AMERICAN PUSH "oETs THERE"
London Newspa per Admits Defeat of
British Trade.

London Newspaper Admits Defeat of
British Trade.
American hustle is at last acknowl-
edged to bea. British slowness, when
even the slowest Of London newspa-
pers, the Times, Is found admitting our
comercial alertness In these words:
"a good deal of comment has been
caused by the news that the contract
for the bridge which is to carry the new
Soudan railway over the River Atbara
has been given to an American firm,
and it seems to have been assumed in
some quarters that. trasatlantic
ironmaster had been preferred to a
British manufacturer and that the
Egyptian government had gone out OF
its way to ignore this country. But
the facts are exactly the reverse. The
English agent for the Egyptian govern
ment, who had the ordering of the At
bara bridge, gave the first chance to
British traders and would doubtless
have given them the sole chance but
for the imperative Importance Of
speedy delivery. OF the British iron
masters approached not one could guar
Antee delivery in the time at which de-
livery was required.
zone English firm ran the Americans
close as to time. but speed being of
paramount Importance and as the
Americans could insure it in the great
est measure, there was no choice but
to go to them for the work. In con-
trast to the promptitude with which
they have shipped the component parts
of the bridge may be placed the fact
that the agents Of the Egyptian govern
ment had to wait four months for one
small bridge Of thirty-one tons ordered
in England. Probably the recent en-
cheering dispute was responsible for
this. 1t will be found that the locomo-
tives for the Soudan Railway, or, at all
events, the first batch delivered, will
come from America. The reason in
this case Is precisely the same. The
desire is to get delivery with all pos
sible dispatch, and as America is in a
position to guarantee greater speed
than England the government here
have had no choice but to go to the
States for at least that portion Of the
order which could not wait"
