a rumor from Boston and of the re-
fusal of Mr.. Carnegies personal repre-
sentative in New York to either af-
firm or deny the truth of the story,
and of his advice to have patience,
| has tended to strengthen the belief
that Washington will be the place for

Whether the gift will attain the pro-
portions of S1o,Vuo.ooo. as rumored. is
prOblematicaI. But in the face of
the refusal to deny or affirm the ru-
NOR In whole or in part, Little surprise
would be caused by the announcement
of so large a gift
The only explanation of the possible
use of the gift. should it be S1OOyO,lOl,
comes from New York, where two Hul-
landers are said to have been active in
attempting TO stir up intei lest in Il pro-
posed institute Of Internal ionaliSm to be
founded at The Hague. and to support a
school of international law at The Hague.
In a prospectus which has been sent to
a number of leaders in the field of in
ternational law by Mr.. Sijkman and Paul
Horricks, Originators OF the scheme, the
estimate for the building and equipment
OF such school is placed at 100000 O.
The prospectus is said to give the i'm
preston that the promoters expect the
aid of some wealthy American interested
in the cause of universal peace.
AS far can be learned, no local men
have been approached.
