BRITONS OBJECT TO ORDERS
FOR AMERICAN MACHINERY

London, Oct. 19.-Intense Indignation
prevails among British engineers and
manufacturers because of the report to
the effect that Major Girouard, Lord
Roberts director of South African rail
ways, intends to give Americans the
inside track over Britishers in the
matter of orders for locomotive rolling
stock, bridge materials and machinery
necessary to reconstruct the railroads
and machine shops destroyed in the
Boer war.
Major Girouard is the man who gave
the Americans the contract for the At
bara bridge in the Soudan, thereby pro-
voking a storm of anger and innuendo
in England. He is also the man who
later permitted Americans to equip the
great terminal station of the Soudan
railway at Cairo.

standing his alleged favoritism toward
Americans.
When Lord Roberts and Lord Kitch-
ener went to South Africa they took
Major Girouard along and subsequent
ly gave him complete control of the re
building of the South Africa railways,
including all the bridges and trestles
demolished by the Beers. Now he is
alleged to have informed his Yankee
friends of what is likely to be wanted,

when called upon.
Among those who are said to have
received such advance information are
the Union Bridge Company, the Car
negie Steel Company, the Niles tool
works, the Baldwin Locomotive Com
pany and the Lake Erie Engineering
Company.
The poignancy of British apprehen
sion in this connection is increased by
the fact that the Cape Parliament is
about to authorize the Cape govern
ment to expend FL 100000 ($7,5000OOl
in reconstructing and extending the
railways of the colony. According to
report, the war office in London pos

the tone of the joint note of Ii Hung

This demand is significant of the
growing influence of the anti-foreign
party. The fact that tribute of rice

Other dispatches from Shanghai re-
cite numerous rumors in circulation
there. Among these are reports that

Prince Tuan, is dead that Ii Hung

Gives Some Reasons why Bryan Should
Not BE Elected.
"The general reasons / gave in my
Carnegie hall speech in 1896 why Mr..
Bryan should not be elected still hold
good with me. His election would,
think, throw governmental and busi-
ness affairs into confusion. We should
not aid the election of President who
would admittedly, if he could, destroy
the gold standard, and other things that
we value even more, upon the decep-
tive suggestion that he has been bound
and that the Republican party will, af-
ter defeat, still have strength enough
to save the temple. 1t will be much
better not to allow the man with de-
structive tendencies so much as to lean

Colonel Campbell's wide acquaint-
