RAILS WILL BE MADE FOR $17 A TON An Enormous l'roduction Is Ex pected, Which Will IHnko Ilusincss Lively in "Other l)iroctions--Tlio Cambria Company Prepared to right Cnrucgio-KoclmfeHur Com-biiiution--Sitiuitioii at Pittsburg. Johnstown, Pa , Feb. 11. And now it Is about to dawn upon the thouands of people heieabouts that it is a happy tiling for Johnstown that the steel lall pool has collapsed. What effect It may have upon the Cambiia lion com pany Is nobody's business, but the stockholder. The Impoitnnt point Is that Immense outers for steel mils are being placed at $17 a ton, and what the people want to know mound here is wlieie does the Cambiia lion com pany stand? Can it meet the slump? Will It make steel lalls for $17? Is It able to fight with the Camegle-Rocka-feller combine? Can It meet the cut prices of the Illinois Steel company and the other large lail manufnetur iig plants? These aie the all absoib In? questions. "You may say." said General Man ager Chailes S. Price, of the Cambiia lion company, to a United Associated Presses leporter today, that the Cam biia lion company will take all the steel i all orders It can possibly 1111 at $17 a ton. If the pi ice goes lower we will meet the llguies. The Cambiia lion company will not quit the Held. It is in the light and will stay in it to the end." Concerning the outlook for business, Mr Pi ice expiesbed it as his comic tlon that from now on there will be an enoi moils pioduction of steel lalls. "This will mean," he said, and this is the wondei fully good news evetybody will lejoice to hear, "that business will levive In every other diiection." "Can you make steel tails for $17 at n piollt?" Mr. Pi Ice was asked "No; but that win not matter to the Cambria company. We will simply be obliged to put a stop to expenditures in some diiectlons to meet whatever less there may be at the end of the light. But as far as Johnstown is con cerned, it means business and pros perity." "Will the price fall below $17?" "I do not think so. Cyrus Elder, solicitor for the Cambria Iron com pany, eldently legards the stoiy that Cainegle and Roekafeller design to contiol the steel tail market of the world as wild newspaper talk. Con cerning the tepoited Cninegie-Roeka-feller combination to that end, Mi. Elder said: "If Cainegle and Rocke feller have any such Idea In view, they will find that this Is a eiy, very laige world " Mr. Eider did not know what effect the drop in the pi ice of steel tails would have on the Cambria company, but he said he guessed that whatevei happened the Cambiia company would be able to do business at the old stand Cambiia otilclals said today that it was toollsh to listen to the talk that Is going the rounds to the effect that the Cainegle-Itockefeller syndicate would control the markets of the woild. "We have one of the veiv finest and best l all mills In the woild," said Gen eral Manager Price, "and w hen it comes to that we are piepaied to make lalls as cheap as any of them." It was also brought out today In talking with a gentleman closely con nected with the Cambiia company that the only possible advantage the Carnegie-Rockefeller combination could, have over the Cambiia company Is in the matter of freights on oies ftom the mines. And It was added that If It should ever come to a "show down" the Cambria company would find a way to get its oies cheaper. SITUATION AT PITTSBURG. 'Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 11. The situa tion in the steel rail business this morning shows that the cut in prices has icsolved Itself Into a bitter war for supremacy. It is learned that the Car negie Steel company Is meeting all competition of the Illinois company and has instiucted Its lepresentatives in Chicago to sell rails at $17 In Chicago, or $14.25 in Pittsbuig. a lower tlguie than has been quoted In any leports printed. When the pool went to pieces in the Pittsburg meeting Monday an agiee ment Is said to have been made be tween the two big concerns operating west of the mountains to maintain pi ices, which were then fixed at $20 Pittsburg and $21 at Chicago, but each firm was to go after any business that it could obtain. President Gates, of the Illinois Steel company, it Is alleged, went diiect to Chicago, and within two houis the wlies weie burdened with Messages to all the railroads of the west quoting tails at $18. The Cainegle company at once !sued ordeis to theii agents to meet all cuts that might be made, and as a lesult today the Cai negle company at Chicago is selling mils at $14.2o per ton, which with the fi eight from Pittsburg added, makes a i ate of $17 and the war It is said Is to be to the bitter end.

P Athens, Feb. 11. The government has foimulated a notlllcatlon to the poweis setting forth that Greece can not i cumin a more spectator of the events which are taking place In Crete, and that the ties of race and religion compel her to Intervene In behalf of the oppressed and outiaged Clulstlans In that island. In the chamber of deputies last even ing Premier Delynnnls said that either the poite would be pieented by the poweis ftom sending reinforcements to Crete, or would persist In sending them theie. In elthei case, the premier de clated, the Greek government had de cided to take action piomptly and de cisively When Crete demanded a union with the mother countiy, he said, Gieece would not temain indifferent. At the conclusion of the remaiks of M. Delynnnls, the leader of the oppo sition assured the premier that the government would hae the heartiest support of the opposition, which as sail ance evoked piolonged cheers. The Cretan committee here are mak ing piepaiatlons on a large scale to land men and munitions of war upon the shores of Crete, and the first In stalment of COO men embarked and sailed last evening.

Assim Bey was treated with the utmost couitesy, and was informed, so far as diplomacy allowed, of the at titude of Gieece on the Cretan ques tion. His protest, however, was, so far as known, productive of no result. The Gieek government will not recall the llotllla and fuithermoie, a sec ond flotilla will shortly start for Crete. The ttoubles In the Island have caused many of the residents to flee to Gieece for safety Since the outbreak began fully 8,000 Cret-ms have arrived at the Piraeus.
