the country would probably be kept busy, for
such quantities of rail are now required III the
building or reconstruction of roads that the
mills now at work seem unable to meet the
demand either as to quality or promptness Oh
supply.
Increased demand for rails arises not only
rom the reorganization of the railway SYSTEM
and the building of many important conhec-
tons and extensions, but from the improved
traffic of the roads. In spite OF very low
rates the railroads report increased earnings
the largest gain for May being on the Atchl-
son, Topeka and Santa F6, $295,364, or %
per cent, with further Increase OF $6o'oOO
for two weeks of June. The Pennsylvania
reports an increase of $205,0OO for May
about per cent; the Kansas Paclhc re-
ports a gain of S10S,000 for May or Az
per cent, with n further increase OF TlO1,ooo
for three weeks of June the Milwaukee ana
1t. Paul reports a gain Of S5S,336 for May
and $123,3OO for three weeks OF June; the
Chicago, st. Paul and Indianapolis reports
gain of $2O33O for May, and $4,000 for
three weeks of June, and the st. LOUIS, Iron
Mountain anu SOuJncrn IcpolIS gam VI f'-'
1913 for May, and $4,000 for two weeks OF
June. In general, the grain, cotton anu cat
tie carriers have increased their traffic largely
so that the Eastern trunk roads, notwithstand-
ing their low rates, have probably nvalled or
surpassed the Pennsylvania in increase OF
earnings But the New York Central and Bal
timore and Ohio make no reports aud the
latest Erie reports are for March, T2O9'3'2
gain or IS per cent, and for April, 800, 900
or % per cent, the latter being unofficial.
Uuquestionably, however, the railroads arc
generally increasing their traffic, and feel Doth
the need and the ability to improve their
equipment track and connections. The move

by lake for three weeks of June each year

GIVE HIN HIS DUE.

Let us not forget to give the deposed Khe-
dive the praise that is justly his due. He was
spendthrIft while in power and is now Il
bankrupt, but for sixteen years he presented
| to the world the extraordinary spectacle OF "a
liberal and progressive MahOmetm prince.
Such a spectacle has not often been seen
since the days of HarOun-al-Raschid Under
! bis reign Egypt was transformed. Mod
eln civilization was introduced into the
sleepy land of the Pharaohs. The four
! footed "ship of the desert" gave way to the
iron horse; the telegraph took the place Of
the dromcdary as a fleet messenger; the Red
Sea was Joined to the Mediterranean and the
trade Of India found new channel across the
Isthmus of Suez. A bright, new European
Cairo grew up around the kernel of the old
Mussulman town, and the Pyramids looked out
upon a city of aspbaltum-paved streets, gas
lights theatres, LOtels and newspapers more
marvellous to the jewellers by the Nile than any
tale from the Arabian Nights. Ismail was a
friend Of education, and his primary schools and
seminaries brought the power of knowledge
within the reach Of thousands of Egyptian
youth. He took an enlightened interest In
the antiquities of his country and under his
fostering care EgvptOogy may be said to
have almost reached the limits of pOssi-
BILE development. He was fond of the natural
sciences, and Swans of all sorts were sure OF
cordial welcome at his court, He was man
of business, introducing advanced methods of
agriculture and establishing numerous manu-
features. As q conQuerOr he will occupy no
mean rank in history, for he organized a
strong army and added large territories to his
hmm, NIT ii do nt bIG
character, too; he endowed hospitals and
fitted out military expeditions to suppress the
slave-trade in the heart OF Africa.
Now that he is a ruler no more and the
Porte has appointed an administrator to take
charge Of his effects, he may well claim some
remembrance for the many mertorious acts
of his rule. He is plain lsmail Pacha now
perhaps he is not even Pacha, but only an
Effendi, or something not at all distinguished :;
buthe has no doubt saved cnOughfiom the wreck
of his fortunes to make himself quite cOmfOrta-
! bic at his palace on the BosphOruS, whittier
he used to repair in his yacht during the days
of his power to pay court to the Sultan and
intrigue for independence of Turkey. Pretty
soon we shall hear of him in Paris salons or
at London dinners He may even pay visit
to America to see the country which supplied
him with colonies and generals for his army.
! No doubt he will be much happier as pri-
waite gentleman than when worrying how TO
satisfy his creditors and at the same time
pay his tribute to COnstantinOple. keep up his
state and carry on his projects for improve

| joying himself.

R1JLROlDS IND BUSINESS.

