Glad to Help Washington ii. Ills Lifs's Work

New York, April 24-Just before leaving for Europe to-day Andrew Car negie said respecting his gift of s60o,- 900 to Tuskegee Institute: Booker T. Washington is doing a great work for humanity and for his race. His race have more. than ordinary disadvantages to overcome and he is leading them toward settlement of their troubles through lifting them by education. am glad that I am able to. help him on his life's work. The race problem will be settled, I believe, by education and in such a way as MT. Washington is now directing that policy
 E MT. Carnegie, it Is said, admitted to a friend that he had other requests for money which he would probably have time to consider on his way across. It was hinted that other gifts might soon be made public.
 Among those who had an interview with MT. Carnegie just before he sailed was Charles M. SchWab, president of the United States Steel Corporation.
 Mr. Carnegie not only contemplates a visit to his estate, Skibo Castle, Scot land, but it is said he will visit Nor- way on yacth and make an extended cruise to many ports for his health.

NANTUCKET HOTEL BURNED.
A General Scare in Ghe City Through
 Fear of ConflasratIOn,

Pawtucket, R. l., April 24.-Fire in the Benedict House hotel tonight led to fire scare in the city and for some time a general confiagration was fear ed, the dense smoke hanging over the business section as if large area was involved. The financial loss was $14,- 900. fallinf chiefly upon Ransom c. Tay- Tor, of Worcester, owner of the house, and James DonnelIy, lessee of the ho- tel Proprietors of stores on the first floor shared in the balance of the loss and all had partial insurance. The fire originated in the basement and spread to the second floor while guests were at supper.
 Two women tried to reach their rooms to save valuables, but were overcome by smoke and were rescued by officers. Not only was PaWtucket's entire fire fighting force at work, but Central Falls sent its apparatus, and between them the house was saved from total de- struction. It is four-story wooden structure.

 Bristol, R. l., April 24.-The Reliance was warped into the stream and an- chOred off the Herreshoff shops this af- ternoon, where the boat Will remain un- til tomorrow morning. Then sails will be hoisted and she will start on her trial trip. Shortly before leaving the wharf, where the boat has been ever since the launching, the club topsail spar and other portions of the racing gear were taken on board.

KING TO VISIT POPE.
Great Satisfaction at the Vatican Caused by Amour cement.

by Announ cement.
 ,. Rome, April 24-Great satisfaction is felt at the vatican at the official an- nouncement that King Edward will visit the pope, although some arrange ment by which the British sovereign would not have to start from the, enl- bassy for the vatican would have been preferred. The concession that his majesty start from the embassy met with strong opposition from some of the vatican advisors and was only ov- ercome through the personal interven- tion of the pope, who said he would not allow details of form to interfere with a meeting which he much desired, as he wished to maintain, with King Edward the same good relations and friendly intercourse he had had with his mother.
 At the Quirinal, where the point is always made not to interfere with the relations the guests desire to maintain with the pope, thus demonstrating the complete independence of the papacy it is remarked that the vatican, in al- lowing King Edward to start from an embassy accredited to the king of Italy, a concession hitherto constantly refused, has created a precedent that may in the future prove most embar- rassing to the holy see.

London Comment.

London, April 25.--The daily papers this morning, while protesting at the cynical and almost brutal methods of the Russian move in Manchuria. take different views as to how this action should be met. Very little surprise is expressed at the tenacity displayed by Russia in holding onto Manchuria. Lit tie also has been expected since Russia built the railroad, and no one has thought for moment that China would be able to make an effective resistance. It is recognized that the United States, Great Britain and Japan are the only powers likely to protest; France is ex- pected to agree to anything that Rus sia does, and Germany is considered as indifferent.
 The opposition papers attack the gov ernment for it's tsWeak-kneed policy in China" and contend that it ought to have secured some equivalent if Russia is to have Manchuria.
 The Daily News, referring to the claim of the United States for treaty ports in Manehuria, which Russia is opposing, says:
 Tt is their quarrel and not ours. It is to our interest to some to terms with Russia in Asia and let her have Man churia if she will leave us alone in In- dia.''
 The Standard thinks that this virtual seizure of Manchuria cannot be allowed to pass without the strongest protests, and something more. This paper says: 'eTlie United States has strong claim to act decisiVely as vindicators, with no political ambitions of arriere pensee of the policy of the open door in eastern 2 Asia" '-t

A FORCIBLB JOINT PROTEST
To ToBEMADEBYPOWERSAGAINST
 RUSSIAN DEMANDS.
British Minister Confirms the Pub- lishsd synopsis of the Note Addressed to China by the Russian Represents. tive-An Absolute Breach of Faith on Iho Part of Russia.

