for defending its conduct with respect to

NEW YORK. June 22.-The New

means that the Carnegie Steel Company
advantages for manufacturing have never
been even partially realized and also that
greater things can be looked for from this
country than foreigners ever dreamed of.
Inc carnegie Company has agreed 70
deliver to the Russian Government within
the next tWenty-siX months $50 600 tons
Of steel rails at a price said to be the
highest quoted this year. 1t is said the
sale was made at s2S per ton, but this is
not authentic. It is safe to say the price
is not less than $25 per ton at the mill
Such being the case. the Carnegie Steel
Company has an order aggregating S4.-
1000. which has never been surpassed
in the history of the steel trade. 1t could
not be learned who represented the Rus
sian government in the deal, nor was 1t
made clear Just when the first deliveries
will be made. The rails are for extern
sive railroad projects the Russian Gov
ernment is promoting in Siberia and
Taking the efghty-pound rail as the
standard, it means that the Carnegie
Company will supply about 1900 miles of
railroad. although it is doubtful If such
heavy rails will be used for this traffic.
as the sixty-pOund rail is usually used
IN building new railroads.
The first news of this important steel
rail- contract was learned to-day by a
representative of the Commercial in
this city, and our Pittsburg CORES
pondent was asked to confirm it, which
he did, as above. The order was nego-
tiate1 in Philadelphia. where the trans
action was completed to-day, through
V. A. KasheOnikoff. who represented
the Russian Government. and who is
also one of the chief engineers of the
Siberian Railroad. The contract price
is learned autho-itative1v by the local
representative and is $2S per ton, free
on board at Pittsburg. This means that
the total value of the contract will
amount to no less a sum than 5000, 900.
