FIGHT ONLY JUST BEGUN.

So busy have the people been with the election
and It's results that they have given very little
heed TO the big victory Z. II. Hartman won in the
railroad world when he deposed Stuyvesant Fish
from the presidency of the Illinois Central com
pany. This victory for Hartman has signf-
canoe far broader than the securing OF revenge on
an opponent or the winning Of big stakes in stock
gambling operations.
AS the New York Mail explains the case the
game was between the Mississippi valley and the
Pacific coast, with Panama as the pivotal point. In
this game Hartman played the hand OF the far
west.

northery end Of which is Chicago. and at the
