New Tork. Feb. II. Edward Hi Har-

greatest . stock speculation In the his
tory of th world.
H talked of millions of dollars as
little boy apeak of marbles: discussed
the buying and selling ef railroads as
the ordinary oltlsen talks of the pur
chase ef a cigar, and daaaled all by the
easy, confident way In which he re
ferred to his manner of getting control
ef great transcontinental transportation
systems, . . - i c ; ',
When the Interstate commerce com

It was lust If years ago, on February

trols over. 15,000 miles ef railroad with
a total capitalisation of over $1,700,000,

Young Harrlman entered WaTl street
as a clerk la th sixties. In 1S70, when
13 yesrs of age, he was able to buy a
