Big Locomotive Contract.

New York, Oct. Announcement that
the Cook Locomotive Works in Paterson
n. j. had received an order for SO en-.
gines to be built for the Southern Pacific
railroad has caused universal rejoicing
among the locomotive workers in Paterson
as, since the closing of the Rodgers works
the outlook for building has been rather
discOuraging. As the locomotives are to
be built in hurry, night and a day
force will be organized. The work is to
begin at once and the men have been
promised steady employment for months
Already 800 men, who were formerly in the
Rodgers works, have secured employment
Each Of the locomotives to be built will
weigh 100 tons and the cost is estimated
at $4,000 each. There are about 1909
men in Paterson who were employed in
the Rodgers works. Three weeks ago Mr.
Rodgers announced he would close the
works and quit the business. The city
has since been making efforts to save the
industry.

London, Oct with the Chinese mud

some opportunity of paying attention to
the quiet ending Of the war in South Afri.
ca
Out Of 10000 wounded, 10000 have act,,.
ally returned to duty. Such quick recov-
cry OF such large percentage Of the
wounded rather breaks down Raron
Bloch's theory that modern war is I'M
possible notwithstanding its slaughter,
though it is possible 1900 soldiers have
found graves in South Africa.
London is in state Of expectancy
awainting the return Of the City Imperial
volunteers from South Africa, and as soon
as the elections are over the country will
give itself up to period of jubilant an
tlcipation pending the arrival OF Lord Rob-
erts, whose return home will be marked
by celebrations such as Great Britain has
not seen for many year.
The attitude Of the Canadian electors
towards the policy Of sending soldiers to
South Africa from Canada is awaited here
with some interest. The Globe editorially
expresses the hope that Mr.. Bouassa and
others agreeing with his ideas may Ike de-
feated, but adds:
whether Sir Wilfred laurie the pre-
mer, is returned or not, we believe the
next administration Of Canada will be
even more strongly imperialist than at
present"

is a cardinal number; otherwise 1t
would read "in this 1S99th year of our
