a New York dlspatch today says:

A New York dispatch today says:
According TO the statements OF gem
tleman representing the Russian gov
ernment, who has Just returned from
visit to st, Petersburg, American
manufacturers must not look TO the I'M
mediate receipt Of any large contracts
for equipment and material, for the
trans-siberian railroad.
The gentleman referred to, who Is In
close touch with the officials Of the
Muscovite government, said:
"Prlnoe Hilkon, the Russian minister
OF ways and communications. and NJ.
De Witte, the finance minister. are en-
tirely opposed az the moment to send
ing heavy contracts out Of the country.
This decision has been arrived at IN
view OF the fact that several Of the
large Russian manufacturing con-
Germs are shutting down through lack
OF work Orders for five thousand
lreight cars for the Siberian road
were being awarded just as | left the
capital to four Russian concerns that
iwere on the eve OF susponding opera
tions because OF the dullncss In trade.
I'm fact, these firms we're actually In
the hands OF receivers. owing 20 finan-
lcal embarrassment. The cars are 10
be delivered inside Of one year. | was
told by one Of the principal engineers
in the ministry OF ways and communi-
cations that the trans-Siberlan road
Will require 1900 cars IN all, so that
as contracts for Ave thousand have
been placed as above stated, 10000 more
win I've ordered.
Contracts for bridges, estimated to
be worth some $4,000. have Just been
placed with Russian manufacturers.
Such proceeding was actuated partly
by the minister's policy. but Il was also
found that while further fostering ma
tive industries, by awarding the con-
tracts TO Russian bridge-makers the
latter offered additional advantages. as
they undertook to deliver the material
by June. whereas, the best lnducemeut
as to delivery that American bridge
manufacturers could make was compile
tlon Of the contracts by November
next"
As TO the prospect Of orders for the
Chinese eastern road, the speaker, who
acted last year as purchasing agent for
that system. said
II expect 10 see a goodly number Of
substantial orders emanate from Port
Arthur before long. ! know OF three
Americans out there now, and I feel
assured that the result Will be most
pleasing to manufacturers In the Unit
ed States"
Revertlng TO the prospects Of pur-
chases abroad for the trans-slherian
road. he silld:
"As ! mentioned before the Russian
government Is very reluctant az pres
ent 10 send heavy contracts out OF the
country. but Il would undoubtedly well
come an influx Of foreign capital and
is prepared 10 offer mapy inducements
for the building Of manufacturing
plants In many desirable localities
