WARNS EUROPE TO UNITE.

Andrew Carnegie Says Ani:rica Will Overshadow World. At St. Andrew’s, Scotland, Andrew Carnegie the other day suggested the formation of the United States of Europe. He appealed to Emperor William of Germany as the most puissant of monarehs available for the work to take the first steps necessary to accomplish the desired result. Mr. Carnegie urged a political and industrial union of the European States. Only by means of such a union, he said, could Europe ever repel the American invasion of the markets of the world; only by such means could Europe hope to go forth and conquer fields of commerce for her own advantage. France, Germany and Russia might form the nucleus about which the new union could be effected. * , “The Cfcar,” continued Mr. Carnegie, “having taken the first step toward the peace of the world in The Hague conference, the other mighty emperor might some day be impressed with the thought that it is due to himself and to Gerpiany to play a great part upon the wider stage of Europe, as her deliverer from the incubus which oppresses and weakens her, the appalling, paralyzing fear of war and of ruin between members of her own body.” Mr. Carnegie gave expression to his views in his rectoral address at St. Andrew’s University. He had been formally reinstalled as rector’ of the university

and honored with the degree of doctor of laws. At the same ceremony the same degree was conferred on Joseph H. Choate, American ambassador to the court of St. James; Dr. Andrew D. White, American ambassador to Berlin: Alexander Graham Bell of Washington and Henry White, secretary of the American embassy in London.
