IRON WORK FOR INDIA.
American Outbidding of britain In
House of Commons.

LONDON, May 9.--Replylng TO ques-
ton In the House OF Commons to-day, as
TO whether the Indian Government had
given the order for the Goktick viaduct'
in Burmah, 10 an American firm, and why
British manufacturers had not been ask
ed TO make a tender, the Secretary OF
state for India. Lord George Hamilton,
replied that the Indian Government had
nothing TO do with the contract. II was
given. he said. by the Burmah Halfway
Company. which invited six English ana
two American firms 10 make tenders.
Four OF the former refused 10 bid, ana
the most favorable English tender re-
ceiyed required three years for completion
Of the work, at q cost Of &lls,vvo.
while the best American tender proposed
TO complete the work in one year, al a
cost OF c6O.12J. The company had, under
these circumstances. accepted the tender
OF the American company.
Lord George Hamilton added that the
Indian railways always gave preference
to British manufacturers, but. he was
sorry TO say, that this was not the first
contract in which there was marked
adherence in the price and time OF de-
livery between British and American
tenders.

NORFOLK, VA. May 9.-(special)-In
demented state. Policeman James Tyson,
OF this city, tonight ran amuck and
shot ]. Wilbur Stakes while the latter was
on his way home. Stakes received two
bullets in his back. one Of which is
thought TO have penetrated his lungs,
and another in the arm. He lies at ST.
Vlncent's Hospital. where his death is
momentarily expected. After committing
the act, the demented policeman, the
smoking revolver stlll in hand. attempted
to escape in a boat, which was chained.
but later he proceeded TO police head
quarters. where he demanded protection
from a horde OF men on bicycles. whom
he imagined were seeking to kill him.
Some two years ago Tyson lost a promis-
ing son, and since then he has been silent
and morose, and It is thought that his
grief has preyed upon him to the extent
OF driving him crazy. The man he shot
was a stranger 10 him.

not seeming 10 see the car, ran out In
front OF it too late FOR the motorman TO
stop II. though II was not going at a high
rate Of speed. He did not think she saw
the car until il struck her: nor did he
think the result could have been avoided
by the motorman.

was running Car No. 6. He was arrested
soon after the occurrence and taken TO
the First Police Station, where Mr.. Cow
ardln, superintendent Of the Traction
Company went on his bond. and he was
bailed for his appearance at the Police
Court this morning.

Captain Charles Clay, Of the Seventeenth
Infantry. Captain Clay IL a native Of
Lexington, Ky, and a grandson of Henry

hottest action OF the Santiago field. when
his men were lying behind cover for a
shelter from a shower Of bullets, he

skill that IL was worthy OF more atten-
