ON ALERT FOR TROUBLE Representatives Attend Memorial Session in Large Numbers. ' WASHINGTON. April 19. Memorial services were conducted today in the House of Representatives for the late Representative Ueorpe W. Smith of Illinois. It was the first time in two weeks that proceedings were "opened with prayer. In view of yesterday's episode between Speaker Cannon and Williams, the minority leader, growing; out of the Speaker's arbitrary adjourn ment of the House, it was deemed wise from a party standpoint to have as many Republicans as possible on hand. About ' a hundred responded to the notification, although any prospect of a clash with the Democrats was dissi pated when it was observed that only a few were in their seats. The Speaker and his floor managers, Payne and Dalzell. occupied their ac customed places until the journal had been read and a resolution passed pro viding for adjournment immediately after the delivery of eulogies on Smith, when they took their departure, as did many of the members. With the exception of De Armond, none of the minority leaders was present. Those who paiad tribute to Smith's memory were Thistlewood. Rodenburg. Chapman. Louden and Graff (111., Russell (Mo.l. Chaney (Ind.) and Sten nerson (Minn.). As a further mark of respect, the House, at 1:30 o'clock P. M., adjourned until noon tomorrow.

April 19. rrofessor Starr of the Chicago University has expressed the belief that the Negrritos of Central Luzon belong to the same race as the pigmies of Central Africa. He spent three weeks with i'ie Negrito tribes of Pampanga Prov ince in Luzon Island, and declares that he found iniportant physical charac teristics identical with the natives of Africa. He failed, however, to find anv linguistic resemblance. Five hundred teachers will gather tomorrow at Bagulo for the first great educational conference ever held here. Professors Starr. McCtintock. 'Burks and Roberts, who came from America, will make the principal addresses.

There are Indications that the storm which has prevailed for the past several days in North Texas is about over. The loss is estimated at more than 91.000.000. The waters are receding almost as fast as they came up and with no more rain within two or three dayB avenues of travel will be reopened and business will move axain. At this time, however, the Texas & Pacifio trans-continental line is cut in two. There has been no train from Cali fornia or out to the West since Friday morning, and the most optimistic of the railroad officials do not hope to reopen traffic before Tuesday.

NEW YORK, April 19. Growing ease and plethora of funds In the New York money market was the marked feature of the financial situation last week. With the mid-monthly disburse ments of dividends, a quarter per cent interest rate was found necessary to facilitate placing; the funds on call and 90-day loans fell below S per cent. The beginning of exports of gold was the natural consequence of this condi tion, snd a call from the United States Treasury for the return of an install ment Government deposit is not ex pected to have any material effect .in stiffening money rates. That the plethoric condition of the money market is due to an important extent to the violent measures for re lief taken in the throes of the panic last Fall is true, but shrinkage in trade activity is indicated also, to an extent which deprives the ease of mony of much of Its favorable effect. Until last week's engagements of gold for export, there had been no return of any part of the $10),000,000 of the The most desirable line of Women 's and Children s Underwear made on sale at reduced prices.

The retention of this great fund of reserve money was facilitated by the enormous merchandise exports which went fot ward month after month in the proces of liquidation to meet cash requirements. In March, for the first time since October, the value of ex ports fell below those for the corre sponding period of last year. Al though the shrinkage In value of im-. ports has been much more violent, it Is expected that the outward move ment of grold will attain considerable dimensions. The flow of the funds to New York from the interior mean while continues in unabated volume and the surplus of the New York bank reserve is assuming an unwieldy vol ume. Money market conditions, therefore, seem to be reaching- the condition promising success for new offerings of securities. The known necessities of the railroad corporations promise large issues of new securities as soon as condition? become propitious. Tenders for these issues will be awaited with great interest to indicate the course of the investment situation. A factor having some bearing upon this situ ation is the borrowing by some of the railroads privately, as reported last week, on temporary notes, on which the interest rate is said to be consid erably above the prevailing market rate. Aside from the, needs of toe cor porations the demand for loans Is slight and the ease of the money mar ket is due to this inequal parity with the abundance of supplies. The course of earnings of railroads has not turned for the better yet in sufficient degree to help their credit, in spite of the progress made in cut ting down expenses to meet the In roads on gross earnings. The latest report of the commissioner on car efficiency of the American Hallway Association showed that on April 2 the number of idle fieif?nt cars had in creased nince the previous report on March 2 by 9245. and after the latter date had been diminishing successively each two weeks since 'February 6. This disappointing showing was considered "corroborative of reports for some time past of a renewed contraction In trade activity. This contraction is of especial im portance, occurring in the metal trades. A fresh decline in orders for steel products, instability in the iron market and the continued decline In prices of copper make a burden for hopeful sentiment to contend with.

THREATENS A MASSACRE Write Name on Scroll of Fame In Blood People Reduced to Des titution and Admit Their Incapacity to Govern. PORT AU PRINCE. Hayti. April 19. While there have been many arrests of natives suspected of sympathy with the late revolution, and political prisoners continue to be brought In In batches from Interior points, there have, been no more public shootings here. Indeed, the gov ernment denies that any more executions have taken place. This, however. Is In credible, in view of the fact that many persons are known to have been dragged from their beds at night and that all trace of them has been lost. Jn the executions of March 15 last Pres ident Nord Alexis achieved the double purpose of obliterating as many of his foes as he could lay hands on. and strik ing terror Into the hearts of those who were beyond his reach. Since then his name and that of his ferocious lieuten ant. General Jules Alexis Coicou. who personally directed the shooting of the prisoners, including some of his own blood relatives, are mentioned only in whispers. All Hayti trembles before them. Alexis' Horrible Tlireat. Alexis has made the significant state ment that, if he Is not permitted to end his term of office unmolested, he will, rather than submit to deposition, write his name on the scroll of fame in the blood of such a massacre ae Hayti has not seen since the days of Dessalines. once known as Jean Jaqles No one doubts his ability to carry out this threat, which is understood to be Intended as a deterrent not only to rev. olutionists. but to any attempt at for eign interference In the affairs of Hayti. With order restored and their lives and property under the protection of ships of war. the foremost question in the minds of foreign residents is whether the time haa not come for a final solution of the Hatian question. All agree that Hayti during her 105 years of independence has not shown great capacity for self-government, and the affairs of the Island have now reached about the lowest ebb in its bltory. Men and Officers Beg on Streets. Destitution prevails on every hand; ragged soldiers swarm the streets beg ging plteously, and even officers, be dazzled in dingy gold and silver lace, beg cap in, hand and are profuse in thanks for a dole of 5 cents. The sol diers beg because their pay. when they get it. amounts to less than 30 cents a month, and what else they are able to secure is small. A General receives 200 gourdes a month, equal to about $27, so that In order to live he must add to his income as best he may. Similarly all government officials who are paid in the debased currency are expected to re coup themselves in some manner. The Haytains of the better class know all this, but under penalty of their lives cannot openly express their views.

Only Hope Is Intervention. "I know no such man,' he replied, and then added: "But what is the use of discussing that? Assuming that we had one man of exalted patriotism and un doubted capacity, he could never aspire to the Presidency, simply because he could not offer to his followers the as surance of public plunder, which here constitutes the prize attraction of public office. The affairs of the republic are absolutely desperate. We are like chil dren unable to care for ourselves and our only hope lies in the intervention of some strong power, which in a spirit of human ity will lay a firm hand on us and guide us along the path of safety until such time as we may by force -of education develop a capacity for directing our own affairs."
