LONDON. May 13. ( Now York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram ) Private ad
vices from Simla bring tidings of some
thing like a palace revolution In the vice
regal housUiold. Owing to thu pretentious of
the vicu regent's mother , .Mrs. Loiter , Cap
tain Mcade , ono of Lord Cui/on'n aides-de-
camp , has rewlgncd and other members of
the viceroy's unite are reported to bo In a
stnto of suppressed mutiny. It was all be
cause Loid Cur/on gave orders when Mis.
and Miss Loiter were driving alone , that they
uhould bo escorted by an aide-de-camp.
There Is no place on earth whom etiquette
rules so absolutely as In this colony of An
glo-Indian officialdom. Tradition pi escribed
that sons , daughters or slstera of the vice
roy might have a viceregal aide-de-camp In
attendance , but such n distinction was never
toeforo claimed for the viceroy's mother-in-
law. Captain Meade formally declined an
escort nnd then offered hit , resignation ,
which wa-j accepted. Ho is now leturnlng
to England The young earl of Suffolk , an
other of the viceroy's aides , who Is very
etvvect on Daisy Loiter , has since attended
them , but not officially. There has also
been trouble and heart-binnlng about the
viceroy's mothcr-ln-law's and slstrr-ln-law'B
precedence nt viceregal entertainments Mrs.
Loiter Insisted on being taken In after her
daughter , which point was conceded reluc
tantly by searched old officials , but blttoily
resented by tholr wives. The viceregal cir
cle is being necessarily extremely re
stricted. This unpleasantness Is continually
cropping up In one form or another , mak
ing Curzoii's llfo mlsoinble. The worst Is
that Mia Loiter cannot understand whit
the trouble Is about and the Intense enjoy
ment she derives from her quusl-regal hon
ors Is the most Irritating feature of all.

secretly married. No doubt this , engage
ment wns hastened as the only effectual way
of disposing of the canard. The duke's
mother Is strongly opposed to the match , be
cause Miss Wilson has only a fortune of

of Devonshire , wan fearful of the result of
his marrying until ho had settled do\vn and
did everything to prevent the match. Ono
of her methods + 'of pressure was nn Intima

