WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Of Idle Machinery Is DIs.
mInlshlng.

New York, Aug. 7.-Duns weekly
review of trade says:
Business continues to expand in
wholesome manner that promises well
for the future. Reports from the
leading branches of manufacturers
are unanimous in telling of an in,
creasing volume of orders and the
percentage of idle machinery steadily
diminishes. Better prospects for the
crops removes the only handicap that
impeded the revival of trade, and IA
vorable weather for few weeks will
assure unprecedented production in
the aggregate, although the yield OF
cotton will fall considerably behind
last years. The month of July made
most encouraging exhibit in so far
as statistics are available, liabilities Of
failures being smaller than in any
month since April, 1901, and railway
earnings surprising last years by 81
per cent. Foreign trade at this port
for the last week shows gains of
$1,776,1S4 in exports and $1,60S,564 in
imports as compared with the same
period of 1904 =.
Recent advances in hides are fully
maintined, and in some varieties
strength has reappeared and import
ers are actively bringing supplies
from Europe. 1t is estimated that
this foreign business has already
aggregated over 100000 hides. fail

BURIED IN SAND.
Rock Island Suspends Operations in
Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs. Aug. 5. = The
Rock Island railway is temporarily
out of business in this city as a result
of the cloudburst that struck north
of the town. The cut through which
the road enters Colorado Springs is
about 10 feet wide and 20 feet deep
and it is declared to have run full of
water when the force OF the food
reached that point
The tracks for distance of nearly
a mile are buried under from eight
to ten feet of sand and traffic is reach
ing the city via Denver. Had this
cut not diverted the flood from the
course that it was taking and carried
1t to Monument creek. which flows
along the west side of the city, enor-
nous damage would have resulted to
the best residence section of Colo
RADIO Springs.

in this city from Nome state that the
people of Nome are up in arms against

a long article, charges the officials
with using illegal methods and taking
advantage of their position to possess
themselves OF valuable claims, which
are obtained by relocating. The Mug

A Sensational Newspaper Rumon Is
The Cause Of Much Talk.
SUPT. DOLAN NEVER HEARD OF IT
General Manager Dan c. Cain Is
Quoted at Length Concerning the
Current Rumors of the Impending
Changes.

IOpeKa, Aug. Z.-C. w. Jones, SUI
perintendent of the Kansas division
of the Rock Island at Topeka, will go
to Des Moines to become superin-
tendent of the Iowa division and j. B..
Smalley, at present superintendent of
the Iowa division, will succeed Mr..
Jones at Topeka. The Office of the
superintendent of the Kansas division
will not be moved to Harrington, but
will remain at Topeka, at least for the
present
The above statements were made
by Dan E. Cain, general manager of
the Southwestern and Choctaw dis
tricts of the Rock Island, upon his re-
turn from a trip to Oklahoma. Mr..
Cain was accompanied by Vice-Presi-
dent H. U. Nudge, who has been in
Colorado, and Frank Dolan. who be-
comes general superintendent of the
Southwestern district, with head
quarters at Topeka, succeeding ]. o.
Crockett, resigned.
The exchange Of territory between
G. w. Jones and ]. B. Smalley is by
mutual agreement, and not on account
of promotion of Mr.. Jones, as stated
in an evening paper which printed
"rumors" of the coming change. The
same paper has been claiming that the
division superintendent Office would
be moved to Herington, which report
was promptly and vigorously denied
by General Manager Cain.
Mr.. Jones was formerly resident
of Des Moines and wants to go back
to his old home. Mr.. Smalley wants
to move to Topeka. Therefore the
two gentlemen arranged matters so
that they could be transferred. The
transfer has been approved by the
higher officials. They wanted to make
the change and will be allowed to do
so.
81 am annoyed at the report that
has been in circulation that the
office of the superintendent of the
Kansas division would be moved from
Topeka to Harrington. l remarked in
conversation with another man at one
time that l wished the division Office
were at Herington, as it might relieve
the constant jam there and have the
effect of keeping the schedule more
intact. Somebody overheard me and
took my words for a prediction that
the Office would be moved"
The location of the Office of the di.
vision superintendent is matter that
is left wholly with the general super
intendent. Mr. Dolan has scores of
more important matters to attend to
before he can waste any time consid-
ering the question of moving the Office
of the Kansas division superintend-
ent He has not even heard of the
question yet.
There is no significance in the visit
of Vice President Nudge to Topeka
at this time. Mr.. Nudge has been in
Colorado. He met Mr.. Cain at Nc
Farland.
There is considerable new work
going on on the Missouri division
stated General Manager Cain last
night, "and Vice President Nudge
wants me to go over it with him. All
of the main line is being reballasted
and new steel is being laid for dis
lance of 179 miles"

HELD TO DETERMINE THE TESTS.
None of the Patients Are Regarded as
Being Dangerously III, But There Is
Apprehension That a Form of Vel
low Fever May Exist.

New York, Aug. 1.-All of the sew
enteen passengers and crew taken
from the steamer Seguranca were re-
ported to be doing well and showing
no symptoms of yellow fever, except
in the two of the crew whose cases
are still doubtful.
With no less than twenty-five cases
Of possible yellow fever detained UNI

lands, Dr. A. H. Doty, health officer
Of the port, said that twenty-four
hours must elapse before it could be
absolutely determined by bacteriolo-
gical tests, whether any of the sus-
poets were infected with the dread
plague.
Two sailors, both apparently SER
iously ill, were taken today from the
steamer Seguranca, which arrived
from Colon, and isolated in the pest
house on Swinburne Island. Eight
more of the crew. who had been i'll
during the voyage, but were GONZALES
cent, and seven passengers, two from
the cabin, all of whom showed increas-
ed temperatures, were taken to Hoff-
man Island for detention until the re-
suit of blood examinations are known.
In addition to these, two suspects
were taken to Hoffman Island today
from the steamer Ell Dorado from
New Orleans and remain on the is
land, six cases from the steamer
Avona, which recently arrived from
Colon.
All the suspects held yesterday
| from the steamer Alamo from Gal
weston, Tex, were released today.
None of the patients now under de-
tention are regarded as being dan
gerously i'll, but there is apprehen-
sion that there may exist among them
cases of an insidiously dangerous
form of yellow fever, the ambulant
stage, in which the sufferer walks
abroad, feeling only slightly i'll, but
imperiling all with whom he comes in
contact.
The health officials tonight are
making the most thorough tests OF
this type of yellow fever among the
ten members of the Seguranca's crew,
because four of this crew were taken
off at Colon, actually suffering with
yellow jack.
Health Officer Doty believes that
within twenty-four hours his tests will
show that the remaining sick from
the Seguranca are merely suffering
from an epidemic of low fever which
is quite common on board ships arriv-
ing in New York from the isthmus.
1.-THE two worst cases." he said,
may possibly be yellow fever, but
even this is not likely. Eight of the
crew were about as sick five days ago
as are the two who were carried to
the hospital today. These eight are
now much improved. condition
which would be quite unlikely if yell
low fever had been their ailment.
There is good reason to believe, there

days ago, have the same complaint

valescents are not yellow fever cases,
