AMERICAN IRON IN THE SOUDAN.
From, The London Globe.

From The Lonuon Oiope.
We hope that some satisfactory explanation may
be forthcoming on behalf OF our own iron manu-
facturers OF the statements from Philadelphia
that not only orders for locomotives for English
railways but the contracts for the bridge over
the Atbara River were given to an American firm
because It undertook to build the bridge In seven
weeks whereas English firms wanted seven months
10 do the work Apart from patriotic considera-
tons one would have thought that. where the
economy Of time object, British firms would
have had the advantage for work In the Soudan.
But IT, as Philadelphia cables state, British builders
ask seven months for work which the Americans
will perform In less than two. there is nothing
more to be said. Even superiority of workmanship
and finish would not compensate for the absence OF
the bridge at the time II would be needed for the
passage Of troops; and II our methods of work
so inelastic that we cannot comply with the re-
ourements of our War Office foreign rivals
must be allowed to step in. It is this ineastlcity
and lack of adaptabty 10 the varying needs OF
the worlds markets. which charged against
the British manufacturers and traders everywhere.
OF course, there IL some sentimental consolation
when another branch OF the Ango-saxon race gets
the orders which we miss; but American pipes for
GLASGOW American rails and locomotives for India
and England. and American bridges for the Soudan
are only few OF the facts for which sentiment Is
q poor consolation.

FOR A GREAT CANAL

ALBANY, N. Y, July 26.-Engineer Geo.
w. Rafter in charge of the survey for the
proposed ship canal from the great lakes

preliminary work and drawn his report.
The project is to cut a canal thirty feet

the width of the Erie canal from Lake

leaving Lake Ontario at Oswego. through

great dam at Carthage. on the Black river,
in Jefferson county making a lake cover

GENERAL WEYLER
Warns the Spanish Government ofthe
Danger of Revolution.

MADRID, July 26.-The discussion
of the army bill in the senate to-day
led to an exciting scene. Gen. Weyler,
arguing against any reduction of the
strength Of the army, warned the gov
eminent that the present situation
made a revolution highly probable,
since it had never been so easy for the
army and the people to make common
cause He himself, he said, had never
thought of heading a rising, but 1t
must be confessed that revolution
Sometimes cleared the political atmos-
phere and accomplished the work of
regeneration.
Senior Dato, minister of the interior,
replying, severely censured Gen. Wey-
Ter, declaring that a general who, with
100000 men had failed to suppress the
Cuban rebellion, had no right to make
such threats and that any attempt at
revolution, no matter by whom, would
be proceeded against with the utmost
vigor of the law. The senators warm
ly applauded Senator Dato's speech.
The army bin was adopted.

POLES AND SLAVS.
A New Labor Organization Forming
in Pit.sburg Among Common La
bOrers.

PITTSBURG Pa, July 26.-The Dispatch
tomorrow will print the forecast of a la
Dor organization which, if carried through
successfully, promises to be a tremendous
factor in the labor world in this vicinity.
1t seems that for some time past secret
work has been carried on for the organiza-
ton of the Poles and Slavs in the mills
along Penn avenue, and quite a formidable
union has already been effected. 1t is the
intention of the organization to make de-
mands on August for better pay, shorter
hours and the correction of a number of
alleged abuses. None but Poles and Slavs
can become members of the union and it
seems the intention is to have the COM
panies employ none but Poles and Siavs
for common labor about the mills. The
chief grudge of the foreigners is against
the negro laborers. and they want to get
rid of them entirely. 1t is said a Polish
priest is one of the principal leaders in the
movement. And he is assisted by some of
the prominent interpreters about the city.
When it is considered that the unskilled
labor about a mill outnumbers the skilled
labor several times and that the big major
ity of the laborers are Poles and Slavs
the great power of an organization of these
workers can be appreciated.