LONDON , May III. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) lAndicw Car
negie spoke freely this morning concerning
his plans of public buncflcclico and the
Industrial competition of the United States
and nngtand. Doth topics arc causing con
troversy and speculation on both sides of
the Atlantic just now.
"Have vou any general scheme for dis
bursing your millions' "
"Not any set scheme , but the directions in
which I have tried heretofore to do some
good will afford a general Indication of my
Idea of the most beneficial uses to which
money can bo applied. I nm the last mnn
living to believe in promiscuous or Indis
criminate charily. My opinion Is that out of
every $1,000 bestowed on so-called charity
$950 had better have been thrown Into the
&ea. No applications need bo made to me for
contributions , as nil my letters are opened
by my secietary and such applications
never get befoio me. I hope to preserve
what llttlo reputation 1 possess for com
mon sense In assisting useful objects. My
gift to Birmingham is only a slight return
for the inventions Birmingham baa given
Plttsburg bteel and Iron manufacturers , be
sides and this Ih a very Important quali
fication In this connection my partners have
i.ot yet definitely purchased my interest in
my firm. I really don't know whether I
will be glad or sorry to go out of business.
It Is n great wrench , but I dare say I shall
find lots of occupation any way. I leave
for Scotland Tuesday and look forward tea
a delightful holiday on my salmon rivers
for the summer. "
Amerloa'x Industrial Siiproiiinoy.
"Mr. Barnes , becretary of the Amalga
mated Society of Engineers , stated that the
solo reason for the transfer of orders for
locpmothes and bridges and other Iron work
to the United States wns because English
workshops iwero full and that the English
engineering trade shows a ste.idy growth for
the last Ion years "
. "Is this consistent with your vlcwo ex
pressed Monday ? ' - , .
"Barnes' explanation Is qulle true. All
steel manufacturing vsorks In the world today -
day nro pressed for products The demand
U greater than the whole woild can supply
for Iron and steel machinery nnd ships. So
long as that demand continues all works
will be busy , but after a tlmo there will bo n
slackening of the demand. The question Is
which country will get half the loaf when
there Is not enough to go round. My answer
Is the United States , because It can produce '
cheaper than either England or Germany ,
the only two competitors necessary to tnko 1
Into account , as American manufacturers can
afford to run their works to supply the 1
enormous home demand at a small profit and
dump their surplus in competition with all
other nations England and Germany are 1
working up to tholr utmost capacity today ,
Their cost of raw materials Is stcadllj in 1
creasing and it Is Impossible for them to 1
compete In the open markets rf the world
at prices the American manufacturers can 1
afford to take for their surplus. Neither has 1
the Immense homo market of the United I
States , and the country which furnishes the '
best home maiket Is the best equipped to
capture the foreign. "
"How long will this Industrial boom last ? "
"It cannot wane this year , as there are
orders sulllclpnt to keep things booming for
that time. At nil events the supremacy of
the United States In the Iron and steel
trades Is permanently established. The '
United States is barely tapping Its resources
in the way of Iron nnd coking coal fields ,
whllo England nnd Germanv nro working
thelifl to the full limits. England's product
of pig Iron is decreasing year by year de
spite the big prices It now fetches. Amor-
lea's industrial triumph Is to endure. "
riilllnplno ( InoNtlon Ahronil.
Andrew Carnegie also gave out the fol
lowing signed statement today on Imperial
ism and the political outlook for the United
States
"It gives me pleasure to oblige you by N
statement of the situation in which I find
the Imperialistic question here. I have eceti
many of the most prominent public men now
In London whom I know to have been friends
of the American republic when it needed
friends. From the highest to the lowest ,
without exception , they linve met mo with
expressions of deep regret that the republic
founded by Washington and his colleagues
upon plans so much higher than those of
nny other stnto should have fallen to the
level of Uio military states of Europe. Some
of these men stood with Bright In the cam
paign against the Imperial party here who
longed to strike us down , I repeat that
without exception these men are lamenting
tl'o lapse from true Americanism to this
miserable Imperialism.
"I have met men of the other clans wlm
struck us when the republic was down. Let
