NEW YORK, April 2S.-Heayy iqui-
today without any new development in
the situation. The violent decline IN
prices for the last two days brought
additions to the flood on the market by
the wiping out of margins; uncovering
of stop-loss orders, shrinking of col
lateral and all the other natural conse-
quences of a sudden contraction in the
market value Of securities.
Such a drop in prices as that Of yes
terday usually has the result of pre-
cipitating additional burdens on the
market Immediately following, owing to
impaired margins. Sales Of this char
acter seemed to be withheld from the
market when trade first began, but be-
fore the session was over stocks poured
out from every direction and were
thrown: over on a swiftly declining
range Of prices, sales either being
forced or the sellers determined to get
out at the prevailing prices in the fear
that worse was to follow. The level
reached was materially lower than the
low point Of yesterday.
Such exceptions to the weakness as

eating the gloom that prevailed in all
speculative quarters. The bank state

tackled to the appropriations:

This clearly makes the disbursement
of the 100000 contingent on there being
no extra session except the members
of the Legislature serve at such extra
session without pay or mileage.

C. M. ROBINSON
AND HONOLULU

Worlds Work for October contains
an article on "Remaking of Our Cities"
by Charles Milford Robinson, In which
the following reference Is made t.
Honolulu:
When the writer left Denver he was
asked to proceed to Honolulu on what
seemed the presumptuous errand of
planning for the greater beauty of that
capital. 1t turned out that In spite OF
Honolulu's lovely natural advantages,
many pertinent suggestions could be
made; and that student of these
matters, going to the islands as
stranger, was able to point out some
simple ways OF securing attractive ef-
fects that the residents had never
thought of. But the most important
recommendation he made was that the
Individuality OF the city be retained,
lest Its charm depart. There was a
feeling that the way to improve was
TO stralghten and widen lovely wind
Ing lanes: to build hot and sunny
quays and broad boulevards, and make
a flower garden on an extinct volcano!
He insisted that with such work tho
winsomeness of Honolulu would de-
part; that II would always be known
as the town that was spoiled, and that
us duty was to be true to itself-be
1t would have distinction.
The recommendations OF the report are
being carried out.

Next week the Bijou theatre viii open
ats doors for the winter season with a
sparkling farce comedy called "A Run
away Match" There will be the usual
matinees
The Ledger-Dispatch of Norfolk, Thurs
day, August 8, says:
Variety is the spice of the show business
as well as of life and the truth of the
declaration is manifest this week in the
large audiences that are patronizing the
Casino, where "A Runaway Match" is the
attraction. The play is a straight farce
comedy the kind that makes laughs that
mean something. There is not a dull mo-
ment from start to finish. The story is
palatable. The situations are cleverly
worked out. The lines are well written.
The whole show goes like a streak Of
lightning and 1t interests without harm.
1t is well worth seeing and those who
miss 1t will lose a genuine treat. 1t Is
good for several reasons, but principally
because 1t is entirely different from any
thing that Manager Wells has offered this
season, and 1t succeeds in its mission.

FINER THAN EYER
ELABORATE PLANS BEING CON-

Valparaiso, August 24.-As the result of
the splendid courage of the people, and
with the cooperation of the city govern
ment, Valparaiso will be rebuilt within u
few years on finer and more beautifuL
lines than before the disaster of August 16.
The rain last night caused most of the
people to desert the tents which fney had
occupied since the earthquake and return
to their houses. Almost all the walls are
cracked, but there were no violent earth
tremors during the night or today.
There are no CONGREGATIONS, but the
blowing up of dangerous structures, with
dynamite continues, and loud explosions
are frequently heard. Otherwise the town
has assumed an almost normal appear-
ance.
Many business houses have been re-
opened
The residences on Allegro and Victaxia
hills which are occupied principally by
Americans, Englishmen and Germans.
suffered comparatively little damage.
Entire streets have been practically wiped
out
One thousand of those killed by tina
earthquake have been buried and there are
more than 1000 corpses beneath the ruins
For relief purposes the city has been
divided into ten sections SO that assistance
may be extended systematically. Provis-
ions are abundant.
The foreign merchants of the city have
appointed committee to assist in the re-
lief work. Several of the consuls here
have received orders from their govern
ments to send home such of their country
men as have not the means to re-estab-
fish themselves or to pay their own pas
sage to their native country. Sheds are
being constructed to shelter the destitute.
Government engineers from other pro-
visions have been ordered to come to VAL
paraiso to assist in making plans for the
reconstruction of the city. -
The summary punishment melted out to
those who were caught stealing has put
stop to robbers. The import duties on
foodstuffs have been temporarily suspend
ed Street traffic was paralyzed today by
