But Mr. Calhoun never drearr.pt of
the growth which the "spoils system"
would attain under forty years of Re

INQUIRY IS LUG
PITTSBURG. Pa.. June 36.—Pitts
burg learr.-il that the visit of Andrew
Carnegie to Kiel. Germany, this week.
I which he is ostensibly making for the
purpose of witnessing the yacht races,
will have a far greater significance. At;
1 that time Mr. Carnegie will be present
ed to the German Emperor and durl: s
his stay at Kiel he will announce to the
German people that he will give *1.000,-
000 for the purpose of erecting a mag
nificent library at Berlin.
Mr. and Mr?. Carnegie will leave
Sklbo th'e first of the week, and will
be received at Kiel by Charlemagne
Tower, whose guests they will be dur
ing their stay, and who will present
Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie to the Emperor
and Empress. It will be the first gift
that Mr. Carnegie has made to the
German people, and It is believed that
the original gift of $1,000,000 will toe
largely increased later on,
Report of the presentation was no
surprise to Pittsburgcrs. Mr. Carnegie
has the highest regard for the German
Emperor, and did not hesitate to give
voice to his opinion during the dedica
tion of tho new Carnegie Institute here
on April 12. At that time, in hi.?
speech, he declared that the Empi: w
was- one of the greatest men In the
world.
The Interest that the Germans took
in the dedication of the new institute
was a matter of great pleasure to Mr.
Carnegie. Of all the foreign nations.
Germany sent the largest number Of
representatives to tho dedication,
among them being Theodor von Moel
ler. Minister of State: Lieutenant Gen
eral Alfred von Lowenfeld. adjutant
general to tho Emperor: Ernest von
lime, cchirt architect to the Emperor,
and a number of the most prominent
educators in Germany. During the ded
ication cablegrams were exchanged
between the Emperor and his repre
sentatives here. In which the most
friendly feeling was manifested toward
the steel king. The German Emperor
sent as a present to the Carnegie In
stitute b wonderful book of photo- 1
graphs, and Mr. Carnegie responded
with a replica of the famous dinosaur.
At that time it was intimated that Mr.
Carnegie would make, a more substan
tial display of his appreciation.

A proposition that the Ocean Steam

lumbermen would stand the cost of
building the structure ivas recently

BOISE. Idaho, June 16.—While tho
trial of Wm. D. Haywood, charged with
conspiring to murder former Governor
Frank Rteuncnbcrg, stand adjourned
till Tuesday. Harry Orchard, the chief
witness in the case, tomorrow will <he
taken to Caldwell, where the case •
against him for the actual murder will
be called and postponed until the next
term of court.
Judge Fremont Wood, who Is presid
ing in the Haywood case, will hold
court in Caldwell tomorrow, acting for
Judge Bryan, who is disqualified in the
Orchard case,because his partnej wns
counsel for Orchard at the time of his
arrest. Orchard will be taken to Cald
well in charge of Wnrden Whitney, of
the Idaho penitentiary, and a force of
guards. The adjournment of Orchard’s
case will take only a few minutes. The
prisoner will at once be brought back
to Boise.
The Hay-wood trial will be resumed
Tuesday morning, when the State will
continue the Introduction of evidence
fa support of Orchard’s s*ory and en
deavor further to. link the.defendant
with the conspiracy to murder Stou-
nenberg as outlined by Orchard in his
confession. So far the evidence has
been, corroborative of Orchard’s story
of his many crimes in major and minor
detail. The direct connection of Hay
wood with the murder has yet to come
out in evidence. Certain evidence has
linked him with Adams, who Orchard
says was his partner In a number o>f
crimes.
Documentary evidence has shewn
Haywood's connection with Jack Simp
kins. tout as Simpkins was a member
of the executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners, of which Hav-
wood is still the secretary and treasur
er, counsel for the defense assert that
the drafts were drawn In the regular
course o-f the federation business, and
that drafts from Haywood to Simpkins
have no connection with a conspiracy,
being, in fact on the records of *2c
federation.
Simpkins is named in the indictment
with Haywood. Moyer and Pettlbone.
but he has not been arrested. Ono of
the drafts in his favor was drawn after
the murder of Steunenberg. The State
has shown by witnesses that Sinipkius
was with Orchard fa Caldwell prior to
the murder. The last draft produced in
evidence was identified by tho cashier
of -the Denver bank, was drawn in
January, 3906.
It was indorsed by Simpkins’ wife
and paid to her toy a bank in Spokane.
Steunenberg was klled on December
30, 1905. The last draft in favor of
Simpkins was drawn prior to the time
Orchard made his confession, and about
three week? before Haywood was ar
rested fa Denver. It Is rumored that
the whereabouts of Simrrkins Is known
and that he will be produced as a wit
ness at the proper time. Counsel for
the defense nnd prosecution fa the caso
do not confirm the report.
In its direct case the State will rest
by the end of this week. Adams may
be called to the stand, but this is not
certain. A strong effort v.-ill be mnde
to get Adams' repudiated confession
before the jury.
On Tuesday the State will offer in
evidence copies of certain printed ar
ticles over Haywood’s signature show
ing the language used by th> defen
dant against Steunenberg when tho
former Governor was running for of
fice. The decision of the Supreme
Court of Colorado having to do with
the eight-hour bill which Haywood
was supporting, and which was declar
ed unconstitutionrd bv the Supreme
Court when Judge Goddard was on the
bench, will be offered In ovidenoe.
Orchard swore that he was employed

thc Supreme Court, and that

prison to Mr. Hawley’s office during
the afternoon.
