| a, u quiet conditions have pre-
NPV I0lk vailed in most branches of
- business, especially in those
markets already affected by labor dis
putes. Large interest payments testify
| TO the prosperous condition OF railways,
industrial corporations and financial in
stitutions, and, aside from the labor trou-
bles. the half-year just ended was re-
markably satisfactory. Railway earn
, ings for June exceeded last years Ga
per cent and those OF 1900 by 1919 per
cent. The foregoing is from the week
iy review of X. G.. Dun & Co. 1t con-
tinues:
In the iron and steel districts there
have been no developments Of impor-
tance. Leather is dull and hides are
weak In the textile markets the cotton
goods sold freely at recent concessions
aud the tone was steady, while woolen
mills are more actively engaged and buy
erS are In the eastern markets for raw
material.
The general level of grain prices is
higher Tor the week, especially corn end
oats. Eastern markets reflected the
strength, but did not share the activity.
Both receipts and exports have been
light. wheat arrivals amounting TO only
=. .393 bushels, against 2,SS9, ,O9O last
year, and exports from all ports of the
United States were 2.124 .639 bushels,
compared with 2.S16. 103 in 1901. Cotton
prospects frightened with rain in the
Southwest, yet there was no weakness.
The crop year closed with receipts Of
coffee at Brazil ports far surprising all
records and prices remained at the bot
tom point
In spite Of many serious drawbacks
railroad earnings for the half year just
closed are the largest ever reported. To-
tai gross earnings of all railroads in the
United States reporting for the half year
to date are S61S.41O, sos. a gain OF 81
per cent over last year and 1871 per
cent over 1900. This report is practical
ly complete for roads embracing three
fourths Of the total mileage of the Unit
ed states for five months, and includes
partial returns for June.
Commercial failures in the first half of
1902 numbered GIGS. with liabilities Of
500, O,3I4, $50. Although this is an in
crease of $3.50. 1856 compared with last
year and S1S,311 .923 more than the ex-
ceptionally favorable record of 1899. it
is necessary to go back fifteen years to
find another more gratifying showing
than that Of 1902. Despite a few excep-
tiOnally heavy failures in British Column
bia, total liabilities in the Dominion Of
Canada for the first half of the year were
only $5.I39. .451, against $5.53O.92j last
year, while the number of defaulfs, 61O
compares favorably with all recent years.

THE OLYMPIAN GAMES.
President Roosevelt Suggested for
Honorary President of the Great
Athletic Event of 1904

President Roosevelt as honorary
president of the international Olym-
plan games to be held in Chicago in
1904! Baron Coubertin, of Paris, the
great and moving spirit in the in
ternational Olympian committee, as
well as its executive, has written
letter to President Roosevelt asking
him to accept the honorary position.
Ambassador Porter has been given
the letter, and il due time it will be
placed before the president.
That Baron Coubertin on more
than one occasion has shown his eX-
ceedin@lv pronounced friendship f""
the United States, and especially for
Chicago, is known to those who were
most prominent in getting the
Olympian games for that city. Eu-
rope did not desire the games to go
to the new world. Eastern cities,
New York and Philadelphia, had out
their lobbyists for the games. But
the baron had carefully studied the
situation and had spoken so highly
of this country and the worlds fair
city that Chicago easily won the
fight. In Europe President Roose-
welt is regarded as the wholesome
type of athletic enthusiast. With the
international games directly under
the supervision of the nations chief,
the foreigners will have great faith
in the exercises at the stadium.
'"ROoter in Washington for Har-
ward when the crimson met the blue;

plan games. "Why should not Mr..

man woman Of noble birth, who Is
known as the only practical woman
miner in all of Alaska, is in Chicago
after an absence of four years al
Cape Nome, Dawson City and other
points of the great Eldorado within
the arctic circle. She came to the
state to buy machinery for hy-
draulie mining and a ten-room Porta-
bic house, which she will have shipped
in sections TO Cape Nome. The bar
oness is only 80 years old and is un-
married, having taken her title from
her father, Baron Karl Won Iilse of
Leipsig, Germany, who came 10 the
United States about % years ago and
resided both in Cincinnati and St.
Louis.
She went to the Klondike not be-
cause it was necessary for her TO
make her own living, but because a
love for adventure led her to seek the
gold fields. A fortune was left her
by her father, and the first business
in which she engaged in was wheat
specula ton in Los Angeles. She made
money for a time, but finally lost a
great deal, and then it was that she
determined to go to the Klondike.
She left Seattle early in the spring