mo give them credit for a change of tlielr
feelings toward America. I know them now
to bo amongst the foremost advocates of
race alliance. But I also know If I were
a British statesman there would be no price
I would not pay for nn alliance with America ,
no prlco would be lee high or securing her
entrance Into the itroubl l waters of the far
eayt , botnuro It Is the deslro of all English-
speaking men that v\o should stand together
ns against men not of our raco. Nature
made Idool thicker than water and an al-
llanco with our republic U now the keynote
of British policy and wisely ho. But not an
alliance with our present Industrial republic.
Our present war-lord makes himself ridicu
lous In the eyes of these statesmen with !
three battleships at his back and only 40,000
soldiers strutting llko peacocks , asvain and
just as harmless. No It Is not the present
industrial republic England wlahea to Imve
as her ally. It Is the ropubflc England Bees
America must become If it doea not ROOD
lovcrso Iti. policy In regard to the Philip
pines , We must have a tremendous navy and
f\ huge standing army ; for Britain judges
truly that Into whatever enterprise- the
CnlUd Etattb goes It will not be contort i _ ,
long to pby second fiddle It IB now only
the cats-paw of England. It could not main
tain its position for a day In Manila If Eng
land withdrew her august protection. It U a
humiliating position. It makes my Mood boll
as I f iemk the. worde. A recreant president
Is < lie FO.'O CAUBO of it. Up It was who
who changed his mind and demanded the
Philippines against the advice and wltlies
of most of his colleagues , Will the president
be permltte d to sacrifice the lives of our
soldiers much longer In fuHlo effort to con
quer 1,200 Inlands that would not stay con
quered If they were beaten ? Such is the
position B viewed from Londca.
ProspootM of Iloimlillouii Party.
"You nsk my personal views ns to the
future. I answer , President McKlnlcy will
not bo allowed by the manager * ot the re
publican iiart ) to continue his follj. I be
lieve he has been already Informed by those
whoso voice he cannot disregard that bo
must stop and return to American tradi
tions. The country has no stomach for vic
tories over people flEhilnpt for righteous self-
government. Heading between tbo Hues It
is seen that he Is now veering round. Had
ho authorized Otis or directed him to grant
Agulnaldo the- conference the latter asked
before war broke out all that has happened
slnco would have been unnecessary. Today
wo see his commission taking every means
In Its power to get a conference with Agill-
naldo and they are not standing on form.
General Otis , as reported by today's cables ,
still wants to push on military operations ,
to which President Schurman objects. The
contrast between Otis and Dewey Is sig
nificant. Powey always reports only what
has been done. Otis has misled the coun
try sovcial times about what ho Is going
to do. Ills plan of campaign was ghen out
with a great nourishing ot trumpets. Ho
was going to corral the enemy , hut so far
he has been a complete failure. Ho won
skirmishes ns everjbody 03 peeled , but lost
his campaign. The suppression of the news
from Manila which our republican president
enforces would not bo tolerated by mon
archical Britons. Ono suppressed cable at
Manila that comes via Hong Kong today
tells us the Nebraska regiment Is reduced
to 300 men with 160 on the sick list.
"Tho season approaches when military
operations must cease nnd the president no
doubt stands aghast at the grave situation.
Ho Is now icported ns about to call an
extra session of congress In a vain effort to
relieve himself of the responsibility. My
forecast Is tint the president will get out t
of the Philippines and return to American i
principles by obtaining a shadowy protectorate -
torato , In sonio form nnd that bo will bo able | | j
to appear before the republican convention j I
with the Philippine question settled , having I
given them the same promise of independ- |
i ence he gave Cuba , and that our party will |
- then earn the presidential election. If he I
approached the country with the war In the i
Philippines unsettled It is improbable he I
will got even the nomination. The weight
I
i would be too great to carry. This , however ,
he probably thinks already secured , but his t
election would then bo another story If the
democratic party were to drop silver and
como out for Americanism. If the Issue Is
presented to the people as between the prtnf |
clples of Washington or McKlnley there Is I
no doubt of the result. Our party would be j ,
beaten , and deserve to be.
"There , you have tempted me Into proph-
ecy a dangerous business. "

