THE IRON SCARE.
A Good Authority See No Immediate
Cause for Alarm.

PITTSBURGH, December S.-The Iron Age
has lengthy editorial on the iron and
steel situation, which includes the follow
ing remarks: While the country Is con.
graduating itself that II was more scared
than hurt by the panic that was discovered
hidden in the iron and steel trades by the
newspapers, especially in the dark corners
of the steel rail mills, II Is evident that 1t
has not wholly recovered from the
effects OF the fright II got There
is still . great deal Of tremor and trepi.
dation, and it is apt to scare at sounds
and appearances that few weeks ago
would have given II No alarm. 1t seems
evident, however, and Is generally be-
Heyed, that there was no occasion for any
thing like a panic, and the fact that the
iron and steel trades have come out OF this
scare unframed, without single failure
or single stoppage, Notwithstanding the
air was full Of alarming rumors, is certain.

idency of the United States at the last Pres

had been dismissed. What lead to this
remarkable step has not transpired and

meaning Of il. Mr.. English claims to have
met the lady but once in his life. Whether
this story is true or not cannot be said, but

her on the stage Of the opera house about
