Special cable to The Washington Herald.
London, Dec. 13.-Extraordinary inter
est is being shown in the Anglo-Ameri
can Exhibition next year. London news
papers are devoting columns of space t.

One great recent event has been th'
cordial invitation issued by the railroad
engineers of Great Britain to their con
freres in the United States. This body
which Is fully representative of every
railroad interest in the country, has jusi
held a congress in London. As result
of its deliberations il has decided to ac'
quire one Of the largest buildings at the
exposition and therein demonstrate every
advance in the industry since the days
of Stephenson's Rocket
But the engineers decided that their
own exhibition without American coop
Grafton would be incomplete. They have
therefore asked Imre KiraIfy, the direc-
tor general of the exposition, who is now
in New York, to issue cordial invitation
20 the railroad engineers Of the United
States to participate in their efforts, the
idea being that, at an exposition Of this
kind, typifying the centenary of peace
and progress between two great English
speaking peoples, the representation of
one country's work without that of the
other would be almost futile.

Following the lead of the railroad men,
the horticultural societies of Great Brit
ain, representing the 800 leading firms
of the country. have issued a similar in
vitation to the United States. They de-
sire that the garden arrangements of
the exposition, including twelve gigantic
rock gardens, shall take the form of
competition between the two nations as
10 which can execute the better land
scape work. Conventions will also be
held at which all subjects appertaining
to horticulture can be discussed by the
specialists of both countries.
The latest project, launched by gath
ering OF the leading commercial men of
England. is Business Mems Section"
