London, June i.—“We trust in
Scottish pride to rise in its wrath
against this invasion of the al
mighty dollar,” says the Review of
this week, commenting upon An
drew Carnegie’s munificence to:
Scotland’s universities. j
“Many of the oldest and best!
families in Scotland,” continues
j
tiie periodical, “send their sons to j
Scottish universities, where they;
pay the fees, like the sous of their
humblest neighbors, neither more j
nor less. Is it to be believed that!
this will continue if the fees are!
paid for them by Mr. Carnegie?
Imagine the Duke of Hamilton,
Cameron or Lochiel, or McDonald i
I
of the isles, allowing his heir to i
get an education at the cost of an !
American iron monger! We shall j
next hear of some Chicago pork j
packers proposing to buy up Ox-1
ford and Cambridge, and dictating
terms of admissi m and the subjects
]
to be taught; or of Boss Croker ;
forming a lobby to control the Loti
don University, with the object of
inculcating Tammany principles in
the mind of the rising generation i
of cockneys.”
The St. James Gazette in an ed
itorial headed, “The Anglo-Saxon
Millenium,” commenting on pessi-!
mists’ proposal that “Yankee Doo
dle” be made the national anthem;
that the American language be j
made compulsory in the schools,
.and that the coronation of J. Pier- j
pont Morgan be arranged for June
or July next, says:
“But there is a bright side of j
the Americanization of this insig- j
nificant country. It ought to j
make war impossible. How can |
the patriotic American suffer from
Anglophobia when he loves Eng
I
land so much that he wants to be
her owner? How could he sink
merchant ships in which his own
money is invested? War would
ruin his industrial enterprises,
stage, press and locomotive com
panies, philanthropic schemes, aris
tocracy, race riding —in fact, every
thing except our agriculture, which
has ceased to exist.”
Alex. Jameson and his brother
arrived per Susie. Mr. Jameson

A gang of men have straighten
ed up the floor and underpinning
of the old A. C. warehouse, the
N. C. Co. having traded the A. E.
and VS. Y. T. properties fl r the A.
C. property with Capt. Mayo. A
substantial “to boot” is also un
derstood to have passed in the
transaction. The fact that the A.
E. property conies within the 400
foot deadline as to liquor handling
is said to be the reason for the
trade.
Corporations, it is said, are bod
ies without souls; but thev un
7 *
doubtedly possess business judg
ment. This is evidenced by the
announcement that John Duncan
has been retained bv the combine
m/
in the same position he held with
the A. E. Co. since their station at
this place has been in operatien.
Mr. Duncan is well and most favor
ably known to every miner in the
district; in fact he is the trusted
agent of a large number. It is a
notorious fact that the bulk of the
business done by the late A. E. Co.
in Rampart was due to the accom
modating and obliging assistant of
Manager Liebes, J. W. Duncan.
' Jim Geary dropped dead in the
Pioneer saloon last Sunday morn
ing at 9 o’clock. The coroner’s
I
jury rendered a verdict of deatli
from unknown internal causes, but
net from violence. A post mortem
I
revealed the fact that death was
due to heart disease. He had been
jailing for some time. The funeral
| took place Monday last.
