CAUSE OF DONATION.

" ASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-An ade
w journed meeting Of the trustees
of the Carnegie institution was
held at the state department this aft
ernOon and long step was taken
toward permanent organization and
the Initiation of work of the institu-
ton. Abraham 5. Hewitt of New York
called the meeting to order and Secre-
tary Hay was elected temporary chair
man and Charles D. WalcOtt temporary
secretary. w. &. Dodge Of New York
was elected TO the board 70 I'll the
vacancy caused by the declination Of
eX-President Cleveland, who sent a
letter regretting his inability to serve.
After the roll call Andrew Carnegie
made a brief address, presenting the

say the extraordinarily high character,

I believe this estimate has been geuer-
ally approved throughout the wide
boundary of the United States.
My first thought was to fulfill The
expressed wish Of Washington by es-
tablishing a university here. but q

decision that under the present con-

One oil lie Obstacles.

"One Of the most serious objections,
and one that 1 could not overcome. was
that another university might tend TO
weaken existing universities. Ny de-
sire was to cooperate with all educa-
tional Institutions and establish what
would be a source Of strength and not
of weakness to them, and the idea of
a Washington university or Of any
thing of memorial character was,
therefore, abandoned.
1t cost some effort to push aside the
tempting idea Of q Washington univer-
sity founded by Andrew Carnegie,
which the president of the Women's
George Washington Memorial associa-
ton was kind enough 10 suggest. That
may be reserved for another in the
future, for the realization of Washing
toms desire would perhaps justify the
linking, of another name with his, but
certainly nothing else would

The death Of M. Severe. the Brazilian in
ventor Of a dirigible balloon, may check the
progress toward the development of the
principle Of a combination Of gas bag and
motor, which forms the basis Of the San
tos-Dumont apparatus. 1t is evident from
yesterdays tragedy in Paris that there is
too much danger in the present state Of the
art to permit this close association, and in
deed that accident suggests that the San
tos-Dumont machine, representing the
safest form Of the type Of dirigible balloon
thus far produced. Is very far from solv-
ing the problem Of human flight. For Sc
vero enlarged his balloon and his motors
in order to hoist more than one person.
He tried to compact the apparatus, and so
carried the motors too close to the bag.
As long as the dirigible balloon remains
capable OF carrying only one person, or is
susceptible to the disturbing influence of
even gentle but unsteady wind, 1t will
fail Of the prime requirements Of those who
seek to supplement mans natural powers
of locomotion. .. ........,.-

There b urgent need today for moro steam

town. others to care for the outlying areas;
still others to replace old machines. There
Is need Of a nre boat, either as a separate
outfit or rs feature Of the harbor patrol
service. in conjunction with the police de-
partment. There Is need Of a better
scale OF pay for the men. There Is need
Of a larger fund for contingencies. to keep
the department up to its high standard. A
service under such high pressure as this
small one. with a reputation to sustain for
efficiency. Is subject to wearing strain
for which ample provision must be made IL
the rate Is to be maintained. 1t Is highly
creditable to the District that with such q
short allowance for fighting fires 1t has
been able to establish such an enviable
record. But every time the local depart
ment turns out to make short work Of q
blaze. els 1t did this morning, 1t Is COM
PEELED to leave the remainder OF the city
comparatively exposed to damage by a Sec
ond fire. such as might readily occur before
the first could be extinguished. A fire de-
partment only large enough to take care Of
one fire at time is not q suitable protec-
ton to the community. The realization Of
this truth by Congress in the form OF
substantial increases in the appropriation
for the fire service Is urged by the circum-
stances every time the alarm bell rings.

The Coal Strike.

tomorrow the coal miners in convention
al Hazleton. Pa, will vote on the question
OF permanently extending the strike inaug-
urated yesterday by order Of the executive
committee of the organization. The outside
observer has been little puzzled at the
meaning of the double movement, involving
preliminary stoppage of work for two
days There were two reasons for this
action: First. the miners committee
thought perhaps to frighten the operators
into granting some OF the more important
demands on which the two sides have come
to disagreement: second. the temporary
stoppage of work would enable the dele
gates to the convention to attend that gath
ertng without asking for leave Of absence
from their employers. The temporary
strike has failed thus far to accomplish the
hrst purpose. and the prospect Of peace
able settlement OF the difficulties Is not
bright. especially as the operators on their

The Local Fire Department.

