wby America Pushes Her WAY In.

From inc SinodpoV oITdHs IVnss'
An American engine for use In the construction o,

aroused considerable adverse criticism there on
the ground that a cheaper engine could have been
purcha,ed In England. Mr.. H. d. Ellis. Comnh
soncr OF public Works In Sarawak thus meeu the
objection
"l,pon the face OF II and according TO the ngures
suppllcd this would appear TO be the case but upon
examination Il will be seen that the price quoted
lor the Englsh locomotive Is the bare cost As II
stands at tn. works. while the price quo S for the
American locomotive Includes freight ana insur
ance TO singapore. also some extras which II was
considered advisable TO order. such as steam o.
nhon and rubber hose for nng the boiler from
streams. special copper hreboI, screw jacks aod
moving Jacks tool box and tools besides sundry
other small Items. which all added TO tho expense
and would have TO be added TO the cost OF the Eng

As far as III price Is concerned there Is not Cio
difference between them. and personally, | wou!i

distinctively Republican, districts OF the
centre Of the island thro( ugh which Fifth
avenue runs and to the west of Central
Park, where the natives aAnong the popu-
lation are generally in the largest per-
centage on Manhattan Island, and the
number of inhabitants to TIE acre is the
smallest.
Finally, the indications OF the returns
seem to be that the Low vote was almost
wholly Republican. Very conspicuous
Democrats came out strongly in his
favor, but the number Of Democrats
who voted for him was apparently. at
most. not more than probably ten or
fifteen thousand. The Citizens Union
made great show and was undoubt-
edly earnest in it's disinterested activ-
ity, but it seems to have obtained
very few votes proportionately. Nc
CLELLAN was elected by Democratic
votes kept up to full measure in the
districts which are always Democratic
strongholds.

EXTRA SESSION or CONGRESS-.
Members Slow In Arriving In Washington
--Caucuses to BE Held Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5-Members Of Con-
gress are slow in arriving in Washington
for the extra session and there are prospects
that the caucuses OF the two parties to be
held on Saturday may be rather slimly
attended. The Democratic members OF
the House will meet in the Hall Of Repre-
sentatives at noon on Saturday, and tho
Republicans at 8 o'clock that evening In
the same place, each for the purpose Of
agreeing upon candidates for House offices.
There will be no contests Of note in either
party.
Representative Cannon will, OF course,
be selected as Speaker by the Republicans,
and the slate will contain the names OF all
the present officers Of the House, with the
possible exception Of the Rev. Henry N.
Couden, the blind chaplain, who is under
stood to be a candidate for the chaplaincy
OF the Senate, to All the place of the late
Rev. William H. Milburn. In that event
there will probably be several aspirants
for the vacancy.
There has been some talk Of outlining q
party programme in the Republican cauols,
but it is not likely that any attempt OF this
not be here on Saturday.
The Democrats are expected to select as
their candidate for Speaker Representative
John Sharp Williams OF Mississippi although
the Missouri delegation will doubtless give
Representative Champ Clark Of that State
a complimentary vote.

Where the Vote Camo From

LOW carried only eight of the thirty
four Assembly districts OF Manhattan
the Fifth, Nineteenth, Twenty-hrst,
Twenty-third, Twenty-fifth, Twenty
seventh, Twenty-ninth and Thirty-frst.
He received in these districts 55seS to
4s, for MCCLELLAN, the majority for
Low being 1888.
The aggregate population OF these
eight districts, according to the census
of 1900, was 49, ,Os2, and as the total num-
Der Of votes for the two candidates was
9s, ,9ss, they were 2os per cent. OF the
population.
The remaining districts OF Manhattan
carried by MCCLELLAN had a population
in 1900 Of l,378,01l, and his poll in them
was l2s, 200 to Lows SO, 17s, or total poll
for the two of 1911 ,47s, or 1879 per cent of
the population. This smaller percentage
of the vote to the population is explained
in large part by the much greater per-
centage Of the foreign born, and conse-
quently Of aliens, in the Mcclellan dis
tricts generally. For example, the high
est percentage of the foreign born in the
Low districts was $40 for the Twenty
ninth, but in nineteen of the twenty
seven Mcclellan districts that percent
age was exceeded and in seven the for
eign born were actually In the majority.
The eight districts carried by Low are
the least crowded districts of Manhat-
tan Island, averaging in 1900 only 91
persons to the acre. Except the First,
all the districts carried by MCCLELLAN
were far more densely populated. OF
McCLELLAN's majority in Manhattan
three -fourths was obtained in the most
crowded districts of the town; or the
districts in which the population to the
acre is given in this table

