with this stroke ]. P. Morgan brings about a
crisis in both the steel and railroad situation
which is likely in the end 10 overturn the har-
monious relations established through a dove
failing of interests within the last five years, or
the contrary, TO start war which will end
in the greatest consultations. This movement
is a revenge on the Pennsylvania and the Van

The present coup of the Steel Corporation
leaves its opponents in this sort of a position:
The Cambria Steel Company and the Pennsyl-
vania Steel Company have a large output OF
staple articles of steel, and part of their
supply and a few boats with which to move their
material down the lakes once it has been
started. The Lackawanna Steel Company owns
perhaps little more land, and has only the

to back it in the matter of ore carrying. The

red fire tonight in celebration of the signal VIC
tory of Frank w. Higgins and the Republican
party at the polls Election Day. All the
afternoon trains brought throngs of people
{ o'clock when the big parade started the
streets we're packed with people.
The parade was fine spectacle in the light OF
a half ton of red fire, evenly distributed along
the main street. a thousand men and boys,
waving American flags. marching to the music
of the bands followed the Republican Club Of
Olean under an arch of balls of fire thrown
from thousands of Roman candles in the hands
of business men end citizens to whom they had
been delivered in the afternoon. The parade
circled the Park on which Governor-elect Hig-
gins lives, and he with his family. reviewed it
from his home.
II was with genuine regret that il was learned
early in the evening that Mr. Higgins's phys-
clan had commanded him to remain at home
and that he would be unable to attend the
meeting the armOry in his honor The Gov
ernOr-elcct has been suffering for several davs
with an old trouble which brought on by
his recent hard campaign tour, and DR. FoIlett
states that he must take the best care of him

attentively. therefore, 10 letter from him in
