PAINTINGS ARE
 CALLED GENUINE

| New York, March 1S.-F. Hopknson
 Smith. painter of water colors and oils, author, lecturer, critic and civil engineer,
 was the chief witness today in the suit brought by William T. Evans against William Clausen. an art dealer, to re- cover $3500 for two pictures which Evans bought from Clausen as genuine Homer Martins, and which some experts have pronounced bogus. Homer Martin was one of the early American landscape painters.
 MT. Smith said that he is 72 years old, that he had painted in oils for 10 years, and that four of his pictures had been hung in the Paris salon. He pronounced the pictures involved in the Evans suit unquestionably genuine.
 "There is not man living" pro- nounced MT. Smith, 'who could forge g. Homer Martin so as to deceive painter, a. dealer. a collector, connoisseur.

Again, in this picture he has let the paint dry 10 or 20 hours in places and gone over it again, dragging the brush along the surface. No man living could initiate that
 MT. Smith said he had known Martin intimately, and that he had seen him paint the very picture in question from a sketch.
 Edward Gay. an artist and lifelong friend of Homer L Martin, the noted American artist, testified that the work, Near Newport" sold by Clausen to Evans. was a genuine Martin. He also verified the genuineness of the painting, "Normandie Bridge"

Hopeless Minority

Detection was written on the faces of many of the regular republican lead CTS early this afternoon and it was plain they believed they were in a homeless and permanent minority In the House and at best were only prolong- ing inevitable dethronement. The House calls sent out by the re- publican and democratic whips resulted in IT members showing up as follows;
 Ten regulars, one insurgent and six democrats. The democrats were Rhin- ock of Kentucky, Alexander of Mis- sourio. Talbett of Maryland, Boehne of Indiana. Hobson of Alabama and Pou of North Carolina.
 MT. Bartlett of Georgia, on making the point of order that the motion to take a recess was not privileged after the speaker announced he was prepared to rule, Mr. Cannon sustained the point of order.
 The entire membership of the House was present and various motions were
 made, some for the purpose of obtain ing a ruling, and others to postpone the ruling until tomorrow. Finally the
 motion by MT. Gaines of West Virginia that the ruling be postponed until 12:05 o'clock tomorrow was put to the House and the roll was called.
 The effect of this motion would be to carry the question into another leg
 islative day, all previous motions being
 for a postponement to 11:55 o'clock,
 which would continue the present leg islative day
 By a vote of 164 to 150 the House agreed to defer the ruling until to- morrow.
 As soon as the result was announced
 routine matters were taken from the speakers desk and proceeded with as
 though the House had not been in com
 bat for 2S hours. Several conference reports, among them the white slave
 bill, were agreed to by the House.
 Upon motion of MT. Gaines of West
 Virginia, the House at 4:ts o'clock ad-
 journed until tomorrow at 12 o'clock.

Dun,s Weekly Review

New Yorok, March 1S-R. G. Dun &
 Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow
 will say:
 In spite of a number of abnormal. puz-
 zling and disturbing developments, the
 volume of business is large and steadily
 expanding as the spring season opens and
 weather conditions improve.
 The expansion noted in iron and steel continues chiefly in finished materials. There are intimations that the volume of new business in these lines has been ex-
 aggerated, but 1t is evidence, neverthe-
 less, that a very considerable tonnage is
 being placed and inquiries now pending afford much encouragement. The rail- roads are replenishing old equipment and activity in the structural division is a prominent feature of the situation. so 1t is estimated that buying from the latter source is at the rate of 100000 tons month- ly on the more important contracts, but cutting of prices suggests that there is sharp competition among the fabricating mills.
 Business has come forward on cotton goods for export to India and China at prices about on the level of those ruling when the last business was done with these countries a year ago. Inquiry is continued and more business is expected. Additional sales are reported of gray and

IMPROVEMENT IN
 GENERAL TRADE
Reports Still Show Evidences
 of Irregularity
WEATHER IS A FACTOR
Curtailment of Production in Cotton Goods Still Goes On Hut a Better Business Is shown in Both
 Iron and Steel

New York; March 1S.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say:
 Trade irreguarty is still manifest, but improvement due to the advance of the spring season. Improvements in weather and in trade reported is most manifest in the agricultural sections of the west, northwest and southwest, while the re- ports from the east and parts of the south show the development of spring business retarded by the lingering of winter. However, the unsettled labor outlook in many lines of industry, the effect of high prices, as limiting demand, or as in the case of cotton goods, n- ducing curtailment of production and the tendency to await judicial decisions in several importalt cases, are all laid stress upon. There is little disposition to deny that trade is considerably better than a year ago, but the rate of progress is slower than sanguine expectations had led to expect. A better business has de- veloped in finished steel lines, specifica- tions on bars, tubes, tnplate, sheets and wire are heavy and new business in structural steel Is still very good.
 Agricultural implement manufacturers figure largely in the demand for bars and the mills experience differ in making deliveries. Orders for steel rails continue satisfactory and foreign trade in this item is good. The coal trade of the west has been more active and the rail- roads have been busily employed hauling coal in preparation for eventualities pro- ceeding out of the demands for higher wages by the coal miners.