IGOOD ' PROSPECT FOR TREATY
|
j German Pnlillo lIc-hiK Kilttentcil to
Ilcttcr Opinion of PoiiilliiRT Com-
meieliil Agreement.
, airy 13 Nefiotl ( T'j'ns fur a com-
merclal treaty between the United States
I and Germany have now been taken up in .
earnest at this end of the line. The United j
States ambassador , Andrew D. White , ex-
poets that , despite the number of formld-
able obstacles that must bo overcome , a
treaty which will be satisfactory to 'both '
nations will crown the efforts of the rep
resentatives of both governments.
i There la every reason for saying that the j I
'German ' goveinment , and notably the for- j I
elgn minister , Bixron von Buelow , will do1
ovorj thing possible to overcome the dlfill >
culties of the task of formulating such a
treaty. The foreign ofllco Is having the jio- I
tent aid of Emperor William as well as the
sympathetic co-operation of representatives j
of all the German states in the Buudesrath , I
j ' and Is determined not to permit the ob- I
stlnate aversion of the powerful agrarian
Interests to stand in the way of such an
important bond with America. The emperor
I ' mada clear the fact that he views such a
'
treaty favorably in the course of recent ex- ,
prcsslons to Baron von Buelow. The main ,
i difficulty that Mr. Whlto has encountered
thus far In the preliminary conferences nt
the ministry of foreign affairs Is the erroI I
neous Idea that hns taken hold of the German - |
man mind nnd been sytematlcally fostered
by the agrarian and other newspapers that I
trade with the United States has latterly I
been distinctly unpiofitnblc.
! The papcrc referred to , oven with statls-
j tics prepared by the government , have made
a strongly plausible case tending to show
that the balance of trade has steadily In
clined to the sldo of the United States. Tlio
minister of the Interior , Count von Posa-
dowsky-Wohner , made a statement to the
same effect to the Reichstag a few weeka
ago. Mr. Whlto this week produced stronK
counter evidence , taking facts and figures j
from material supplied by the Trensuiy de j
partment at Washington , showing that while
it wns true Hint American exports to Ger
many In 1898 were unusually large , far ex
ceeding In bulk and value the German ex
ports to the "United States , the fact was
largely due to temporary causes whllo every *
thing now shows n renewed larger demand
for German goods from the United States ,
Mr. White also pointed out that whllo
German exports are largely manufactured
gqods , American exports are mainly pe
troleum , cotton and other raw materials , not
produced here , or Insufficiently produced , as |
cereals , copper , etc. , whose value as In-
cieased hero nnd which are subsequently re-
oxpoi tod.
MiWhlto also furnished proof by official
flgincs of the first three months of 1809 and
approximate figures for the current thrcs
months that during the year under the exist
ing tariff there has been undeniably a largo
Increase of German exports to America a-- *
that the total value of such exports for the
ontlio jcnr of 1899 will exceed $100,000,000.
These facts and figures will soon be suitably
brought to the attention of the press and
ilvvllt uoon by government speakers lu the
Reichstag within a fortnight , thus ending the
systematic misleading of the public by the
mouthpieces of the agrarian party
With tbo public thus set right , it is sup
posed tlio tasK of the negotiating of a treaty
will become easier nnd that the majority of
the Reichstag will no longer antagonize the
measure , It Is also expected that this clari
fication of public opinion will favorably In
fluence the Rc-ichstag In the matter of the
pending meat Inspection bill , the chances ot
which at present appear to be very slim ,
largely through Hie same systematic misrep
resentation for which the agrarian papers
uro responsible.

