OUR AMERICAN COUSINS.

"Mirk my woids," said Mr Andrew Carnegie, the American millionaire, in in interview in Lor,don, "the time is coming when the Continental Powers will combine to smash up this littilo island of Great Britain. "Wh°n that i;ppens, she will have to tarn te the United States for help. I feel certain! jDnill not be refused. The United States will step in and «ay, "Don'tl"i They will act just as Gieafc Briaian did I in tile Spanish American war. What) ■he did then was great, atd it is not' Xoa'iudyet." Continuing the topic of Anglo-! .American relatione, Mr Carnegie said: MI I believe in the community of bhe : ISnglith speaking races, by which I Mean that the Americans and the British are how closer than ever before. Coold yoB get a better instance than the visit cf the delegates of the New York Chamber of Commerce to Windsor recentlj} I suggested it and King took op the idea thoroughly. It was a fitting commencement of the lew reign. I know how deeply interested King Edward is in the United •States. I have known this since the time, years ago, when I drove him on a locomotive in the United States, which, by the way, ho did not forget when we met under different conditions. The idea that the visit of our delegates to "Windsor can iu any way be construed as King Edward's recognition of American commercial superiority is all nonsense. The King is full of tact and Cf friendship for oar country."
