On the 1920 census, it says that he immigrated in 1885 or 1887 (tough to
read, looks like the enumerator wrote one and then changed it to the other,
but who knows which was first or last) and that he was naturalized in 1889,
so don't restrict yourself to the 1890 immigration date. The closest match I
can find in the 1885-1890 range is on Ancestry.com:

Philadelphia Passenger Lists, 1800-1945
Name: Aud Carmichael
Arrival Date: 26 Apr 1887
Age: 18 Years
Estimated birth year: abt 1869
Gender: Male
Port of Departure: Liverpool, England
Ship Name: British Prince
Port of Arrival: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Last Residence: Ireland
Birthplace: Ireland
Microfilm Roll Number: T840_8

The "Aud" looks like an abbreviation of Andrew to me. I liked the look of
the Andrew Carmichael arriving in NY in 1887 on the Furnessia, but I was
able to track that family to where they settled in New Haven, CT.