1'AUIS , Hay 13 ( New York World Cable-
grain Special Telegram. ) His majesty.
William II , emperor of Germany , granted me
an nmllcnco nt his private chateau near Mots ,
whither Ient especially to see him to OD-
taln ( rom him nu ovpiosslon of his feelings
toward the United States. 1 met both tlio
emperor and cmprcft ) personally. Tlicy re-
reived mo with much courtesy and consid
eration. His majesty spoke earnestly anil
thoughtfully of the relations between the
two countries , especially of the new cable
line between the United States and Ger
many.
I reached Berlin on Friday night to learn
that the emperor would not return to the
capital from Strnsburg , but would continue
his tour to Metz , sojourning for a while In
Iho ( Chateau Urvlllc , which Is now his ra-
vorlte residence and which ho bought from
the | Baron Cerce for 300,000 inaiks. There
he feels that ho may rest , BUI rounded by Ills
family j , free from the glamours nnd cares
of the court. Hut even there ho cannot be
wholly free , for the emperor is an Indefatlg-
able worker.
No one can approach Mctz without
emotion. The \cry air Is heavy with
memories. There -wore soldiers everywhere
In ( splendid uniforms. The majority of the
olllccrs are Prussians , nnd superb men to
look \ upon. I left Metz for Urvlllo on Sunday
morning. It Is a drive of seventeen miles ,
the t road winding through the beautiful val
ley i of the iMouellc There are many battle
fields whore the Germans nnd the French lie
IE sldo by side. As I approached Urvlllo the
eceno grow gayer. There were the white nnd
black I and red flags of Germany , nnd the
white and black flags of Prussia. Ever
greens woroimlnglid with the bunting. Even
the houses of the peasants were decorated in
hone * of the emperor's pre ence.
MnKiilliociit Snlillorn.
As I came nearer the chateau I could
see the troops of the emperor's favorite
regiment , the One hundred and forty-fifth of
the line , whoso uniform It Is his majesty's
pride to wear.At the gates stood a line of
sentinels , tall , handsome , richly uniformed
men. Beyond , lending up to the chateau , I
paw an Imposing array cf soldiers drawn up
as If for a review. As I drove up the nvenuo
they siluted and paid an honor that means
much In Europe. A rapid turn brought the
carriage in front of the entrance to the
chateau. There was another line of soldiers ,
jj the finest In Europe. They also saluted me
,
as I went by them. It was all very beautl-
J ful to American eyes
Two lackejs In splendid red , black and
White liveries , bearing the royal arms , ran
out and aided me to descend from the car-
rlage. I passed on to the Inner preclncln
of the royal dwelling. Many officers In gor
geous uniforms saluted mo with deferential
and charming politeness. I wns ushered
Into ] an apartment just off the entrance.
,
The emperor , the empress , Prince Joachim ,
the , Princess Victor and the Princess Louise
were all there , just having returned from
church.
I looked upon the kaiser with mingled
feelings. ] It 'was a verj great privilege to
meet , this man , who Is playing so Important
.
a part in the history of the world. Ho
stands , very erect , with the military bear-
ing. ] His carriage Is easy and graceful , Ho
speaks , quickly. His fac and his manner
express , greaU determination. He looks like
a , man whom destiny has designated to ac
complish great deeds. Ho Is cordial and
sympathetic and combines Imperial dignity
with great simplicity. When I explained to
him for coming there ho thought for the
briefest space of time and then spoke earn
estly.
The ICalnor Speaks.
"I am sincerely pleased , " ho said , "at the
unanimous satisfaction and Joy which the
present relations between the United States
ard Germany causes throughout my empire.
Iho new cable will do much to unite the
two great naUons moro closely and will
help to piomoto peace , prosperity and good
will among their people. "
The German emperor Impressed mo as
being a really great man. He Is talented ,
original nnd grandiose. Ho knows liow tu
capture people with daring display. Ho has
endeared hU friends by his tact , cleverness
and Independent thought and action. The
empress Is n charming woman. Once hav.
Ing seen her , It is not difficult to appreciate
the emperor's speech concerning her nt a
dinner whllo visiting her native niovlncei
"Tho tie that binds mo to this province , "
ho said , "and binds mo moro closely to It
than any other in my empire , la the Jewe :
that sheds Its luster nt my Bide. Her
majest } , the empress , sprang from this soil ,
the Ideal of the virtues of a German
princess. It Is her love that makes me capable -
pablo to bear the weighty responsibilities or
my position In joyful spirit. "
After seeing the ro > al family I wns con.
ducted to the apartments of Finuleln von
Gersdorff , lady In honor to the empress , n
most charming woman , very simple and
natural.
"You must not look at mo with critical
eye , " eaid Frauleln von Gersdorff to m ,
"Hero everything Is simple. The emperor
always lives In simplicity In Urvllle. To
us all It seems like Hiiro home. "
I conversed with the lady In honor for an
hour. She asked mo 'many ' questions. She
wanted to Know where I was born , how
long 1 had lived In America and how many
voyages I had made. She was especially
Interested in China.
I told her I had seen the arrival of Prince
Henry of Prussia In China , and'how the
empress of China had flattered the German
princess , who -was the first member of a
royal court of Europe , to visit China.
Tin' KiiNtoni ( ItioMlon ,
It n\as easy to tee that the rojal house
hold Is Interested In the eastern question.
Fraulcln vou Gorsdorff spoke of the Amer
ican ambassadors she had met and their
families. She bad a pleasant word for
every one She referred to the popularity
of Ambassador Andrew D , White and of
the ( secretary of legation , John II Jackson ,
and his charming wife.
Before leaving the lady In honor I begged
her to express to the emperor tor me the