FORGENERALS STAFF OF THE NAVY
Admiral bradford Recommends an Ad.
visOry Board Of SeagOinE On1cers.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 5-Rear Admiral R.
B. Bradford who holds that title by virtue
OF his Office as Chief OF the Bureau Of Equip.
ment does not hesitate to discuss in his
last annual report the proposed establish
ment OF a general staff for the navy.
Admiral Bradford has the reputation of
not being afraid to speak frankl, when he
has something to say. He asserts that
the future Of the Bureau Of Equipment Ia
closely connected with any general staff
organization that may be created, and al
leges that the policy outlined by former
Secretary Long. that the present General
Board OF the Navy, which he brought into
being. is not to conflict in any way with
matters in charge OF the bureaus Of the Navy
Department, is no longer maintained
Admiral Bradford does not believe in
general staf having executive functions.
H. thinks that it should be purely ad-
visory body. This is his substitute propo-
sition for the general stah scheme
An organization OF seagoing officers Of
Navy on ,professonal matters has been ad-

defined and advisory only. The usefulness
and success of such an organization depend
absolutely upon it's entire separation from
the bureaus. and no bureau chief should be
member. Its creation and the selection OF
members should be by, executive authority.
This bureau recommends such a body.
After an experience of six years in the
Department" Admiral Bradford says, sthe
Chief Of the Bureau believes that it lie the
administration of the department that needs
attention, rather than its organization, par
ucularly in the direction of the expenditure
Of money and in confning the subordinates

COY. CRANE IN WASHINGTON
Rumor That He Saw the President About
the National Committee Chairmansin1p.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5.-Former Governor
Z. Murray Crane Of Massachusetts, came
quietly to Washington this morning and
departed as quietly In the afternoon, after
having talked with the President and one
or two members OF the Cabinet and saying
nothing for publication. Mr.. Cranes
presence gave rise to the report that he
was here to consult with the President as
to the craftsmanship OF the Republican
national committee next year. but no
verifcation of this report is obtainabe.
II is we'll understood here that if Senator
Hanna should decline to manage the next
campaign, owing to i'll health or any other
reason, Gov. Crane will be his sncce 'sor as
national chairman. But nothing definite
is known here as yet as to Mr.. Hannas
intentions in this regard, although II is
certain that if he should decline. Presiden,
Roo evelt would be more than pleased
with Gov. Crane as chairman.
This important matter may be settled
when the n itional c,mmit'ee meets here

Senator CullOm's Forecast.

The subjoined paragraph contains
what is perhaps the briefest, the plain
est and the most comprehensive defini-
tion Of the United States Governments g
proper course with regard to change Of
sover eighty over the Isthmus:
In case the insurgents In Panama arc success
ful and win recognition OF the Republic Of Panama
from tbs United States tho embarrassment In which
this Government now nnds itself concerning canal
negotiations will bs relieved as It will then be pos
slble to negotiate a treaty with the new State"
This is the opinion and forecast, as
reported by the Nep York Herald, Of the
Chairman of the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations.
Why balk at the plain truth OF the
situation? Senator CULLoM simply FORE
sees the end toward which events are
fastening.
Is there anything in the case as it
stands to-day, or in the future develop
ments likely to proceed from the present
situation, which involves discredit to
this nation or doubt as to the absolutely
correct attitude OF the Government at
Washington now and at all times?
They who declare that Americans
ought to blush at the thought Of embrace
ing the opportunity which the greed of
the Bogota e1tortioners has forced into
existence are mostly the disappointed
partisans of the Nicaragua route: Where
they are not that, they are muddle-
headed moralists In whose view America
is constantly in danger Of disgraoing
herself before the world.
How much reader are these latter to
perceive shame in store abroad for the
United States Government and people
than tho European critics OF our be-
havior whose unfavorable opinion they
deprecate! How much quicker, for e1-
ample, is the New York Evening Post to
detect in advance of the fact the dis
honorable quality of any canal treaty ne
gotiated with the Republic Of Panama
than is the Times of London.

Canada's Iron Industries.

Awell known member of the Dominion
Parliament recently made the following
statement:
Canada 70 face 70 face with the painful truth
that her iron and steel industries have not been
success. This docs not mean that great iron and
steel industries Sannot be established In Canada.
II does usau however. that the plain facts should be
revealed. no matter how much the revelation costs
Can Canada produce Iron and steel to advantage
This is tho question that Is brought homo TO every
Canadian to. day. Something is wrong at Sydney
and something Is wrong at the Ssult. What Is the
matter! We have the coal and iron ores and pre-
sumably every adjunct TO the manufacture of steel
The fault may be In the quality Of some Of these
materials or 1t may ibe in the management OF the
enterprises tha, so lar have failed to get on solid
r. footing"
The question thus raised is one of su-
preme importance to Canada. To no
small extent, the argument for a pro-
tective tariff and the opposition to the
Chamberlain plan rest upon Canada 8
ability to build up industries, large and
little, in which iron and steel are the basis
of the business. If she cannot from
domestic ores manufacture profitably
ct least fair proportion of the iron and
steel and manufactures thereof which
she now imports to yearly value of
approximately s25,oOo,OOO, the sooner
she discovers the fact and adjusts her
fiscal policy to that fact the better will
it be for her.
We do not say that Canada cannot be
her own chief source of supply for iron
and steel, or that her mines may not yet
be developed to point which would
make her an important exporter of man.

simply quote the statement of promi-
nent Canadian, and note the apparent
ground which he has. in the experience
Of the Sydney and the Sault properties,
for making such statement.
