LONDON. May 21.-(speclal Dispatch to
The Bee)--Mr. Andrew Carnegie and
former President Roosevelt will meet at
the annual meeting of the Peace society at
the Guild hall on Tuesday. This will be the
formal meeting of these two famous advo-
Gates of worlds peace Mr.. Carnegie will
make a speech, but 1t is not certain yet
whether Mr. Roosevelt can be induced to
say a few words to advance the cause 1t
is believed he could, II he would, make
some extremely interesting statements as
to the feeling toward arbitration and the
limitation Of ornaments at the various Eu-
pean capitals but 1t Is not likely he will.
In a conference Mr.. Carnegie has ar
ranged between Mr.. Roosevelt and some of
the leaders of the peace movement the
former president will probably give the re-
suit Of his talks with the kaiser, President
Falleres. King Victor and the Emperor
Francis Joseph, but it is hardly likely the
public will be taken into his confidence at
;hls time
The impression is strong here that Mr..
Roosevelt will head the American delega-
ton to the next Hague conference. 1t is
believed II he should be rendered and ac-
cept this appointment he would be the DOM
inant force in the conference and would be
able to do more than any other single man
to advance the cause of the peace of the
world
Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted the offer OF
the Cambridge union to be, made an hon
orary member OF that society. He is not
the first citizen of the United States to be
thus honored for included In the small and
distinguished list of honorary members of

Kitchener on his return from the Soudan
campaign.