London, April 25.-The Associated Press learns that there is in contempla- tion forcible joint protest on the part of Great Britain, the United States and Japan against the Russian demands in the matter of the sovereignty of Man churia. tq5r
 Sir Ernest Satow, British minister to China, in g dispatch to the foreign off, flee has confirmed the published synop- sis of the note addressed to China by M. Plancon, Russian charge d'affaires at Pekin. Further official advices re- garding the intentions of the Chinese government and explanations from St. Petersburg are awaited anxiously. In the meantime the British government is not taking active measures, although Foreign Secretary Lansdowne intends to circulate pour parlers looking to joint action from Washington, London and Tokio, provided further information sustains the present abstract of the Russian demands.
 The Associated Press is authorized by the foreign office to state that, if the Chinese government correctly repre- sents Russia's claims, these claims constitute an absolute breach of all the undertakings given in connection with Manchuria and utterly abrogate the principles of the open door, territorial division and international comity to which the British government constant ly and publicly has committed itself. It is added that in these principles Great Britain always has acted in con- cert with the United States, and it is presumed that similar. feelings exist at Washington. Nothing, however, is def initely known, as, with the exception of the British minister to China, no British ambassador has yet reported.
 It is pointed out that Russia's expla- nation may throw different light on her demands, although in official circles here there is frank expression of the belief that Russia has no intention of evacpating Manchuria and that she hopes, after demanding the maximum, to secure a compromise.
 Peking, April 24.-According to the Chinese story when Prince Ching, the grand secretary, received the Russian demands he returned the document set ting them forth to the Russian charge daffaires and refused to consider them. The first secretary of the British lega- tion and the Japanese minister coun- ,, selled Prince Ching to remain firm, and . insist upon the restoration of Manchu- ria according to agreement, which stip- ulates that the Chinese government shall be replaced in Manchuria in all / respects as it was before the war.
 The United States has not yet taken formal action in the premises.
 Japan is more strongly opposed than any other power to Russia s aggression, but it is not believed here that she will go to the length of war.

ILLINOIS HOUSE FIGHT.
Representatives Vote No Confidence in
 Speaker Miller.

Speaker Miller.
 Springfield, Ills, April 24.-The Hi nois house of representatives to-day by a vote of 72 to 60 declared mo confi- dence" in its presiding officer, Speaker John H. Miller, whose alleged unwar- ranted use of the gavel in furthering a proposed enactment affecting rich street railway franchises in Chicago, led to a riot yesterday. A committee of five, all personal followers of the speaker, had been appointed by him to investi- gate the charges of attempted bribery, in connection with the passage of the Mueller traction bill. There was a strong feeling among the anti-Miller legislators that there was a possibility of whitewash and steps were taken to increase the committee in such a manner as to have the speakers ap- pointees in the minority, if anything in the line of whitewash should be attempted. The Miller men fought hard to retain the committee as originally appointed, but were outvoted, and the report of the committee was made a special order for next Tuesday morn ing. A subpoena issued for George w. Hinman of Chicago was made return able at the same time. It is the inten- ton of the house to interrogate regard ing the facts, upon which an editorial in the Chicago Interocean alleging bribery in connection with the Mueller bill, was based.
 The anti-Miller men came into repre- sentative hall to-day determined to force the speaker to prove his charges or withdraw them. If he could not readily be induced to act, they had de- cided that no business should be trans acted in the house until he had com piled with their demand.
 They had their own way in every thing from first to last, and the speak er's forces were defeated at every point.

NO INQUIRY FOR FUNSTON
HIS REQUEST FOR ONE REFUSED
 BY VAR OFFICE.
Charges Asainst His Condact In the phiiIppinsa Not Sustained -secretary Of War, However,, Grattfisd at the GeneraI,s Willingness for Thorough - Inyestiga tfon.
Investigat ton.


 Washington, April 24.By direction of |;the secretary of, war. Judge Advocate
 General Davis to-day addressed letter to Brigadier General Funston refusing
 his request for court of inquiry to in-. vestigate his conduct in the Philippines. The text of the letter is as follows: II have to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 18th ulto. ill which you request that court of in- quiry be appointed to investigate eer-t tain allegations contained in letter
 addressed to the president by Herbert Welsh of Philadelphia inawhich it IS
 charged that on or about February 10s | 1899, certain orders in respect to the treatment of prisoners of war were giv- en by you to the regiment of which you were at that time the colonel; as con- sequence of which two prisoners of war were put to death during the progress of an engagement with the enemy at 1 Caloocan, provinc of Luzon, P. l., by officers or enlisted men of the 20th Kan l sas volunteers.
 t.The secretary of war directs me to express his satisfaction with your att tituie in respect to the above mention- ed allegations as expressed In your ur- gent request that the incident be made | the subject of an exhaustive investiga- l ton by a tribunal having power to ad- minister paths and to compel the at | tendance of witnesses. He is especially gratified at the disposition manifested | by you to waive all technicalities which stand in the way of a thorough inquiry and with the statement with which your l letter concludes that if court of in- quiry finds that gave any orders be- | fore the engagement at Caloocan or be- | fore any other engagement in which I participated in the Philippine Islands, l that would justify the giving of no quarter, that I will at once resign my
 commission in the United States army ''The matter has already been made | the subject of official investigation upon three separate occasions. In one of these investigations, which occupied ! sixteen days of continuous examination an officer authorized to administer oaths 1 to witnesses and exercising his author ! ity, wherever necessary examined over I 200 witnesses. Neither in that nor in
 any other Investigation was there any testimony elicited showing or tending 1 to show that orders directing the killing
 of prisoners of war had been given by | you at any time, or any circumstances.
 on the contrary, the evidence leaves no | reasons fnr dO11ht that tha cba roo 1,,o c
 without foundation. The secretary is, l therefore, of opinion that the public in-
 terests will not be served by further
 prosecution of the inquiry and directs
 that you be so advised"
