Detriment of His Fellows.

LONDON. March %. In the contro-
English and American workmen no state
ment has aroused so much attention and
bitter contradiction as the assertion that
an American bricklayer will place 1900

the Britishers S 800. Mr.. Stewart. the man

great plant of the Westinghouse com

Today j. Oldham, an English bricklayer
of twenty-five years standing, who has
worked extensively in America also and
has been delegate for his branch of the
International Union of Bricklayers in
America. sends a letter to the Times, -
in which he says that though American
bricks are lighter and smaller than Eng

Mr.. Stewart had ever been laid down or
even thought of. The American bricks

inches in thickness-takes 1,170 to meas

In working in America for what are
called front Jumpers who pay a dollar
day more than the union rate, every salts
faction is given when 500 to 700 bricks are
set, according to the class of work While
the average lowest class of work is less
than 1000. the quality of the work bears
no comparison with the English He adds
that very few Americans are employed on

built by Englishmen. and the most sue
cessful contractors in the class of work
in which it is possible for the largest
number of bricks to be laid are English

NEWS OF THE DA Y FROM FOREIGN CAPITALS

ject from a hygienic point of view, and
enters into an elaborate defence of the
cigarette:
THE cigarette is practically in direct
contact with the air, from the lighted end
to the mouthpiece. Thus the smoke is
invariably pulled. while the products of
combustion are complete. The pipe, on
the other hand, is more like retort in
which destructive distillation with the
formation of acrid oils are set up.
"One strong objection TO the cigarette
is that combustion is close to the nose
and mouth. Thus, air is constantly in
hailed containing smoke from the lighted
end, which is infinitely more pungent
than the smoke drawn through the Gig
arctic. Much of the mischief from Gig
arctic smoking arises from this fact. II
smoke from the burning tip of the Gig
arctic is purposely inhaled for time
sense of stupor sets in. while smoke
drawn through the cigarette may be
breathed the same way with comparative
impunity.
The same result is obtained with
cigar, but in a still more emphatic way.
The use Of the cigarette or cigar holder
is therefore calculated to obviatc two
sources of mischief"

TO TAKE ACTIVE CONTROL.
w. K. Vanderbilt May Take Presidency
of All His Properties.

NEW YORK, March 29.-Friends of
President Marvin Hughitt, of the Chicago
Northwestern Railroad, say that for per-
sonal reasons he will retire from the ac-
tivities OF railroad business this. spring.
William X. Vanderbilt is mentioned as
the successor to President Hughitt, and
in connection with his report the state
ment is made by high Vanderbilt au-
thority that Mr.. Vanderbilt will become
president OF all of the railroads under his
control next fall.
Mr. Vanderbilt. it is explained, is
sensitive man, and, having been held re-
sponsible and criticised for different
things done by Vanderbilt roads. he de-
sires to Stake active control, and shape
his own policies. The operating depart
ments of the several Vanderbilt roads
will be strengthened, 1t is said, and high
salaried executive departments will be-
come thing of the past.

THE RULING ON AMENDMENTS
Speaker Henderson to Decide Amend

Change Intent of Bill for a Specific
Purpose.

1t is now certain that the Ways and
Means Committee bill making reciprocal
reduction of 20 per cent in the duties on
imports from Cuba will be favorably re-
ported from tie committee, and will be
passed by the House.
No rule to bar out amendments will be
reported. Speaker Henderson, however,
will rule that as the bill is one for a spe-
cifc purpose amendments which will
change its intent will be out of order. IL
appeals from his ruling are taken the
managers have assurances that suff-
Gent number Of Republicans will vote to
sustain him.
Chairman Payne issued a call yester-
day for a meeting of the committee for
tomorrow morning at 10:30 o'clock, when
the bill will be taken up for consideration.
Representative Babcock. who was to
have gone to Atlantic City for his health.
will remain over so as to vote on the
bill in committee.
The understanding, it was said last
evening, is the measure will be reported
to the House tomorrow afternoon and

REVENUE CUTTER
SERVICE BILL UP
CROZIER TO BE CONFIRMED.
Believed That Senate Will Approve His
and Other Army Appointments.

