rica.
Cape Town, Nov. 10.-Dr. ]. w.
Smart, commissioner of public works
of Cape Colony, in the course of a
letter to the papers here, dealing with
the mission of the general manager Of
the Cape government railways.
Charles Blettermen Elliott, and his
says Mr.. Elliott has cabled that his
total purchases and orders for Cape
railways placed in America do not eX-
ceed 5000. DR.. Smart says:
The approximate value of the roll
ing stock ordered during the last two
years is e1,050,000, of which British
firms have supplied about 100000. Or
ders for railway stores, apart from the
rolling stock of July, 1900, to Septem-
Der, 1901, aggregate G905. 300 of which
Great Britain supplied eS99.657'
IN statement accompanying the
letter the commissioner of public works
compares at length the experience of
the Cape government in connection
with the cost and time of delivery in
the case of orders placed in Great Bril-
tain with the experience in the case of
orders placed in the United States. He
shows that the Americans supplied To-
comotives within ten months, whereas
the British manufacturer required
ffom twelve to eighteen in spite of the
offers of a premium for delivery in ad-
vance of the contract time. He also
shows that the American engines were
satisfactory and the prices far below
the British. An order for rails for a
light line was placed on the continent
at "a lbs Cd per ton, the lowest Brit
ish tender being &c As 4d.
Trucks to the value of e2,630 were
obtained in Hungary at about one half
or the price of the lowest British ten
der.
The agent general was authorized to
give the Britishers a preference of 10
per cent, but not unless they were pre-
pared to meet the requirements OF
prompt delivery and reasonable prices
in comparison with others, and to
adapt themselves to the colony's re-
quirements and conditions as these
were met in the United States and on
the continent.
1t is suggested that the suppression
OF Mr. Elliott will not maintain trade
to the British.

WILL BE ARRESTED.
Warrant for Commissioner Glenn
Charging Criminal Libel.

Atlanta, Nov. 10.-State School Com
missioner G. r. Glenn will be arrested
tomorrow morning in his Office at the
state house by Sheriff w. NJ Inglish
of Washington county on warrant
charging criminal libel. The warrant
is sworn out by County Commissioner
]. N. Rodgers of Washington, who
based his action on letter written by
Glenn to the School Board of Washing
ton county in which the inference was
made that If an expert were to ex-
anime the accounts of Rodgers they
would be found to be short.
Sheriff Inglish arrived in Atlanta late
tonight and at first refused to state
the object of his coming When the
arrest is made in the morning the
greatest surprise will be widespread as
very few o-night have any idea OF
what the visit of Sheriff Ingljsh means.
There will be no display of force
at the arrest as the sheriff says he
expects to inform the commissioner
quietly of his purpose and politely.
The correspondence out of which has
grown the charge arose over the pay
ment of negro, Elder and his wife
who assisted in conducting an insti-
tute in Washington county.

now employed on the exposition
grounds and the Midway City is going
up like magic. The housing commit
tee of the woman's department has
already secured more than 10000 lodg-
ings for exposition visitors in private
families and boarding houses. The
usual rate for lodgings will be one
dollar day and for lodgings and
breakfast $125. Nearly every house IN
Charleston will be converted for the
exposition period into a house of en-
tertainment and the sentiment
of the community is against
every attempt to exact heavy
tolls of the visitors. The railroads
have agreed upon low rates. 80 per
cent lower than the rates made for
Buffalo. and the City Council will pass
an ordinance next Tuesday for the pro-
lection of the roads from the scalpers.
The attendance on the exposition
promises to be at least twice what the
promoters of the project expected, and
the exposition will be the most artistic
ever held in the South.

LaLupcha, bemoaning the incident,
says:
There yet remain several more

the most difficult stages. especially in
a condition of affairs where people are
not actuated by conviction but by pass
ing personal likes and disIikes AMI
mutual distrust. Such laundering as
has been shown by our officials would
be incomprehensible unless we decide
to class them with the crowd they are
supposed to direct and say that as
types they are on a par with the rest.
They can never be qualified to direct

Cincinnati Nov. 1O.-With almost
half the official returns from the sS
counties in Ohio received, it is estimat-

less than for governor two years ago,

most quarter of a million less than
for president last year, when the total
vote of Ohio was 1,049,12l
Notwithstanding the increase in pop
ulation during the past thirteen years,
the total vote will likely be much less
than for President in 1888, when IL was
Sn,941, and probably less than has been
cast for governor since that time, with
a single exception.

Tom Reed has come out from un- der cover and appeared before the senate committee on finance, which IS considering the bill reducing war tax es that was passed by the house. as attorney for the poor downtroddeh sellers of corporation stock, who are crying for the taking OH or the tax Of :, cents upon each S1oO or the lace value of stocks sold. MT Reed s pflh- cipaI argument was that the tax was in many cases more than the selllhs value of stock. 1t struck many as q poor argument. inasmuch as stocks which are sold at less than cents for each S10O of their face value would seem to belong properly to what are known as wild cats," and should not be sold at all.