A fire started today in the center Of the
business district of this city under cir
cumstances calculated to lead quickly to q
dangerous blaze. A prompt alarm sum-
moned the fire department in such short or
der that the flames were speedily under
control and soon thereafter were extinguish-
ed with only a trifiing damage. That re-
suit was the fruit Of good discipline In the
fire fighting service. It Is the usual expe-
rience IN Washington to find the fires thus
quickly extinguished, and yet there is no
city In the United States which stands so
markedly in need OF larger department
as the capital. The District spends an
nually only 80 cents per capita upon it's
dre department. yet 1t has practically the
lowest ratio OF are loss to population

The Special Embassy to England.

In discussing the special embassy to King
Edwards coronation Mr.. Bailey suggested
to Mr.. Lodge that Great Britain does not
take special note of the Inauguration of an
American President. Very true. But Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. Lodge both forgot. or
Ignored. the reason 1t Is a ceremony which
takes place every four years, and Is a fea-
ture of our routine. But suppose the DEM
onstration booked for 1903 answered in its
unusual character to that taking place in
London next month. Suppose sixty-five
years had elapsed since we had Gel
ebrated the most authoritative feature of
our national existence, and Great Britain
declined invitation to join US in an APP
propriate demonstration. standing aloof an
the expressed ground that she did not ap-
prove of a republican form of government.
How many people in the United States
would fail to set her down as a churl?
There would not be bakers dozen favor
with her from that day
The special recognition we took several
years ago of the crowning Of the Car of
Russia was highly appropriate, upon two
grounds. Russia, although a despotism,
was friendly power; and she had been our
champion in the great war between the
in New York harbor and Mr.. Lincoln was
privately advised of it's purpose should he
have declined the proffered aid and requested
the Russian commander to sail away?
Should he have INDUCED in a grand-stand
play and exclaimed. Accept the aid of a
despot to help save liberty in North Amer
lea? Never" Mr.. Lincoln was heartened
by the despot's manifestation. and had good
reason to be. For the despot, although a
despot. was known by his act of freeing the
Serfs at home the Lincoln of Russia. So,
we had accepted Russas sympathy in
our dire distress. and were still her friend,
1t was proper that we should present our
selves at the coronation of Nicholas II with
special mark Of our good feeling
1t Is absolutely certain that had Great
Britain In preparing for the coming event
signified in some way a wish that this re-
public. because of our form of government,
should take no note of the coronation. the
States would have been that of surprise
and indignation. Some of the very men
now loudest in their denunciation of mon
arches and their fiummery would have led
the chorus against so fragrant an affront to
international comfy and good fellowship
Very properly and politely, we are expected
to be present. To decline on the score that
we don't approve of that sort of thing would
be to beg the question-to be guilty of a
sort of impertinence. To refuse the invita-
ton, with the view of trading on our vir
tue for partisan advantage at the polls
here at home would be to belittle ourselves
in the eyes of the world.

Aid for the Sufferers.

1t is unfortunate that there was any OPP
position whatever In Congress to the pro-
posal to contribute American public money
to the relief of the sufferers from the great
volcanic eruptions in the West Indies. Such
objections reflect the old spirit Of isolation
which made each government attentive
only to It's own and Indifferent to the woes
of the world at large. A broader spirit OF
humanity irrespective Of boundary lines
now prevails and serves to bring the races
and the nations closer together. The two
hundred thousand dollars appropriated by
Congress for the charitable work which the
President has so promptly inaugurated
and so theoretically supervised and sup
plemented with appeals to the public
could not possibly be better spent here at
home. Doubtless IL the money were not
thus forthcoming from the treasury the
people would gladly subscribe 1t, perhaps
in even larger amount, but not quickly
enough to meet the urgent needs Of the
case.
The situation In Martinique and ST. VIM
cent demands instant action. The eruption
did not totally eliminate the populations OF
those Islands. For every thousand de-
stroyed ten thousand. perhaps, are left de-
pendent for the time upon charity. Horri-
Die as was the catastrophe Of last week.