1t is probable that the nominations of
Gen. William Crozier, to be Chief of Ord
nance, Gen. George B. Davis to be Judge
Advocate General of the army, and Gen.
eral Gillespie to be Chief of Engineers
will be confirmed by the Senate.
The nominations will be reported favor
ably by the Senate Committee on Mill
tary Affairs at its meeting next Thurs
day.
There has been considerable objection
made to the confirmation of these nomi-
nations, and especially to that of General
Crozier. Charges have been made to The
committee by civilian inventors OF ord
nance that CroZier is not qualified to give
an unbiased judgment on the merits OF
ordance type now under consideration
as he is himself an inventor.
1t has been claimed that General Cro
zier is opposed to the adoption of any
ordnance designed by men outside of the
army. The attorneys for a wire-wound
gun have been especially active in their
opposition.
There has been some fear that in view
of the recent disagreements between the
Secretary of War and the members of the
committee adverse action would be taken
in the matter of these nominations. 1t
is stated at the Capitol, however, that
there is no ground for this fear.

PARK COMMISSIONER
ADVISED ISOLATION
STATE CONTROL OF FUNDS.
Provision in Irrigation Bill Found Objec-
tionable by the President

President Roosevelt is opposed to some
of the provisions of the irrigation bill
which passed the Senate. and is pending
in the House.
Senator Hansbrough and Representative
Metcalf. Moody of Oregon, and Roeder
of Kansas called on the President yester-
day to discuss the measure.
The provision of the bill to which the
President is especially opposed is the
one which grants to the State authorities
control of Federal funds appropriated for
irrigation purposes.
Senator Hansbrough said that while he
had no objection to the striking out of
the paragraph in question, it was never
theless a fact that local control in GER
tain States would still obtain by reason
of constitutional powers granted to those
States by Congress when they were admit
ted TO the Union.

A PESSIMlSTIC VIEW.
Partner of Cecil Rhodes Views South
African Outlook Gloomily.

LONDON, March &c d. Rudd, a
partner of Cecil Rhodes, arrived here from
South Africa today. He said he was not
surprised to hear of Mr. Rhodes death. as
he knew the latter was doomed before he
left Cape Town. Mr.. Rudd said Rhodes
death would retard the development of
South Africa for decade as there was
no strong man there to take his place.
What they want out ther9Rs a states-
man." he said. ''Mr. Alfred Belt may sue
ceed to some of Mr.. Rhodes interests.
but Belt is a business man and not
statesman"
A Pessimistic View.
Mr. Rudd expressed pessimistic views
in regard to the war. He could not, of
course. have been fully posted on events
that had occurred in South Africa during
his voyage, but he said it might be taken
for granted that the war would last for
long time yet. The people of South
Africa, he declared, were pessmistic as
to the result. Cape Colony was full of
sedition, although the loyalists were as
enthusiastic as ever.
Mr.. Rudd declared that the Transvaal-
ers were so harried by the British through
the operations df the blockhouse system
that they were willing to throw up the
sponge. but the burghers now fighting
were mostly Orange Free Staters. and
Cape men who were determined to fight
to the last The windup of the war. he
thought, will certainly be fought in the
Cape Colony. In his opinion there is no
chance of the end of the struggle before
the coronation next June.
The Beers. she said. have a happy hunt
ing ground in the northwest Of the colony.
They have plenty OF horses with fodder
and everything else they require. He
considered it impossible for the British
to reach them without building a rail-
way, as they did during the Egyptian
campaign.
Mir Rudd said he had talked with Cen
eral French, who is in command of the
British forces in the Cape Colony. on the
subject of the war. The general was
optimistic. but would not make direct
declaration in any case. Mr. Rudd said
he had no doubt that Schalkburger and
the other Transvaal peace delegates"
to Kroonetad were tired of the war. but
he did not expect that they would be able
to convert Delarey and Steyn TO their
views
He suggested it was possible that dele
gates were Interested in the stock mar
kets, which generally benefited from peace
OF this kind.
Burghers Might Continue.
He thought that even if Delarey and
Steyn were persuaded by the delegates
that it would be wise TO make peace
terms the majority Of the burghers would
their resistance, and would grad
ually retire to the northeast OF Cape Col
ony. where the fight would be continued.
This. Nj. Rudd thought. would -be the
tactics advocated by Steyn and Delarey.
In regard to mining operations. Mr..
Rudd said affairs on the Rand were pro-
ceeding satisfactorily. but would not re-
sumo their wonted stride for five years.
The chief difficulty now was in obtain
ing native labor. which was coming in
moderate quantities from the east coast.
