ENGLISH RAILROAD OFFICIAL PAS A VISIT TO ClTY Capt. Thompson, Veteran of Fenian id, Travel- ling in Interests of Big o. Sees Wonderful Growth in West. Yho Furness Railway Company, owners cf the docks at Harron-in- Furness, and the railroad tracking the English lake land, is today repres- ented in this elty by its commercial and press agent, Captain A. Thompson who arrived from the east on No, 3, Seen bya reporter of the News, Cap- tain Thompson sald his mission was to call on boards of trade and the press generally and lay before them the merits they claim their docks and dis: trict possesses for both the shipper and tourist. The Furness Company docks are situated about midway between Eng- land and Scotland on the west coast and cover an area of about 300 acres They aro most up-to-date in thelt equipment, and have many records fc id-loading of ships. As, however, they. sent no ships away, the Captain's talks on the lake land perhaps aad more Interest for the reporter, for both what he sald, and a packet of literature he left with the editor shows that it must be what he says it fs, an earthly para- dise. The English lake district embraces the chief Iakes of the Motherland Windermere, Coniston, RydalUlswa- ter, Grassmer and a number of oth- er small lakes. In Windermere the Company have a fleet of seven steam yachts, and in Coniston two. Those on the former lake have a large car- rying capacity, one of which can car- Ty 1,200 passengers. During the season, May to Septem- ber, the Company operate a series of coach tours, twenty of them, and these coach routes reach every spot of beauty or of historical or literary interest in the district. They reach places hallowed by the memory of such literary genius as John Ruskin, Christopher North, Charles Lamb, Coleridge. Dr. Quincey, Wadsworth and others, And up on the siountain side, or in the valleys, or in the bosom of its peaceful lakes, have these men, whose names are a household word all over the world, written their mas- terpleces of English Uterature. Last year a party of lovers of Wadsworth s writings from India and China made a pilgrimage to his grave in the church yard at Grasmere and every year come more-and more Can- adians and Americans to drink in the beauties and charms of this famed Jand. The valleys of the lake land are noted for their beauties of flower. At this season of the year the fields, hedges and roadside are one mass of glorious coloring For they are liter- ally carpeted with primroses, blue- bells and daisies and the very air is musical with the. song of the wild bird, the glory of the family, the lark, being heard above all the rest of the dirds, es So too, is the district rich in build- ings, medivial times. Some of these con- necting links with the past- that-were buflt as fa* back as the 12th century, lare today inhabited, and they have Doth stood the stress of storm and war, and today seem good-for-severat uundred years more, The same may. sald of its rvined halls, castles and abbey. The builders of long ago builded well, and had not destructive war Inter /en d, such stately piles as Furness abbey, pronounced by most visitors to be the most perfect and, beautiful example of the Benidictine Monks' handicraft, might still be standing intact. a The walls of Furness Abbey are from six to fifteen feet thick, and set as it is in a mall vall y, completely tree clad hills surrounding, is sight ocean to see. Captain Thompson gays that the general manager, Mr.-Alfred Aslett will be pleased to forward much lus trated matter of this district to any- one contemplating a trip to the Moth- orland many of them dating baci to Coward, He Says. Captati, Alex Thompson, Commer- cial Agert of the Railway and Dock Company of Barrow-in-Fur- ness, England, reached this city on No. 8 yesterday. Speaking to a repre sentative of the News regarding the attack by the press on Mr. Ismay, chairmar, of the White Star Company, he said Le thought it was ill-advised, and that it was doing a great man grave injustice. I am quite well ace quainted with Mr. Bruce Isma: said Captain Thompson, and the last meat t-had in Engtand was Ten with him and the local manager of the Whits Star Line on Saturday, March 30th, and anyone knowing Mr. Ismay personally eould not conceive of him acting the part of a coward. Another thing the public must remember, and that s, that commanders of the class and stamp.of Captain Smith, are the last men in the world to allow any- one to even suggest anything regard- ing how the ship should be naviga Furness. tedor What course she should pure sue. Lean well understand how those poor passengers, who at midnight stood on the brink of eternity, felt; and how it must have affected their nerves, so that no doubt they really believe that certain things took place, thar in reality never existed. The whole thing In my opinion Was a deplorable error of some one and quite Ikely poor Captain Smith's but it does not seem to be playing the game to try and throw the blame on the shoulders-of a man, even though that man be the head of the Company, simply because he happened to be on board as a passenger. I was at the launching of the Ti- tanto at Belfast and later at Liver- pool, when she was completed, and anyone yho Went over that really wonderfal vessel can understand that the Company, and proved by the rate granted her by the underwriters, considered. her unsinkable.

The father of Alfred Krupp was a small blacksmith at Esson. Alfred Inherited the family tron forge, em- ploying three men, and which bad been in operation since 1810, and he at once set about enlarging the busi- ness, but had no money or powerful friends, and bis progress was slow. He saw, however, the possibilities of the great exposition to open in Lon- don in 1851 and decided to take ad- vantage of it. He had made -impor- tant discdverfes In the casting: of large masses of Bessemer steel, which had been an insurmountable task previous to his time. The ex- hibit he sent to the London exposi- tio fairly astonished the world, be- ing a block welghing forty-tlve-Ger- man quintals. It at once established his reputation. The making of heavy ordnance, which bas made the name of Krupp jfamious the world over, was at first hot prominent part of the business. But soon general foundry work and the making of small arms began to take second, place at Bsson, as heavy steel selge guns and armor plate de- manded more and more attention. During-the past-balf century Krupp ordnance has roared all over pworld. The huge guns with which the-Germans poured shells. into Paris during the seige wer made at Esson. Some of the guns that fired at Dew- ey s squadron at Manilla came fi there. ed gons there, Frarice alone excepted, for since the Franco-Prussian war the Krupps have refused to make guns for France, As.the business grew collaterial industries developed, and Esson, which had been a tiny village, ex- jpanded Into a large city. Statistics Published for the past year show that the firm employed nea-ly 70,000 offic- ials, clerks and workmen.
