The Carnegie COmany Evidently
Masters of the Situation.
Pittsburg, Feb, Ii. = The Carnegie
Steel company has announced that the
price of steel rails stands at ST. to S1S
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.

They Knock Out Professionalism
ana Also Draw the Color Line.
Albany, n. Y, Feb. Is. - What the
League of American Wheelmen in an
nual convention declined to do was of
equal Importance, if not greater, than
those things they did. They declined
to allow professionals, no matter of
what standing, to either full or asso-
ciate membership in the league. They
refused to allow the assembly at it's
meetings to select the city for the an
nual meets. They declined by a
heavy vote to allow local option for
Sunday racing They declined to
amend at all the section of the consti-
tuition that provides only for amateur
riders and draws the color line. The
things they did were to divide the
league into consulates of twenty-five
clubs, each allowing amateurs to ex-
change their prizes for anything but
cash. They placed road racing under
the espionage of the racing board.

Athens. Feb. Is. - The Uarllke eX-
element here increased with the de-
parture of troops for the frontier ana
the equipping of additional war yes
sells for service in Cretan waters. No
body seems to doubt that clash al
arms will occur between Greece ana
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 ques-
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 fiotllla
into Cretan waters with instructions
to prevent at all hazards the landing
of Turkish troops in Crete.
The porte is understood to have APP
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
large force of Turkish troops is as
sembling at Salonka 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
very large force of troops and the ocz
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 a more or less serious nature
are reported from many parts of the
island, and Heraklion is said to have
been set on fire at a 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-
lieved here. The insurgents of Crete,
acting in concert with the foreign con-
suls, have declared Halepa 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 on Canea.

From Council Bluffs, Iowa, comes
story that illustrates several phases OF
human nature In that city the other
day a man who is very poor and who
is likely to remain so, owing to the
fact that an accident has deprived him
of both his arms, found a large roll OF
preenbacks. The money lay in the gut
fer and the finder could almost hear 1t
beg him to pick it up. This, on ac-
connt of his misfortune, he could not
do. So he quietly kicked the treasure
into the shadow of a building and
tried to think out q safe method OF
transferring it to his lamentaDly
emntv pocket. At last a small boot
black sauntered by, and the man con-
clnded to take chances. With a line
;;nretense of having just dropped the
hills the man gruf1y ordered the
younpster to assist him. The boy COM
inrebended the situation at glance,
Ise;7ed the little fortune, took to his
Soals and. easily distancing his angry
nursner vanished permanently from
the scene.

The results of the last French census,
Just published, show that there is no
sign of recovery in the birth rate. The
total increase in the population OF
France since 1891 is only 175,O27, while
the number of foreigners in France is
decreasing. The large towns are grow
ing slightly at the expense of the small
err towns and the rural districts. The
inhabitants have increased in twenty
four departments and have decreased
in sixty-three departments. The min
lister Of the interior, M. Barthou, notes
an increase of emigration, but is COM
pelled to confess the marked tendency
of the population to remain stationary
as to numbers.

HONORABLE MISS HYDE.
Gives Up Her Medal Because Accused
of Plagiarism.

VermilIion, S. D., Feb. 15.-Miss AL
ice Hyde of this city, who won first
prize last May in the South Dakota or
atorical contest which was held at
Yankton, has given up the medal and
the $40 in money which she received,
and they have been returned to the
president of the Intercollegiate associa-
ton. Miss Hyde has been charged
with plagiarism by certain members
Of the association and it is for this
reason that she has returned the
prizes. 1t is not thought here that
any part of the Grafton was taken
from any other production, although
in one or two instances there is a SIM
ilarity in the line of thought as ex-
pressed by another author.
