NEW YORK. November Mr.. and
, Mrs. Andrew Carnegie and Miss Margaret
Carnegie were among those who came in
on the Baltic yesterday afternoon. after
a rough trip. Mr.. Carnegie was picture
in red. white and black, healthy red in
the cheeks. white heather in his button
hole and white hair, while he was dress I'd
in black.
He explained about the white heather.
1t was picked on the Skibo estate. Mrs
Carnegie put it there for luck said the
laird. ''She does it every year when we
leave Skibo castle. The heather always
brings good luck
Mr.. Carnegie went away with his family
on the last of April to the Mediterra-
mean, touching at Madeira and landing
at Naples. On his way across the con-
tinent from that port he was the guest of
Victor Emmanuel and of President Fall
Heres of France.
King a Fine Fellow.
'"The King of Italy is a fine fellow"
said Mr.. Carnegie. He found him such a
good fellow that the Skibo lord and
commoner cabled Director Holland of the
Carnegie Museum in Pittsburg to make a
replica of the DiplodOcus and fetch 1t over
to King Victor Emmanuel for the Jar
dimes des Plantes de la Roma. This is
DR.. Carnegies stock gift to rulers and
presidents that please him.
He found Naples considerable of beg
ging city. which the Neapolitan newspa-
pers didn't like. but his American friends
agreed with him.
He showed President Fallieres his horny
hands and tried to make him believe that
he was manual laborer. whereas they
were hardened, perhaps. from swinging
golf sticks. The SOrbonne gave him a
medal and the Scotch-American said he
was almost a Frenchman.'
Shifts to His Hobby.
After CDmplimenting the King of Italy
Mr.. Carnegie yesterday shifted to his
favorite topic of universal peace" "You
know where 1 stand on that subject" he
said. THE nations of the earth are en-
gagged in a disgraceful race of arma-
ments to kill one another. 1t is matter
of lasting regret that they should still
see fit to do Still, the matter of edu-
eating the world to the question of an
entire reform in the matter is question
not of a few years, but must necessarily
be the work of a decade of years. Even
while the work of construction on the
ornaments is still going on there is like
wise in evidence the steadily growing
opinion among the powerful thinking
classes of civilization that the welfare
of the world is best to be obtained by
doing away with war means of
settling international disputes"
In State of Frenzy.
Britain is in a state of frenzy which
is pitiable nonsense. Germany has no
idea of making war on her. If there is
any competition between England and
Germany 1t will be in a commercial way"
Sometimes war ensues for that very
reason? was suggested.
Seldom he replied.
IF the British budget doesn't pass you
know what will happen" continued Mr..
Carnegie. predicting a general election,
with the cutting of the claws of the house
of lords. Then he suddenly asked
How is politics? i am glad to hear
that Mr.. Barnard is to be elected by
$1,000 plurality. The forecast looks
right.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie and Miss Mar
garet left the pier in a black limousine.
