A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE
PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

NEW YORK, Aug 19.-This is pre-
eminentIy crop market. The West
cannot be expected to quietly sit down
and ignore the value of $4,000, 900. 900
of new wealth produced from the soil
in a single year; a sum equal to nine
times the national debt. To the great
agricultural sections of the Northwest
this will prove an irresistible stimulus
Merchants and bankers and manufac-
turers alike are prepared for good
business season. Our railroad mana
gers anticipate heavy traffic and are
distributing their equipment according
ly. A month hence we may expect to
hear loud complaints of car shortage.
Some time ago the railroads placed
liberal orders for cars and locomotives,
and crush of freight seems newt
able when the crop movement East
ward reaches it's height in September
and October. Two or three months
hence the Western lines are sure to
report satisfactory gains in earnings.
The railroads, however, will not bene-
fit merely from the large crops, they
will benefit incidentally quite as much
by what the crops are turned into
(meat, etc., by the general stimulus
to manufacturing industries and by
the vast quantities of manufactured
products sent back from the East in
return for the golden harvest and raw
products of the West. No serious in
jury can now happen to corn, for only
the northern section of the crop is in
danger of early frosts. Cotton is more
exposed to this risk than any other
crop, and the next two or three weeks
may prove a critical period. But at
present there is no cause for anxiety
and the outlook is for a very large

in the neighborhood of s1,500.000,00C

is in splendid condition and not like

legislation, especially as the president
promptly vetoed the Stanley Reduc

A notable dwarf. who had long
lease of life over parts Of two centu-
ries-he was born in 1889 and died in
1S37-was Borulwaski. the Pole, of
whose debut an interesting tale is
told. AS boy of fifteen, when he
was just one inch higher than a two
foot rule. Borulwaski was presented
to the Empress Maria Theresa, who
was so charmed by his good looks and
grace that she seated him on her lap
and gave him a hearty kiss. To the
sidered the most interesting sight in
Vienna the dwarf replied, What l
now behold, so little a man on. the lap
of so great lady" This speech rem
dered the little fellow a great favor
lite.
He became a special favorite of
Stanislaus H.. who took him to Eng
land and introduced him to George
Ill, and for more than half a century
Borulwaski made his home at the
English court.
This dwarf, who at his tallest was
a yard and three inches, had sister
whose head just reached her big broth
er's shoulders. Borulwaski was not
only handsome and courtly man, but
a scholar of repute. He lived in five
reigns. and when he died, lacking only
two years of reaching the century
mark. he was laid to rest in Durham,
side by side with the Falstatfian
Stephen kemble.

conditions were somewhat conflicting.
Some roads are known to be excep-
tionally prosperous. Others are far
away from obtaining satisfactory re-
suits, causing concern among far
sighted railroad managers. The heavy
concessions made to labor last year,
followed by the serious demand now
awaiting adjustment, have placed a fl
nancial strain upon number of the
larger railroad corporations. Every
thing that the railroad buys has ad-
vanced, but the companies have not
been permitted to make compromising
advances in rates, and have been per-
sstently rahassed by government in
reference. They have no chance of
recouping themselves except through
increased traffic Were this to fail
them their plight would be quite seri-
Gus. Among the unavoidable demands
pressing upon the railroads is the inn
perative necessity for better freight
and passenger facilities in the large
cities. This means tremendous out
lay of new capital for construction
purposes frequently of an unproduc-
tive nature. During the next year or
two our railroads will be obliged to
raise large amounts of new capital,
which, in view of the higher rates for
money, will prove a still further handi-
cap to weak roads. So long, however,
as business continues large in volume
they may be able to struggle through,
and it is not impossible that ultimate
ly the Interstate Commission will al
low the companies to somewhat re-
, coup themselves for these increased
OUTLAWS. The strong roads, however,
have about discounted all hostile
influences.
General trade prospects are encour,
aging for the reasons stated above.
Larger offerings of commercial paper
testify that merchants are we'll pre-
pared for increased activity. The
opinion as to the effect of politics on
business is divided. The majority be-
lieve, and with reason. that politics
have done their worst and have been
amply discounted. Western business

| the situation is somewhat different.
| Big financial interests do not like the
attitude of labor and the government
towards the railroads. Two months OF
hot tariff discussion are closely ahead

President Taft and his cabinet today
discussed the Panama canal bill and
the question of a possible presidential
veto of the measure. Every member
of Mr.. Taft's official family who was
in town was present and the discus
sion lasted an hour after luncheon
time, but no decision was reached.
Fears Free Toll Clause.
The Presidents inclination, it was
said last night, is to approve the bill,
but he is anxious to have provision
made for a legal test of the matter
of free tolls for American ships. The
cabinet was understood-to agree with
him that there is basis for believing
the bill with the free tolls clause in it
is not in conformity with the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
When the conference was over the
President was still of the opinion that
the best way to test the bills agree
ment with the treaty was to have the
| United States Supreme Court pass up
on it. He will confer with Senate and
House leaders in the next few days
and will devote most of his own time
to bordering over this one bill. Most
of the Republican leaders in both
/ houses and probably some of the lead
ing Democrats will be called into con-
sultation and the bill will be gone over
with care.
The President was told that it was
probably too late now to amend the
bill and that any action he may take
must be in the form of a veto, unless
he can get Republican and Democratic
leaders to agree on joint resolution
to be passed later that would show
that the United States had no inten-
ton, in passing this measure, of abro-
eating the existing treaty with Great
Britain. Such resolution would per-

WASHING AWAY THE LAND.
Erosion Of the Drainage Basins Of the
United States.


