 Congressman Theodore |. Burton. summafizfng tonight the reports on the visit of congressional party to the island of San Domingo, said that 1t was the belief of the conSressfen on the trip that some sort of protectorAte was essential to secure tranquility in the island and prevent serious cernplicA. tions. The oonkreeemen consider the plan proposed by the president or some similar plan absolutely necessary.
 Mir. Burton said: fl returned from San Domingo with . decided opinien in favor of taking possession of the custom houses under a duaesi.protec- terate as recommended by president Roosevelt. The reason for this con. ciusion is not A desire to have our government gain foothold in the island Or for any advanced application Of the Monroe doctrine. It fs necessary in order to secure tranquility nthe re- public of Santo Domingo to aid ite people ana to prevent complication of a most serious nature.
 ''The conditions there for many years have been deplorabie. While 1t is one of the most productive portions of the West indies. if not the most pro- ductive the prevailing condition has been one of anarchy. There has been no disposition to maintain a peaceful and orderly government, but the peo- pie have been arrayed under ambitious and more or less interruptions leaders who have sought to exploit the island in a manner which would do discredit to the worst despot of the old world"

The process which was used for the preservation of Cleopatras needle in Central Park, New York, is now being tried on St. Paurs Cathedral in Lon don, together with a dry cleaning" process which is the invention of an American, Neal Farnham. who has lately opened offices in London. The cause of the decay of the stone Is the moisture and the strong acids in the air, and the Farnham process removes the accumulated matter by a sand blast with a pressure of thirty pounds to the square inch. The loss of stone Is said to be only a tooth of an inch. The preserving process consists in forcir a refined paraffin wax into the surface to a depth of an eighth of an inch or more. The Hotel Cecil has lately been cleaned by the sand blast, and is said to look newer and smarter than when it was built.

WEEKLY BANK STATEMENT CAUSE

Contraction of Loans Reported, and All Previous Estimates of Its

New York. April 1.--The weekly

Bank ing opinion on this point was by no means agreed, in spite of the nominal strength of the bank statement. Ad- ditions are constantly made to the list of new bond Issues which will add to the requirements of the money market and the extent of the exterior demand for money is an unsolved problem. The reviews of mercantile agencies point to highly prosperous conditions in all lines and these were a factor l in the days cheerful sentiment. But l the activity thus indicated promises a continued wide demand for funis in all lines of business.
