WHAT CARNEGIE DID An Offer of Ten Millions For National University. TO BE LOCATED AT WASHINGTON. Proposition to Kndow an Institution For Illaher Kdncatlon Made to the President Matter to De Submitted to Cousrcss. WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. The Washington Post this morning says that President Roosevelt has received a letter from Andrew Carnegie In which the latter offers to make n do nation of $10,000,000 to the United States. The letter will 1p referred to congress by the president In n special message. i Mr. Carnegie's gift Is for the purpose ; of establishing iu Washington a unl j verslty for higher education. As far : as his Idea has been developed It pro poses a gift after the manner of the bequest of James Smithson, the Eng lishman, who gave $l,000,tHH) for the ' establishment and maintenance of what Is now known as the Smithso nian Institution. Smithson desired the Institution founded by him to be n fac tor In "the diffusion of scientific knowl edge." Mr. Carnegie proposes that the uni versity which he Is to endow shnll be the greatest lustltutlou lu the world for the development of higher educa tion. He has consulted President Gll man of Johns Hopkins university, President Iladley of Yale. President Eliot of Harvard, ex-President White of Cornell nnd all the leading educators of the country. They heartily Indorse his pluns. The proposed university will not interfere lu the least with the edu cational Institutions already establish ed, but will supplement thein, for, ac cording to the present plans, its doors will be open only to those who desire to take up n postgraduate course. Mr. Carnegie also wants the new univer sity to take the lead in original re search, so that the United States can eventually stand side by side with Germany, if not excel that nation, lu scientific development. Mr. Carnegie's plan 'does not pro pose a national university in the sense that an appropriation will be asked or needed. The government Js simply to be the trustee of the magnificent en dowment, Just ns it administers the fund bequeathed by Smithson. The amount of money to be given by Mr. Carnegie equals the sum of the present endowment fund of Harvard and is considerably more than the In vested fund of Yale. With the Catholic university, the Methodist university and the proposed Carnegie university, Washington will be the educational center of the country. Pneumatic Gun Tested. SAVANNAH, C.a., Dec.
