Cable to The Tribune.


LONDON. May 14.-Andrew Carnegie
apostle OF peace. prosperity and poverty
at death, arrived In London In extremely
good health and spirits The laird OF
Skybo slipped over to this city on his
way TO Scotland and will be here to as
sist in the welcome OF Colonel Roosevelt
next week.
The steel master was quite willing to
chat on things pertinent TO America and
after declaring In favor OF President
Iafts plan for a scientific study of the
tarin, he declared he would like TO see
Colonel Roosevelt head of the American
delegation to The Hague peace tribunal.
Mr.. Carnegie smiled when asked II he
would meet ]. p. Morgan in Europe
There Is no reason why l should meet
him-that is. no business reason" said
he. but L may meet him by chance"
Speaking Of the tariff propaganda OF
President TAFT, Mr.. Carnegie said.
Standing by Taft.
~ am heartily in accord with the views
or President Taft on that subject. Here
tofore there has been TOO much politics
mixed with tarlff affairs. The tariff is
matter which requires scientific study
and scientific remedies. 7 favor down
ward revision, but not to such an extent
that II would hurt American industries
In that respect l am a protectionist."
The most enthusiastic topic of the laird
was that OF peace.
Il am very anxious to meet Colonel
Roosevelt In this city this week" said
he. for in him we find ono of the great
est powers for international peace In the
world today. 1t seems TO me good Idea
for the former president OF the United
States to head the American delegation
at The Hague next month, Colonel
Roosevelt's speech at Chrstiania has
tended to bring him forward further as
an international figure In the great plea
the peace dinner next week / shall sure
ly mention the subject TO him. Colonel
Roosevelt and l are in perfect accord
over the Idea OF peace"
Continuing his talk along general lines.
Mr.. Carnegie laughed and was In high
good humor when ] asked him II II were
really true that he had become angry at
Pittsburg. the city where he made his
vast fortune.
Lover Of Pittsburg.
Next to New York love Pittsburg
better than any other place In the world, y
he said THAT story that was angry
at the city Is all rot. My, benefactions
TO the city shall be made In the future
just as they have been in the past. They
will not be stopped at all.
Il was much pleased at the action OF
bronze cast OF my features placed In the
hall Of the Carnegie institute In Pitts
burg. They are good boys. all OF them.
and | shall never have anything but the
kindest OF feeling for them.
MY recent trip through the United
States did me world OF good and | am
feeling better now than 1 have felt for
long time. America is a country which
requires an entirely new adjective to de-
scribe. II is a mighty republic and the
greatest power in the universe. have
not been sparing In some Of my criticisms
OF some OF the American people ! ex-
tol the virtues Of such men as President
Taft and Governor Hughes but the trou-
BILE with the average American citizen
is the $50 week man is too anxious
TO live in such manner as TO try to
make his neighbors think he Is earning
$40. That is deception that Is harmful
very. very harmful
Praises Western Girls.
THE American women are all beautiful
but the western girls seem to have more
dash and vim than the eastern maidens.
But my idea OF glrlhood is not the kind
that shines in the ballroom, but the kind
that shines in the home"
about me and Mr.. Morgan a little story
was told by one OF the steel master S
friends concerning the two. II seems
that shortly after the steel trust was
formed. Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Carnegie
were passengers on the same ship that
fell into conversation and in a Joking
manner Mr.. Carnegie said he believed
that prices asked by the Morgan syndi-
cate for the Plttsburg steel Industries
was not high enough.
You could have got one hundred mil
Morgan Is said TO have replied.
Following that the newspapers printed
stories that q coldness had sprung up be-
tween the hnancier and the steel mag
nate MIR. Carnegie cbuckled when the
story was recalled 10 him today and said
there was nothing In It,. He said he would
play a great deal OF golf In Scotland this
