coming this way.
II have had occasion in the past two
or three weeks to talk with gentlemen

ditions are slowly but surely improv-
ing, As soon as q definite tariff policy
is mapped out merchants and manu-
facturers will know better Just where
they are and the settlement of the
tariff question will go n long way
toward restoring confidence and better
conditions in all branches of business
"As for the development of the city

way, after a month of disturbing devel-

NO ERIE RECEiVERSHIP
IF BOND PLAN FAILS.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-It was au-
thoritatively stated today that the
Erie railroad stands in no danger of
going into a receivership, whether or
not the public service commission modi-
fies its order regarding the issue of new
$50, 000, 900 of bonds. The only effect that
d failure to get the issue on the market
would entail, it was explained, would
be "A deterioration of the roads physi-
cal condition. The road has, however.
until April . to notify the commission
of its acceptance of the order. and
more conferences are likely in the
meanwhile.

tinue in the harness for sonne years TO

Mr.. Hartman was previously re-
ported to have said that he would
quit active business upon the advice
of his physicians. He was quoted as
saying:
Physicians have warned me that /
must step out. They say | nave done
enough and that it is now time that l
should turn my work over to others.
L awe been playing the game a gooo
many years. 1t has been a long chase,
but | am not dissatisfied with the re-
suits.
"A good many years, some big years,
and some lean ones, but | stayed with
them, Sometimes | had it my own way
and sometimes they bested me for a
period, but they didn't know. l could
have dropped out some time ago., but I
stayed in for the satisfaction l de-
rived.
There is something fascinating about
planning big things and conquerins
when the world predicts your defeat"
DR.. Dickson said there was nothing
particularly serious the matter with
Mr.. Hartman, but that the long strain
in Wall Street had told severely upon
him.

ENGLAND THINKS
TARIFF REVISION
IS ALL A BLUFF
General Belief That Senate Will
Not Allow Radical
Changes.
CONGRESS ACTION IS
WATCHED, HOWEVER
Some of the Opinions Expressed
Regarding the Payne
Report.

LONDON. March 1S.-The question of
tariff revision has a very real and I'M
usual interest at the present moment
for the British public. Hence the
American tariff bill and It's fate in Con-
gree Will be watched with interest, to
ascertain whether there is any slaeken-
ing in the belief in America in the viz
tues of a protectionist system. The
English newspapers refuse to believe
that tho Senate will sanction any really
effective reduction in duties. They
point out that there have been four re-
visions of the tariff since the Civil War,
but that none of these has resulted in a
reduction of the duties.

Views ON rnrin niner.

CHICAGO, March 1S.3The new tariff
bill is welcomed as a blessing and also
regarded as a menace in various indus
trial circles of Chicago. Eugene ]. Buf-
ington, president of the Illinois Steel
Company, sees a blight for the steel in
dustry if the is enacted with
contemplated provisions. j. Harry Sell
says The shoe industry will flourish like
q bay tree if hides are put on the free
list.
Wool dealers were not sanguine as to
getting any benefits from
the scheduled changes in wool duties,
and wholesalers were equally doubtful
as to whether the measure as now for
mulated would increase the revenue
