THE CARNEGIE COMPANY.
This Corporation Not At All Worried
Over the Condition Of the Iron
Market, And 1t is Prepared to
Meet the Flercest Kind
of Competition.

Pittsburg, Feb. 11.-Andrew Carnegie
arrived in the city last night, and was
closeted to-day with the officials of the
Carnegie Steel company, limited, deny
ing himself to all interviewers. None of
the officials of the company would ex-
press themselves upon the recent COL
lapse of the billet and rail pool and
which threatened the dissolution of the
iron ore combination. The iron and
steel market is in highly agitated state,
over the present condition, but it is evil
dent that the Carnegie company is by no
means worried over the prospects of an
open market, with the feroest kind of
competition. A prominent steel manu-
facturer said: GAS far as low prices on
billets and steel rails is concerned, it is
generally conceded that the Carnegie
company is prepared to compete with
any condition. Their recent com mpletion
of the two largest blast furnaces in the
world, by which the cost of pig iron Is
reduced, their alliance with coke inter-
ests, and the fact that they are paying a
wage scale which contains 10 per cent
bonus that can be taken off at any time,
gives them an advantage that is gener-
ally conceded in iron and steel circles.

to Mr.. Grosvenor but it was his sub
sequent attack on Secretary Morton
which created the sensation. Mr..
De Almond is democrat and an ardent
advocate of silver and therefore his
attack on the democratic cabinet
official who had been most active on
the gold side of the controversy ex-
cited less surprise than it otherwise
would have have done. With biting
sarcasm and rasping irony he scored
the secretary of agriculture, taking as
his text the recent publication issued
by the secretary and sent out over the
country under O frank entitled Far
mers' Interest in Finance. The pamph-
lie reviewed the silver agitation TO
show that poverty and illiteHc y char
acterized the states which had been
foremost in the demand for a res
toration of silver. Mr. De Almond
asserted that the demand for
silver came chiefly from the farmers.

Ex.AMBAssADoR BAYARD is quoted
as saving. "Mr. Cleveland is the logical
leader of the democracy and before the
present administration is concluded L
believe that almost tho unanimous
voice of the people will call upon him
again to take the reins of government.
l should rejoice to see him once more
in the Presidential chair" The course
pursued by the boilers induces many
unprejudiced people to believe that
they haven't common sense, and If Mr..
Bayard be quoted correctly, that he
hasn't any sense at all, is SO plain as to
90 without saying. An old negro
preacher belonging to- the family in
which the writer of this paragraph was
raised, used to say to him, while hold
ing the testament upside down, "When
Jim can read the end will come" 1t
will certainly be time for the end to
come if Mr.. Cleveland be ever again
elected to the Presidency. Why, if an
election were held tomorrow, Re
