Aside from the large orders placed
ty the Pennsylvania railroad for cars,
the company expects to build during
the coming year 100 locomotives,

gether with the usual repair work.
Should the necessities of traffic require
more engines, the company will place

The officials nre hopeful that tho ccm-

English Have lost More Troops Than
Did America During the Whole
War With spain.

LONDON, Nov. I'm the
twenty days of hostilities in
South Africa the British army has
lost more men in killed and
wounded and captured than the
American army lost in the entire
war with Spain. While the bulk
of the British losses is due to the
capture of General Whites left
wing of Ladysmith, the total of
dead and wounded has already
reached high figures.
Only four less British officers
have been killed than were lost
by the American forces in the re.
cent conflict with Spain. The
number of British soldiers killed
is already more than half of that
of the United States troops. Esti-
mating at 1000 the number in the
captured column at Ladysmith
quoting official figures for other
losses in the American and Bri-
fish armies, the comparison
stands as follows:
American Centre war)-Killed,
% officers, $50 men; wounded, 113
officers, 1456 men; captured, none.
Total, 1S47.
British thus far-Killed, 10
officers, 1877 men; wounded. 81 of
ficers, 492 men, captured, officers
and men, 1907. Total, 1916.
