McAllister, ‘‘and if we are to prepare a celebration commensurate with the occasion we should at once formulate a definite plan. If suffi- cient popular interest can be aroused Ido not doubt that the Secretary of the Navy will senda division of the North Atlantic fleet to the scene and Congress will invite the foreign Powers to participate. “Counterparts of the two combat- ants in the great battle could be built without a heavy expenditure of money, and it would be interesting as well as instructive to see them repeat the maneuvers which caused the United States to leap to the front rank of naval powers in a single day and change the naval architecture of the world.

New York, Nov. 14.—Andrew Car- recently announced that he had given $25,000,000 to the Carnegie Corpora- tion of New York which was organiz- ed Nov. 10 under a charter granted by the New York Legislature last June. The aim is to promote ad- vancement and diffusion of knowl- edge and understanding among the people of the United States. The gift is the largest ever made. Carnegie’s benefactions now total $217,000,000. In bestowing this gift upon the cor- poration, organized especially to re- ceive it and apply its income to the purpose indicated, Mr. Carnegie, in a statement given out at his home in Fifth avenue, says he intends to leave with the corporate body the work of founding and aiding libraries and ed- ucational institutions which he, as an individual, has carried on for many of years. “ The Man Who Lost His State.
