AMERICAN LABOR.
ITS SUPERIORITY RECOGNIZED
BY ENGLISH SHiPBUiIDER.
alfred Yarrow Predicts That America
Will Soon Take First Place In the
Worlds Struggle for Trade Supremacy
Unless England Bestirs Herself.

Another English tribute to the SUI
America to the labor of free trade
Great Britain is found in the re-
marks Of Mr.. Alfred F. Yarrow of
farrow 4 Co., OF Poplar, England. who
is just completing a three months
stay in the United States Mr.. Yarrow
has visited and inspected several OF
the largest iron and steel working
plants in this country and has been
greatly impressed by the American
| methods of work and their results.
Some time ago he wrote to the London
Times that if the striking engineers
in England would select a committee
of three or four men to visit America,
inspect the plants here, and make a
report TO the strikers, he would gladly
defray the expenses of the trip.
American iron and steel workers,
said Mr.. Yarrow, ARE better paid than
English. but they do far more than
proportionately better work. They
have superior diligence, application,
and ingenuity, and take more inter-
est in their work. 1t seems to be the
rule for each man to do as much as
he can, while at home every one is
afraid Of injuring his fellow workman,
and does no more than he has to. One
noticeable thing in connection with
this is the tending Of automatic ma
chimes. have seen one man in
charge of several machines here, while
at home it is against the rules OF the
union for a man to tend TO more than
one. Consequently he is idle con-
siderable part Of the time. When a
new machine is introduced into an
rating Of man to tend it, instead Of
allowing a man who is doing similar
work to take charge of the new tool.
THE lowered prices of raw ma
terial in this country have put Ameri-
can engineers into direct competition
with their English contemporaries,
and ! believe this competition will
| continue and grow keener. The ma
terials. etc. for the Central railway in
London. are being supplied by Ameri-
cans, who are also shipping steel bill
lets to England, boiler plates to Hol-
land. and deck beams to Belgium.
These are all centers of the various in
dustries using those materials, and
England formerly supplied them. |
| foresee that America will soon take
the first place in the world unless
England bestirs herself and shakes off
! the attitude of indifference assumed
| thirty years ago. when she was at the
| head in engineering industries.
During my visit here l have pur-
! chased a quantity of small machine
tools which are superior to the Eng
| lish makes. With such tools the price
| is of small moment: the best is want
ed. no matter what the cost, though
| prices here compare favorably with
| those at home

Washington. Feb. 13.-The personal
Incident growing out Of the publication
of Senior Dupuy de Lome's letter to
Senior Canalejas may be regarded as
settled. This has been brought about
by the short telegram sent by Minister
WoOdford from Madrid, in, which he
states that the minister had resigned
and his resignation had been accepted
before he WOodford) presented the
request Of the United States that he be
recalled The officials here feel an
interest in learning the details of the
happenings in Madrid and are wait
ing for Mr.. WOodford's promised full
report. But unless this should contain
some statement that Is not now expect
ed, there is no disposition on the part
of the government TO protract the clos
ing of this unpleasant incident, and IL
Is not expected that anything in the
nature of demand for an apology will
be made. If graceful disclaimer
should come. that will be taken in the
spirit in which it is made: otherwise
the matter will be dropped and the re-
lationS between the state department
and the Spanish legation will run
smoothly once more through the medi-
um of Senior Du Bose, the first secre.
tary and now charge d'affaires. IT
can be said for the president that he
shows little personal concern in the
matter as ii stands, and is not disposed
TO pursue Mr.. De LONE in any person
al spirit, and with this spirit in the
head Of the administration, the end of
the affair may be said to have been
reached.

VIII Adopt Protection.

With less than half a century OF
free trade Great Britain is losing her
hold, and her great thinkers are al
ready casting about for some means OF
maintaining the status she reached SUI
preme in the world of commerce. Five
hundred years of the strongest protec-
ton in the history of world OF pro-
tected countries placed her in the pre-
eminent position, the credit for which
is claimed by free traders for the few
years of free trade. The principle or
protection to her own industries is the
cornerstone of British diplomacy all
over the world today. There is many
an indirect way of protecting her
manufactures and she has made good
use of them ALL but every day
strengthens the proof that a tariff is
the best protective engine, and 1t is
but a matter Of short time until the
British protective system will be ex-
tended into a harmonious tariff wall
about the whole empire-Canadian

A PECULIAR WEDDING.
Two Deaf Mutes Figure in a Romantic
MARRIAGE


Alfred Jensen, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
M. P. Jensen, of this city, and Miss
Jennie Mitchell were united in mar
rage at indianapolis, Ind, last night,
and the marriage is the closing chapter
in the history of peculiar romance.
Both Mr.. Jensen and his brideare deaf
mutes, and what is even more romantic
they have been acquainted only short
time and but one visit was made by the
bridegroom TO the home of his future
wife. The bride is said to be charm
ing lady, but her inability to hear Or
speak had kept her from living the life
which the remainder of her friends led.
However, the young lady had a school
friend in Kenosha, and knowing her
sterling qualities she became interested
with the thought of seeking husband
for the young lady. Some time later
she met Mr.. Jensen and told him
about her friend in Indiana. The
young man became deeply interested
and the two exchanged photographs
In July of this year Mr.. Jensen visited
the young lady and when ne returned
to Kenosha the two were engaged to
be married and the date set for yester-
day. The young couple will arrive in
this city this afternoon and will make
their future home here.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jensen will give a re
ception in their honor this evening.

MASONS HEARD FROM.
They Give Their Side of Trouble With
Carpenter Contractors.

Carpenter Contractors.
A committee of the masons ask us to
publish the following reasons why they
have requested the carpenter contrac-
tors not to ask that mason work be
sub-let.
Carpenters receive from the owners
a fair compensation for the mason
work.
He then receives bids from the
mason contractors, and by carrying the
bid from one mason contractor to the
other and telling the price Of the first
contractor, he gets it cheaper from the
other, and so on down until he has seer
nearly all the mason contractors, and
has got the price down so low that it is
hardly possible for the masons to make
living wages, while the boss carpenter
receives the profit on the mason work
and also on the carpenter work. Also
there has come to our city irresponsible
carpenters who have taken contracts
to put up building and receive the
money for mason work and also car
penter work, and then disappear from
the city, leaving the property owner to
have to settle for the mason work
again to the mason contractors.
And in conclusion all the mason
contractors ask is for the boss carpen
tiers to leave the mason work for the
mason contractors. Com.

PRESIDENT FAURE is opposed to the
revision of the Dreytus case, and that
too in face of the evident fraud on the
part of the three most important wit
nesses against revisiOn-Henry, Clam,
Esterhazy. Pontius PLATE was opposed
to the condemnation Of Christ He
yielded to the popular cutlery; he pan
dered to the military spirit that de-
handed the death of one who claimed
a position belonging to Caesar, and
consented to the death of an innocent
man. His death by suicide was the
vengeance of an. outraged conscience.
President Faure is acting against his
moral convictions; he is seeking to
protect the army and to shield his
administration from dishOnor. To
accomplish this he is willing to subject
a man, generally believed to be innocent,
to the most inhuman of punishments
His resignation will not protect him
from the charge of responsibility; it
will not silence his conscience; it will
not preclude an investigation into the
details of an official crime that will
brand with infamy the present admin
istration and will arraign the militar
ism of the French Republic before
the bar of nineteenth century justice.
Plate shirked the responsibility Of
acquittal; Faure is Sinking the respon-
sibility of revision. Failure to assume
the first led to Pilates death; failure to
assume the second may lead to the
death of the French republics
