After all, we like the admiral better
than we did before. We realize that the
great triumphal arch and the cheering
millions didn't spoil him. He Is Just
one of US. His years have not cooled
the fires in his heart: whatever he did
and all he did was homage 10 cupid
and Hymen. That he could leave the
Olympia, live for a week in a storm OF
alteration. hear his victories voiced by
a nations tongue, and in a day ask a
woman he loved to be his wife, and In a
week marry her and discard pomp and
frippery, and he with his wife go about
their business as though he were a
plain. common, everyday man, make
the country love him. and the love VIII

TRADE REVIEW.
The Business Situation ms Seen ~
Americans Leading CONNER
ciaI Agencies.

New York, June 17.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: 1T is one
of the frequent paradoxes of business that
the one thing which now makes prices rise
is the only thing that clouds the future.
They rise in iron and wheat because
scarcity is feared, but the scarcity, if pro-
longed and real, would much impair pros
perity. In wheat it does not seem to be real
nor in iron lasting, and meanwhile other
elements of prosperity continue potent
1t is great thing that exports of gold have
caused no apprehension, because recog-
nized as mere borrowings by foreign bank
ers, the May return Of foreign commerce
showing exports $23 100000 larger than i'm
ports, in spite Of a decrease of 80 cents In
the export price of wheat, and large IN
crease in imports. In IL months the excess
of merchandise exports has been S495, OOO,O 900
and the bankers estimate that $3.50, 100000
worth of securities have been returned
from Europe, with so few in recent months
that the amount remaining to be dislodgeo
is probably small.
1.-THE scarcity of iron is real, in spite OF
the greatest production ever known in this
or any other country, 256,062 tons weekly
June /, against 250,095 May l, for stocks
were reduced 1902 tons in May, indicat-
ing a consumption of 1,190,S 500 tons, against
100000 tons per month last year, the great
est ever known. Consuming demand does
not seem to diminish and appears greater
because it falls upon works crowded for
months ahead with contracts at lower
prices, but some of it is speculative and
would cease with prospects of lower prices.
With more furnaces going into blast ten
last month, production will overtake the
demand after a time, and the largest buy
ers of finished product for implements and
car works and railroads are taking moth
ing to cover next years needs.
Failures for the week have been 1876 in
the United States, against 233 last year, and
Is in Canada against 20 last year"
Bradstreet's says: "Advices as to dis
tributive trade are in the main very IA
vorable. Hot weather has stimulated re-
tail business and orders for fall delivery
are reported in larger volume and earlier
than for years past. At some centers, in
fact, less than the usual effect is looked for
from Seasonable midsummer influences.
This is, however, best illustrated in the iron
and steel trade, which displays unex-
ampled activity as regards summer pro-

THE STRICKEN TOWNS.
Dead mt New Richmond, Wis.,, Will
Reach 1OO-The Situation at
Herman, Neb.

New Richmond, Wis.,, June 14.-The
tornado that has swept out of existence
the prosperous little city of New Rich
mond is the most disastrous in point of
fatality ever occurring in this section.
The exact number of dead is still I'M
known, but it will certainly reach 100,
and very probably will considerably ex-
coed that figure.
AS soon as the news of the disaster
had reached the outside world offers
of help and help itself began to come
into the city. st. Paul, being the rail
road center to which New Richmond
was tributary, was first to learn of the
storm and it's attendant woes, and with
in two or three hours sent the first re-
lief train with physicians, nurses, hos
pital supplies and commissary stores
for the people of the stricken city. A
second and third train soon followed,
and speedily neighboring cities in Wis
consin sent in all they could gather for
their needy sister city.
Herman, Neb., June 15.-Ten were
killed and about 25 injured in Tuesday
nights tornado. 1t is thought all are
now accounted for unless the storm has
been more disastrous in the country
than now anticipated. Not single
building in the town is left.
The loss of property aggregates $780,
900, which means something appalling
for the inhabitants of the peaceful lit
tie village. One hundred buildings have
been completely destroyed. Only six
structures remain intact, three in the
north and the same number in the
south part of the town. These COM
prise four residences, the schoolhouse
and one church. The population is in
pitiable condition. Those who lost
their homes, and there are about 500
of them, are absolutely without re-
sources and must depend on public
