAN
ish West Indies.

Copenhagen, October 22-The Lands
thing today rejected the second of the
bill, providing for the ratification of the
treaty between Denmark and the Unit
ed States, in regard to the cession Of
the Danish West Indies to the latter
country. The vote stood % to 80. a. tie
The announcement caused the greatest
eXcitement in the house and demonstra-
tiOns on the part of the spectators.
The predominant sentiment through
out Denmark is undoubtedly pro-sale
and the rejection of the treaty is attrib-
uted chiefly to a domestic political eff
fort to embarrass the government and
bring about the resignation of the min
istry. The question of the sale. of the
islands may not remain dead for any
length of time. The inability of the
Rigsdag to agree on policy for bet
tering the conditions OF the islands, is
expected to be q factor in again forcing
the sale question to an issue.
The result of today's vote was doubt
full until the last moment. One member
had not taken a definite stand and it
was uncertain whether two sick MEM
bers would be able to attend.
The cabinet held a meeting immedi-
ately after the rejection of the bill and
the ministers unanimously agreed that
the action o. the Landsthing did not
necessitate their resignation.

William O'Brien Says American
Opinion, as Well as Irish is Being
Gagged.

London October 22-William O'Brien
created a great deal Of excitment among
his fellow nationalists in the house Cf
commons today, by questioning Prem
ier Balfour regarding President Roose-
velt's letter to the convention Of vhe
Mr. OBrien asked the premier if he had
observed that Mr.. Roosevelt sent a leE-
ter and whether in view Of future
friendly relations between the United
States and Great Britain, he could make
any announcement that this country
was indisposed to learn wisdom regard
ing Irish affairs from the head Of a
great and friendly nation.
The speaker promptly ruled the ques-
ton out Of order, TO the evident chag-
rim of the nationalists. whose excite
ment then increased as Mr.. O'Brien
continued 10 press his point. He urged
that this letter Of the president was an
internat tional fact of the first imDor-
tance TO the future Of Great Britain
and that il would not be friendly
thing to the head Of a great nation that
this letter should be treated as If the
house of commons was disposed 70
avenge an insult to the chief secretary
for Ireland and his removables."
The speaker maintained his ruling
and Mr. O'Brien tried to move an ad-
journment OF the house TO discuss the
matter but the speaker ruled that il
was not a matter Of definite Importance
Thus foiled, Mr. O'Brien said he hoped
it would be noted in America thai

Washington. October 22-An in,ima-
uon mas been received here that King
Oscar. OF Sweden. who Is acting as the
arbitrator of the issues between the
United States. Germany and Great
Britain growing out OF the Samoan re-
bellion OF 1899. will decide that the facts
presented 10 him in the briefs of coun-
sci. which have been pending for nearly
a year. warrant him in proceeding TO
assess the damages sustained by for
eign residents Of Samoa as a result OF
the landing of combined force of
American and British sailors and ma
rines, and the destruction Of property
incident to the ensuing fight with the
rebels. BY the terms OF the treaty. un-
der which the three powers agreed to
submit these claims to arbitration, the
arbitrator was first to declare whether
or not the Americans and British were
at all liable for damages. and If so.
then he was To determine the amount or
that liability. He has. 1t is understood.
concluded TO decide the first question
in the affirmative.
The next step, is to fix the amount Of
the damages, and this must be done By
King Oscar upon the basis OF the facts
now to be presented by the representa-
tives Of the governments concerned
The German claims are far larger than
the others, amounting to s103,9lS. while
the American claims a re ST7 COS, and the
British only S6,285.
1t is not the amount of money inyoIy-
ed in this approaching decision of the
Il
ment of the United States. but rather
the enunciation OF a principle. which if
accepted as a precedent. would be most
unpalatable and would so seriously re-
strict the assertion of American rights
in foreign countries, in case OF revolu-
ton or rioting jeopardiZing the lives
and property of our citizens, that IL
would amount to the total withdrawal
of protection. This can never be admit
ted, and SO it may be positively stated
that while the United States govern
ment will accept the arbitration Loyalty
and pay any damages assessed against
it, it will utterly refuse TO be bound BY
such a principle or to recognize it as
establishing a precedent.
Otherwise the United States govern
ment could be held liable for enormous
damages in cases where IL lands troops
upon the isthmus Of Panama. resulting
in a collision with rioters or rebels, even
though the government is solemnly
bound by treaty to preserve free traffic
across the isthmus.
The United States could not land ma
rines in any Of the West Indian or Cen
trail and South American ports In any
| emergency without risking liability for
| heavy damages. These considerations
| will lead TO the declination to recognize
| the decision as a precedent and Incl
| dentally TO the submission OF the next
-
the hope OF another and different de-
cision.

.BLAMES MOTORMAN
Railroad Commission Says His
ReckleSSneSS CAUSED Acct
dent and Cra g'S Death.

Boston, Mass. October 22.-In re-
port upon the accident in which Pres
ident Roosevelt's body-guard, William
Craig, was killed and the President and
Secretary Cortelyou were injured, at
Pittsfeld, last month, made public to-
day, the board of railroad commission
ers. find that the responsibility for the
accident rests with the motorman Of the
electric car which ran into the presi-
dents carriage.
Euclid Madden was the motorman.
His name is not mentioned in the re-
port.
The commissioners find that the car
was going at reckless speed and hold
that the management of the street rail
way was at fault in not establishing
rules to regulate the speed of cars at a
dangerous point like that at which the
accident happened
The report says:
The motorman had good reason 10
believe that the effort which he was
plainly making to reach the country
club before the carriage, met with the
approval of passengers, including Z
prominent director Of the company.

"A WOMAN OUTRAGED
Negro Being Hunted for At
tempted Assault on a
White Woman.
Especial to The Messenger.)

especial to Inc messenger
Goldsboro, \. c., October 22.-Sheri1
Scott received a telephone message
from Princeton tonight saying that a
young white woman had been outraged
by negro man and asking that blood
hounds be sent at once. Deputy Sheriff
Henry Grady left at { O'Clock with
dogs for the scene Of the crime.
\ later phone message brings the in
formation that the lady is the wife OF
Mr.. Hymmbrick Johnson, Jr, and that
she lives on the public road about one
mile and a quarter from Princeton.
The brute who attempted the crime is
a strange negro who had been working
in the neighborhood for about three
months. His first name is John. He
went to the home of the lady this after
noon while her husband was off at
work and while there was no one in the
house with her but her 10 months old
baby. The negro made improper pro-
posals which were resented and he then
tried to secure by force what he had
failed to accomplish by persuasion.
In the scuffle, he had torn the lady 2
clothes off and had dragged her into the
yard where he had begun to choke her
when he saw Mr.. John Daniel Edwards
coming down the road with a team and
a load of wood. The negro broke and
ran across the field to the woods and
has not been seen since. When Mr..
Edwards came up to the house he
learned the particulars of the assault
from Mrs. Johnson. Mr.. Edwards went
on to town where he told the news.
Searching parties were soon organized
and the woods are being hunted every
where for the brute who if he is caught
will have swift and terrible punishment
meted out to him.
