CARNEGIE GIFT In
PRIVATE HANDS.
LEGISLATION NOT NEEDED.
President Will Have No Official Con-
nection With the University-
Many Applicants for
Positions.

Congress will not be called upon to
accept Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's donation
of S1O,0 900 for the founding of an in
stitute for original research and the pro-
motion of higher education.
Mr.. Carnegie, according to recent an
nouncements, has entirely changed his
plans in this respect, and has decided
that the institute will be private cor
poration.
Under District Law.
AS such it viii: be operated Under the
corporation laws of the District of Column
bia, and will in no way have any con-
nectiOn with the Government SO far as its
conduct and management are concerned.
The President will have no Official con-
-nection with the institute. except as pres
ident ex ofiicio. se
VIII NotAc
AS result of this decision Congress
will not be called upon 10 enact any legis-
lation in connection With Mr. Carnegie's
offer. Mr.. Carnegie BY following this
course will not be compelled to convert
into cash the United States Steel bonds
which the President declined to accept in
the name of the Government
TDe bonds will simply be transferred to
the board of trustees of the institution.
the expenses of which will be met out of
the per cent interest that they bear.
Plenty of Applicants.
Director Walcott, of the Geological
Survey. who is the secretary of the in
corporators of the Carnegie Institute,
said yesterday that he had already re-
ceived applications 70. positions under the
institute. and for its aid in various ways.
The popular impression that the insti
tute was to be a university, Mr.. Wal
colt said, was erroneous. 1t was not to
be in any sense. There would undoubted-
ly be a complete equipment OF laborato-
ries and instructors to enable students to
follow UP a particular line of scientific
research.
An administrative building. at least,
was also contemplated, and probably 9TH
ers. The scope Of the institute, Mr.. Wal
colt said, would even permit aid in carry
ing on Investigations by individuals in
perfecting inventions.
Meet This Month.
The board of trustees will hold their
first meeting January 20, and will elect
permanent officers, who will probably
outline the work to be accomplished and
the methods to be employed
Mr.. Walcott said the money WAS now
ready and the completion of the institute
depended upon the manaer in which the
trustees facilitated its organization and
future work

GROWS IN UNPoPULARITY.
Effort to Repeal Certain Army ReOr
ganizntion Bill Provisions.

can effort is to be made in the Senate to
repeal the provisions of the army reor-
ganization bill adopted at the last ses-
sion of Congress which provide for the
detailing OF officers of junior rank to the
bureaus OF the army for a period of four
years.
These provisions were practically
adopted by the Senate Military Commit
tee under a protest, and while unpopular
at that time, have become more so since
then. Another contention that has aroused
the members OF the Senate Military Com
mittee is that, under Secretary Roots in
depreciation of the law, the officers now
detailed TO be the heads of bureaus are
appointed for a period of four year, while
by some the appointments are considered
permanent .

object to Pensioning Mrs. Mckinley

There is a sentiment among the mem
bers OF the House that the bill pension
lag Mrs. Mckinley should not be passed.
While the sentiment has not gained suf-
rcient ground to be taken as the sense of
the House. ii is strong enough 10 delay
consideration of the bill Motives of del
icacy and respect for the late President
prevent outspoken objections being made
10 the bill, but 4 number of the members
who will probably vote for the bill if it
comes before the House are of the opinion
that its passage would be an undesirable
precedent

Secretary Root Issues n Letter to
Recruiting Officers.

Recruiting officers for the army will
hereafter be required to be most pains
taking in their efforts TO ascertain the
exact age of a recruit before enlisting

Secretary Root has sent out for general
distribution among recruiting officers
circular letter requiring them to refuse
