Since reaching Paris Sunday. he has
been kept busy.
Monday he had an extended inter

in the evening he was a guest at a
dinner at the American embassy that
was attended by distinguished com

After the Sorbonne luncheon today
he was received by President Fallieres
in private audience.
Mr. Carnegie is much exercised over
the state of Europe and the warlike
ispirit everywhere prevailing. While
the great apostle of disarmament is by
no means despondent over the pros
poets of ultimate universal peace he
is seriously of the opinion as a result
of observations and impressions gained

pean situation is dangerously electri
cal.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT FOR

further consideration was post
poned."
Considering the stage of legisla-
tion, the closing days, or what are eX-
pected to be the closing days of the
legislature, a 'postponement" is
equivalent to the killing of the bill,
and the cities which have been peti-
tioning the assembly to permit them
to reorganize their municipal form of
government, are pretty certain to be
defeated in their hopes.
