AMERICAN BIDS IN SOUTH AFRICA.
English ROLLINS stock Builders Discounted
in Time and Price

Cape Town, Oct 22-The witwatersrand
gold mines, requiring rolling stock for
coal. placed an order for fifteen heavy To-
cOmotives with British manufacturers last
August. Two tenders for more than two
hundred trucks were received from the
largest British and American factories.
the American tender being far more IA
vorable In point Of price and quickness or
delivery. The mining industry. being most
anxious to favor the British. called for
fresh tenders from British manufacturers,
giving them further opportunity, even
at the expense OF valuable time.
The American tenders are still much the
more advantageous. Nevertheless orders
for seventy-three fiat bottom trucks are
being placed in England, owing to suita-
bility OF design and to the strong advice
of the military railway authorities. who
have promised to lend their own trucks in
order TO eounterbalance the late British
delivery.
Orders for 1so bottom discharge trucks
have been placed in America. The British
nrms In South Africa are all anxious to
favor British trade, but the manufac-
turers must be more energetic, and realize
the necessity OF cheaper and quicker
work. time being often of paramount i'm

WANAMAkER BREAKS SILENCE.
Delivers His First Political Address in Two
Years Against Qnay Machine.

Pottstown, Pa, Oct. 22.-Former Post
master General John Wanamaker tonight
made his first political address IN two
years. His speech here was the beginning
of brief tour in the interest of the can
didates for the State legislature who are
opposed TO the Quay wing OF the Rapub-
lican party in this State.
At the beginning Of his address Mr..
Wanamaker said that four years ago he
spoke III advocacy of the election of Mr.
Mckinley, and would have done the same
this year had there been any question OF
Pennsylvania's vote for Mckinley. He
said also that he was in no wise a candi-
date for the Office of United States Sena-
tor, though had the Office come to him in
1896 he would have accepted it.
MIR. Wanamaker severely scored what
he termed ''the machine and said that
Tweedism at its worst was no worse than
Quayism at its best, but that there was no
best Quayism, as there is no good to bad.
He then spoke of the value of good gov
ernment and the benefits to be derived
therefrom
In this connection he referred to the
strike in the anthracite coal region and
said that good government would pre-
vent the fiagrant violation of the Consti-
tuition by the companies constituting them
selves miners, shippers, and merchants in
coal, keeping company stores, paving
wages at long intervals, denying check
weigkmen, employing children at deathIy
tasks, and endangering the lives of mi
ners by ignoring precautions for their
safety.
