Roosevelt Rebuffs Carnegie Gift for Education
Washington December 16—President Roosevelt will not accept Andrew Carnegie's offer of 10,000,000 in United States Steel bonds to found a city college. Senators and representatives oppose the offer in its present form, especially the government holding bonds for years. Roosevelt hopes to convert the bonds to cash or U.S. bonds so the gift may be accepted. Meanwhile, British forces report a Boer loss and a dawn surprise at Witkrans with sixteen killed and seventy six taken prisoner. General Hamilton praised by War Secretary Broderick for achievements.