Only one unfayOTable symptom is found in
a survey of business this week, namely, the
impatience of some labOrers to obtain by
coercion larger increase of wages than en-
blowers as yet feel able to pay. Thus far the
EMPLOYERS at Fall River have met with greater
success than was anticipated in getting substi-
tutes for the striking spinners. and the
weavers have refused to join the strike,
but the struggle may be a long one. few
local difficulties are reported and a strike of
some importance is feared in the coal regions.
Though the attempt to advance the price of
coal has brought no advantage as yet to
the operators, mutterings of discomfort are
already frequent among the miners, and Il
nicuic of the Knights of Labor, on July
90 is to be addressed by General Butler,
il is said. From January l to June u the
output OF anthracite was 1O,9S2, 100 tons, an
increase of 4,2S2, 1926 tons over the produc-
lion to the same date last year. If the pro-
duction could be continued through the year
at the same rate, the output would be about
%. 1900. 900 tons. Ii is evident that the low
price has caused consumption far beyond
the expectation of operators, and the shrewd-
est of them begin to see, as The TRIBUNE
has so long urged, that their only chance of
prosperity lies in continued encouragement of
consumption by steady and low prices. They
may well be strengthened III this position by
the threats of miners TO strike for higher wages
at the first symptom of any advance in the
price of coal. Greater activity is seen in the
iron business also, and there is some DISPOSE
ton to buy in expectation Of higher prices.
An increase, small but yet significant, appears
in the imports of iron, and an increase, by no
means small, will soon be seen in the imports
of Bessemer rails if the combination of manu-
facturers persists in paying establishments to
stand idle, for the example of Mr.. Vanderbilt
has been followed by other railroad managers.

The people with such talent for general
ling that they are never satisfied unless they
can discern an epidemic of something III
progress somewhere, might rise now ana
remark-if metaphors give them no trouble,
and they seldom do-that an epidemic OF col
Isions is sweeping over our common
country. There has been a long series
of them in our harbor and Heighboring waters
in the past few weeks. Excursion boats,
steamboats, and sailing vessels have been try
ing to pass one another on the same track,
and even European steamers belonging
| to the same company have been unable,
| in their unselish professional rivalry, 10
keen out of each others way. The
most serious case of all was that which
! occurred off Bamegat Light on Saturday
night. when a steamship of the Havana line
| ran down an iron bark, sinking 1t Ill three
minutes, and getting so badly damaged itself
that it was compelled to return to this CITY,
| On the way back, as if to complete the col
ISion series, the disabled ship narrowly es-
caped two similar accidents, one steamship
actually grazing it. The loss of five lives on
board the bark is a tragic feature of the affair,
but il is difficult to see that the officers
of either vessel are to blame Both ships
had their lights burning, so their re-
spcctiye officers state, and both adopted
apparently all the precautions usually observed
in times of darkness and dense fog. When
each vessel became visible TO the other, IL was
TOO late TO avoid the collision. An accident
like this must be regarded as one of those
perils which can never be wholly avoided by
those who 90 down to the sea in SHIPS The
frequent occurrence of such casualties how
ever. most of them fortunately unattended
with loss of life, must teach pilots and officers
that eternal caution is the price of safety.

dent, and to pass it by the votes of the handiul
of Democrats present The public is not to he
allowed to forget this incident, it seems. and
the person who insists upon keeping It's mem
DRY alive, strangely enough, is the author OF
the resolution himself. He has actually re-
corded the whole affair at length and with
evident pride in his legislative biography, as
is shown by letter printed on another page
The record will be of some service IN pre-
serving the features of one type of Democ-
racy.
1t is by no means certain that Congress VIII
now perform the most mertOrous act OF lts
career thus far, and adjourn to-day. Various
things throw doubt upon this INTENTION
one of them being the curious question
whether the House, having now dwlndlen
TO less than quorum. can legahy
adjourn. The resolution for adjournment
has not yet been even reported IN the senate
and there are other signs that the Democratic
leaders do not expect Congress to dlsperse SO
speedily as was hoped. The Presidents IN
tentions, which are important. OF course III
the present situation, remain uhchahgeu'
though they have been somewhat ms
renrcsented. The bill which he was ex-
pected to sign he will sign, and that
which he was expected to veto, he
will veto; but the Democratic stories OF
threats on his part that he would Immediately
call Congress again into session, If the Mar
sbals bill were not passed without It's rldel'
are. of course, unfounded. Indeed the Presi-
dent seems TO be quite as anxious as Con-
cress can be to avoid another session.
and if be can properly do so he
doubtless will. 1t is clear also from
the Washington dispatches that he Will noe
call Congress back, if there is no hope that
Congress will do what it is called back to do
that is, complete the appropriations, and do
its duty decently. Under these circumstances
another extra session of a Congress which mas
never shown any unconqucrable desire to do
its duty must be regarded as very unlikely
indeed.

The President seems to have made strong
commission TO examine the Mississippi levees
and suggest improvements TO that river. Ben
iamin Harrison, of Indiana, who is named
first on the list, is a public man who has es-

sense, and Captain James b. Eads and Colo
mel Quincy A. Gilmore in part represent
most appropriately, the engineering profess
sion. From a commission made up, as this is,
almost entirely of eminent engineers, and
representatives of the Government Engineer
Corps and the Government Coast and Geo

shall be free from all suspicion OF jobs and

Having never forgiven the colonies which
threw off her yoke, Spain is always ready to
pick a quarrel with any of them which she
can safely bully. She is now striving to
wiring satisfaction from SantO Domingo, and
has gone so far as to order two war vessels
to blockade the coast, if her demands are re-
jected. This may be an affair in which the
mediation of the United States could be
proftably exercised. 1t is not desirable that
any American island should be subject TO
the dictation of European power.