Two Brands of Anti-Imperialist

There are at present two brands of anti
imperialists, if such designation is not too
commercial in tone to apply to gentlemen
who insist that commercialism is now the
national sin.
Brand number one is represented by men
like Edward Atkinson. who have never for
a day approved of our course in the Phil
ippines. They have insisted from the very
outset that we were wrong in our first step.
Their pet phrase has always been that
Dewey should have sailed away promptly
after sinking the Spanish fleet In Manila
bay. Their position therefore has been per-
fectly consistent. However radically one
may differ with them. one must concede
consistency. and hear them with a sort of
patience and politeness when they descant
upon our difficulties in the archipelago.
They are thoroughly we'll convinced that
they were the wise men of that day. and
they remind US with sigh and a slow
shaking of the head that had their advice
been taken the country must have ESCAPED
its sorest troubles.
Brand number two is composed of men
like Senators Teller and Patterson and
Henry Watterson, who were imperialists to
the core at the time the flag was hoisted at
Manila, and for some time after. They
talked about destiny, about obligations to
humanity, about national pride, and about
the tenacity of the AnglO-SaXon race. They
were as certain as men could be that we
had done the proper thing in taking over
the archipelago, and they had only the Sc
verest structures for those who were hold
ing lack and proposing scuttle. The flag
will remain said Mr.. Teller. I'VE will
never retire. declared Mr. Pattersons Den
yer newspaper. I'VE will be there a hun
dred years from now" exclaimed Mr.. Wat
terson with characteristic confidence, "un-
less "A stronger power turns up meanwhile
and drives us OUT These men, and many
like them who are now clamoring for scut-
tie, supported the policy of Mr.. Mckinley
with the utmost loyalty.
What has since come over the spirit Of
their dream? What has converted them
into scuttlers more aggressive even than
the original scuttlers? What explains the
fact that they are now in the lead, with
the Atknsonians merely followers? Politics?
Are they willing to reverse themselves on
the subject OF destiny, the tenacity of the
Anglo-Saxon race, and all that. for mere
temporary partisan purposes? Are they
willing to trade the Philippine Islands for
control Of the next House Of Representa-
tives? Are they scuttlers for votes only.
with the secret conviction that in the end
scuttle a policy will be impossible of ex-
ecution?

part are talking eveh Of shutting down the
mines entirely ana 30 anticipating the per-
manent strike which in all likelihood wiz
be formally voted tomorrow.
Both sides are taking heavy risks In re-
fusing to arbitrate their differences. They
are starting In motion a process which
neither can easily stop when once it has
gained Roadway. Not only are the anthra-
cite miners directly involved. but the strike
order may In quick succession AFFECT the
bituminous workers and the railroad men.
and ramifying from those labor centers to
other lines OF Industrial activity in the
course Of few weeks affect the whole
working army Of the middle east. The
country has barely recovered from the evil
effects Of the steel strike Of few months
ago and If it Is now confronted with an
other labor crisis 1t will lose heavily.
The demands Of the coal miners involve
the question Of wages, hours, weights and
company regulations. The men demand.
primarily, that the coal be weighed at the
mouth OF the mine before breaking and
screening. The operators strongly resist
this demand, claiming that the men thereby
would make a wage which they could not
afford to pay. The men contend that they
are entitled to pay for the coal they mine.
whatever may be its, ultimate form and
market weight. The operators urge that
this difference Is calculated In the wage
scale itself, and that the miners lose moth
ing by the manner Of weighing. On this
point the two sides have agreed to disagree
despite the efforts of the civic federation
arbitration committee, which has labored
earnestly to prevent a strike.
The responsibility for the crisis must rest
equally upon both sides. Each Is sure OF
the righteousness Of its position, each con-
hdent of winning, each content with tenn
porary layoff If they alone were to bear
the brunt OF the strike the public would not
greatly care as to the outcome of this
weeks proceedings But unfortunately the
families of headstrong men and the GUS
toners of equally obstinate operators will
pay the heaviest share of the cost
