Carnegie Believes Great Britain Can't
 Hold the Territory.

New York, December l7.-At a meeting here Wednesday of the Armstrong associ- ation Andrew Carnegie surprised his hear CTS by asserting that he believed Great Britain would surely some day lost South Africa.
 He said:
 Tt is about as certain as we are living that Great Britain will lose South Africa, because the Dutch poole there is increas- ing while the British are not. The Kaf- frs wont work. What would Great Brit ain give for nine million negroes, as placable and lovable as those in this coun- try? These men give us about 100000 bales of cotton every year and this, l con tend, helps make the United States the most powerful nation in the world. Sup pose fleet of British warships should at tack Us. The President as commander-in- chief of the army and navy need only raise his hand and say stop exporting cotton and the war would be won. What hapy country this Is to have the negro. My knowledge of the question leads me to the opinion that no political measure can ever save or benefit the negro. The

 A few days since several prominent cit izens were standing near the court house and noticed sparrow light on one of the hands of the clock, in a few seconds several more sparrows lit beside the one on the clock hand, and the weight of the birds caused the hand to move five min uates. The sparrows have been watched and it is now fact that all the trouble and annoyance to the county officials has been caused by the English sparrows

Washington Was Not UnmindfuI.


 The administration at Washington was not unmindful of the situation, and the President took the steps indicated by the telegrams and from which the sena- tor from Massachusetts derives such con clusions"
 MT Foraker concluded his remarks by stating that there was no real ground for criticism of the course of the agree ment in the Panama matter, not even that the democrats might take advantage of. He deplored the discussion of the matter In open session of the senate, however
 Mir. Mitchell of Oregon then made a speech in advocacy of the bill to aid the Lewis and Clark exposition at Portland, Ore. He said that almost half million dollars should be raised by the sale of stock of the exposition company and that over S700,0OO had been raised by different states for the purpose of making exhibits, making total of s,126, 9O7 of available money for the enterprise.
 MT. Mitchell said that if the United States could afford to contribute over s6OOOO 600 to the St Louis exposition 1t could afford to give one-third of that amount to the Portland exposition. The following bill was passed:

From Fairment 10 Washington
Pa.-Suryeys Are Now Being Mad,
For This-Cenfluenc Branch NAT
ter for Dim and Distant FIXTURE.
The B. & o. has about finished
its survey of the Confluence branch
The party OF engineers working V
the east Of Morgantown has beer
ordered to the west side of the river
and is now engaged in making q
survey from Fairmont to Washing
ton, Pa.
This will parallel the Wabash
through the rich coal fields from
Fairmont through to Pittsburg
through this and Greene counties
as well as through Washington
county.
One Of the engineers who has been
in close touch with the work says
that the Confluence branch If built
will not be built for the next 1--WE
years but that he expects the new
rival to the Wabash to go down as
soon as the Wabash gets its line
built.
He says that the Cofiuence route
is much shorter than any other be-
tween Wheeling and Cumberland
but that it will be enormously ex
pensive. The object in building
line alongside the Wabash will ap-
pear to every one who looks at it
moment and this will probably be
done before very long.
At any rate the surveyors are very
busy. They are not only surveying
this route but they are mapping out
half a dozen other routes in Greene
and Monangalia counties. Some.
thing may come of all the SUI veying.
