The White star storm deler Ne'tio wac
tho first Of the trio of liners due on Satur-
day that got into dock yesterday morning.
She left the Cunarder Umbria and the
American liner ST. Paul. which In normal
weather are usually ahead OF her, FAR
astern. She did pitch bit and roll mere
triAe in the few days when the seas we're
tallest and the gale tore frills from the
combers and tossed them. like the peltlng
torrent OF a horizontal rainstorm, aboard,
hut she reeled of the knots almost In the
fashion that she does when the floor looks
fit to dance on.
On Friday night when the wind was
having a piping concert OF its own. the
ships concert held on the boat deck,
lust below the place where the skipper
stands to take note of things ahead or on
the bows and direct the movements Of the
ship. The Celtic is very big and has bilge
keels and beam that puts the ships that
we're in her wake, to shame. The dance
went on and the yeasty sea away below
seemed not to be any more connected with
the ship than the foundation OF sky
soraper does to it in the same sort OF
weather.
Even John Morley, author and Parlia-
mentaran, who Is close to seventy, felt
little Inconvenience, although the last
time he crossed the Atlantic westward
was thirty-five years ago, when New York
was just dimly lighted, dirty town, and
the present SUN building one OF it's Hottest
structures.
Mr. Morley did not appear on deck while
the great ship was coming up the bay, being
a late riser. and did not see the lofty towers
that he has seen in picture books and papers.
When he rolled away In an automobile
with a fellow voyager, Andrew Carnegie,
whose guest he will be while he ia In the
city, his eyes bulged with wonder at the
transformation. New York had really
grown altogether beyond his conception
and seemed like q glimpse Of the charmed
city OF Bagdad, with few hundred yards
added to the height Of temples and things.
Mr.. Carnegie was prepared, as he usually
Il, to talk to the group OF newspaper men
that inevitably come up from Quarantine
with him. He greeted them cheerily as
"boys,' and listened attentively to all their
questions, answering all but few that
seemed to look like contributions to the
puzzle department.
Mr.. Carnegie declared that he had the
greatest respect for Judge Parker, but
said that he was a Republican and would
advocate the election Of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Il will not be able to VOTE he said, "but
Mr.. Roosevelt will have my prayers
What do you think Of the ovation to Mr..
Cleveland at the meeting in New York on
Friday night?'
This question was inspired by a remark
Of Mr.. Carnegie that he had received the
newspapers for the last several days from
a pilot who boarded the Celtic off Sandy
Hook, and that he had read about the meet
ing and was in touch with the latest Ameri-
can news, political and otherwise.
Mr. Carnegie answered: Il have the
greatest respect for anything that great
and good man has to say. He is a splendid
specimen of American manhood and de-
served the ovation given TO him: As long
as the American. people are influenced
all will be well.
About the tariff Mr.. Carnegie said.
1T seems to me that the Republican
party is the one to revise the tariff when

Mr. Morley, who stood beside Mr.. Car
negie during the interview, looked at the
reporters with curiosity that seemed to
be not unmixed with a dim SORT Of fear, and
became much interested when the question,
What do the English people think of Mr.
ROOSEVELT" was put to the ironmaster
who answered with solemnity: II must say
that Mr. Roosevelt has taken possession OF
the imagination Of the English people (here
Mr.. Morley smiled and nodded). They
look upon him az a striking figure in Ameri-
can politi les and literature, and all Of them
are proud Of him"
Mr. Carnegie said that although he was
opposed to militarism, which was supposed
to be typified by the Republican party. he
was strong party man and believed that
he could exert more influence for good by
being loyal to his party than by following
the example OF some Of his friends who
intended to vote for Parker. Il hope"
said Mr.. Carnegie, that Mr.. Roosevelt
will not get too many votes for next to a
good government is a strong opposition.
As Mr. Carnegie started for his auto
mobile with his wife, daughter and John
Morley, somebody presented an enormous
bunch OF American Beauty roses to Mrs.
Carnegie. Her husband took charge of
them. They filled both his arms and,
