The Navy Department is making an

GROSS EARNINGS Of
RAILROAD COMPANIES
Increase Large in View of
Adverse Conditions.

Gross earnings of all railroads in the
United States reporting for September
are S57. .S42. 464, a gain of S.4 per cent over
last year and 20-2 per cent over 1900.
The increase is surprisingly large in
view of many adverse conditions, and
the September statement is rather the
best of the year to date.
Traffic is extremely heavy in nearly
all lines and is much larger than IN any
other September. Southern, granger and
Pacific roads lead all others in The per-
centage of gain. though the increase in
earnings is large on Central Western
and Southwestern roads.
On trunk lines, now including New
York Central, the increase is small
New York Central reports only a
trifiing gain over last year, due mainly
to the loss in coal tonnage With the in
terruption OF coal traffic, light grain
and cotton movement. three leading
classes of freights, the increase in earn
ines shows that tonnage in other lines
must be very heavy. Earnings of roads
reporting to Dun's are given in the fol-
lowing table. compared with last year:

REPORTS OF FAILURES
DURING THIRD QUARTER.
September Losses Heavier
Than Preceding Month.
LIQUOR CONCERNS Do WELL
Dun's Review Points Out Some Inter
esting Business Transactions for
Term-Liabilities Shown.

Reports of business failures in Sep
tember and the third quarter of the year
1902 are printed in the current issue of
"Dun's Review.
Losses in September were larger than
in the two preceding months of the
quarter, and also exceeded the liabiii-
ties for the corresponding month in re-
cent years. There are more than aver
age losses in manufacturing lines. but
the statement of insolvencies among
traders is most unsatisfactory. owing
mainly to few very large failures.
Comparison of the September exhibit
in detail, with the defaults in the same
month last year. shows a moderate in
crease in number of manufacturing
failures, but scarcely any change in
liabilities
Increase Over Last Year.
The largest increase over last years
liabilities occurred in the clothing
class, where there also appears gain
in number of defaults. Printing aud
milling insolvencies we're also consli.
crease is reported for miscellaneous
manufacturing.
Comparison is most favorable in liza
bilities of machinery and liquor con-
Germs, owing to unusually heavy losses
last year. Nine of the fourteen classes
record heavier defaults than a year
ago.
Trading failures in September were
abnormally heavy, and make a poor
showing when compared with las
years. Liabilities were greatest in
general stores, more than doubling those
of 1901, but department store provided
the bulk of the loss. Omitting this
single failure, liabilities of the other
seventy-nine defaults were much small
er than in any recent year. In miscel-
laneous trading disasters the exhibit is
also very bad. owing to a few big fail
ures, while the clothing class falls little
short of million dollars in liabilities,
the bulk of which is accounted for by
single heavy default.
Numerous Failures.
Grocery and meat failures were more
numerous than a year ago, but COM
pared with earlier years there appears
a satisfactory decrease, but iI amour
of liabilities the exhibit is less favor
able. Exactly half the trading classes
reported more liabilities than yeal
ago, and in half there was more or less
decrease. but the only improvement OF
note appears in hardware, while ;he
small decrease in dry goods is gratisy-
ing, since it occurred despite one very
large loss this year.
Liabilities of commercial failures TO-
September in different classes compared
with last year are given below:

PASSING IT UP.

Congress has discovered that the ea- siest way out of any difficulty is to shift that burden upon the president. The fact denotes cowardice or incapacity, or both. It appeared in isthmian canal sight, Senator Hoar proposed to pass the whole matter up to the president and let him assume the burden and re- sponsibility of the choice of routes as if he is possessed of wisdom which con- gress lacks, or of information not open to that body. In the matter of Cuban reciprocity, the same idea cropped up in Senator Spooner's suggestion to refer it to the president to frame measure ap- parently beyond the senate's capacity. Senator Burrows had the same idea in his proposal to turn the question of the rebate plan over to the president, with injunctions to guard against the pro- fits falling into the pockets of the su- gar trust. From the president comes the last word in the Sampson Schley controversy, and to the president at- taches all the difficulties of the conflict between the general of the army and the secretary of war. The latest, and not the least absurd, movement is the one which proposes to put up the pres ident as an arbitrator to settle the coal strikes in Pennsylvania. These insen- sate rushes to the president seem to ig- nore the constitutional scope of our va rious institutions. We have courts of all kinds for the determination of rights and wrongs, public and private. We have congress supposedly capable of enaeting laws. It is their duty to do so. It is the prerogative of the presi dent to execute them. It is not his duty to interfere in every squabble of every section of nation of eighty millions. To force everything upon him is to make him a dictator, and it would be as dangerous as it is reprehensible in any country but tflis.-San Francisco Argonaut.

BROKE HIS LEG.

The tower watchman at Madison, Samuel Alquire, met with a sad acci- dent last Thursday night which will probably lay him up for some time. At about il o'clock he left the tower to in- vestigate matter along the track and when running back he tripped against one of the rails which threw him and broke his leg between the ankle and knee.