Investigations by the United States
geological survey of the erosion OF
numerous drainage basins of the Unit
ed States show that the surface of the
country is being removed at the aver
age rate of about an inch in 160 years.
Though this amount seems trivial
when spread over the surface Of the
country, it becomes stupendous when
considered as a total or even in sep
arate drainage basins. The MISSISSIPPI
pi river, for instance, carries annually
to the sea 1876, 100000 tons Of dissolved
matter and $40, 100000 tons of sus-
pended matter, and Of this total the
Ohio river carries S3,35O,O 600 tons and
the Missouri river contributes more
than twice as much. The Colorado
river. which has built up for itself a
vast delta. brings down more suspend
ed matter than any other river in the
United States. delivering annually 3s7
tons for each square mile Of its drain
age basin or a total of 100, 100000
tons
The rivers Of the United States car
ry to tidewater every year 21OOO0,OOO
tons of dissolved matter and 513,OOO.-
600 tons Of suspended matter. This
total of 7S3,OOO.OOO tons represents
more than 35O,OOO,OOO cubic yards of
rock or 61O,OOO,OOO cubic yards Of sur
face soil. If this erosive action had
been concentrated on the iSthmus of
Panama at the time of American oc-
cupation it would have excavated the
prism for an eightyfive foot level ca
nal in about seventy-three days.

THREATS OF VETO
Slow Progress in Congress
Because Fear of Disap-
proval by Executive.

I WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Important
Legislation that must be acted on be-
fore congress adjourns stands today
as follows:
Panama canal bill, before the presi-
tdent.
Legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, approved by the
House and now before the Senate,
with provision abolishing the Com
|merce Court.
Naval, sundry civil and army appro-
priation bill, before the Senate COM
mittee on appropriations.
Indian appropriation bill, conference
report pending in the Senate.
, While adjournment is expected this
week, the date is generally believed
to depend upon the Presidents atti-
tude toward the Panama canal bill
and the legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill. His veto
of the latter measure last week was
based upon it's provisions for the
adjustment of the Commerce Court,
and the establishment of seven-year
tenure in the civil service, and the
House has again risked the veto by
passing the measure with the Com
merce Court provision in it.
Senate Is on the Fence.
The Senate will determine early in
! the week whether it will indorse the
measure in this form.
Leaders Of both Houses are conf
dent that the remaining work on the
overdue appropriation bills could be
disposed of in three days were the
contingencies of the presidential veto
removed. The President has made it
clear tc members of both Houses that
he does not favor the free toll provis-
ion of the Panama canal bill, but he
has not as yet asserted a purpose to
veto that measure.
Thus far Congress has not succeed
ed in overriding any of the Presidents
vetoes, and it is not considered likely
that either the legislative appropria-
tion bin or the Panama canal bill could
be repassed by a two-thirds vote il
vetoed this week. Those tariff and
appropriation measures which the
House has repassed over the veto have
failed in the Senate and the single bill
fecting the claims on the Corbett irri-
cation tunnel, failed by six votes Of
,repassing in the House.
Sundry Bill Is Due.
The sundry civil appropriation bill,
in which the appropriation of $225,0O0
for the tariff board is at issue, is ap-
preaching settlement in the conference
committee. Out of 259 items in the
$116,0 100000 bill upon which the two
Houses disagreed, all but about five
have been settled, and an agreement
on these is expected early this week.
The House Saturday asked the Sem
ate to compromise the naval fight on
q one battleship basis. and an agree
ment on the naval bill is expected i'm
'mediately. Other measures will not
take much time. The Senate will
take up the six-year presidential term
resolution, the uniform bill of lading
measure and the bureau of labor bill
this week
All legislation. aside from appropria.
ton bills, is likely to be laid aside,
however, in the desire to complete the
session by Thursday, or at least by
1.-THE end of the week.

There is no trouble at Cananea
and none is anticipated When ! left

all the mines We're working full

from the fact that a few discomfort

way represent the large number OF
the miners. who were not in SYM
patty with the movement and who
are satisfied with present conditions.
About n week ago a few of the ring.
leaders of this small disconnected
band were arrested. The 'demonstra-
ton that was talked about was made
up of only 4 few OF The men, prob
ably not two dozen, and the demon
stration' did not amount to anything.
There never was any real trou-
