The Carnegie Comany Evidently
Masters of the Situation.
Pittsburg. Feb. IA. - The Carnegie
Steel company has announced that the
price Of steel rails stands at SIT to SIS
per ton. the stiffening in price being
caused by the heavy demand. The
slashing Of prices is still the principal
topic in iron and steel circles here. but
it seems that the Carnegie company is
now controlling the price Of rails. J.
w. Gates, president of the Illinois
Steel company. was reported to be on
his way to Pittsburg to confer with
the Carnegie officials with a view to
stopping the rate cutting, but did not
stop here, but went on to New York.
Mr.. Carnegie. who was busily engaged
at the company's Office. said that he
would have no information to give out
to-day. 1t is estimated that the mills
have already booked sufficient orders
to keep them running steadily for sew
eral months to come, giving employ
ment to thousands Of idle workmen.

Athens. Feb. IA. The warlike eX-
element here increased with the de-
parture of troops for the frontier and
the equipping Of additional war YES
sells for service in Cretan waters. No
body seems to doubt that a clash at
arms will occur between Greece end
Turkey unless the powers intervene,
but it is believed here that Greece will
be given free hand in Crete and that
if she succeeds in anneXing that ISL
and her right to do so will not be lueS-
toned by the rest of Europe. 1t is
quite certain that King George has not
acted without consulting with his
friends in sending the torpedo ttotilla
into Crctan waters with instructions
to prevent at all hazards the landing
of Turkish troops in Crete.
The porte is understood to have ap-
pealed to the powers to restrain
Greece in this emergency, but nothing
further is known of the policy Turkey
is adopting. though it is reported that
a large force of Turkish troops is as
sembling at Salonika for embarkation
to Crete. 1t is known here that
Turkish officials in Crete have reported
to the porte that it is absolutely i'm
possible to pacify the island without a
very large force of troops and the oc-
cupation of every town. village and
mountain stronghold in the country.
The hatred which has always existed
between the Mussulmans and the
Christians has been famed into fever
heat by the recent collisions between
the insurgents and the Turks. Con-
fiicts of Il more or less serious nature
are reported from many parts of the
island, and Heraklion is said to have
been set on fire at number Of points.
The report that Great Britain will,
if necessary. take the initiative in pre-
venting the Greek war vessels from
actively interfering in Crete is not be-
licved here. The insurgents of Crete,
acting in concert with the foreign con-
suls, have declared Halcpa to be neu-
trail territory which must not be in
fringed without twenty-four hours
notice.
The commanders of the foreign war
ships have obtained the promise of the
Greek admiral that he will give forty
hours notice of any attack which he
may determine to make Oh Canea,

VICTIMIZING FARMERS.
Sharpers Are Working the Innocent
Farmer in Iowa.

Webster City. Iowa, Feb. IA. - Two
men claiming to represent the firm or
Joseph Lewis Sutton & Co., 314 and
315 Wright block, Minneapolis, Mimi,
have been operating in this section of
the state, and complaint comes from
Center township. Pocahontas county,
that they are working confidence
game on farmers. J. J. Bruce of that
place holds one Of their contracts. The
sharpers solicit a man to become agent
of their firm, or one they represent,
allowing him the privilege Of purchas-
ing agricultural implements. etc. at
wholesale prices. A contract to this
effect is drawn up. and three copies
Of it are made. all of which the farm
er signs. The first one is kept by him
self. the second by the travelling men,
and the third is ostensibly made to
send in to the house. 1t is the latter
that turns up in the form of a prom
issory note for $50.
