An Kngllsh firm offered to deliver the work In six and one limit months for JC10.4DO. . The price naked by the American firm was Cfi.500 for delivery In forty-two dajs and the Amer ican offer -was therefore accepted. These facts merit the attention of brldgo builders In Great Britain " The substructure of the 1 > rldgo In question Is In the hands of an Italian contractor. Lord Kitchener Is assailed for having , as alleged , made alterations nt the request of American contractors without notifying Dr l- Ish firms of the alterations. This Incident , together with the large orders for loco motives placed by English railroad compan ies with American firms , have put British manufacturing engineers on the defensive nnd 'the ' charge against Kitchener which Is being brought before Parliament Is a desperate expedient of English contractors to justify their own hidebound methods which arc leaving them behind In the com petitive race. The employers allege that the restrictions under which they arc placed In the emplojrnent of apprentices by the rules of trade unions renders It impossible for them to 1 < cep pace with other countries , whore trades unionism has not the saroo power.

" COURT EVIDENCE MADE PUBLIC \VltnpNNeN Mum that What I.IUlc DrcyfiiN ICiieii of AVar Olllee Se cret * WIIN Public 1'roiiert } . PARIS , April 8 The Figaro today con tinued its publication of evidence before the court of cassation In the Dreyfus case nnd gave the deposition of Major Hartmann of the Twenty-second artillery , who wns called as n witness for the defense. In addition to the facts already cabled , Major Hartmann deposed that ho know about the hjdraullc brake since 1SS1 , gave full details of Its manufacture and cited the case of M. Hou- tonnctc , nn employe of the Archives de partment , who was sentenced In 1890 for giving n foreign attache secret documents. Including details of the brake , which wore not modified from IS'JO to 1S94. The major also handed the court the teNt of a lecture delivered at the military school of St. Cyr In 1S92 , describing the brake and said he did not believe the documents In the bordereaux came from nn officer attached to the war office , as the brake had not been tested nt the Artillery school In 1894. Ho further said ho had been connected for eight years with the technical section and never knevV Dreyfus to see the documents. The major testified that a foreign artillery officer could easily obtain any Information about the cannon of 120 calibre. In regard to the frontier troops Major Hartmaun cited1 articles from the military journals giving full Information on the sub ject months anterior to tno date of' the bordereaux. Referring to Madagascar , wit ness said ho thought the bordereaux referred to notes of a conversation heard by some officer , who thought them of sufficient In terest to send. Besides , he added , It was easy to obtain Information about the Mada gascar expedition. The major then gave details of the Robin shell , which , ho explained , has no re semblance to the Herman shrapnel shell found In Its manufacture. Replying to the president of the court of cassation , the witness said the libraries of the military clubs of Paris and Versailles had copies of the lectures delivered before the military schools , but so far as he knew none of them was missing. The Echo do Paris says It learns the court of cassatlorr Is about to order a supplemen tal Investigation of the points raised by the evidence of General Uoget nnd examining magistrate liortulus , who will be confronted.

NEW YORK , April S. Despite reticence on the part of the police , facts became public today which made It apparent that the lire -which destroyed thirteen persons was of an Incendiary origin. It transpired that a few hours before the flames were seen a policeman was sent for from the Andrews house , and was mysteriously dis missed by a servant , who said he was not wanted. Letters threatening the lives of the Andrews family and the children of Mrs. St. John were fonnd. It Is believed that the motive for Incen diarism was revenge , nnd that the affair arose out of a quarrel among the servants. Foley , the butler in the Andrews family , is under surveillance , nnd the police are hard nt Tiork Investigating the clews , which chlclly rest upon the anonjmous letters. Mary Flannagan , the dead maid servant , seems to have been a central figure In this alleged plot and the chief object of the supposed perpetrators' hate. The police today gave out three scurrilous letters which had been serrt to members of the Andrews household One was addressed to the servant , Mary Fhinrmsan The let ters made charges against Mary Flannagan nnd the butler. In a letter addressed to Mrs. St. John the writer said : "I hope > ou nnd Mra , Andruwn don't think for one moment that I am rec onciled or pacified with Mary Flanuagan , for , Indeed , I am rrot , ami what Is further , I will not bf > until I get my revenge. I feel that I have given warning enough and I nm going to fix her fi r life , and because you and Mra. Andrews did not give heed to the warning I'm going to fix yotr , too. I'm goIng - Ing to make some one throw something In j your nurses' nnd children's faces that will disfigure them and cat all the Ilesh off tno | bone.
