advertising columns Of the local
paper are read with as much in

whole paper is read with many an
eager eye. Unlike the city daily,
which gets a hasty glance for news

An experienced advertising man

wrote as follows concerning the To-
cal weekly newspaper:
"'The local paper takes the lead
in importance as an advertising
medium. 1t finds its way, free of
postage, to every village in its

THE WEEK IN 1oNpoS.

Copyright, 1899, by the Associated Press.
LONDON. April S--Amerfca's sue cess
ful competition in the industrial market.
where she is beating the Britlshers on
their own ground, is undoubtedly causing
great concern and heartburnings in Brit
lsh engineering circles. The acrimonious
protests OF English firms respecting tire
awarding Of the Arbara bridge contract
to a Philadelphia fiEm brought out clear
ly this feeling. and the attempts to ex-
plain Americas success by giut OF work
here does not harm0nize with the CON-
plants from English firms who have not
received orders which have been received
by America. As the s.. James Gazette
puts II: IF the British manufacturers
have 50 much work that they cannot ac-
cspt contracts, they are to be congratu-
lated. But, In than case, It is diffi-
cult to see why they are complaining"
The fact is that Industrial circles here
recognize that these contracts mean
more than mere evenescen; competition.
as in the case of American engines. the
railroad authorities here have conceived
the very highest opinion of American
work. This is borne out by the state
ment OF Manager Smell, of the locomotive
department of the Great Northern rail-
way, which recently ordered engines
from America. He said to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press:
Apart from the fact that American
builders are able to make more speedy
delivery than the English. there is no
doubt whatever thar American engines
are Of the highest excellence and that
their present features and improvements
are Of such utility as to attract the Gus
toms OF English companies"
The Daily Mail taking up the question,
urges system of profit sharing, with
the Introduction of the newest and most
improved machinery, as the method
whereby America can be fought and
worsted,' though the paper adds:
Eve must own that the nation is in
some degree suffering from lack of stren-
uouSncss, both in employers and en-
ployed" The secretary of the engi-
neerS society said to the correspondent
of the Associated Press;
I'VE certainly regret the transferrence
Of work belonging especially to the En-
gQish market, and it would be affectatfon
to deny that there is indignation and
much comment on the state of affairs,
We hope 1t win only prove temporary
but you know the danger"
Inquiries made by a representative of
the Associated Press regarding the Bel
yian syndicate which is about 20 send
4 party of engineers to study the con-
Of a railroad between Manila
and Batangas, south of the bay Of Ma
nna, show that the district has already
been surveyed five times. The work was
considered impracticable under the Span
sh regime.
The Spanish government made offers
% the Manila Railroad Company for the
of the line, but there was
no response from any quarter, as the
petty exactiOns and interference of the
spanish authorities rendered the enter
Prise most difficult.

THE NEW YORK FIRE WAS
OF INcENDIARY ORIGIN.
Believed to Have Been Caused by a
Jealous Servant Who Was Actuated
by a Desire for Revenge. 4

NEW YORK. April S.--Despite reticence
on the part Of the police, facts became
public today which made II apparent that
the fire which destroyed two houses and
resulted in the death of 13 persons was
Of incenhiary origin.
II has transpired chat few hours be-
fore the flames were seen. a policeman
was sent for from the Andrews house
and was mysteriously dismissed hy a
servant, who said he was not wanted.
Letters threatening the lives OF the An
drews family, and the children e Mrs.
ST. John were found 1t is believed the
motive for incendiarism was revenge, ana
that the AFFAIR rose out Of a quarrel
among the servants.

on anonymous letters

seems to have been the central figure IN
this alleged plot and the chief object
OF the supposed perpetrators was hate
The police toeay gave out three sour

members of the Andrews household One
was addressed to the servant, Mary Flan-

and am going to fix her for life. and
because you and Mrs. Andrews did not

throw something in your nurses and
