QUICK WORK COUNTS.
How American Manufacturers Get
Orders Away From British.

London. April "A parliamentary
paper issued today gives correspond
ence respecting the comparative merits
OF the American, British and Belgian
locomotives now in use in Egypt. In
a dispatch to the foreign secretary.
Lord L4ansdowne, December 81, cover
ing a number of reports received from
railroad officials the British diplomatic
agent and consul general in Egypt
Lord Cromer, draws the general con-
clusiOn that the main reason why so
many orders for railroad plants have
recently been given to the United
States is that the American firms are
able to execute them with extraordi-
nary rapidity, due largely to the syS-
tenn of standardization.
In respect to price, Lord CrOmer finds
the British firms can hold their own
ecuted.
With respect to the quality of Brit
ish work, it is at least equal and often
superior to American and Belgian work
while in consumption of coal the Brit
ism engines nave a decided superiority
over the American, though not over the
Belgian engines.
The British manufacturers weak
point is delay in executing orders. The
reports show that the American tenders
promised delivery within one-third OF
the time required by the British firms.
While they offered to supply standard
locomotives of equal suitability 10 per
cent. below the British price, though
the latter's tenders for locomotives
built on Egyptian Specifications were
lower than the American offers
The correspondence includes the re-
suit of a series of trials of American
and British freight and passenger en-
gines conducted by a representative of
the Baldwin company and a. locomotive
inspector of the Egyptian railroads,
from which it appears that the Ameri-
can freight engines consumed 25.4 per
cent. more coal than the British while
the latter drew Jap per cent. more load.
/ With the same load the American pas
senger engine consumed 50 per cent
more coal than the British engine
Mr.. Johnstone, president of the rail-
road board. concludes his report with
a warning against the condemnation of
American locomotives because these
trials have been unsatisfactory. point
ing out that the Egyptian engineers
and firemen are not so muscular or in
telligent as the Americans, and that al
terations had to be made to enable
them to operate the locomotives sat
isfactorily. He says he knows Of rail-
roads where a suitable American design
has been selected and where the differ
ence of coal consumption is very small.

American ArtilIerymen.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The govern

quested to terminate the last vestige of
its authority in Cuba. The War Depart

Department Of State that President Es-
trada Palma has notified Minister Sauiers
that he desires the American troops re-
naming In Cuba to be withdrawn The
State Department does not undertake to
pass on this request, but transmits it to
Secretary Root, holding that the problem
presented is purely military one, involv-
ing the competency Of the new Cuban
government to take over and care for the
coast defenses now in American hands
and thus make sure that the country is
not exposed, without any military protec-
for Secretary Root to determine the ques-
ton of fact, and he is expected to base
his conclusion on the opinion of United
States military officials remaining in Cuba
though, Of course, Minister Squiers's opin-
ion would be of weight.
Secretary Root, while he has not come
to any conclusion, has indicated that the
troops might be withdrawn. 1t is a matter
that could not be hastily decided, and IL
may be discussed with President Roosevelt
while the secretary Is in the West At
present there are eight companies of coast
artillery in Cuba; at Havana there being
the Twentieth, Twenty-second, Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth; at Santiago the
Sevnteenth and Nineteenth, and at Glen

TICKET AND PLATFORM
FORECAST OF WORK OF NEW YORK
REPUBLICANS TODAY.
Lieutenant Governor Woodruff to BE
Retired-Presidentt to BE Endorsed
for Recollection.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 22.-The State
Republican convention will nominate the
following ticket: Governor, B. b. Odell, jr.;
Lieutenant Governor George R. Sheldon;
secretary of state (not yet settled; con-
troller N. B. Miller; treasurer. ]. B. Wick
ser; engineer, E. A. Bond; attorney gen.
eral, II. r. Conan; judge Court of Appeals,
w. d. Warner.
Senator Plat, speaking of the lieutenant
governorship, to-day said: "Mr. Woodruff
will not be the candidate of the convention.
1t would be poor policy, indeed, to get the
people into the belief that one person can
confiscate an office for an indefinite period.
Mr.. Woodruff has been treated in an un-
precedentedly generous way by his party.
When shown Mr.. Platt's statement Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff said that he had
announced repeatedly that he was not a
candidate and he now declared that he
would not accept nomination under any
circumstances.
The platform as drawn for presentation
to the committee on platform tomorrow
will have the following recommendations
on the various topics to be considered:
The Philippines-The following out of
the present policy OF education with the
adoption of free elections and the estab-
lishment of free government which shall
correspond to the Governors of the States
or the Union, but with the continuation Oh
espionage and military control until the
native forces of civilization are in full and
easy control, together with free schools,
liberty of conscience and religion and OF
thought and speech.
Cuba-A recognition of the obligations of
good neighborhood and exceptional advan-
tages for the sale of their products to the
country.
The Tariff-The following out of the pol
itcy of protection to American industries so
long as the wages paid in foreign countries
for the same kind of labor are less than
enough to maintain a workingman's family
in comfort. Protection to the home mar
kets for home products on the ground that
a revision of the tariff will not destroy the
trusts.
Trusts-A recognition that while every
business man and corporation will pursue
a financial advantage far 1t can be
made to go, the Republican party, while
not discouraging such effort, will see that
1T is not carried to unlawful extremes. II
will call attention to the Sherman act de-
signed TIC reach features of business COM
binations unlawful and Injurious, and it
will promise to apply such remedy for ac-
tual evils as will not interfere at the same
time with the business development and
prosperity of the country.
National Administration-A thorough and
strong Endorsement of the national admin
istration and Endorsement of the can
dfdacy of Theodore Roosevelt, compliment
ing him upon his ardent patriotism and his
lofty integrity.
