IN TWO COUNTRIES.
Contract of Work in England and
the United states.

London. September 27.--John Burns,
radical member OF parliament for Batter
sea, has a two-column letter in the Times
this morning in reply to statements OF IN
American engineer, who a few days ago 10
the columns OF the Tribune discussed with
an English engineer the conditions of work
in England and the United States, Mr..
Burns agrees with what was then said as
to the excellence of American workman
ship. He denies, however. that this Ia
due to the wages paid and the long hours
but ascribes 1t to the fact that the Ameri-
can employer has few deadheads to carry
about. He says:
THE American employers are captone
OF industry, are more inventive, adaptable
end assmilative less hide bound In thcir
conceits; more versatile Ia inventive and
Initiative efforts. Where the American
en- glneering excels the British it is no.
because Of the shortcomings OF the British
mechanics. but because OF the woodenhead-
ed and often pigheaded character OF the
employers. managers and foremen.
Given skilled American supervision and
inventive methods with British mechanics
work and the reign OF the alliance OF or
gsinization aud production would be tht
best In the world.
He concludes by denying that Great Brit
ain is losing her engineering trade, alleg
ing to the contrary that IL Is increasing
while strikes are decreasing. He quotei
statistics In proof OF this.

London, September 26-The feature OF

yellow fever but this theory was dispovcd.
The break is really caused by the restric-

money, thus checking an unnatural rise
that might have ended disastrously. New
buyers are expected at the lower level and
the rise may be resumed. Canadian Pacific

A CHANGE IS EXPECTED.
Railroads Hope for Quarau tine Mod
ifications This Week.
NO TRAINS WILL STOP AT BREMOND
Houston County Presents a Peculiar
observation-disclosures Required
OF Trainmen Going West.

The roads Of Texas hope that during the
next few days the quarantine situation
VIII undergo such radical change that
they will be permtted to operate their
regular train service and relieve the pres
ent congested condition Of local freight
traffic.
Yesterday passed without an unusual In
cident other than the discontinuance Of
international and Great Northern passen-
ger trains, and In the main the uuar1n-
tines announced Saturday and yesterday
are still in effect Bremond. where the
Houston and Texas Central connects with
the Waco and Northwestern. 1t appears.
gave the roads to understand SATURDAY. that
they would permit trains to stop there
fer the purpose of transferring passengers,
freight, express and mail for Waco and
intermediate points when 1t did not come
from infected places. The Wells. Fargo
& Co.'S express yesterday communicated
with the health officials Of Bremond to
learn II such was the case and later In the
afternoon received reply that 1t was not.
a fuctuation Of opinion when applied es
pecially against transportation originating
in the northern part of the State.
Houston county presents the most COM
plicated quarantine yet issued to the rail-
reads, in that it will permit passengers
in possession Of health certificates to
board the trains in some stations in the
county, which will entitle them to leave
the train at certain other stations. while
Starke or Paso towns in that county will
MT permit freight or passengers to be
landed. At Lovelady, Crockett and
Grapeland persons holding health certifi-
Gates from any place not infected arc al
lowed to leave the trains. In this instance
there seems to be direct conflict between
the county and some OF the local auaran-
tines.
In one or two instances conductors and
crews OF passenger and freight trains run
ming west of Houston on the Southern Pa
cifc are required to- have health certih-
Gates before they are allowed to pass
through, and II no certificates are shown
the chances are favorable for their deten-
ton.
The Houston East and West Texas placed
in effect their emergency train schedule
yesterday morning, and is reported to have
taken the trains through without interrun-
ticn. The schedule, as that applying on
other roads. will be found under the reg
ular time table, published daily in The
