NEW YORK, May 2.-TAe shoot ing with fatal results at Fort de France, Martinique, was no surprise to one man at least, in that city, who, occupying a prominent position with a well known exporting firm, could not allow his name to be made public, in view of the fact that he was con nected politically with one party on the island, the anti-negro element. This man received a cable message immediately after the shooting of M. Siger. For years there has .been a race war between the negroes and the whites and the mayor has been the foremost in spreading among the negroes the doctrine of 'Down with the Whites,' telling them that if the white race dominated, they (the ne groes), would be sold into slavery and such nonsense," said the man, at his office yesterday. "No one knows better than I," he continued, "how outside of the main centers the agitation against a white man's regime has been conducted for years, ihe teeling is intensely bit ter. Recently M. Vardon, a young mnn. cried nut in the street 'Lonur 40,000 Laymen Pass in Review Live the Whites' He was arrested Before ArchbishOD Of N.

NEW YORK, May 2.-New York witnessed an extraordinary religious demonstration today on Fifth avenue, when 40,000 laymen ranging from 20 PfPle" this ma" said "the Political to 60 years of age, passed in review before the Archbishop of New York and his guest of honor, the Irish pre late, Cardinal Logue, of Armagh. It was the climax to a series of rejoic ings for the century of organized Catholicism in this city. The parade started to pass the grand stand at "2 o'clock and last company passed at 5 o'clock. Among those in the parade' were Thomas F. Ryan, Judge Mor gan, J. O'Brien and other well known men. disturbance was probably no more than the one at the democratic con vention in Carnegie Hall."

SAN FRANCISCO, May 2.-Cun-ningly hidden in a secret receptacle deftly carved in the leg of an antique table, the fortune of the late Mrs. Jessie Fremont Dietsch, relative of the noted pathfinder, General John C. Fremont, was found yesterday by the deputy public administrator, W. J. Hines. The neatly fastened little bundle gave up a bank book showing deposits of $4200, a costly collection of time-honored jewelry, shares in wildcat concerns worth their waste paper value. The latter articles are considered worthless, though they represented thousands of dollars at one , time. Their presence in the treasure box tells a silent story of where the dead woman sank the large sums which she was supposed to have in her possession at the time of her death. The sole heir to the valuables is Mrs. Mary Anne Jemmim Sizemore of Georgetown, Idaho. WASHINGTON, May 2. The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business April 30, 1908, the debt, less cash in the treasury amounted to $925,167,236 which is an increase as compared with March 30, 1908, of $15,445,899.

ROBERT WATCHORN. NEW YORK, May 2.-Robert Watchorn, commissioner of immigra tion, was asked what he thought of the report that he was to be placed at the head of a potential new bureau of the Department of Commerce and Labor, to be known as the "Anarchist Exclusion Branch." Mr. Watchorn declined to discuss the matter in any way until he had official information regarding it. He did not appear to be well pleased with the idea. "It is not generally known," he said, "that the United States gets one-third of the Italian emigrants, the actual figures for the last year being 640, departures from Italy, of which number 273,000 came to the United States, the rest going principally to South America."