ture.AnothoV
AnothoV member of the court household
told me a story th.it Illustrates the em
peror's simplicity. He 'went to visit a rela-
tl\e and rang \ho hell himself. A maid
came to the door.
"God In heaven , it Is the emperor him
self , " she- exclaimed , and in her excitement
she slammed the door In his face. His
majesty stood there shaking with laughter
until he was permitted to enter.
The emperor added much to his popu-
lailty In Strasburg and ! MeU during his 10-
cent visit there by visiting the Catholic as
well as the Protestant churches , as he
did In Palestine. Ho wants to be consid
ered a defender of the faith.
The emperor's two eldest sons have just
been sent to Kiel to take a course In manual
training. They will go through a course of
practical carpentering , cabinet making and
locksnilthlns. Both are fond of manual
labor and are expert workmen. The crown
prince celebrated hfs 17th birthday on
Saturday. He Is a studious , qulot > outh ,
who resembles his grandfather , "Unser
Fritz. "
The last mark of royal courtesy shown tome
mo by his majesty was a letter bearing
the royal arms and seal , Frauleln von Gers
dorff having delivered my message to him ,
saying that the emperor had accepted v\lth
thanks the homage which Wme. La Com-
tcsso do St. Maurice had charged Frauleln

Hero a largo number of nondescript con
veyances , from a four-in-hand bus to a '
single saddle horf > o , were gathered about the >
platform.
The president was the first to alight ,
bowing to ithe knot of people who had as
| sembled. Mrs. McKlnloy remained lu her
i car with Dr. and Mrs. Rlxey , It being feared
that the ride over rough roads would not

bo bcncllcial to her.
All along the three-mile drlvo to the

a group of men and women and a band of
pickaninnies who waived hats and handker
chiefs as the oarrlagas passed
After entering the grounds of the Natuial I

very steep and Jagged to the level of the
stream , which flows beneath the urch. Presi
dent McKlnloy took the lead nnd progressed I
BO briskly over the stones nnd slippery
places that he was soon In advance of tlio
leader of the party. Directly beneath the
road of rock were assembled about fifty
young women , pupils at the Holllna semi .

on an excursion The president stopped for
a few minutes , ns he reached Ihem , and 1
each was Intioduced and shook his hand.
Mr. McKlnloy was greatly Impretspd with
the Hcenery and so expressed himself sev .
eral times. After an Inspection of the cot .
tage , first owned by Thomas Jefferson , and ]
which stands at the end of thn bridge , and j
a look down the ravine from the top of the

doughty warriors arrived upon theli native
cell last night w hen the Third regiment
crossed tbo line nnd the bo > < disembarked
to find themselves In the arms of loved
ones who had waited p.iticntly for their
coming. Hundreds of licnrtB were made glad
by tbo homo coming of the bojs. not the
least Jojful boating beneath the blouses of
the soldleis thmiiaclves. It wns N'ebraska'n
first experience in welcoming homo n icgi-
niout which had scon toivli'o on foreign son.
Cluwds of friends swnrmed down to the

pushing over Intervening tracks In the di
rection of that on which the train \\as np-
prontlilng. As the wheels of the engine re
volved slowly and then ceased to move , u
great cheer was sent up. Men fiom nil
companies leaped from the cars to look for
sumo familiar face or to find themselves In
the arms of some relative or perchance Bomo
sweetheart. Generally , how over , the confusion -
fusion wns so complete that no one could bo
located , nnd friends crowded from ono sol
dier to another to nsk for news of an PV-
pected soldier who had failed to como or hart
slipped away to hmry homo as quickly ro
possible , doping for their welcome there ami
not ut the trnln , where they would have no

Bryan nnd Adjutant General li.irry upon tlio
platform drew the attention of some of the
boys.

The first train consisted of si baggage car ,
two sleepers and three coaches. The con

lna about 2 30 o'clock there was not such a
throng of onlookers to shout a welcome na

But tlui small crowd sent up a volley of
, cheers that was answered by the soldiers as
they Jumped from the car steps onto the

There were not quite a hundred of the
' volunteers The train was made up of only a
' few cais , and they were not crowded. Moat

and Company D of Omaha. There was but
ono officer among them , Second Lieutenant
