eret, especially those who have chill
dren in the school. The time Of thu

Legislators Have Rough House.

HAVANA. April 5.-The scene in the
house Of representatives today was one
Of wild disorder. There was no formal
opening of the house owing to the in
ability to muster a quorum. The Ma
tionalist members refused to enter the
chamber, knowing that if the question
Of contested seats arose they would be
outvoted by the coalition lately ar
ranged between the Republicans and
Moderate Liberals.
The Nationalist came to the build
ing accompanied by several hundred
local followers. The Republicans and
Moderate Liberals, for the most part,
remained in their seats.
During the confusion the speaker of
the house, who is a Nationalist not be-
ing present, the vice speaker called
upon the sergeant-at-arms and the
employees of the house to preserve Or
der, but the crowd was too great to
handle. Lionaze Castillo, a prominent
Nationalist, who was one of those
elected, mounted the reporters table
and assured the crowd that justice
would be done and that the represen-
tatives who had been fraudulently de-
clared elected would never be permitted
to take their seats.
Since the coalition Of the moderate
elements the Nationalist have shown
no desire to submit party questions to
a vote The difficulty is over con-
tested elections.

BeIqians DENY Cruelty.

WASHINGTON, d. c. April SIN
view of the recent charges made
against the administration of the Con-
go Free State, the latter has cabled
authority to James Gustavus Whitley
to give a resume of the Brussels note
which has been issued in reply to the
charges made in the recent report OF
the British CONSUL
1t is maintained that natives were
not manned by the authorities, but
by one another in tribal wars. One
case that was investigated was that
of a boy who claimed to have lost one
of his hands as a result of cruel treat
ment. He afterward confessed that he
lied, and had lost his hand in a boar
hunt. The natives. it is said, will con-
coct any plot rather than work, and
especially object to the gathering OF
rubber, though they are required to
work only forty hours a month.
The Brussels note refutes all the
points of the British Consurs report,
and is held to be a most convincing
testimony to the humanitarian work
which King Leopold has accomplished
in Africa

What the Brokers Say.
OConnor & Van Bergen's stock letter
The market generally has been strong
at advances and without any special fea-
lures. Trading was less concentrated,
and while not in large volume was fairly
active, though very professional The
tone OF the market has been steady and
features of strength were found in Atch-
iSon; Southern Pacific. Union Pacific, ST.
Paul. Missouri Pacific and United States
Steel preferred and some of the special
ties. Favorable influences affecting spec
ulation were Of a more hopeful feeling re-
garding action of the United States Steel
dividend and the COmpany's quarterly
statement and the easier tendency of the
exchange market A lack of any really
important liquidation encouraged buying
for further improvement in prices and
occasional receSSiOnS were not serious and
only natural condition of healthy sDec-
ulatiOn. While the Union Pacific move
ment and Northern Securities case We're
StlH uppermOSt in point of interest and
discussion, the tendency to apprehension
was less pronounced, and other factors
RnectIng the market were given more at
tentiOn than of late. In the last hour
the market became duh and the close was
at recesSiOns, a little heavy, but not weak
j. G. Geraghty & Co.'S correspondents
say of stocks:
Walker BrOs.-The market was steady
and at the opening inclined to be strong
There was some activity at the opening
but. in the middle of the day the market
became dull In the late afternoon prices
eased off a little and closed under the
best The tone was good and it looked
as if shorts had to cover.
Notwithstanding the bearish
developments Of the past two DAYS the
market was strong throughout the day
and at times almost buOyant under the
aggressive buying Of wheat was generally
conceded to be strong interests. No pub
lie following was attracted by the demon
stratiOn, but it is thought the purpose
OF the man1Dula tors was accomplished in
the dlscourag cement of shorts selling in
any notable volume There was no pres
sure to sell at any time during the SEES
sion. The action Of the market can be
explained only by two theories that seem
at all tenable-frst, that those who have
accumulated stocks secretly are making
a market upon which to unload their
holdings, or, second. that the big inter
eStS that have engineered the late adj
vance, through their knowledge Of the
test, are positive that no serious trouble
will result and are carrying out their in
tentlon. which seemed manifest last week
of putting prices higher. Meantime out
sIders can only guess which of these
theories IS the most probable. Certainly
no trustworthy opinion can be advanced
upon the publicly known facts
