Presi-a dent Roosevelt will soon YY present to Congress an offer from Andrew Carnegie to give $10,000,000 to the States In trust for the establishment in Washington of a National university for research and post graduate study, which Congress is expected to accept, and for the care of which It is expected to provide, as in the case of the Smithsonian institution. Mr. Carnegie evidently had in mind the example of James Smithson, whose bequest brought about the establishment of the Smithsonian institution, for the university i3 not to be a government institution nor in any sense a scheme for university extension. It 13 to be entirely different from the great National university proposed by George Washington. Th Government Is to act merely as a trustee in keeping and disbursing the funds.

The management of th Smithsonian Institute, endowed by the Englishman. Smithson, with $1,000,000. is vested in a board of regents composed of the Presi dent of the Lnited States, as presi ting ofricer fcx-ofnt-io; the chief justice of the States as chancel, the president pro tempore of the United States ieniie, three members of the United States Senate, three member" of the House of Representatives, presidents of two of the leading universities, two citizens of the. United States at Urge and two citizens of the District of Columbia. The members of the cabinet in each administration are ex-officio members of the institution.

The management of th Smithsonian institution is vested in an executive committee composed of two distinguished citizens and en's member of Congress. The non-partisan charae'er of the institution is indicated in the fact that the appointees of President Cleveland as regents, namely. Richard Olney. of Massachusetts, and George Gray, of LeLwre, Mill retain their places. Deal With Higher Branches of Science The Smithsonian institute deals with scientific research, and the Carnegie university is to deal with all the hither branches of science.

It will not interfere v.ith established educational institutions the district or elsewhere. The presi-iHiits of various colleges and universities of note have been consulted by Mr. Carnegie, and have given their indorsement to the Idea of establishing an Institution of learning where the highe; post-graduate courses can be taken at the seat of government. With the library of Congress at command and the advantages of the executive department and the legislative branches, greater opportunity will be afforded than elsewhere for study, observa- tlon and research. I Mr.

Carnegie's plans have not reached a point where the location of a site has been considered, but there is plenty of fine land in thj District of Columbia suitable for the purpose. The gift will be to the people of the United States, and not to the United State Government, yet congressional action is needed to obtain the authority for the president of tho United States or the members of the administration to act as trustees of thj Carnegie university fund. ills offer Is contained In a long letter rfraf 3d by him, after consultation with President Eliot, of Harvard; Seth Iw, Andrew D. White and other eminent educational men, together with a few public men who will sympathize "with such movement. "While ut Mr.

Carnegie's reijuect. the matter has been kept as carefully as possible from the public. It got out to-day at the capitol and was talked about with great Interest by serin-tors arid representatives. Mr. Carnegie's gft.

John Klemans called me up over the telephone and tried to talk to me about the matter, but I refused to discuss it with him.

Later he called at the Safety building and I met him on the sidewalk at the door. He wanted me to agree to let them run. I said, "there will be no poker rooms opened up with my consent during my term as director." "He wanted to get Into conversation about what he called payments. I told him that was something that I had nothing to do with and knew nothing about, and when he tried to talk it over. I told him that I had authorized nobody to make any deals for me, for themselves, or for anybody connected with me.

and that I would not permit anything of the kind. "Recorder A. M. Rrown turned over to me many, many anonymous letters received by him, among them one being about policy and Klemans, saying that a man named Klemans was talking around in the East End about opening a gambling house and blowing around that he would open it, no matter what kind of orders went out. I had served notice that I was troing to close every gambling house 1 knew or could find out about.

Inasmuch as Klemans had always professed the greatest friendship for me. I could not believe that he was trying to injure me, or would so degTade himself as to enter Into consntracv with Flinn to attemnt me harm.

THE GREATEST GIFT EVER BESTOWED FOR LEARNING Real Estate, Stocks and Bonds Go to Make Up This Immense Sum. MEMORY OF HUSBAND AND SON Special to The Pittsburg Post. AN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9 To day Mrs. Jane L.

Stanford widow of Senator Leland Stan ford, transferred to Stanford university by deed bonds, stocks and real estate valued at $30,000,000, the largest single gift ever bestowed on any institution of learning. Of this amount half consists of gilt- edge bonds and stock, paying a large revenue. The real estate deeded to the uni versity comprises much of the property originally given by Senator Stanford, but the deeds of which were found to be illegal. The bonds Include many securities that have doubled in value within a few years, and the accumulation of these and other stocks since the death of her husband. The real property deeded Includes no less than acres In about 12 counties of California, and comprises the great Vina ranch of acres.

A third deed conveys to the university Mrs. Sinn- ford's home on the summit of Nob Hill one of the most finely decorated houses in San Francisco, which, with the b'g lot. is worth This will eventualiy be converted into an art gallery and mu seum. Despite these big gifts. Mrs.
