AN ENGLISH TEST.
American Locomotives Said tn Be Less

LONDON, June G-The Midland Railway
Company, since the latter half of lS99 has
been using forty American locomotives
Samuel w. Johnson superintendent of the
locomotive department of the company will

results of six months comparative tests
made with standard Midland good engines
under the same conditions showed the ex-
ira working cost of the American locomo-
tives over the British TO be from 20 to 25
per cent. in fuel. 30 per cent. in oil and 60
per cent. in repairs. 1T must be said that
the American engines worked the trains
satisfactorily" Mr.. Johnson will say, but
their inferiority in the three points named
is incontestible." The American locomo-
tives in question cost 500 less than the
British. They were delivered In the course
of few months, while the locomotives or

Johnson's statement in the Daily Mail, but
will say: I'm the United States they make
their engines on an entirely different prin-
ciple and with quite an opposite idea to
ours as TO their future. In the United
States you take an engine of a peg. as Il
were, and from then work IL right out till
it dies. giving IL no rest The American
contention is that by the time il is done
for something better will come along. We
make our engines as good as we possibly
can, and then We tend them carefully. rest
them. clean them and do everything to
make them last. Although the Midland
Railway Company would not give another
order unless in exceptional circumstance
IL would not be correct to say that the
American locomotives are not good. The
Americans can make them well as We
can, but the conditions are different. Ours
are better under all circumstances. There
