ALL CUT UP OVER TT.
British Still Annoyed by Successful
American Competition.
Awarding of the Atbara Bridge Con-
tract TO Philadelphia Firm
Causes Deep Concern I'm
British Industrial World.

Americas successful competition IN
the industrial market, where she is beat
ing the Britishers on their own ground
is undoubtedly causing deep concern
aud heartburnings in British engineer
ing circles. The acrimonious protests
of English firms respecting the award
ing of the Atbara bridge contract to a
Philadelphia firm brought out clearly
this feeling and the attempts TO explain
Americas success by glut of work in
England do not harmonic with the
complaints from English firms who
have not received orders which have
been sent to America. AS the London
St. James Gazette puts it:
IF the British manufacturers have so
much work that they cannot accept
contracts they are TO be congratulated.
But, in that case, ii is difficult to see
why they are complaining"
The fact is that industrial circles in
England recognize that these contracts
mean more than mere evanescent COM
petition, as, in the case of American
engines, the railroad authorities in
England have conceived the very high
est opinion of American work. This is
borne out by the statement of Manager
Smell, of the locomotive department of
the Great Northern Railway, which re-
Gently ordered engines from America.
He said:
Apart from the fact that American
builders are able TO make more speedy
delivery than the English, there is no
doubt whatever that American engines
are of the highest excellence and that
their present features and improve
ments are of such utility as to attract
the custom of English companies"
The Daily Mail, taking up the ques-
ton, urges a system of profit sharing,
with the introduction of the newest and
best machinery, as the method where
by America can be fought and worst
ed" though the paper adds:
1--WE must own that the nation is in
some degrse suffering from lack of
strenuousness both in employers and
employed"
The secretary of the engineers socie-
~ said:
I'VE certainly regret the transfer
EeKee of work essentially belonging TO
our market and il would be affectation
10 deny there is Indignation and much
comment on the state of affairs. We
hope it will prove only temporary trans
ference; but, you know the danger"

NEED NEW UNIFORMS.
Attention to n BIue-Striped Linen
Uniform Used by Spaniards.

A number of Recommendation in the
interest of the health and comfort of
the American troops in Cuba and Porto
Rico have been made by Inspector Gen.
Breckenridge, who has just re-
turned from an inspection trip in those
islands.
While all the American troops in Porto
Rico were found comfortably housed.
Gen. Breckenridge discovered that many
of the men in Cuba were in tents,
though the war department. since his
report reached it. has been making
strong efforts to get all the troops into
barracks before the rainy season.
The great fault found by Gen. Breck-
inridge was in the matter of clothing.
The khaki uniforms, with which most
of the men were supplied, have turned
all shades of color from white 10 aldirty
brown and are not satisfactorily serv-
ing their purpose. He has brought TO
the attention of the department blue
striped linen uniform used by the Span
iards.

Judgment Paused ON an Erratec Ca
nine by Justice Neelen. of
Milwaukee.

Albert Pope, of Milwaukee, had a
st. Bernard puppy named Major. The
dog ran away and was taken ia by Fred
Lewis, who kept him awhile and then
sold him to a milkman named George
Heiden. The dog wandered again on
hisown accord, was arrested and locked
up in the police station. Julius Goetz
caught the animal, kept it awhile, and
gave it TO Louis Borghoefer, who did
not like il and kicked ii out, Then it
went back to Pope, where Heiden
found and claimed it. When he broke
down the door the dog followed him
away, and when Pope had Heiden ar
rested for stealing the brute, Justice
Neelen decided that the dog was loaf
er and a tramp and had no owner.
