INVADING ENGLAND,s MARKETS.

Superiority of American Cars and L0-
cOmotives Recognised.
Consul General Long, at Cairo. has made
a report to the State Department In regard
to American locomotives in Egypt in which
he says:
Many and impressive evidences Of the
efficiency Of the United States system OF
building up and promoting home industries
are afforded by the recent rapid expansion
of our exports Of manufactured goods In
all parts of the world. and especially In
Egypt While our makers Of agricultural
implements and machinery are just begin
ming to properly appreciate the value and
Importance of the new field In the great
valley of the Nile, 1t will be observed from
a recent report of Lord Cromer. British
agent and consul general in Egypt. on the
finances, administration and condition OF
Egypt and the Sudan in 1899. that Ameri-
can builders of railway locomotives, whose
foresight and enterprise carried them into
successful competition with the English
there few years ago, are still holding the
field, and 1t may be confidently assumed
that they are there to stay.
To-day there are forty-six American To-
comotives either in use or ordered by the
Egyptian railway administration: 81 cars
are in use and orders for 400 more cars
have been placed. The superiority Of
American engines and cars, as well as of
all other railway equipment and supplies.
is conceded by railway officials and ex-
perts. and the demands upon our shops will
continue to grow with increasing rapidity.
1.-THE people Of the United States may
look with pardonable pride upon our sue
cess in furnishing electrical engines for
London, locomotives for railways in India
and Great Britain, iron bridges for the
Sudan and machinery and manufactured
goods for all countries. Having supplied
our own markets, we now send forth the
machinery that Is to aid civilization in all
parts of the globe. from the burning des-
erts Of the Sudan to the frozen fields Of
Siberia"

Oid-Time Democrat Wanted.
'DEST POSSIBLE SELECTION"
Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania on the
Republican National Ticetk.

The ticket nominated at Philadelphia
was the very best one that could have been
selected" said Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania
to Star reporter today. Gov. Stone is in
the city for few days. visiting his daugh-
ter. Mrs. Percy Hickling. He was present
at the meeting of the republican rational
convention.
Il believe we will increase the republican
majority in Pennsylvania next fall. We
had a pretty good majority four years ago.
but VIII run ahead this time, in my
opinion.
Il don't see why everybody should not
vote for Mckinley and Roosevelt and re-
publican prosperity. No state in the Union
is more interested than Pennsylvania in
the principles enunciated by the republic
cans, and certainly the personality of the
men at the head of the ticket should be ac-
ceptable to ALL"
Gov. Stone said that 1t was not likely that
an extra session of the Pennsylvania legis-
lature would be called to fill the vacancy
al present existing in the United States
senatorship. He said the legislature would
meet In regular session early in January,
and as Congress will not meet until Decem-
Der there would be no use in putting the
state TO the expense Of an extra session

NEARLY EIGHTY EXAMINED.
Candidates for Census ONCE Faced u
Unusually Trying Ordeal.

Ohubu1lfy 1TyihB OEUSAs
This was the last day for examination for
positions in the census office. and seventy
eight men and women struggled earnestly
with the problems from o'clock this morn
ing until late this afternoon. The room
where the examinations were held was
crowded, and Examiner johnson said It
was the largest number Of candidates Of
the year. 1t was really the severest test
the applicants have had, for every ona
knew 1t was the only chance for getting
into the census bureau If they fail today
there will be no other examination given,
for Director Merriam has given strict or
ders to close the examinations. And so the
applicants today were under q strain from
the opening question. The room was ex-
ceeedingly close and warm, and several
women were forced to abandon the work
because Of the heat. Several came near
fainting.
Director Merriam told reporter of The
Star this morning, that 1t was useless for
people to file applications for positions in
the census office. for there would be abso,
lutely no chance. 1.-The roster Is full. and
we have no room for any one beyond those
already certified
There was another big jam at the census
Office today. From the opening Of the build
ins until closing time came there was an
eager and expectant crowd. The appoint
ment division was the goal. 1t became ap-
parent before 10 o'clock this morning that II
Appointment Clerk Langley was to transact
any business 1t would be necessary to shut
the door. This was done and Waterman
was stationed outside to keep the crowd
back.
When noon came it looked as If cyclone
had been at work in the room. Papers
were strewrt' about the floor and several
charwomen were called in to right matters.
while the occupants slipped out for little
lunch. The work in the appointment d.
vision is fast nearing Completion, and ar
engagements are being made to transfer the
clerks who have worked so faithfully and
well to other divisions. Every one will be
taken care Of for Director Merriam boasts
about the efficiency Of this department, pre-
sided over by Chief Patterson.
