ulactories III Order To Keep the
Men at Work.

New York. March 7.-According to the
statements OF a gentleman representing
the Russian government, who has just
returned from a visit to st. petersburg
American manufacturers must not look
to the immediate receipt OF any large con-
tracts for equipment and material for the
t~rans-Siberian railroad. The gentleman
referred to, who is in close touch with
the officials aof>the Muscovite govern
ment, said: r4.-. ..-
prince Hilkoff, the Russian minister
of ways and communications lana NJ. de'
White, the finance minister, are entlrely
opposed at the to sending heavy
contracts out of the country. This decls-
ion has been arrived at in view of the
fact that several of the large Russian
manufacturing concerns are sDnttlng
down through lack of work. Orders for
5000 freight cars for the t~rans-Siberlan
road were being awarded just as l LETT
the capital to four Russian concerns that
were on the eve of suspending operations
because Of the dullness in trade. In fact.
these firms were actually in the hands of
receivers, owing to financial embarrass-
ments. The cars are to be delivered In
side of one year.. I was told by one of the
principal engineers in the ministry or
ways and communications that the trans

CONTRACTS fog bridges estimated to be
worth some $5o0sn9q have Just been placed
with Russian manufacturers. Such pro-
ceeding was actNateds partly by the min
ister',s policy, hut. II was also found h
while further fostering native Industries
by awarding the contracts to Russian
bridge makers the latter offered addition
al advantages. as they undertook to de-
liver the material by June, whereas the
best inducement al to delivery that
American bridge manufacturers could
make was completion Of the contracts by
November next."s.

Chinese eastern road the speaker who
acted last year as purchasing agent for
the system said: 81 expect to see q good
" Number OF .substantial orders emanate

three Americans out there now and I feel
assured that the result will be most
pleasing to manufacturers in the United
States" 3'ss &4
Reverting to the prospects of purchases
abroad for the trans-Siberfan road, he
said: "As I mentioned before. the Rus
sian government is very reluctant at
present to send heavy contracts out of
the country, but it would undoubtedly
welcome an influx of foreign capital and
is prepared tlgoffer many Inducements
for the building of manufacturing plants
