YANKEE HUSTLE BEATS BRITISH
 lSLOWNESS.

4 good deal Of comment has been
 caused by the news th2t the conrract for the bridge which is to carry the
 new Souden railway over .he KiveF Atbsra has been given tCi an American
 firm, n.nd it seems to have been a5- stunned in some quarters that 'rans2t' li.ntic ircnmaster had been preferred tn a British manufacturer, and that the Egyptian government had gone out of it's way to ignore this country. But the facts are eX1ctly the reverse. The English agents for the Egyptian gov el1ln ent, who had the ordering Of the Atbara bridge. gave the first chance t0 British traders, and would doubtless nave given them the sole chance but for the imperative importance of masters approached not one could guarantee delivery in the time at which delivery was required. Ooc English firm ran the Americans pretty cics" as to time; but speed being of palam ount importance. and as tue Americans could insure it in the great est measure, there wls no choice but tn go to them for the work. n con- trase with the promptitude with which they have shipped the component parts of the bridge may be placed the fact that the agents of the Egyptian gov el nment had to wait four months for one small bridge of thirty-one tons CT dered in England. Probably the re- cent engineering dispute was respon- siblc fer this. It will be found that the locomotives 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 GHsir iS do wit o11 sib-e dispatch, and as America IS in a position to guarantee greater speed than England, the government agents. with every desire to place their orders here, have had no choice but to go to the states for at least that portion of tEc order which could not wait.--Lon- don Times.

FOREIGN NOTES
 AND COMMENT

Privy Councillor von Rcttenburg, rec tor and state curator of the great Ger man university ait Bonn, at which so many distinguished Americans, includ- ing the great historian and diplomat, J. LcthrOp Motley, have been gradu- ated, is now on his way tc this country with his American wife, a daughter of the late Mir. Phelps, former United States ambassador at Berlin. The privy councillor, who, like his wife, is entitled to the predicate of 'fexcel- 1ency," is notable, not only as having been for the last fifteen years of Prince Bfsmarck's official career his most trusted and capable lieutenant and sec retary, but also in consequence of the part which he has taken in originating and championing the doctrine which holds it is the duty of the state to keep all those supplied with bread free of cost who have not the means where with to purchase the staff of life. This it need hardly be pointed out is state socialism with a vengeance, and it is strange to find a member of the old German aristocracy, a typical Prussian government official and the Son-in-law of an American millionaire, placing himself upon the same platform and using not only the same ideas but even

Mr.. Low has not been known hitherto

after a great deal of maneuvering Gov
