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 fer 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 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.

where he received his technical educa-
ton. His first work was with the Ca
madam Pacific railway. and while thus
employed he came constantly in con-
tact with business men of the United
States. Their ingenuity. alertness and
rapid-fire methods won his admiration.

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,
with the intimation that they had bet
ter prepare TO make quick delivery
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 f1.5OO.OOo tSI.500,OO0,
in reconstructing and extending the
railways of the colony. According to
report, the war office in London pos
sesses information tending to confirm
the general fear that the Atbara bridge
incident may be repeated on vastly
larger scale.

ma. in order to obtain under any form
whatever such territorial advantages
the two contracting parties reserve TO
themselves the right to come to n pre-
liminary understanding regarding the
eventual step TO he taken for the pro-
lection of their own interests In China.
'Fourthly. the two governments will
communicate this agreement 10 the
other powers Interested. especially
Austria. Hungary. France. Italy, Jap
an. Russia and the United States. and
invite them 10 accept the principles re-
corded in IT.
