LONDON, April s.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Speclal Telegram.)-A British
resident of Egypt has furnished the follow
ing report to Lord Salisbury: I'm the mat
ter of the bridge contract recently let the
time of delivery was even more important
consideration than the price. An English
firm offered to deliver the work in six and
one half months for G10, ,490. The price
asked by the American firm was E6,500 for
delivery In forty-two days and the Amer
lean offer was therefore accepted. These
facts merit the attention of bridge builders
bridge in question is in the hands of an
Italian contractor.
Lord Kitchener Is assaied for having, as
alleged, made alterations at the request of
American contractors without notifying Br t.
ish firms of the alterations This incident,
together with the large orders for loco
motives placed by English railroad compan-
les with American firms, have put British
manufacturing engineers on the defensive
and the charge against Kitchener which
is being brought before Parliament is
to justify their own hidebound methods
which are leaving them behind in the COM
petitive race. The employers alege that
the restrictions under which they are placed
in the employment of apprentices by the
rules of trade unions renders it impossible
for them to keep pace with other countries,
where trades unionism has not the same

mach, the first physician to practically ap-
ply the new instrument for photographing
the interior Of the stomach by an adapta-
tion of Roentgen rays, this morning said
at the Charlie hospital:
This instrument is manufactured by
Kohl of Chemntz and has been used here
for some weeks with most valuable results.
1t Is destined, in my opinion to prove of
enormous advantage in treating all stomach
disorders. 1t has, indeed, twofold use
first, for the pathologist to observe the
course of disease in the stomach and second
for the psychologist who desires to follow
the mechanical and chemical action of that
organ. l have applied 1t with both objects
and 1t has worked admirably. 1t Is not yet
perfected, but 1t has been found invaluable
here in diagnosis and already through its
instrumentality important discoveries have
been made in connection with the constitu-
ents of gastric juice and in following the
action of the acids and pepsin Of gastric
juices on albuminous and gelatinous bodies

elaborate treatment, we could only grope
after doubtfully and ascertain uncertainty.

ment, especially in the cure Of that curse of

MRS. GEORGES CASE OPENED
Her Attorney Outlines the situation,
hut Does Not Indicate His
Line of Defense.

CANTON, o., April S.--Nhen court opened
in the George trial today Attorney Wety
at once began his statement of the case OF
the accused TO the jury. He reviewed the
litigation between Saxton and the Georges
at considerable length. lie emphasized Mrs.
Georges claim OF Saxton's promise to marry
her, as well as Saxtons alleged means OF
deceiving her by making such promises. He
said there had been some threats, but evil
dence, he said, would show different inter-
probation on them than outlined by the state.
He did not, however, in his statement OF
forty-fve minutes, indicate the line Of de-
fense to be pursued. He said Mrs. George
loved Saxton to the hour of his death and
had committed no crime
Witnesses for the state were then called
and sworn. County Surveyor John p.
Hoover was first called and explained a plan
of the streets and lots in the vicinity of
the scene of the tragedy
More than an hour was consumed in hav-
ing the engineers chart explained. Some
changes were ordered in 1t. Then soon after
1890, the jury in charge OF the sheriff, was
taken to the scene of the tragedy to view
the surroundings.
The jury returned from the scene to which
1t was accompanied by Mrs. George in a
carriage in charge of turnkey. Shortly
after returning to the court room court ad
journed till Monday.
