DUA'S WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
Healthy Tone Evident-Home Trade
Receives More Attention Than
Foreign Commerce.

New York, Sept. 6.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade, issued
today, said in part:
Steady progress is reported in trade
snd industry. Distribution of mer-
chandise is heavy and a healthy tono
is evident. Prices are well main
tanned by liberal consumption, which
more than neutralizes the effect Of
enlarged facilities for production. Do
nestle conditions continue much bet
ter than those existing abroad, and
home trade receives more attention
than foreign commerce. Farm prod
ucts have appreciated in value, owing
to less favorable weather, and pro-
ducers will be fully compensated for
any decrease in quantity by the higher
quotations. Earnings of railways dur
ing August were 3.6 per cent larger
than a year ago and 1879 per cent in
excess of 1900.
Better deliveries Of coke and lib.
eral receipts of foreign material have
lessened the pressure in the iron and
steel industry, and the situation is a

nestle demands are not decreasing,
much new business having been
placed, and home consumption will
continue to call for imports on large
scale Each week brings out new rec
crds of coke output, the upper and
lower Connellsville regions together
having surpassed 100000 tons, and the
holidays gave the railways an oppor
tunity to relieve the congestion. I'm
cess rapid progress is made before the
close of lake navigation, less than two
months hence, the situation will be-
come serious. New plants are being
added to the productive capacity as
rapidly as possible, but in railway
equipment, especially steel rails, or
ders are already placed for much of
I ext years output.
Agricultural conditions are less sat

freely, though receipts do not equal
the abnormally heavy movement a
year ago. Corn developed strength
because of fears that injury would be-
dcne by frost, and the movement is
very slow compared with last year,

Empire State Express on Hudson River
Road BLOODHOUND,

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Albany, N. Y. yesterday says: For the
first time probably. in the history of the
New York Central and Hudson River rail-
road, the passengers on its far~famed Em-
plre State Express have been taken from
the palatial cars In rOwboats at dead Of
night to save them from drowning in their
berths. They were all rescued, but the
train stands half submerged on the rails
where the torrents Of water forced the
train crew to leave 1t.
This section of the state was visited late
last night by one Of the most disastrous
floods in recent years. 1t caused heavy DAM

practically put out of commission the Hud-
son River division of the Central railroad
tor distance of 145 miles.
One of the last trains to leave Albany
over the Hudson river dicision for New
York was the regular o'clock train. which
left here yesterday shortly after 6 O'Clock.
That train got through. The Empire State
Express from the west followed soon after
ward, but was stalled by the ice and flood
at Castleton.
At that point tonight a half dozen trains
are stalled. The passengers were taken OF
in rowboats and were cared for at nearby
hotels by the railroad officials.

TILLMAN SCORES ENGLAND.
Takes a Shy at This Government, Too,
in Speech

Senator Tilman was the chief speaker at
q Robert Emmet celebration in New York
city last night. He said in part:
Il am no orator, and if have any claini
to it, 1T is because 1 speak the truth and
fight the devil with fire.
We'll" came a voice from the audience.
IF you're not an orator, you're good
fighter
The senator then launched into an attack
upon England for tramplng upon the Irish
people. For eight long centuries the Irish
have been trampled upon and murdered by
the English" said he, land 1t may not
be amiss to here state that chickering's
petty squabbleS among IrelandS own sons
have been responsible for her conditions to-
day. They make grand soldiers for her
away from home but fail to show their
qualities In her own behalf"
Turning from this subject, he said in
strenuous tones: IF being a fiunkey and
aping nobility and establishing system
that is akin to England's policy is making
tories of u.s. then l think we are there at
last. or at least the government at Wash-
ington has got there. England continued
the senator 'can squint, and shaking it's
thumb at us. say, Your work in the Phil4
ippines is as bad as ours i'm the Transvaal.; !;
Why have We got such a government
There is the rub. Why do you pass resot

other occasions. and then go out and vote

people are slaves to partyiSm and could
get along without boss who, he pre-
dicted. In time would betray the people. =
They have done 1T already" cried a.
voice in the balcony.
"Yes, and they will do it again." replied
the speaker, who was about to say some-
thing concerning this feature Of local poli-
tics, but hesitated and said: mo, I'll not

Billy Rice the Minstrel Dead.

Billy Rice, the minstrel, died at Hot
Springs Ark, Saturday afternoon after q
lingering illness from dropsy. His last
hours were spent in reviewing his expe-
riences and telling stories Of the ups and
downs of his life.
II am on my last white chip. and the AL
mighty has coppered that. Well, tell my
friends that I'm going way back and they'll
find me on the end seat"
These were the last words and came just
before the end.
Rice for many years earned a large sale
ary, but he lived a bohemian life, spent
what ne made, and died in destitute cir.
cumstances At his death there were only,
q few friends who were attracted to hi6
