TRIBUTE TO THE YANKEE.
An English Judgment on American
Work

Nothing within the past year or two
has directed more attention the world
over to the capacity for rapid and good
work in American engineering estab-
lishments than the recent award Of
the contract for bridge over the
Atbara river, tributary to the Nile
in the Soudan, to an American firm of
bridge builders. The bridge was
needed most urgently for railroad use
in connection with Sir Herbert
Kitchener's famous military opera
tons; indeed, time was Of the first
Importance, and in this respect the
American bidders distanced all other
bidders, guaranteeing to deliver the
whole bridge of seven spans in seven
weeks, while the earliest delivery that
could be obtained from any of the
British firms was for two of the spans
in SIX months. Why American build
ers should in this instance have led
the world and have crowded British
firms out of territory which they
might well have considered peculiar
ly their own is an interesting ques-
tfon. Improvements in methods, the
introduction of time and labor-say-
ing devices, with the incidental reduc-
ton Of costs, furnish a ready answer;
and it is particularly interesting to
'pote that as not the least OF these i'm
fproyements electrical conveniences
have been cited. Electrically driven
shop tools, heavy ones as well as light
ones, have eliminated many difficult
ties 9foperation, and electric cranes
have greatly simplifed the handling
Of heavy pieces. The principle of
portability in the tools, moreover, has
been applied to the widest possible ex-
tent, and in itself has contributed
almost as much as any one other thing
to that rapidity and excellence of out
put for which American shops have
become ed.-Cassier's Magazine.

The Dreyius Case to be Revised.

PARIS, May 2s.-The Court of Cas-.
satlon met to-day to hear the debate on
the application for revision OF the
Dreyfus case. There was much anima-
tion in the lobbies of the Palace OF JUS
tice but the crowds In the vicinity were
not large. Amid profound silence, the
President of the Civil Section of the
Court. NJ. Ballot de Beaupre, read his
report on the case. He upheld the
statement that there was sufficient pre-
sumption that doubts aud errors exist
ed and that they justified revision OF
the case. The revision, he contended,
was imperative, and in support of his
statement, he rehearsed the facts on
which the application FOR revision was
based, among which he included the
culpable Vaccinations OF Colonels Hen
ry and Patty du Clam against Dreyius.
